One of my favorite spots on Main Street! I’ve eaten my way through most of the menu and always direct folks to stop down for a bees knees and a figgy piggy. The owners and staff are all welcoming and the atmosphere is top notch.

One of my favorite places on Main Street, but also all of Eldersburg and Sykesville! Food is excellent, drinks are phenomenal, and the vibes are always so good. Always recommend Local Motive—whether it’s a chill hang out, date, or meeting up with a group of friends!

Finally this location has quality cocktails, something Market Tavern was not able to achieve, even after numerous suggestions. The new menu is great, even out of such a small kitchen. Love the Old Fashioned but eager to try some of the new drinks on the menu. Best Lemon Drop Martini ever. Caprese Panini with some added prosciutto is excellent.

The Local Motive is one of my favorite spots in Sykesville! Their sandwiches and light fare are consistently delicious—fresh ingredients, great flavor combos, and just the right portions. I also love their classic cocktails, which are well-crafted and never disappoint.
One of the best parts? Grabbing a window seat and watching the world go by. It’s the perfect place to relax, sip something tasty, and enjoy the charm of Main Street. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, flavorful, and laid-back experience.

Disappointed. Took my kid there for a quick lunch. Paid when we ordered food. No receipt. The food plus a soda should be $28 before tax. A few days later, my credit card was charged $39.30. I called them. The person I talked to said the manager will call me back. Never. A few dollars is not a big deal. However, I am disappointed with the way they handle their business, especially a local business.

Local Motive is a must-visit—everything from the food to the cocktails is incredible! The flavors are bold, the presentation is spot-on, and the vibe is just right for a night out. Can’t wait to go back!

Quite crowded when I've been here and with good reason. Excellent tap list, music not too loud, chill environment. Kudos the the management and staff.
