About The Local

Backyard Bistro is a popular spot for a casual dining experience. The restaurant offers a wide range of tasty southern fare, including BBQ and burgers, as well as unique options like fish tacos. The smash burger is a standout dish, with a generous portion and homemade chips. The patio area is a lovely spot to enjoy a meal on a nice day. The service is also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who are happy to make recommendations. The venue is family-friendly, with a kid-friendly atmosphere and entertainment options. It is conveniently located near the stadium, making it a great spot for pre-game meals. Recently, the restaurant rebranded as The Local, but still offers delicious food, including fish tacos that are flavorful. They have also added the vegan burger back to the menu, along with several salad options, which many customers appreciate. The food generally receives positive comments, with highlights like mac & cheese, though some dishes, like chicken sandwiches, may be dry. Overall, it remains a good place to visit before a game or any time, despite missing some of the original Backyard Bistro atmosphere.
