Consistently good and reasonably priced. Go often with neighborhood friends and never had a bad meal.

I was really looking forward to dining here tonight, but unfortunately the experience didn’t match expectations. The restaurant recently changed chefs, and the menu no longer reflects what is listed on their website. Several dishes I had specifically come to enjoy were not available.
While the new chef has kept a few of the original items, the quality was not at the same level as before. It was disappointing to see that the consistency and care that once made this place stand out are no longer there.
I truly hope the restaurant updates their website to accurately reflect the new menu and works on bringing the quality back up to what diners have come to expect.

Our absolute go to whenever we go out on Saturday nights. Great family vibes, and I like supporting an ACTUAL local restaurant.

The food was okay, not worth the price. The vibe was aight. The service was okay. Nothing Wow’d me. Would’ve given it 3 stars but the price was off for the taste and quality of the food. There was nothing there that made me want to go back. The appetizer was the winner but everything else tasted OK.

Quiet, modern, and jazzy atmosphere with incredibly fresh, flavorful food. The strawberry salad and midday breakfast were both standouts, so good I’d happily order them again. 10/10.

We visited The Local ATX for a Sunday brunch. It’s a small, quaint and intimate restaurant. Fairly busy but we were seated quickly. A little too dim as the lighting took a few minutes to adjust to but once you settle in it’s just fine. Our server Daniel greeted us immediately and we ordered our drinks. The brunch menu offered great options for drinks, appetizers & entrees. I had the Breakfast Sammie on a potato bun with house sausage with herb fries and my friend had the build your own plate with biscuits and sausage gravy, eggs and sugar bacon. Nothing fancy just a good ole fashioned southern style brunch. I recommend asking for an over easy egg instead of the scrambled eggs for the Sammie but overall a really great meal. Daniel was very attentive to our needs giving us a really good experience. Parking was a breeze and overall I’ll definitely be back. Pricing was aligned with portions and quality and definitely affordable for those who want a nice place to meet up with a friend or family without breaking the bank. Accommodations were more than adequate which included a small sit down bar with two tv’s if you go alone. See you guys real soon and thank you for everything💯

Service was good. Food was extremely underwhelming and not worth the price.

The Local was an impressive setting to enjoy brunch. I love the decor and the staff felt like family. There was a nice large bar and all indoor seating and had that old fashioned early 1900s feel.
I ordered the Breakfast Sammie. Like the menu said it was cheesy scrambled eggs, candy bacon, chipotle Honey Aioli on a Potato Bun. It was very tasty with great flavor and enjoyed it very much. It was clean and perfect making it one of the best breakfast sandwiches I had.
