“We made a reservation here for my boyfriend’s birthday and had an amazing time! We sat outside on the deck, and the ambiance was great. The sourdough and smoked salmon dip was delicious and everyone loved their entrees. Molly, our server, was absolutely fantastic! She brought a dessert out for my boyfriend with a candle at the end of our meal and played a harmonica while we sang happy birthday. We couldn’t have asked for a better night. Will be back again!“

“So nice to have a large, welcoming coffee shop nearby where they don’t require you to waste a paper cup if you bring your own. So glad these guys moved in.“

“Just ate here for the first time tonight. Food was terrific but the best part for me was all the gluten free options on the menu! The majority of the items are gf and others have gf options. Staff was friendly as well. We will be back!“

“I want to give a shout out to a wonderful new restaurant here in South Austin, specifically the Brodie/Slaughter area. It's called The Local, and it's a delight. The decor is warm and inviting--no chrome or glass and no tvs blaring sports. We were pleased to see that the place was busy at 7 on a Tuesday, it's such a welcoming sound. The food was perfectly prepared and artfully presented, simple, no frufru. The service was terrific, sharp, prompt and helpful. We met the owner and were delighted to learn that this is not part of a chain or even a 'group' as they call them now, but a single family operation. We'd love to see them succeed, if only for the slightly selfish reason that it's nice to go to a good restaurant without having to drive a long way. It's just a few minutes down the street and you may be sure we'll be going back. We need more of these kinds of joints down here. Fair warning, it's not cheap, but then what is these days?“

“Well I would say yes & no! Nice place but the way the tables are set up is horrible. There isn’t a stage so if you are sitting at the small tables you can’t see the band that is performing because the higher table are in front. I think that the higher tables should go against the wall where the picnic table is or towards the back and the smaller tables should be up front. There are some people who are unable to sit and the higher tables but are unable to see the band other then that’s it’s a pretty nice place.“

“Had such a great experience at Culture Club! Kodey was our bartender and she was honestly the highlight of the night. Super friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away.

Her drinks were AMAZING!! like, actually memorable, not just your average bar drinks. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and really cares about what she’s serving.

We’ll definitely be back, and I’ll absolutely be sitting at her bar again.“

“Under the new ownership since this past summer, this local favorite spot is reclaiming its charm and developing it's own new and unique style by revamping the menu, redecorating the interior and bringing back live music! ;) I find myself just stopping by in the afternoon because it is always a super welcoming vibe, the food is amazing and the staff is very generous and attentive. 🤘 5/5 stars“

“Been here a few times now and between the great service and the amazing food..I love it here. I recommend the beef fajitas and carnitas 🤤 What is a bummer is the parking lot is difficult to find parking...but once you get it you get seated promptly and enjoy those freshly pressed tortillas!!“

“The good was great. We came here because we like the Gabriela's downtown. Did not disappoint. We started off with paleta shots and some drinks. The drinks were great. We had some poppers and bacon wrapped shrimp to start. The poppers smelled spicier than they really work. There could have been a bit more bacon for the large jalapeño. I had the tacos dorados. So good. Ordered them as is. My partner had the shrimp cocktail and said it was too spicy. To be fair, she can't really do a lot of spice so probably not that bad. All and all, great place. It was noisy since there was a DJ but I didn't go there expecting to be at a peaceful restaurant.“
