Terrible service all around, the cup my latte came in had lipstick all around the rim. They took forever to get around to changing it. Not a smiling employee up front. Definitely not what I had anticipated. Our group said Burger good, fries good, pancakes good, meatloaf good but the mashed potatoes were horrible. Maybe it was just this particular time of day. I might try again and skip the latte.
Rolled up close to 2:30, had no wait. Sat outside because it was a nice day and the atmosphere was nice! The waitress was good, all but one thing, but we DID come in at 2:30 and they were probably trying to get ready for dinner.
The music was too loud. Like straight up, I know that it’s right off of 90, but I’d rather listen to semi-distant traffic with a wall buffer than listen to Justin Beiber’s ‘Baby’ or a song repeat “Smack That”. Ultimately, not the worst. It actually sparked a new inside joke.
When asking if dairy can be removed from a burger, we were told that “some things just can’t be adjusted” which is understandable for a busy restaurant. There was only one other patron at this moment. And, perhaps, just make cheese on burgers optional. Ultimately, our waitress did ask the chef and got cheese removed.
When asking her to just hold the dairy from the fajitas, she got confused. I just don’t want them to waste dairy we won’t use. I didn’t get any sides with my fajitas. Just meat, rice,beans and tortilla. Theres also no lettuce for the fajitas according to the menu. I wouldn’t have gotten lettuce regardless. My favorite part of the fajitas were taking them home and fixing them up with eggs and rice the following morning.
The shrimp tortilla soup had about 3 tiny pieces of shrimp, and didn’t come with tortilla strips. The shrimp is understandable, luck of the dip of the spoon. But we expected more from a restaurant that has the chef’s name on the door. My mom actually switched out to eat the burger because the shrimp tortilla soup was so disappointing
Also everything tasted overwhelmingly like cumin. The fajita meat (which wasn’t like any other fajita meat I’ve seen, so don’t expect something similar to traditional fajita meat), the salsa tasted of mostly cumin, the shrimp tortilla soup tasted of mostly cumin. Really, the biggest seasoning of the restaurant is cumin. Couldn’t taste a whole lot more. Did eat the salsa because it was there, but it wasn’t good.
On a minor note, we asked for charro beans and onion rings, but got refried beans and french fries. Comparable and no price difference, but not exact
We still aren’t sure if The Local Fix carries Coke products or not. We asked and the waitress listed off some other soda brands, but then when we asked what drinks they had, she listed out Coke products as well as other sodas. We just went with tea, not wanting to get Pepsi or some other cola. We were not given a drink menu
Also the menu posted on their website is not accurate.
So to wrap things up with a nice bow, too much cumin, food was underwhelming, overhyped, and expensive. Wouldn’t recommend. Which is disappointing, because TLF used to be good years and years ago

This is a gem in Uvalde, TX! They started out as a coffee shop and then expanded to a new building and full restaurant. The coffee is great, and so is the food. Highly recommended if you're passing by Uvalde!

Beautiful up-to-date new restaurant with lovely decor. Food descriptions sound amazing. No wine list to speak of. Food was NOT good. Which was sad because clearly it is a chef inspired menu. The salsa was good!!

Needed coffee but don't do that star place so decided to try this out. Got the cinnamon brown sugar and fell in love. Delicious!

Hours on the door state 9am to 9pm Monday through Saturday, and today is Thursday. Wasting a patrons time scores you in the negative. The door was locked, and I was disappointed.

I wish I'd looked at the reviews before eating here. The place is beautiful and the service was good, but the food is unbelievably awful. I wish there was one thing that would make me want to give it a second chance, but all 6 dishes ordered were very disappointing. Not one of our party of 6 got a meal that was good. The place is so nicely done when you walk in, it's clean, the service is good, I can't understand how they got the food part so bad. The descriptions look great but the food is a big miss. I think they're going for something good, but it somehow just doesn't come together. And it's not that I just didn't like the flavors or seasonings, there wasn't anything I could appreciate about the taste, the quality or the presentation. No one in our group finished their meal, we all left our plates mostly full because the food was that bad. It's very disappointing and I don't know how they're in business. I thought maybe dinner just isn't their thing and we should come back for breakfast, but my friend told me she'd tried breakfast with a group of friends and it was not a good experience, but she decided to try again because she was told they got a new chef. From our experience tonight, nothing has changed. I had heard really good things about this place when they were in the old location, but something clearly changed because sadly, there was not one single good thing about the food we had tonight. Very disappointing.

Ordered a “smashburger” and steak salad (medium rare) for lunch. First, they were unwilling to modify the smashburger - husband was hoping for no veg or sauce, just meat and cheese (which, mind you, is how a true *smashburger* typically comes). They were ultimately able to accommodate, but the “smash” burger came out as 2 over cooked normal burger patties with cheese. Nothing “smash” about it. Husband said it tasted like frozen premade patties, no real flavor. He didn’t finish it. Who doesn’t finish a cheeseburger? That should tell you all you need to know. Fries were good! My steak salad looked decent when it landed on the table but knew I was in trouble when the steak was impossible to cut. It came out raw. When I brought it to our waitress’ attention, she gaslit me - “the cooks probe these with a thermometer before they come out.” It’s worth noting that I often order my steaks rare, so I’m not afraid of a cooler center or a little pink. I actually prefer it. But this was RAW. After some back-and-forth, they let me send it back. I was hopeful to get a new steak but no, same one - now so well done it felt like a slap in the face. Took one bite and it tasted sour. I’ll muster through a bad, overcooked cut of meat to get some protein in but this was absolutely inedible. Don’t waste a second in this place. Do better!

Excellent food! nice variety and prepared well… hot chocolate was not hot. And, our server barely greeted us and never smiled once, brought the food out well but did not ask if we wanted water, did not bring salt or pepper, and brought us french fries and not home fries which we ordered .My wife asked for ketchup, which she never brought. we were the only customers for most of the meal. We want to help the restaurant do well and a smile and attentiveness go a long way!

A co-worker had spoken at length about the food here. I was saddened to learn that they opened too late for me to get breakfast here. However, I feel like I was the winner upon trying the dinner options here. The food was all fresh and made to order, and while this took a little bit of time, it was well worth the wait as it was absolutely amazing! The generous portions were a welcome surprise as well!
