Loved the food Service was great.Nothing fancy, a little loud- it is a bar.My favorite local spot.Really good shrimp and grits . Burgers are excellent.probably could do better with desserts, but who needs the calories anyway.

I've been wanting to come here for awhile and finally got the opportunity to do so. I can now see why it's typically the talk of the town when considering a nice dinner/date night. We started with the cheesesteak eggrolls and cream of crab soup, both of which were incredible. I was licking the bowl when I was done. Then we got the Lobster finger special and duck and dumplings for our entrees. The presentation for all of the dishes were wonderful and made me appreciate the taste even more. Overall we had awesome drinks and great food and I will be back when I'm ready to spend that kind of money again!

We had an amazing dinner start to finish here! We sat at the bar area at a high top and the vibes were awesome. The service was great and server was super helpful. From espresso martinis to beef Wellington, everything here was great. The drink and wine selection was also perfect for our family night out. Would definitely come back!

The guy was working in the area and we decided to have lunch! It was my day off! We noticed The Local previously when we stopped at The Waffle House which is right next to The Local! This place is described as elevated comfort food! It is quaint but very inviting! We sat at a high top bar table and ordered food!! Ps, we were served by a very nice young lady! I ordered the watermelon salad, and cream of crab soup! My guy ordered grilled oysters and the short rib grilled sandwich initially! The crab soup and salad was fire! However, the chargrilled oysters was ok! I've had better! My guy did not like his sandwich and our server was very quick to replace it! It was replaced with the crab cake sandwich which he did like! The Local was a very nice experience! I enjoyed the food and location! Fallston is far but if I'm in the area again, I may stop in!

We experienced the Sunday brunch here last weekend. This restaurant shares the same lot as Dunkin Donuts and Waffle House. The parking lot is tight. But there is parking. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The seating also includes in the bar or dining area. The staff was nice and present, it did take a little while for our food to come out. They have a decent menu for brunch including mimosas, bloody Mary's and espresso martinis. If you're not into breakfast they do have some sandwich options such as the hot Italian, and a turkey sub. We enjoyed the hot Italian with fries. It was a big sandwich! I had the eggs Benedict and it was okay but very bland, not really any seasoning. Overall it was a nice experience and inexpensive for two people during brunch!

I'm not sure where to begin. By far, the BEST service I've received in this area (Wolfgang Puck's restaurant in Hawaii would compare)We came in here on a whim for our Anniversary to try the Tomahawk steak and couldn't have been happier. The environment was homey with comfortable seating and a lot of home photos. We were seated with Stacie who immediately welcomed us, explained the menu, told us the specials, and cracked some jokes. She really made us feel at home and gave us sufficient time to review the menu in case we wanted to try anything else. We did decide on the Tomahawk and she let us know it would be 45 minutes but she would keep us updated and it would be carved table side. We elected to try the deviled eggs which she recommended and explained to us that the breading and sauce were the same used in the Buttermilk Chicken Sando. These eggs were FIRE! I told her I would be coming back to try the sandwich, and think it would be awesome with the deviled egg filling on top! Next up, she gave us some cornbread since we still had a while to wait and it was a perfect intermission! She kept us updated every so often and made sure our drinks stayed full. She would stop by to check on us or make general conversation. Finally she said the Tomahawk was on the way! I asked if I could video and she said they love it! The steak melted in our mouths and was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Everything we ate was just delicious. The experience was truly bar none and the food was absolutely amazing. I would eat here again and hope I could get Stacie back! I did listen to the other servers while we were waiting and they all seemed to be amazing. I know others on here feel this place is on the pricey side, however I did some research on the cost of a Tomahawk before we came in and I'm satisfied with what we spent. This definitely has more upscale vibes with the service and food but you won't feel out of place if you dine in jeans!

I always love going to the Local! Food is always 10/10 and service is always great. I've been about 5 times! Get the honey bee cocktail if you've never been! Vibes are giving birthday dinner or anniversary dinner since it is on the boujee-er side

My boyfriend and I visited The Local on a whim and let me tell you... ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! We had a very nice waitress named Lauren, the food came out rather quick but didn't lack in any way. Presentation, flavor and cohesiveness was a 10/10 for us. Huge compliments to the Chefs that created the menu and prepared our food, we will definitely be back.
