Local West

Looking at the menu board, you can see that this is not your standard deli. It's much more than just combinations of sliced meats and cheeses. You can get a gyro, chicken pizza, salmon burger, and sweet potato fries, among many other choices. When I see a restaurant like this, I seriously wish I lived closer.I decided to go with the Cubano. This is not some half assed ham and pickles sandwich. They take perfectly cooked pork and layer it with ham, pickles, and mustard, pressed between French bread. This is seriously the real deal. I have had sandwiches in Florida that were not as good as this.My wife normally shares at least a little bit of her meal with me. She didn't let me have any of her chicken sandwich. Fortunately, we both got fries. They are skin on, and the owner told us that they soak them overnight, which releases the starch and makes them crispier. There were an enormous number of fries, and we both ate all of them. And, that's not all. My wife got a salad with an amazing vinaigrette. And, the soup of the day was a potato soup. Every spoonful was savory, and I wish I had ordered more.We are only in Ohio for three days, and we came here on day two. We are definitely coming here on our last day.UPDATE: we came back on the way home, and I got a salmon burger. Unlike most salmon burgers, which consist of breading that was formed in front of a picture of a salmon, this one has a significant amount of salmon in it. It's served with an excellent tzatziki sauce. I also got a rich, tasty mac & cheese.There are many other things on the menu, and the soup selection rotates daily, so there are plenty of reasons to come back.

I visited Local West for my second time in the last few years, and it has kept up very well. I like the variety of sandwiches and burgers on their menu, it's perfect for takeout or just a casual meal at the shop, that's my favorite part as far as the food goes. I had the voodoo chicken sandwich and it had a tremendous spicy flavor, it was grilled but as great as it was already, frying the chicken would've tooken it up a few levels. The service is quick, especially if you're as lucky as me and show up before everyone else arrives to get dinner. The building in the interior is small and has a very simple layout, very clean, and comfortable in my opinion. Check this place out if you're in town or live in the Detroit-Shoreway area! I'm looking forward to getting the italian beef sandwich next visit.

The food never misses here and their online ordering makes it so easy for takeout. The sandwiches and sides make it a great lunch spot but don't knock it for dinner. It's really convenient located on Detroit Ave with a dedicated side lot. The staff have always been helpful and kind. If it's nice weather out, considering sitting on the front patio.

Don't know why they ask how I want my burger if it's gonna come out well anyways. Seems like they use a tasty blend of meat, but ours was overcooked. The owner was a little rude, but the cashier was nice.

I've been dining at Local West for 8+ years and it is one of my favorite spots to grab a burger. So glad to see that they've been able to survive the pandemic and unfortunate challenges other local restaurants have faced. The service is always quick considering that the food is made to order. During my most recent visit, I ordered the Blacon burger with sweet potato fries and it was satisfying. My only complaint is that the burger was cooked a little bit more than I expected but not to the point where I didn't enjoy it. Local West is a casual spot and I often dine inside or outside on the patio. Would definitely recommend Local West if you're looking for a casual spot with friendly service and great food!

DELICIOUS! My dad and I were recommended this place by a friend who said "it wouldn't disappoint" - and he was right!! These were some of the best sandwiches we've ever had!I got the Italian Beef Sandwich - it was good on its own, but when you dipped it in the au jus sauce - no words can describe how good this sandwich was! They also give you a good portion, so you will not leave this place hungry! My dad was craving a Cheesesteak and was so excited to try this one. It was a giant sandwich - filled to the brim with steak, topped with delicious cheese, and cooked to perfection... what more could you ask for? He loved this sandwich and ate every last crumb!!Both of our sandwiches came with hot, crispy fries - the perfect side to a perfect sandwich!We can't wait to come back and try more off of their menu, we heard the burgers are delicious too!

My favorite locally owned lunch spot. Their gyro is delicious as well as many of the salads and sandwiches I have tried. Their sweet potato fries are perfection.

Great place for lunch with adequate parking. This is a counter service restaurant, but your food will be brought to you if you dine in. Nice selection of sandwiches, burgers and salads with side dishes.

Love this place. Definitely one of my go tos when on this side of town and heading to the lake. Burgers aren't skimpy either. LOVE their sweet potato fries too! Mac n Cheese Burger is one of my go tos. And their homemade ketchup is bomb.

Very very nice! I like! A+ to the menu and setup of the restaurant, everything is made right there and looks and smells great!
