LFM - Local Foods Market

This place is amazing! Everything I've ever ordered or anything anyone I've ever been with ever ordered has been amazing. This time our group ordered cashew queso, whipped goat cheese, taco salad, quinoa burger (the mustard was really spicy) lions mane sandwich (house made pickles were incredible), a couple desserts (3 carrot cupcakes, and something else that disappeared before I could take a picture) another cashew queso (everyone loved it so much a family law was passed to require two cashew quesos for all future), and a couple drinks. Oh, we also ended up ordering another carrot cake since someone (who I prefer to remain nameless) asked incredibly nicely and I don't like sleeping on the couch. Additionally, the service is always incredible which adds to the experience.

Vibe- Like the name says, they use ingredients from all over Texas! There's plenty of seating inside and outside too. There's also a shop right next door where you can shop some local products. Very chill vibes!Customer service- Great! Food/drinks- I got a refreshing seasonal sangria, cashew queso, and a quinoa burger (didn't like it that much but the chips were great :( ) Parking- There's plenty in the lot.*I'll go up to 5 stars once I find a vegan meal I like!

This is a cute little market next door / connected to Local Foods with some nice, gift-y food items plus unique pantry staples. It is always fun to browse this section when eating here. Plus, if you are looking for a quieter meal at LF, there are a few secluded tables in this section with a much more chill vibe - maybe this is the place to study/work over your meal vs the still nice but more bustly section next door.

local foods market is a very vibey place! the decorations are cute and ambiance is perfect for a chill lunch/dinner. service was also extremely friendly.i ordered the garden sammie which was DELICIOUS. the two sides (broccoli-quinoa salad & autumn's bounty) were packed with veggies and very yummy. i will definitely be coming back here!

The newly redesigned Local Foods Market in Rice Village is a great place to check out! They also have a large outdoor patio with booth seating and tables. They also sell goods as well! As for the menu, there are the familiar items that Local Foods has and there are also other menu items that are specialized to LFM. Here are a few of my favorites: the cashew queso is a must. I also recommend the avocado toast and adding salmon on top. The twice cooked French fries are perfectly crispy. The spinach dip is also highly recommended. Also, I believe this may be a brunch menu item, but the Turkey hash is very flavorful! There's ground Turkey, potatoes, two perfectly poached eggs and seasoned veggies. Service is counter service and they bring your food to you. There's a large parking lot and I haven't had any issues finding a spot since LFM is the only business there for now. However, I do find that the spots are really narrow. Overall great place to check out for brunch/lunch food!

I went on Thursday for lunch. I was hungry, but I needed something light as I had a wine dinner in the evening. I had the salmon poke bowl and it was so delicious! Creamy egg, avocado, yummy rice. It comes with a soy based dipping sauce. Can't wait to get it again. Their salmon is always so good. My friend had the crunchy chicken sandwich and devoured it. The ambiance is very casual.

We tried the chicken posole soup and a taco salad. The posole soup was good, the taco salad was average, I didn't realize it doesn't come with a protein none of the options available are ground beef. Average experience. Watch out for the salt and pepper grinders, remove the bottom cap before grinding.

Fresh food prepared with locally sourced ingredients, and so many healthy options on the menu! The menu is vegetarian friendly with a variety of salads and sandwiches with several sides.My veggie sandwich with brussel sprouts, avocado hummus and greens was delicious and quinoa squash soup was perfectly comforting for a rainy day in Houston.Staff is friendly and service is quick. You can eat in the market area or a nicer dining area with spacious seating in the adjacent room.

I usually dine in but ordered to go via Door Dash this time. The order was completed pretty quickly. I got the Gulf Seafood sandwich with kale salad and potato salad as my sides. The sandwich was very fresh and filling as always. I love the flavors so much. The sides are good portions.

Excellent food, with a fun eating environment. Don't miss getting to know Matthew. He mak s it all even more special. Jim and June Nance
