The Local Peasant - Sherman Oaks

I came here specifically to have the cali creamin which I was so stoked for, it's hard to find it at local bars around here.For a Saturday night it was busy, but we still got a table immediately so that was nice. We ordered the bbq tri tip which was huge and messy, but also delicious.The pretzel was meh, but the truffle butter HIT. Pork belly and watermelon was good, but wasn't a fan of my watermelon covered in bbq sauce.. lol but the belly was tender and moist.We also got the thick fries, which was about 1$ a fry, not really worth it on those... but overall it was a great experience. Good atmosphere, really kind servers and staff members, and it was clean. I will be back to hangout, the people in the bar was a good crowd and this seems like a fun place to belly up to the bar or just have a casual night out with friends.

I don't know why people come to this place. It's better than most other Gastropubs in the Valley because the clientele is more grown up. The food is just ok. I had the short rib sliders, and the meat was overcooked. My girlfriend had the turkey pot pie, which was delivered to her cold. She sent it back, and the second time, it was also delivered cold. Like the short rib, the turkey was also overcooked. The pastry for the pie was excellent. I will give you that. The ambiance is also lovely, and while I didn't drink, I suspect the bar service would be adequate. I've been to this location and Woodland Hills and had similar experiences at both.As a non-drinker, I won't be back for the food.

This was probably a trendy place 12-15 years ago. Fortunately for me, I hate trends. Generic "subway tiles" and "reclaimed wood" but very little in actual personality or atmosphere. Food has always been kinda ok to pretty good. For for a place called The Local Peasant they sure charge a ton for kinda ok food. Service has always been great, cheers to the staff working there. I'd love it to be a regular watering hole, but it's just generic enough with just bland enough food at too high a cost to make it worth while.

First time here I was very excited to try something new. Pretzel was delicious. Perfect size but the cheese was a bit runny. The staff was very nice and attentive. Food came out very fast. They have metered parking and it's a safe area. It kind of gives me speakeasy vibes because I didn't know where the restaurant is because it kind of is hidden. But I think that's really cool actually. A spacious bar. Cool experience

Long overdue, but met family here for some dinner and drinks during our visit in LA. Cool outdoor/indoor spot with lots of screens for sports games and things. The place is lively with loud background music and chatter. They have tables and lots of tall tables for bigger groups. It was during a heatwave so even having their dining area open to outside, it would have been nice if they had ceiling fans or something to make it a little cooler. Service is nice and attentive, esp given that we were a big group. The light bites were better than entrees, IMO. The crispy pork belly was so good, we ended up having to order more. The deviled eggs were good with a generous piece of bacon on top. I had to send my fries back only because it was cold like the food was sitting out for too long. But it definitely wasn't like the other fries my fam got. Parking can be challenging given that the place is on a busy street. Other than that, it's not a bad place to go to, esp during their HH!

I've been coming to the Sherman Oaks Local Peasant since early 2012, when people barely knew what a "gastropub" was. These days, you can't walk down any street in L.A. and sneeze without snot hitting the window of an industrial bar with herby craft cocktails and cast iron skillet-served apps. But when it first opened, it seemed like a sophisticated spot with an innovative menu.Though now subway tiles and wrought iron accents are standard pub décor, the Local Peasant remains an upper midscale place for quality food and drinks. Service is always friendly and efficient. It's not quiet, but a conversation can still be enjoyed even on a busy night. It may be tough to find parking on a weekend, but there are plenty of side streets with no meters if you don't mind a bit of a walk. There's also valet.I'm pleased that this place is still open, and still like it always was. With so many great spots from the 2010s now closed, it's lovely to be able to come back to a favourite place and make new memories over a decade later.

It was good which is all you need in a restaurant--- great service too for value . I would recommend

We closed down the bar! Mind you we got there for the tail end of all thing Local Peasant - good music, jumbo flat screen entertainment, stellar drinks, casual chic cool ambiance. Maddy, TD, Eric and I had one awesome night here. And I've been to and by The L.P. - Sherman Oaks before being a super local, but this was the first time I felt like I really enjoyed it. Tons of seating at the bar, booths and cafeteria style seating. Fairly enjoyable gastropub and bar eats (like their Portobello Sandwich... yum) w/ an extensive craft list for cocktails, beer and wine. Being a sweltering summer the frose spoke to me most and it didn't disappoint. The service even more impressive. While hours are listed online - in person it simply states until close... Which leaves you to believe until they do last call and slow down, which they in fact did. The lights came on bright, the music simmered to off and the crew of this hip spot began wrapping up and our band of four walked each other out before calling it a night.Definitely would plan another impromptu night here as well as a promptu... Food available for takeout or delivery as well, though nothing beats in-person with chill friendly bartenders and servers.Street parking about, mostly metered and some small lots closeby. Open everyday - 11 AM on weekends #BrunchLocal and 4PM during the week.

We had two margaritas and momma's meatballs. All subpar. Also, sitting at the bar near the server drink pick up is not a great place to sit. They all congregate here and talk SO LOUD! They are talking about personal stuff and cursing. Talking about their customers and tables. Extremely inappropriate. We won't be back.

I love the Local Peasant and this location specifically. The ambiance is super laid back but you are met with quality service. Their selection of items means even the pickiest eater can find something. Their salads are especially good and are a good size. Their selection of cocktails are also plentiful and delicious. Local Peasant is perfect for anything from a girls night to a family dinner.
