Bay Local Eatery

Very chic as soon,as you walk in the door. Nice, clean and modern decor. Got seated right away, and service was spot on. I ordered the "Light Tower" omelet. I am a dipper so I opt to have the hollandaise sauce on the side. Plus I really like to taste my food. It normally comes with fries or tots, but since I have soy allergies they we're kind enough to change it up for grits, and English muffin. I couldn't go without my bacon. LolHonestly, they we're truly kind to do this for me!The experience, food and hospitality will have me coming back for sure! And definitely and as one of my favorite place!

I've been a fan of Bay Local since the opening of their first location on Shore Drive. Today they have three locations with there newest on General Booth that I dined at today for lunch. Parking is challenging nearby when busy. However there are plenty of overflow behind them. The lot and walk up was tidy. My wife and I were greeted by a hostess and provided menus. Our waitress rolled up to our interior table with water and a reserve bottle. The atmosphere is open with lots of nautical items. The owner Adrian is a huge outdoorsman. His wife Whitney is the fabulous decorator of all three locations.The interior is divided up into three sections. All seating is table and chairs. The main bar is up front with restrooms. There is a small bar in the rear in operation on weekends. The exterior areas is where they really shine. The front has major seating space. The back has a nice area with a small bar operating on weekends when busy enough, which is often. There is also corn hole and other fun games. Orders were taken and my wife got a burger with side of their famous tots dusted with Parmesan. I got the ten Parmesan wings app which is large enough for lunch size. Our waitress was friendly and smiled. The main issue with indoor seating is the noise. With around 50% capacity occupied it was almost unbearable. So do consider outdoors if noise bothers you. Our food hit the table by a runner in around 15 minutes. Everything looked great, but they forgot my request for additional napkins request when I ordered. The wings are a wee bit messy. My wife enjoyed her burger and tots. The burger was cooked to her specifications. My wings were phenomenal with two blue cheese tubs. A side of carrots and celery is included. Checkout was timely on a hand held machine. They do an automatic 18% tip with customers having the ability to add an additional 3,5,7% or leave as is. Prior to departing I utilized the men's room which was tidy. I would recommend and return.

Good food with huge servings!Come here with an appetite because this spot is sure to give you a large serving. French toast was actual French bread and was tasty.We stopped by on a Friday for brunch and there was about a 30 min wait. They have some outdoor seating but it can get a little toasty.Overall: this spot was yummy but crowded. I would consider revisiting in the off season!

Some friends invited us for brunch at this location and we have never ate at a Bay Local Eatery before but they gave glowing recommendations so we were excited to try it out. The atmosphere was lively and full to the max. I'm not much of a drinker but when I saw they had Breakfast Shots, I just had to try. I got the Fruit Loop, Cookies & Milk, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch (not all at the same time of course) all tasty. For the main entree I got the Fried Chicken Bennie, absolutely delicious! Would definitely go back again.

What a beautiful restaurant. My first time here but definitely not my last. The restaurant is currently decorated for Christmas and over 90% of the decor I would've picked for my own home. Having said that, I think they have impeccable taste. We were greeted immediately upon entering the restaurant and even though there were plenty of patrons, we were seated on the spot. I was not prepared for the yumminess that we all enjoyed (party of 4). My daughter and I started with mimosas (strawberry and pomegranate) and they were both delicious but I preferred the pomegranate one. Can't wait to try some of the other flavors. My daughter ordered the avocado toast, I ordered their candied pecan French toast bites platter with a side of Parmesan tater tots. The amount of bites that came on that platter is intimidating. Three of us picked at it the whole time we were there and I still had enough leftover for an average portion. My husband ordered the crab cake bennie and my son-in-law got the po-boy. Everything was crazy delicious. If you are looking for a great spot for a get together that offers amazing food, this is the place. The vibe is so mellow and easy going yet a bit more upscale than your average hangout.

Looks like I have a new favorite dish at Bay Local. I ordered the Lobster Benny (eggs benedict) and it was the most delicious meal I've had at Bay Local! I usually get the crab cake benny, but this one takes the cake! It comes with 2 small lobster rolls filled with buttery garlicky goodness and topped with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce and fresh dill. My side was parmesean tots and it paired so well! My dish was only about $23 which I think is wonderful, given how much lobster rolls usually are. The lobster benny is unfortunately a special so I'm not sure how much longer it'll be on the menu. We also got a hazelnut latte which was really good and balanced (I like my coffees sweet but not TOO sweet). My friends got chicken and waffles and blueberry pancakes and loved their dishes as well.Our server Natalie was amazing and checked on us often. She was very accommodating to our large group size. There were plenty of other servers that assisted our table as well in regard to refills or taking up used/dirty plates.We went to the location on general booth and this was my first time going back since the summer and it was still pretty packed and busy (on a Saturday morning)! The restaurant, food and service is always great. It's one of my favorite places for brunch and it never disappoints :)

I love the layout and decor at the new Bay Local Eatery location. The food was mediocre in comparison to the price. We had a few strict diets in our group so there was a request to alter certain items on the menu. This request is done graciously but with an a la carte charge. I ordered the Sammie which l was thrilled to eat but was unable to finish it. About halfway through the sandwich I bit into a piece of wax paper that is used to divide cheese in packaging. I had trust issues with the remainder of my bites thinking l was biting something else that was not edible. It was a fair visit as l am a fan of other locations but this time around l was not impressed with the served food.

I've been to this Bay Local twice, and first time was for to-go, the second was dine in. (Disclaimer: They don't do to-go when they're busy so don't get surprised if they refuse.) The to-go experience was good. I ordered the Jamaican Rum French toast and the Breakfast Burrito for my bf. I've had the Jamaican Rum French Toast from the other location and the one I got here was just as good, but they forgot to put the fruit cup in my box. The Breakfast Burrito was super value because of the size. The ingredients were fresh too. However, the chips that came with it were too hard. The dine-in experience was meh. The service was good but the fried food was too spicy. I ordered the special: Soft-Shell Crab Bennie with parmesan tater tots, and my bf ordered the Bay Local Bennie. The batter for their fried items (Soft-Shell Crab from my bennie and Oysters from my bf's ) were too spicy and salty. My bf couldn't eat his oysters cuz he can't eat spicy at all. Although I'm okay with spiciness, I probably would order something else if I know it was spicy cuz it was 7am and I wanted something with lighter spice.The tater tots had no parmesan cheese but at least it was hot and crunchy. The Soft-Shell crab itself was fresh, just didn't like the batter.Overall my experience was mid, I'll probably come back for the French toast but probably not the other stuff.

Still one of our favorite brunch places! Today we both enjoyed Soft shell crab Benedict, a delicious treat. Accompanied by choice of home fries, cheesy grits or potato tots. Classic meal, served promptly. Waitress friendly and attentive, definitely recommend!Note: 18% gratuity automatically added to bill; waitress did inform us in advance. Not a big fan of mandatory "Tips" but I can live with it. Personally I'd rather see wages be appropriate for servers and do away with tipping.

The service was not as good this time. It was pretty busy. There was a delay in getting our order. My hubby's food was a bit cold. Otherwise , it was a pleasant visit. We were seated immediately. The staff was pleasant and the food that was still warm was delicious. The cocktails were delicious per usual. If you come during a busy time, be sure to stop a server to check on your food if it takes a bit long.It's an automatic 18% gratuity which is a problem when their is not one waiter taking care of you. They perform by committee. The manager did remove the charge from my husband's meal so I'm happy they took care of the cold food.
