The Local

The overall atmosphere of The Local was very welcoming! My server was attentive and even walked me through a few popular items because it was my first time! I ended up choosing the Portabella Mushroom Sandwich and it was sooooo good! I already want to go back and get it again!

Ate half my sandwich before I took picture. Was too good not to leave a review. This was our first time going to The Local, and went for brunch. Our server was super nice and provided great service. The restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere. The food was so so so good. The whole family enjoyed our experience here. Will definitely be returning here again soon.

The service was great but we've never tried at busy hours.
Nice and friendly place.
The food is amazing. Great size, great price. The flavors are unique and in perfect harmony. Highly recommend

Popped in for lunch after arriving at JAX and heading to our hotel. Unassuming from the outside, we were well taken care of , food was great… Fast-neat atmosphere!

This is going to be a tale of two experiences. The atmosphere, service and people were all a 5. I was very impressed with the inside of the restaurant and what they had to offer. Wine, title and local draft beer. Very cozy ambiance. Excellent menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The choices are amazing. The wait staff is beyond friendly and personable.Presentation of the food is spectacular… here comes the disconnect for me. The zucchini fries looked fantastic. They were however a little large to. E fries, more like spears, and had little to no seasoning. They were cooked correctly, just went nowhere taste wise. The hot honey chicken bites… fresh, made to order, and fried just right. LOTS of white meat chunks. There was zero heat and just a hint of honey. I got the Smothered chicken bowl which was a spin on chicken ettouffee chicken was cooked perfect. The okra / tomato ettouffee was not ettouffee at all. I’m from New Orleans, I know ettouffee this was a relish. The dirty cauliflower rice. Was just cauliflower rice. There was nothing in it to make it dirty and agin. Zero seasoning. My wife got the Chimichurri steak. It was the best of the dishes and did have seasoning. All this rang in at just shy of $70 with no alcohol, so it’s a little pricey. I really wanted it to be as good as it looked but it wasn’t. I would try them for breakfast, but not again for dinner

Awesome place for breakfast/ brunch! We ordered 2 different plates, and both were fantastic in taste & presentation. Our server was prompt, super friendly, and got our orders correct. We were just passing thru Jax, but would def return to this restaurant!

I had the fried chicken salad and zucchini fries. Phenomenal. House made ranch was delicious. The server Janae was so sweet and attentive. The patio was nice and overall peaceful.

came in for memorial day because the food looked really great, and i do have to say the food was good, however my sister and I got the cereal milk lattes (again great) but when they were done, we watched 5-6 servers walk by our drinks and let them sit there for about 10 minutes, and even our server walked by them and didn't come back for them. I ended up walking over and picking them off the bar... The only other issue was my mom got the chicken plate and asked for ranch on the side for her salad, and the plate came out with balsamic vinaigrette on the salad, so we asked to get that fixed, which our server obliged.

not sure if it was because they had a limited crew today, especially on a holiday, but small things like that do make an impact. regardless, the food is good, the staff is nice for the most part, but just a higher attention to service would have made this review higher.

Checked out the lunch options at The Local on San Jose. Delicious sandwiches. They don't do full service at this location, at least for lunch. You order at the register and sit down with a number and they bring the food to you. Overall great lunch. Everything was warm and fresh and tasted great. Would go back. Also love the Neptune location

The food was amazing and the atmosphere was comfortable clean and relaxing
The chef actually came out to deliver our bread pudding to go
Would highly recommend
