The Local

One of my favorite places for mimosas and chickens & waffles. Everyone is super friendly, it’s clean and food is delicious.

Clean restaurant and our server was nice and timely.

My husband and I were the first ones there Monday morning so our expectation was high for the food. However, we were sadly disappointed.
Our food just wasn’t fresh. We tried the chicken and waffles.
The chicken was either old , over cooked or from the day before. It was rubbery in texture and gave more of a chicken patty taste than a chicken filet.
The waffles were cold like it was made 2 hours before opening. Being the first one inside the establishment we were def expecting fresh food. But it was everything but that.
However, the establishment was nice.

I have had several good meals from The Local, so I’ve ordered from them via Uber Eats several times recently. My lunch meals have always been great, but every, single one of my dinner orders have been an absolute disaster. Different chef/staff?? I ordered a burger and paid extra for cheese, bacon, etc, and they delivered me a plain burger, over cooked, on a plain bun. No toppings, no sauce, nothing on the side. I hadn’t eaten all day, so I sucked it up, but was hoping this was a fluke. Ordered the same thing again - I got the bacon this time and pickles, but no cheese, no sauce, etc. Last night, I ordered a chicken dish, and the chicken was still pink. I was too afraid to eat pink chicken (obviously), so again, I requested a refund and did not have anything for dinner. On the positive, I have the motivation to prep a bunch of meals today and will save a ton of money doing so. On the negative, ordering delivery from here is a definitive no, unless it’s a lunchtime meal with a chef who actually knows how to cook and serve food. Would love for them to address this, but so far, they have not.

The food is always delicious and fantastic as well as the service. Whenever you walk in you are greeted by a hostess that follows you to your table even when they're busy. Our server was also wonderful. Their fish and chips for dinner item is fantastic. We usually get to go but this evening in particular we have family in town and all went to dine-in. Had a wonderful experience

Great location, nice service, food is very solid.

Great texture on burgers and fries, maybe just a tad bit more flavor but being nit picky.

Nice outside dining as well as bar area inside

2nd visit and both times the food has been amazing. Great customer service and quality.

Had a great lunch with my boyfriend here on the outside patio which was a perfect quiet little get away. Loved the vibe and the food. Everything was modern and refreshing will definitely be coming back for more!

The first time going here and it was packed. I feel like the menu was a bit small, but everything our party ordered was delicious! The atmosphere is very cozy and intimate and the staff was all very helpful with any needs we had. Would definitely go again.

If your looking for a casual, trendy, locally owned restaurant, this is a great place to try. Normally we go for breakfast or lunch, but this time we went for dinner.

They have a nice patio area in the back for nice outdoor seating that can handle large groups.

The menu has a wide variety of food without being overwhelming.

Our wait staff was great and the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean.

Seriously one of my favorite places in all of Jacksonville. Great friendly service, good food that rotates frequently on their specials menu. Live music on Wednesdays, and the best prices for a simple dinner out :)
