The Local Restaurant

All around great experience. The server was really good and knew the menu well. The food had flavor in every bit. It's really cool to see a restaurant choosing local sourced food and pairing it so well together. I also love the creativeness of the dishes. We will be coming back for sure.

The Local is located on the south side of the Bed Bath and Beyond plaza on the corner of Pine Ridge and Airport Pulling Road. The parking can be a little tight on that side of the plaza, but there is plenty of parking on the east side of the building. There is outdoor seating and plenty of seating inside this restaurant, which is a good thing for locals because we're often working and not in vacation mode. The ambiance is modern but rustic with booths along the sides, tables in the middle and a wine (and beer) bar across the back. There are chalkboard signs displaying the specials. The service on my visit with great - very friendly and knowledgeable staff. All the food came out quickly and was prepared as ordered. The food is locally sourced and fresh - everything we had was very good. My only complaint is that they do not change the temperature of the burger - it comes one way, even when I asked if it could be done on the rare side, it still came out well done - but I was warned. This is a great lunch spot for local professionals.

Had a delicious lunch today! I had the watermelon salad with spicy honey on the side and the red lentil soup. My husband had the Turkey sandwich with tomato jam on a soft roll with a side salad. Everything was superb!!
Next time May try the fish tacos! We will be back!!

Excellent local sourced restaurant with fresh ideas and clean food.

A must try if you are looking for a different experience.

Most items are either house made, local, farm to table, organic.

I have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed.

Service is great and the price is fair.

Kid and everything friendly.

I stopped into The Local Restaurant while I was in town for work. Instead of having a traditional entree, I choose to graze the menu. I started with the Olive Appetizer. It was filled with a large array of olives! For my “main” dish, I had their Roasted Brussels Sprouts and The Local Au Gratin Hash. Which I 10/10 recommend. And to finish it all off, I had the Gluten Free Chocolate Cake paired with a glass of Pinot Noir.

The team was very pleasant and the atmosphere was on point. I’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic place! Great menu and service! Really enjoyed the outdoor patio! We tried the brisket pizza on a flatbread! My daughter had the gnocchi and her boyfriend another delicious dish! Everything was so good!!!

Outstanding Food - Highly Recommended.

We ate at The Local Restaurant for the first time today and it was an all around fantastic experience. Service was great, excellent local draft beer selections and an extensive wine list. The food was the absolute highlight though with every dish tasting wonderful. We shared the Ahi Tuna (bright, fresh, well balanced with some heat) and the house made ricotta caprese (fantastic, fresh, very tasty tomatoes) appetizers. Our main courses were the mushrooms risotto (flavor packed and full of mushrooms) and the braise lamb stroganoff (very rich meat sauce, wonderful fresh pasta with bread crumbs adding great texture and flavor). Excellent food we would go right back and eat again tomorrow. 5 stars!

This restaurant is great. My only complaint is they do not have a location back home in Georgia. The food, service and atmosphere make for a great dinner experience.

Special thanks to our waiter, Kyle who did a fantastic job with our large group.

Came for lunch and really enjoyed it. The lunch menu is different from the dinner menu and both have amazing things on it. We started with the vegan bruschetta which had almond cheese and was delicious. We tried the so icy fried chicken special sandwich which was excellent and the vegan Korean tacos, which were good but I preferred the chicken. We swapped the side salad for the spicy watermelon salad which was excellent. The staff is also super friendly and there is some outdoor seating available too. Will definitely be back.

Delicious! I’ve been wanting to check out The Local for some time and I’m really glad I finally did. I ordered the breakfast hash and added eggs! The flavors were amazing, the food was hot, and the service was great—even though the place was packed. Definitely grab a bite to eat in this cozy environment! You won’t regret it :)
