The Local

Delicious food everytime. There is a high standard at this establishment. The staff is friendly and very welcoming.

This place is truly a gem! I always have the best customer service (genuine and courteous). The food and wine is some of the best in town (and in Idaho!)

Fantastic and friendly staff. This is clearly a favorite for the locals. I loved the featured artwork on the walls, and the beet and arugula salad was delicious. I will definitely stop by again if I'm back out this way.

Coming from out of town, had to try a place called The Local. Very friendly welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend the food. Had the blue cheese and beet salad which came in a generous portion. Street tacos we’re great also. Definitely will return!

Some of the best food in boise. Fish tacos, BLT, and cheeseburger sliders are so good!

Worst service. My friend and I went on a Saturday night. The place want not full, not even half the tables were filled and there were 3 servers. We sat down at a table and had to move to the bar so they would acknowledge us. We had to ask for some menus. We had to grab their attention to see if they could take our order. The one waitress handed us off to someone else. The food was ok. It took forever for us to get the check. There were 3 couples who came after us. They Had better service and were in out before we had gotten our check. The servers refused to make eye contact. I won’t be returning.

Nice charming bistro like feel. Had some small plates and they were so-so. Staff was working hard and the place is inviting. Would return for sure.

My friend and I were going to meet at the Gyro Shack, but decided to try the Local. The server was really friendly and helpful. We ordered the soup, salad, half sandwich lunch. It took a really long time for the food to come out, and the waitress spilled the hot soup on my lap. That being said, the food was worth the wait. It was delicious. And they kindly did not charge me for my lunch.

INCREDIBLE! Among the best Garden City and Boise have to offer, The Local is a must-visit. Friendly & knowledgeable staff, amazing food, a constantly rotating collection of the best local beer/wine, charming atmosphere featuring a comfortable patio and showcasing really cool local art. New ownership has really made this place shine!!

I like the vibe, it almost has a coffee shop/wine bar type of feel, lots of Windows and natural lighting. Didn't partake of the beer/wine menu, though it looked pretty extensive (and very local, hence the name). But the nachos alone were worth the five stars: huge platter of nachos with fresh toppings, one of the best I've ordered in the last couple of years (seems like a lot of places are thinking down on their portions, but not The Local). Also, the staff are very friendly and engaging, which I also appreciate and sometimes find lacking in other restaurants.
