Best KPortal Reviews
The pesto had some love put into it. The softness, texture and the cream was perfect. Perfect noodles. Great med rare steak. All around wholesome meal. We will definitely be coming back!
Sometimes the best things are right near your own backyard.
I'm so lucky to have The Local, in Miramar, literally steps from my house. I'm also guilty of never having reviewed it here. We had a quick brunch on Sunday before heading out to explore some hiking trails.
We were seated promptly, had the delightful Haydn H as our server, and in no time yours truly had a delicious Bloody Mary (and the hubster a beer) because that's how we roll! I love my vodka cocktails!
Their bloody good bloody has a very simple garnish, so no appetizer type thing to consume with the drink, but the bloody mix is quite tasty. Not sure if it's house made, but I know a LOT of bloody mixes and I couldn't identify it (should ask next time). It was delicious and not weak at all.
It interesting to know their menu is MUCH bigger than the version you can view online, so I am posting pics at the end. I mean LOTS more things, and good ones.
I got crab cake Bennys and the hubster got the salmon, extra hoizen glaze, with fried rice that's actually quinoa.
Everything was super yummy! My eggs were poached a bit too long, and I never even brought it up, but our server spotted it while checking on us and offered to have them remade. We were pit stopping and I really didn't mind, just requested extra hollandaise, but they took $5 off the check without me even complaining! Who does that? That is a real dedication to quality!
Also, the crab cakes have SO MUCH CRAB, and hardly any filler! That's also amazing!
The hubter inhaled his salmon, he gets it often and is really obsessed with it.
Great little place, that now has a full bar when they didn't used to, in case you didn't know that.
More menus and info in the last pics like live music on Wednesday and happy hour daily specials. It's such a reasonable priced place to go with great service and good food with lots of options.
Try it, you'll love it!
Pretty excellent experience. Service was friendly and fast; my server was constantly accommodating and looking for ways to make my visit better.
I started with the Green Goddess Hummus. It came with too few of the baguette slices, but my server let me know I could get more upon request. It also came with roasted (then chilled?) carrots, which were an interesting touch, but the baguette was twice as good. I saved the rest of the hummus to finish with my fries.
Those fries came with the Hendrick Burger, which was cooked to a perfect medium. The flavors were huge, though there was a bit too much of the goat cheese for my liking. The fries were a bit heavy as well, which kept me from finishing them, but very tasty. Overall the food was worth the price and I only hope I find myself on this side of town to try more of the menu.
Really good food. Service a bit slow, but we were with friends and appreciated the extra time. Not too busy for dinner and has both indoor and outdoor seating options. Not pictured: side of sweet potato home fries, chocolate crème brûlée, and tiramisu, all of which were very yummy. The price for value is good. We will definitely be back.
Well, butter my biscuit and call me a Tiger fan, because I'm about to serve up a sizzling review of The Local in Jacksonville, Fla, that's hotter than a Clemson tailgate in July!
Now, I'm just your average Joe, a dad who loves a good dad joke almost as much as I love watching Dabo Swinney lead the Clemson Tigers to victory. So, when I heard about The Local, I thought, "Why not give it a try? It's gotta be better than trying to understand cryptocurrency, right?"
Let me tell you, folks, The Local is the real deal, just like a Dabo Swinney halftime speech. It's got charm, it's got flavor, and it's got more local spirit than a high school pep rally. The atmosphere? Cozier than a pair of socks on a cold winter's night. And the staff? Friendlier than your neighbor lending you his lawnmower.
Now, onto the grub! The menu's got more variety than my dad jokes repertoire. I'm talking roasted salmon sandwiches that'll make you swim upstream for more, and a 'get chopped' salad that's fresher than my latest pair of sneakers. And the turkey sandwich on wheat? Let's just say it's the MVP of sandwiches, no fowl play there!
But wait, there's more! The appetizers are like the opening act to a rock concert – you don't want to miss 'em. Sure, there might've been a mix-up here and there, but hey, nobody's perfect, except maybe Dabo on game day. And those burgers? They're like a Hail Mary pass – sometimes they miss the mark, but when they connect, it's a touchdown!
Now, I've gotta mention the Hendrick burger. It's like the quarterback of burgers – sometimes it's the star player, and other times, it's just part of the team. But either way, it's playing the game and doing its best, just like my Tigers on the field.
In conclusion, The Local is a place where you can kick back, relax, and enjoy some good eats. It's a spot where everyone's a local, even if you're just passing through. And if you're a fan of Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers, well, you'll feel right at home.
So, if you find yourself in Jacksonville, Fla, looking for a place that's got more character than a dad joke about a steak (it's rare), head on over to The Local. It's a place where the food's as satisfying as a Clemson win, and the laughs are as plentiful as my dad jokes. And remember, folks, you don't have to be a local to eat like one!
Go Tigers, and go The Local! ????????

Had a delicious dinner experience recently. The server was super attentive and the food was perfect. Love the local variety of beers on tap.
Met some childhood friends because they live down the street from this restaurant and it was convenient. Our server wasn’t overly friendly and seemed bothered by anything we asked. I know it’s a hard job because I was in the service industry when I was younger but it requires patience and kindness. It was uncomfortable asking her for anything because she was really impatient, short and in a rush the whole time. It wasn’t that busy for Sunday Brunch. It was our first time here and she was bothered and impatient when anyone asked her about menu items or drinks. She was really nice towards the end when the check came. Who knows, maybe she was having a bad day. The food was good but the Bloody Marys had an odd, icy texture, almost like a slushie. I didn’t care for it and have had better. I consider myself a Bloody Mary connoisseur and I thought it had way too much Woistershire sauce in it. The color was odd as well. It’s a cute restaurant with great menu options.
Tonight it was our first time here, we needed so much help deciding and Mari, our wonderful server out on the patio, was a huge help. She made a small change to the drink I ordered that really rounded it out, offered up the specials and menu favorites, and generally helped guide us as newcomers. The foliage on the patio is beautiful, however I am a mosquito magnet, and when I asked if we could move to the center area of the patio, Mari was happy to comply. The drink and food selections were great, including the amazing blueberry bread pudding we had for dessert. I ate faster than my phone could take pictures, but I’ll be sure to grab some next time! Staff inside was very friendly and welcoming too, it really seemed they all enjoyed working together and being present. We’ll be back for brunch! (And seriously give Mari a raise or promotion, she was so knowledgeable)
