Quaint small bar. Jeff was our server and he was very personable. I had the Reuben and it was delicious! The Mac and cheese is amazing also. Definitely worth stopping. I even loved the music that was playing
Great service, yummy home made food. We will be back☆
Went in for the first time last night. The bartender Ally was very friendly and attentive. I had the 8oz tenderloin and mac and cheese. Both were delicious. I would probably go with the 6oz next time. My friend got the buffalo chicken mac and cheese. I will be having that next time. I will definitely be going back in the future. Beverages were cool and refreshing.
Good food and reasonable prices. Had ribs one time and 1/2 rack was all I could eat. Very good tenderloins and whatever you want to drink. Nice quiet eatery in the rear.
Friendly staff.
The food is actually worth 5 stars. Very good burger and fries. I rated it so low because I am type 1 diabetic and placed my order. I ordered a diet Coke with my meal. After I drank it and the waitress came back and asked if I wanted another Coke, I said sure, but it's Diet Coke. I thought it tasted strange, but I don't usually drink that much soda to really tell the difference. Anyway, she apologized and brought us our food and a glass of water. I had to eat my burger without a bun and had to send the fries back as my total carb limit for the meal was met with the regular Coke. Upon receiving the bill, I was still charged for the fries I didn't eat and the soda she messed up. Realizing her mistake, she jokingly asked "are you going to die"? No, but I will need to dial more insulin in from pump and check my sugar more frequently for the night. Again, honest mistake, but handled poorly. Food and atmosphere are definitely worth the trip back, will ask for a different server.
Fantastic food, low prices and great service. The Local Shoe (homemade tenderloin covered in cheese fries) was awesome. It was $10 and I had enough to bring home for another meal. Beer was cheap and they had a huge selection.
If you ever get the chance to eat at the Local on Bartonville Illinois don't pass it up. Food is delicious. Ask for Aunt Joyce you won't be disappointed. She was awesome. Made us feel like family and the service was awesome.
I usually enjoy coming to the Local. Good food. Cold beer. Decent prices. Tonight, service was ridiculous. Really slow. And kitchen was so slow, it took over 2 hours for food. I expected more, considering there was only 2 tables occupied in whole place.
