Best KPortal Reviews
Feb 2023: Nice atmosphere, good service, ample free parking, plenty of tables and bar space - not busy for a Monday night. Food was good. Convenient location for me so I'll dine here again.
Jan 2024: nice lunch with a friend. Favorite is the power salad with choice of protein. Repeat customers.
The service here was outstanding. Extremely quick and attentive.
We had the fried pickles (not pictured) and those were easily the best thing we ate at the Local.
Unfortunately the two mains (Baja fish tacos and street tacos) were both quite wet and soggy. The dirty rice that accompanied it was pretty bland as well (seemed like just rice and paprika?). I don’t think we’d order either again.
I think this probably a really good spot for drinks and appetizers, but I’m not sure I’d recommend the mains (at least the tacos).
Slower service but good food. Loved the short rib as it was very lean. The salmon also seasoned good!
The Local is a nice neighborhood restaurant. The food is fine, nothing remarkable but prepared well with good sized portions and nice presentation. There is something for everyone and it's a good place to meet up with others given it's central MetroWest location and large parking lot. Our server was great. The restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere. There isn't anything wrong with the Local but it gets 3 stars for being average. Average food, average drinks, nothing remarkable and no signature dishes or drinks that stood out. Fine for all ages and accessible.
Food was good, drinks were also good. Service was OK, except we were with a friend so we wanted to talk a bit, but waiter was in a rush and went by to our table at least 9 times in an hour asking if we wanted the check, and it wasn’t like they needed the table because restaurant was at 10% of their capacity. Would definitely go again and try more stuff. Gnocchi’s were AWESOME! Sangria was different, but good, and fig prosciutto pizzas was also good!
The fried pickles one of my favorite apps were super salty. I can normal devour this starter and these were hard to consume. My main entree was the French dip sandwich. The sandwich was tough dry and bland. I didn’t find any horseradish and cheddar as described on the menu. The dip was a heavy gravy rather than an beefy broth that is served with most French dips
We came in last night past our reservation for unforeseen circumstances. We were not questioned but seated with Grace and dignity. Two unhappy kids. Servers and cocktail staff catered to our immediate needs. We were in and out because that was our need for the night. Everyone at the Local was accommodating! Only complaint was clam chowder really didn’t have any clams but did have good flavor. Overall, thank you the Local for welcoming us and catering to our needs!! We’ll be back sans kids ☺️
First time eating here. It was nice and quiet at the time that we arrived not packed which is what I like when I dine in. Our waitress was very nice. I would eat here again. I try wings at any restaurant we eat at. They were very good here. I would also recommend the chips because the dip they come with is very good and was something different from other spaces we tried. I forgot to take pictures to post, but the food is good here. Kids had burgers and they're a generous size for kid meals. The steak tips were very good as well. I will say the haddock looked good but maybe with less of the crumble on top might be better. All in all I would eat here again and I recommend anyone to dine here.
