I opted for the Vicious which is a cheddar jalapeno biscuit, crispy chicken, maple sausage gravy, cowboy candy which is like sweet grilled jalapenos and syrup. Normally,my breakfasts are not so hearty but this was a delicious treat. I also opted for a loaded bloody mary which was solid. This is the kind of spot where you pay at the counter and they bring your food to your table. It's casual, service is friendly, and the dish was under $13. The spot has ample parking and is pretty spacious as well.

I am not such a big fan of southern food but this was freaking PHENOMENAL!! That's saying a lot coming from me! The people working there were so sweet and food came out so fast! My boyfriend and I shared the country fried steak with gravy (my first time having it), mashed potato's, and fried corn bites, and shared the fried catfish with fries and coleslaw. Every single item was the best southern food I have had!!! Will forever be recommending here and will definitely be a life long patron whenever I come to the mountains!

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!
