    Our friends eating a starter salad.
    Carol H.

    Stopped in this popular local bar while staying in Grayland beach rental. Some friends stopped by so we went here seeing on Yelp they had several great options. We ordered the breasted fried chicken and steamed clams plus fries and clam chowder. Everything was tasty. The clams were good but for $22 they were really tiny and didn't seem like a pound but enjoyed. Fries are krinkle cut, not our favorite but ok, clam chowder good but potato's needed smaller cut and prefer creamier but good flavor. The chicken was the hit, crispy skin juicy tender meat. I could have had another thigh, sooo good. Service friendly, it was a Tuesday evening so it got really busy for Bingo that starts at 6:30.

    Been here quite a few times - always spend time at the Local when I visit Grayland. Everyone is friendly and the food is good. Stopped in recently and saw they have all new comfy chairs, barstools, and carpet which looks really nice. We had the oyster burger with macaroni salad that was excellent and I had the local shrimp salad which was wonderful.

    Unpretentious place with solid eats and great drink selection. Staff are super friendly and slightly surly in a fun way if that's possible. I always look forward to a stop here when camping or out for a clam dig.

    Taco salad

    We were staying at Grayland Beach State Park and visited the Local Bar & Grill twice. Our server the second time, Madison, was so kind. She helped me learn how to play the Punchboard games they have for food prizes, answered all my questions. Also the food here is amazing. The first night we had chicken gizzards and a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. The second visit a taco salad and their "Local Burger". It was all perfectly cooked. Ate all of it and completely forgot to take pics the first night, but I remembered the second night. Good local beers on tap. Small community feel. Definitely recommend.

    Triple Local Burger Challenge

    Great food, great prices, great service, a whole lot of fun! My in-laws have a cabin in Grayland and this is their favorite spot, especially because of the pull tabs. The food never disappoints and it's always great fun. I attempted the burger challenge and failed (see the remains vs the start). But I will triumph eventually.

    We enjoyed our lunch here. Friendly servers, good food, good prices. Classic dive bar comfortable and clean.

    Relaxed & simple. Bingo night draws a big crowd. As you might expect, their potato salad is really good.

We requested a table move and actually moved ourselves. The strawberry lemonade was good. The food - problems: the Shrimp "scampi" was fettuccine and the sauce broken. A gluten glob at best laying in a puddle of oil. The Muscles marinera was over sauced and should (in our opinion) have come with bread of some kind. The Rib Eye (ordered medium rare) was anorexic in cut and prepared medium/well. The better part of service was Amy. Our server was pleasant and communicated well. Our appetizer was calamari and unevenly prepared. It arrived with the meal and came only once we reminded it hadn't began our dining experience. The meal took 1 hour 10 minutes to be served in total. For what it cost, it may have been better spent elsewhere. 3 stars is a stretch. 2 star meal bonus point added for service.

Sadly, they had no chardonnay for me, just pinot grigio which I ordered 'cause hubby really wanted a beer by now. The bartender was nice and apologetic that she didn't have my preferred wine. I have to also mention that we were here off-season, so perhaps things are different in-season. What I don't understand is why don't these restaurants just buy a box of decent chardonnay (NOT an oxymoron) and keep it in the fridge for when someone orders it. I mean, a box stays fresh for 30 days or more, so it's not a big deal to just have that on hand when some high-maintenance Chardonnay drinker like me shows up unexpectedly! (Ha...I'm not high-maintenance) The location was pretty cool, overlooking the marina, so that was a plus. But, if they don't have your drink...well, sometimes you just can't recover from that.

Walked and waited in line to order our food since there were 3 others in front of us. Anyhow, when it was our turn, placed an order for the Lingcod Fish & Chips, Rockfish Fish and Chips, a Small and Medium Clam Chowder, and an order of the Crab Melt on Sourdough. For our drinks, simply got 3 Soda pops. At first we waited at a table outside. But after a few minutes, we decided to walk upstairs and get a table up there instead since it was a bit chilly and very windy outdoors. We had to wait about 15 minutes since there were a lot of people to get our food. Food ratings- Clam Chowder - 5/5: Great! Very tasty!! Crab Melt - 3/5: No flavor! Very bland. Tasted like there was no salt, pepper, etc. Fish and Chips - Fish - 2/5: Bland, no salt or seasoning, Fries - 5/5: Crispy and well fried Overall, besides the Clam Chowder and Fried, the rest of the entrees were extremely bland! Not sure if they simply forgot to put salt and pepper or some seasoning, but they were definitely missing something!! Couldn't really taste much. Portions were good, though.

The mushrooms and sauce on that toast is one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. We loved the arugula salad. Beautifully presented and the flavors shined - pine nuts, parm and truffle. The sorghum salad was both a surprise and comforting. Such an interesting salad! Everyone loved their entrees. I had the fried chicken. Some of the best I've had. (Note: you can request their spicy sauce on the side, and it's worth it. Doesn't hide the chicken flavor but enhances.) But IT almost overshadowed by the biscuit. I'm going to dream about that crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside biscuit. Loved the mashed potatoes with pan gravy and collards as well. Others had shrimp and grits, pork chop, and rock fish. Everyone raved. Frankly, I don't think you can go wrong here. A memorable meal that I'd be happy to enjoy weekly.

They donated a $25 gift certificate as a prize! There are a lot of things here to really like with a few cringeworthy parts, too. Near as I can tell, this was opened late in 2023 so it seems they're still getting their feet under them. The building and finished space is done quite nicely though there seems to be a bit of an identity crisis. Is it farmhouse? Roadhouse? Bistro? The decor and music choice is kind of all over the place. Three things that bothered us... the fast food drink machine and ice dispenser. Looks terrible and the sound of the ice machine rattled throughout the dining room our entire visit. Do us all a favor and just use an ice well. While I'm speaking of noises, PLEASE change the battery of that smoke detector in the bathroom hall. Shouldn't even have to say that. Finally, the bathrooms need to be clearly marked. They're off in a corner and I heard virtually every guest ask where they were. Just put up a sign. Now that my gripes are off the table on to the rest. Our server was quite pleasant. Despite our obvious newness and my joviality, she got us through our order and took good care of us. Order was entered properly and came out properly. The food itself was absolutely top notch. Rib steak was perfectly medium rare and the mashed Yukon gold potatoes were amazing. My wife had the seafood pasta that she really loved. They held the oysters for her but it still was more good than she could eat. Shrimp and scallops were super tender and the clams and crab rounded out the dish. Sauce was light and creamy with just a hint of garlic. Prices are higher than diner fare but the quality and value is there to make it worthwhile. Definitely a place to come back to, just so long as they tweak the things that need tweaking.
