    Randall's Chili Cheese Omelette
    Santanu S.

    Dining solo, I was already considering sitting at the very empty counter when the host made sure to point out the counter table. As soon as I sat, I was given my utensils and pointed to the menu. There was a small wait for someone to ask for my coffee order. That allowed me to browse the menu. I was caught off guard as some combo items were over $17. The warning about undercooked eggs for all the omelette entrees surprised me. Omelettes are never purposely undercooked. I chose the Randall's Chili Cheese Omelette with the country potatoes and sourdough toast. I forgot the last time I had a chili dog or chili cheeseburger. Although it was served with the omelet, the salsa was not needed and would have overpowered the chili flavor. The spices on the potatoes made them irresistible. On any other day, I would have appreciated two slices of sourdough. After finishing half the potatoes, I barely finished one slice. Ordering an English muffin would have been a better choice.

    Loved it here! Called ahead of time to ask some allergy questions and they were SO helpful!! They double checked with the kitchen to make sure I could safely eat lunch -- which was dope!! The decor is so cool and retro! It's clean and spacious, which friendly people at the front! It's not often that diner-style places understand food allergies, so I was stoked! Everything was so good - exactly what I was craving! Also not expensive either! I'll definitely be back soon! UPDATE: Went back for breakfast the next day, was sooo yum! Simple but delicious! Once again, modified my meal (eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon w toast) to include GF toast. I'm going to miss having diner breakfast when I leave! Can't wait to come back!

    I have now been here several times and have become a fan. I love their omelettes; but the best I hung I have had was their June special of Taco Salad. It seemed like an unlikely place to find the best taco salad I have had, but it truly was. My service has always been great and down home friendly. It is always a pleasant experience here. I also love the 50's diner vibe that they have created here. It fits perfectly with other the location in Old Town!

    Simple items. Lots of breakfast fundamentals. Older time feel and friendly atmosphere. Gets busy on the weekends. No alcohol but great orange juice lemonade and shakes.

    Open faced Pot Roast Sandwich with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

    Tried this place for lunch last week. Good old diner vibe, and certainly looks the part. Ordered the open faced Pot Roast Sandwich, served with Mashed Potatoes, covered in Gravy. Generous portion, the beef had good flavor & texture. Will come back and try some other things. Service was very good and very friendly.

    We love Local Diner for breakfast. It really is such a special place in Old Town Coppell. We almost always order the Border Buster, Texan or No Meat under the Pan Full of Breakfast option. They are hash brown skillet type dishes that have all sorts of delicious hearty ingredients. Their omelets and home fries are excellent as well. The ambiance here is so cool and the service is impeccable with waitstaff who have stayed on for years and if they don't know you by name, they will at least know you by your order! Wonderful place for breakfast and very family friendly!

    Chicken fried chicken, white gravy on the side, broccoli, and home fried potatoes! Excellent!

    Came her for brunch to meet up with my kids and their girlfriends. There used to be two of these restaurants, however, they closed one down and kept this one. The service is always spot on! The food has always been cooked to my liking as well. The ambiance inside the dinner reminds me of how old time small city diners were run! Great service and sitting in a booth you feel at home. Your coffee cup is never empty! Pretty impressive. September 2023

    This diner is pretty much everything I could ask for in a diner. The interior has super cute diner vibes with cute booths and tables with curtains between them if you want a little more privacy. ;) There is also a bar you can sit at if you want as you walk in. The wait can be a little bit in the mornings on the weekend but otherwise there is not much of a wait. The food is good and comes out fairly quickly and the variety of options is just enough so you don't get overwhelmed. They have breakfast, lunch, diner, "blue plates", and even desserts. Service is nice and the staff always make you feel welcome and at home. I would definitely recommend this place if you want to try a local diner out with a cozy feel to it. The prices can seem a little high for a diner but the quality of the food is not "diner" quality and the portions are pretty good, too. Definitely recommend their pancakes. They are really big, fluffy, and have a really nice vanilla flavor!

    Once again I've eaten at the Local D and their customer service is once again outstanding. Never had any issue with parking or getting a table, even though they seemed busy. This time I ordered the steak and eggs. Very tasty. Then I ended my meal with a peach cobbler. I could have easily smashed 20 of those. Don't keep the peach cobbler away from me. I want it in my mouth. I will be back.

    Buffalo chicken melt was delicious

    Good food, great staff. They have GF bread options which are nice. 1950's dinner decor is a nice touch.

    Forgo the pancakes - they're as tough as leather and essentially flavorless.
