We stopped in on an early Monday evening, and there were just a few other customers. The space is on the smaller side, and our server was friendly enough. We each ordered a draft beer (nice perk with $2 off during happy hour), along with the classic double smash, plus a side of fries and onion rings. The burger was quite greasy, but otherwise enjoyable. It had good flavor and nice crispy edges, though I wish there was more of the house burger sauce, I could barely taste it, and that's usually what gives a burger its signature. The fries and onion rings were both excellent, fried to a perfect crisp. Overall, I'd come back and try more items on the menu. read more

This place has a pretty good burger. Granted, it's a smash burger, but it's still very filling. The OG Stacked has melted cheese, 2 smashed patties stacked on a bun with lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles. It had simple yet perfect seasoning, a little grease in the paper it came in. It was like the burger from The Menu, in the best way possible. Didn't try their fries yet, but hopefully they pair well with their excellent burger. read more

Cuisine: 9 Service: 8 Decor: 7 Value: 9 Overall: 9 Just a really solid local bar to enjoy some good food while watching a game. When they first remodeled from a specialty sandwich shop to a craft beer pub, I was quite disappointed. Now I can't get my favorite chopped cheese or sriracha egg sandwich in the neighborhood anymore. However, I come to realize that having a dependable spot for an excellent burger is a pretty nice too. They do a great classic smash burger with a crispy crust and juicy beef. The toppings are always fresh and the bread is extremely fluffy. While the brioche bun is delicious, I may have a slight preference for the sesame seed bun of the Stack Mac. You really can't go wrong with any of their burger offerings. Obviously, a pub needs some tasty fried foods to go with their nice selection of craft beers. Thankfully, they do. The tater tots and onion rings are both really fantastic. Only thing currently still needs a bit of work is their chicken wings. Not bad for roasted wings, but I wish they were fried. During playoff season, I have come watched games while enjoying their offerings. It's never too busy, which makes it perfect for me. This little craft bar is definitely a hidden gem and I'm happy by me. read more

The most annoying thing is the children. The environment is not appropriate for young children but parents still bring them.. Most of the time they are wiling.. No supervision from said parents... Thursday nights are fun because it's Vinyl night. They have a small menu of burgers, wraps,and snacks.... I usually just have the veggie burger, and I quite enjoy it.... The service is very friendly .... I wish they would bring in more double hazy IPAS. They are available in cans, Lots of selection by can and bottle Including non alcoholic beer by athletic. read more

Great variety of beer in the fridge and on tap. Local brews along with domestic and international. loved the variety of Finback beer as the brewery is in the area. It's a beer hall first of all and some nice simple meal items. Go for the smash burger and tots are the standouts. Juicy and well made. read more

This place went from one of my favorite local spots to a place I won't be back to. Tried to order the chicken caesar salad I've had from this place that I have enjoyed so many times only to learn that they've updated their menu and seemingly have truly become a bar-food only venue. Nothing on the menu is that appealing to me anymore unless you're looking for a burger/beer-friendly greasy food. But I still went to check out the beer selection, which also seems to have gone downhill a bit. The beers have always been ~$8-10/beer, which was fine when the vibe was friendlier. However, the cashier tonight could not have cared less that I was there. I think she acknowledged me once for the sake of ringing up the beers I had selected but the rest of the interaction was done between me and the iPad while she joked along with her friend. Really disappointed that the service and menu of this place has deteriorated. read more

Stopped by here twice within a week, because we enjoyed it so much the first time. It's a great space to come and have a beer and some food in a relaxed setting. On a weekday, for lunch, it was empty and on a Sunday late afternoon there were a few tables taken. They specialize in craft beer and there are lots of options. Draft beer available are located on the TV screed across from the refrigerators. The refrigerators are filled with tons of options by the can which you can enjoy there or buy to take home. Both the Nitro Stout and the Czech Style Dark Stout were great You can order at the counter, take a seat and everything will be brought to you along with a bottle of water. The food is quite good. The crispy chicken sandwich was piled high with crispy chicken. The Cheesy Bacon Tots, were so delicious, melty cheese, crispy tots and bacon with cherry peppers and garlic aioli..they totally hit the spot. The Chopped Cheese was good and enjoyable albeit a bit messy. The wings were meaty and had great flavor, but could have been crispier. The fries are excellent. Give me a beer and some of those fries and I'd be very happy. It's a great neighborhood place, that I wish I had visited sooner. read more

The Local Mkt got an upgrade in a major way and I'm so here for it!!! Now instead of a deli it's a full on eatery. I used to always get my chopped cheese sandwiches from here but now I go for the wings. They still have a large collection of beers but the menu has changed up a bit. They have wine on tap too. I highly recommend the mushroom truffle burger it's so cheesy and I'm just a fan of both items. Now if you are not a fan of either of those things , try another cheese burger or get into the wings!!! The lemon pepper wings here were the best I've had. They have weekly specials and are closed on Mondays. Definitely come out , watch a game, play some games (they have cards and board games available), grab a beer (or 3) and enjoy this chill Queens spot! Shout out to the team that works here! They work hard to get everyone their food out hot and quickly. read more

(Update: PLEASE GO BACK TO THE REGULAR SMASH BURGER. The burger I had yesterday with a Kaiser roll is not a smash burger. It's a bready nightmare that steals the flavor away. In fact there's nothing worse on a burger than that giant roll. Being told it's better does not make it better. lol. I ate the meat yesterday (good meat, but not smashed or crispy), but left the bread. PLEASE TELL ME YOU'll go back to the original. I want to go back!) I recently discovered local eatery and craft beer to my delight because it filled the gap that's missing in this neighborhood, a great smash burger. The rest of the food is actually quite good especially the dry rub wings. And they have a great selection of beer but need more soda choices. Like Coke Zero!! lol. Service is fast and friendly, and the place is relaxing! read more

Great local beer spot. Appreciate the outdoor seating they offer. Pretty good bar type food. One thing I do wish they'd change - offering small plates along with food, everything comes in those little plastic baskets which is fine but when sharing with a group it's tough to be eating out of the same trays. Other than that love them as a local option! Would be awesome if they added more seating for nicer weather read more

A great spot in the Forest Hills area! I was craving a burger and I saw this on yelp and came by! They have a variety of different beers on tap and in the fridge. They have a good amount of seating if you want to order some food, they have a variety of different kinds of food to order from wings, burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, salad and more! The staff is super friendly and helpful! They also have TVs so you can watch a game while drinking a cold beer ! I definitely will be returning to try the wings! read more

Was looking for a quick smash burger in the area and found this spot. Intimate and cozy, the place is dimly lit with good music playing. Service was top-notch. Since it's a small space, the server is also the cashier and bartender. But he did not disappoint and was keen to addressing all our needs. Food was good. Got the double classic with onion rings and truffle mushroom with fries. Double classic: 7.5/10 Truffle mushroom: 6.5/10 I was a bit dissapointed, felt that it could've been better Onion rings: 6/10 couldve been a better batter, and did not come with sauce ( i asked for chipotle mayo on the side) Overall would come here again, it's a good spot for a cheap burger and drinks. read more

I'd rate The Local four and a half stars Great beer shop with some American bar fare. They have five taps; all were local craft beers. They have a large beer fridge with tons of cans. I didn't go through the inventory thoroughly but it seemed like those also focused on local and regional crafts. I didn't try any food but it looked good. Looking forward to returning for some grub. read more

Came in while in town for a couple of days and loved it! The restaurant is small but clean and has a nice vibe to it. Simple, industrial feel is a good description. The service was good, although it's not table service - you have to go to the bar to order food. Having said what - it's not a big deal. The guy at the bar was very nice and he quickly offered tasters if the beers they have on draft. Once you order, they do bring the meal out to your table. I sat inside but they also had 2 outside tables. The burger I had was AWESOME!! I can eat and the double mushroom Swiss burger was all I could handle along with the fries (the fries were good, not great). They only have a limited draft selection. It was only 4 beers the day I came in, but they had 5 large fridges with a huge variety of cans of all styles from all over. It might be small, but in my opinion - they delivered big. If I'm back this way; I'll be back. read more

We initially wanted sandwiches from Stacked however they weren't delivering to our area because they were closing in 53 minutes. We're not far from them so I didn't understand why they couldn't complete the order. I had this place bookmarked and decided to order our sandwiches from here. This is an actual market that sells grocery items, serves breakfast all day, has a deli, and essential items for your everyday needs. The menu consists of fresh juices, fresh smoothies, all day breakfast sandwiches, all day breakfast burritos, omelet platters, griddle specialties, fries, fried raviolis, mozzarella sticks, totchos, tater tots, jalapeño poppers, hash browns, chicken fingers, wings, jumbo grilled cheese sandwiches, craft chicken sandwiches, craft signature sandwiches, wraps, Angus beef burgers, salads, pastries, candy, beverages and chips. My hunny had The Reuben on a hero and I had a Chopped Cheese on a hero with Beer Battered Onion Rings. We both loved our sandwiches. My chopped cheese would've been even better if it had sautéed onions on it sans the lettuce and tomatoes. Unfortunately, I could not make any changes via Uber Eats. The onion rings were bomb although they were a tad oily. read more

Disclaimer: This review is based off one visit. My family and i went here on a Friday night around 7:30. They were pretty busy. Every table was taken. I ordered a few different things to try. Lori ann - Delicious. Me personally i would prefer more salami over turkey, more dressing and more lettuce. But overall it was a good sandwich Cheeseburger - I didnt realize that when i ordered it, it was going to be two patties. I did not read the description. However this burger was delicious. And i'm not a burger person. So this means a lot. Cheesy bacon tots - Super yummy. Not to mention big portion. And they were not stingy with the toppings! Chicken fingers - i mean it's chicken fingers. But these aren't the small ones that are just batter. These were yummy. And they were not stingy with the honey mustard! Mozzarella sticks - Just your ordinary mozzarella. I would however prefer for the marinara sauce to be warmed up. The service was great too. I do have to note the food took longer then we expected. But it was well worth the wait. We will be back! read more

I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this place! I've been living in the area for three years now and I've been dying to find a new local eatery. I have to say that I'm so excited that I found this gem! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming when I walked in and the music was on point. I immediately knew that I would love it because of the vibe. Another plus was the wide range of craft beers that they had. I love craft beer so when I saw the beer selection I was sold! They feature beers from local breweries across the boroughs. You can order your food and pick any beer from the fridge while you wait for your food to come out. Now on to the best part of this place which is obviously the food. My fiancé and I shared a loaded bacon tots appetizer. It was a BIG portion size! You can definitely share it between 2-3 people. We also shared the Supremo sandwich and it was to die for. It was a loaded, stacked sandwich with the freshest cherry peppers. It had a perfect amount of spice and it tasted incredibly fresh. I cannot wait to come back and try every item on the menu. Thank you to the owners and the staff of this wonderful gem. read more

This is THE spot to get sandwiches. I adore this place. We tried their hot sandwiches when they first opened (pre-pandemic) before all the branding was done and we were sold. Chicken cutlet was delicious. Great portion size, meaty, flavorful and so satisfying. Literally wolfed it down on the street. Now that we are done hibernating as winter is over, we ventured out to grab some sandwiches again as their menu is super cute. Love the items named after local streets. Loubet street hero - loved the avocado in this. The sandwich was good. Chopped cheese - so, so, so good. Kids loved it. I loved it. Can't go wrong. Super filling and so worth it. Seasoning on the ground beef is yummy. Highly recommend. Cobb salad - the grilled chicken is delicious. Nice to see balsamic vinagrette on the menu. Wish it was a mixed green or romaine. Can be tough to mix in the container and a little challenging to eat if you prefer your salad ingredients tossed. Their strengths are their hot sandwiches. Overall, the sandwiches were good because of the fresh bread. Makes all the difference for a sandwich. One tip is to call in advance if you can. Will be less of a wait. 15-20 minutes for my three items. It was so good, so fresh, and great quality. To top it off, the service is fantastic. The woman at the counter was friendly and kind - something we all need in the world right now. Support our local small businesses; this place will definitely be one of our family's favorites. read more

Been to this spot a few times now and I have to say, they do the best sausage, egg, and cheese on a roll in the area. I did a comparison with a well-known bagel store, and Local Mkrt won. I love that they have bougie cold brew, however I wish they had large sized cups. That medium cup isn't cutting it for my iced caffeine fix. They have basic kitchen staples: sugar, flour, pasta, sauce, etc along with a wide variety of drinks, including a nice selection of organic, non-dairy health drinks. The menu is pretty large and they make quite a few sandwiches. Tried their Reuben last night. You can tell the quality of a place by the quality of the meat they use. There was no fat on the thinly-sliced corned beef whatsoever. It wound up soggy, but that was my fault for asking for extra sauce and saurcraut and then traveling with it. Next time, I'll see if they can do toppings on the side. The flavor was still there, though, and was very good. I'm gonna have to go back to try this chopped cheese thing. Lived in NYC my entire life and have never eaten this. 10/10 would recommend Local Mkrt. read more

This place is MONEYYYYYY!!! I ordered three different sandwiches, all of which were absolutely delicious. I would 100% order from and come here again, hoping to be a regular at this point. The first thing I got was the Made in Queens, cause of course I'm a Queens kid born and raised. I'm also a sucker for a chicken and prosciutto combo! This came with both, roasted red pepper, arugula, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Next up was a Chopped Cheese, sandwich of your dreams that satisfies all your taste buds! Classic NYC staple that is a definite must here. Also really wanted to try a breakfast sammy and ordered the Sir Racha. The brioche roll was honestly the softest roll I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Scrambled eggs, cheddar, grilled onions, and sriracha Mayo. It was *chef's kiss* Check out their Breakfast Platter options to cater your next event! read more

A lot of my coworkers love this place and I'm not quite there yet. Apparently they coffee is everything but I don't drink coffee. So I decided to try a bagel, well it taste like a Thomas bagel from the bag nothing special at all. Then I decided to try pancakes, that was a disaster, it was nasty. So I haven't return. My coworkers continue to come here for breakfast and rave about it. Maybe I haven't found anything to rave about yet but hopefully I will give them another shot and we shall see. read more

Love the burger but please add more stouts. There are so many to put on draft. It usually it is the same stout on draft.

I love stopping by in the morning to pick up breakfast! It's delicious and a great value. Omelette platter comes with home fries and choice of white or whole wheat toast with butter for $7.95! Eggs with your choice of cheese on a roll for $3.50! I usually get mozzarella with mine and the cheese is so ooey gooey and melted to perfection. They have a unique selection of snacks, drinks and staple grocery items if you are in a bind and cannot get to the grocery store. Their deli meats and cheese are great for making sandwiches at home. They also carry Rainbow bagels and my kids love them for having it. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place based on all of the stellar reviews. I stopped by early this morning (Saturday) for a breakfast sandwich. According to the menu, they offer a variety of choices of bread (roll, bagel, croissant, toast, wrap), so I decided on a BEC on a croissant. They seemed to be prepping a lot of online / phone orders, so it took close to 20 minutes for my sandwich to be ready. I walked home, opened up the bag, and found a delicious BEC...on a roll, not on the croissant that I asked for. I will definitely give this another chance, and maybe order in advance next time. And double check the bag before going home. read more

The place is small, but we I'll definitely go back. The wings are delicious (my favorite are the lemon pepper wings). We went with our two kids and we're able to enjoy the food and assortment of beers while we played some of the games they have available. It made me feel like less of a degenerate because we were able to have a fun family night. The service was also really great. Only downside for me as a mother, was the lack of changing table... the bathroom is tiny so I can see why they didn't have one. read more
