We are new to the area and love this spot for a quick and delicious meal. We often get the tacos, cheeseburgers and falafel platter or sandwich. All are crowd pleasers! read more

Bookmarked Local Kitchens for a few years and decided to meet a friend there this evening. I got the Geisha's Kiss from Sushirrito and my friend got a salad from Proposition Chicken. I like that Sushirrito allows you to remove ingredients, which in my case were the cucumbers. However, they put in WAY too much lettuce! I like lettuce just fine but if I'm paying $18, I want - and should get - more ahi. While I love the concept, Sushirrito is just not the same caliber as Oke Poke's pokerritos. My friend seemed to like her salad and the portion was generous. Ordering on the screen was easy. My order didn't take too long. The parking lot is small but I was able to find a spot. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available; we sat inside. I wish Local Kitchens still had items from Señor Sisig, The Melt, Curry Up Now, and Humphry Slocombe. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back but if I were in the area and someone wanted to go, I wouldn't be opposed. I'd try one of the falafel or Mexican dishes next time. read more

What a cool concept! We wanted a late night meal so my nephew suggested this spot after one of his friends told him about it. They're open pretty late. I think Thursdays they're open till midnight cuz it was about 11pm when we wandered in here. The space inside is a little on the smaller side, but that's okay. We took our food to go. You can order off a tablet and it's super easy. They have such cool selections. It's a few different local places I'm assuming and you can order some menu items from there. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich and fries. Mys husband and nephew got the sweet onion burgers. But they also have pizza and sushi burritos and tacos... there's literally something for everyone if you're not sure what to eat. I looooved my crispy chicken sandwich. It had a little kick to it which was perfect. So did the fries. Sooo tasty! If I lived in the area, I'd definitely frequent this place for sure. read more

I certainly do not come here often enough because they are adding new restaurant offerings all the time. For lunch today, Deb 7, 2025, I had the chicken ta plate from TamTam. The chicken! So many goodies on top including crunchy onions, red chilies and the variety of flavors and textures in the bowl was unbelievable! The rice is nice and sticky, the pickled daikon and carrots add a nice tartness and crispness to the bowl. The added sweet fish sauce just puts the flavors over the top. I poured some over the bowl and then dipped everything just for extra tang. My mistake for not checking the bag as my utensils were missing so pro tip is to look in the bag before running out. The crew delivered it right to me and were very friendly. I wish they had a soda fountain because I just didn't want to get on the app again to get a can beverage. They do offer water from a jug. There is more indoor seating now and new covered seating outside. I was able to park in the small lot as well. Can't wait to come back to try something new. read more

Local Kitchens - Delicious chicken ta plate. Absolutely one of the best dishes I've had! - Burgers Near Me - Lafayette, California

Five stars. Best service, well organized, clean and their food, is off the charts amazing! A new favorite! Keep it up. read more

Ordered pick up from here since there was a great BOGO deal for the burger. We did two SOB burgers with sweet onions - the burgers were good, as you expect for a typical burger. I thought there be a bit more to it but nothing exciting. We also got the fries and parm fries. They were okay as well - not the best fries as they were a bit on the drier side. That being said, it's still a cool concept overall - might still be worth checking out the other menu items read more

The Latin Ninja was OK. The quality of the salmon used was ok but the amount and flavors were yummy. It was about $20. My friend enjoyed her Taco bowl but thought the one at La Chamba in Moraga is better. The best thing about Local Kitchens is the variety and I'd want to try more. The best part of our experience was the worker we met-- Dave Stash! He was so awesome and enthusiastic, he really made our day. read more

I ordered the Broke Chick Tam from Tam Tam Rice, and it's been one of the tastiest menu items I've tried so far at Local Kitchens. There were so many flavors and textures to keep it interesting, yet everything paired so well together - no boring chicken and rice here! The chicken was very flavorful on its own, but the sweet fish sauce brought it to the next level. The pork and egg quiche was a unique touch, and I loved the pickled vegetables (I wish there were more!). The Persian cucumber and tomatoes almost had a Mediterranean flavor profile and seemed a little out-of-place, but they were refreshing. The overall rice to protein ratio was a bit high, but I liked how the rice soaked up the sauce and absorbed all the flavors. I'd definitely order the chicken rice plate again. read more

I stopped by LK @ Lafayette, and discovered they remodeled the place. They added more seating inside in the form of bar space. They also improved the tables outside on the patio. The inside has the upgraded water and condiment station. I ordered: - The Meltburger - Fries - Tempura Shrimp Local Kitchens in Lafayette still has the best food! LK @ Lafayette was the first Local Kitchens location. It was also the place where we had a Yelp Elite Event, where I was introduced to the LK brand. Since then, I have been to every location in the SF Bay Area, plus Davis and Roseville. I always order on the LK App, and I always pickup my own food. read more

This is the second Local Kitchen location that I've dined at. The purpose of the visit to this location was to support the launch of the S.O.B (Sweet Onion Burger) by a favorite chef of mine, Alvin Cailan (owner of Eggslut and Amboy in SoCal). The location was very busy but full of life with a DJ and various activities happening around the parking lot. I was given a ticket to claim one burger. The staff at the restaurant was very friendly. I received my burger right off the grill and was impressed! The simplicity of the burger made with ground beef and sweet onions pressed together, combined with a slice of cheddar cheese, sauce and soft buns tasted very delicious! I did get to meet my favorite chef and complemented his creation. I'll definitely be back for the burger and support other Local Kitchen locations. I need to try the other food vendors working with the kitchen too. read more

This is an odd place to me. Friendly & clean. Kind of a walk in fast food restaurant. No fuss. In my opinion, a great "to go" place for busy folks. They do have tables inside. However, while we were there, at lunch time. All their storage doors were open and all there supplies on their largest table. Seemed odd to have this going on at their busiest time of day. It's probably grand to some, just not my kind of place read more

Very grateful to have Local Kitchens right here in Lafayette! It's amazing to have some SF favorites just a few minutes away, even if the menu is limited. Square Pie Guys is a fan favorite in our house. Those crispy focaccia pizzas never disappoint. I also love Sushirrito, the fried chicken salad from Proposition Chicken and the Italian chopped salad from Flavor Trippin' (so spicy!). read more

I am here a lot! This place is so wonderful as it allows your whole family to pick different things while all being delicious! Mexican, Mediterranean, sushi, burgers, pizza, etc. They have it all! The service is generally quick and you can help yourself to water and utensils. Pretty easy to use their online app to order ahead of time too. read more

As promised, we returned to try the next culinary adventure. This time we went with the classics: pizza and fries. But not just any piece of pie- the "mush-o-roni" delivered a symphony of savory deliciousness. (Did not need to drive into Oakland to get it) Next was the woozy fries- they will make your tastebuds swoon. Another happy dance for the party in my tummy Did I mention the friendly fast service? - well now I did read more

Tam Tam Broken Rice has been a go to - seriously favorite! The plate itself is filled with the delicious broken rice, the tender chicken, the chard, pickled radish and carrots and the tofu squares! It's a delicious combination of a dish for one person split it to two meals and it's perfect. Could be eaten dine in or take out! They have out door seating and parking! The price point for a meal without add ins is affordable. read more

the inside smells bad and all their food is seasoned with Indian spices. Not going back ever

Amazing. Super easy ordering system. Fast service and the foot was outstanding I got the impossible melt burger (double patty) and it was great. It wasn't messy and didn't fall apart. Everything about it satisfied me The garlic fries were good as was the tomato soup. Last we got the fried chicken sandwich. Very good as well. So many dodging options so I have many reasons to come back. Service was good and the guy up front was as friendly and chipper as can be. read more

Great concept of combining 3-5 top chefs in one location. App is great, you can customize everything and pick the time to pick up. Food is across the board great. read more

I ordered food from this place 25 minutes before their closing time. The app told me it would be ready at 11:58. I get there at 11:55 and the door is already locked. No one will acknowledge us or come to the door. Finally someone pretending to work while keeping their head down actually looks up, comes to the door and sees I had an order placed. He then walks back to the kitchen and talks to a lady, they look at the computer together and look absolutely clueless. Long story short, they both came to the door and told us we placed the order for pickup 30 minutes after they close. I told them it's impossible and showed them the order saying it was ready on my phone. They were rude and very unhelpful. Tried to gaslight both me and my girlfriend into saying it was our fault. The order would not of changed to accepted, preparing, and ready for pickup if we had placed it for 30min after their closing time. To me it seems like they are extremely lazy, wanted to go home and close early. Maybe don't try to gaslight your customers next time and come up with a better excuse. read more

This was our second time ordering from this place, and the food was pretty disappointing this time. We ordered the "grilled" chicken bowl, hummus, and chicken tenders with fries for our kids. The grilled chicken bowl flavors didn't pair well--spicy, cumin-seasoned chicken, beans, Spanish-style rice, cauliflower, cilantro, and sour cream. None of us could eat it. The hummus was old and tasted exactly like the "grilled" chicken. Our kid's tenders were dry, and the fries were soggy. We won't order from Here again. read more

Love this spot a little too much! lol. I usually get the fried chicken (sandwich or salad). Try the roasted chicken goddess salad, my favorite. They have good healthy options. The mediterranean is good too. Super fast my order is usually really within 10 minutes. read more

First off, I actually quite enjoy this idea of multiple businesses inherently sharing one location. Not only does it make traveling to get certain foods easier, you can also enjoy a variety. Not much service to be had as it's a fast food style joint. Basically you go in and order on a tablet, then your name shows up on their giant tv to the left of the entrance. Wait for your meal, and then you're good to go. That said, while there's a lot of space in the building, not a lot of waiting space unless you feel like standing. There are benches outside though that are good for a good weather day. Now, onto food. I'm glad Melt is here as well as Humphry Slocombe. That said, for this round, I got some lumpia from the lumpia company there. Then I got a chicken and bacon Mac and cheese from the melt. Fair warning, the mac and cheese normally has garlic and a whole lot of it to the point I feel it's border inedible. So I removed it and it's soooooo much better. The lumpia itself was good and yet a disappointment. They're not fresh made lumpias. Rather they're frozen ones. We got an order of 8 and two of them had fillings explode out of it. When I pulled the filling out, it was very "tube-like" which told me this was frozen. Also, there's quite a bit of empty room in the lumpia so more filling would be nice. My boyfriend got a chicken tikka masala from Curry Up Now in which it's pretty good. That said, fair warning that the spice builds. It starts off mild and then works up to medium spice. Overall, probably would come again for the Melt or other brands. But probably will pass on the lumpia for a good while. The frozen mini egg rolls from i-Tea in Moraga are better read more

Decided on the Mexican food - friend and I got rice bowls, hers with meat, mine without. Hers was so spicy she could hardly eat it and the meat had too much fat on it. I had bought some salsa to go with mine but couldn't use it because mine was spicy enough without it. Very limited drink selection. No ice available for customers. Very tiny restaurant - I think most people eat on patio outside. It is a strange concept - 5 restaurants in one but not a food court where you walk around to different booths to buy something to eat. They only had two pads to order on and the first time you go, there is a lot to digest. So if they got a rush of people, it could take a long time to order. Don't think I will be rushing back there. read more

I have ordered the Zesty Nopalito salad 4X now. What a super tasty, super fresh, super yummy salad! I highly recommend it!!

Been there twice now, both times it has been great food with excellent service! Definitely recommended

We were looking for Curry Up Now, didn't realize it was actually part of the Local Kitchens mini food hall, which we'd never seen before but were thrilled to find. We ended up ordering from The Melt and Sushirrito as well, and loved everything. Ordering and pickup were easy, the staff was friendly, and the whole place looked spotless. Our family of four got tikka masala paneer on rice, garlic parmesan fries, tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons, and chicken karaage with Peruvian herb sauce. There were so many great options, we'll definitely be back again soon. It's the perfect place for a group. It's sort of magical that the same little place can provide so many different types of food, all fresh and tasty. There are a few picnic tables out front in case you want to eat there. For takeout, I recommend using the Local Kitchens app to order in advance. read more

good food, a little bite of everything for meat & non meat eaters! would definitely go back

This place was knocking out five star dishes when they opened up a few years ago. Among others, they combined Curry Up and Senor Sisig under one roof. I thought it was the best concept ever. My wife and I could order several different fusion items and share them together. The best part was that they actually made their limited menu items better than the OG! We're hardly ever roaming the mean streets of Lafayette so we had only been here a few times. A coupon offer encouraged me to check to see what's currently on tap. Sadly, no more enticing plant options aside from Falafel. I love falafel but can get that pretty much anywhere. I guess the big names dropped out and these no name restaurants replaced them. Bummer! read more

The only reason I am not giving this one star is because I've been a regular here several times before when the food has been done decently and because the service of the place is nice. I was just so disappointed tonight when I ordered the Oren's Hummus Beef Rice Bowl for $18 and the 3 beef "kebabs" were dry, rubbery, flavorless, and frankly quite nasty pieces of meat. I was appalled that this bowl cost $18 and that the chefs were okay with this quality of food being sold for a ridiculously high price. My partner ordered this same dish several months ago and he said it didn't taste as terrible as what I got today tasted. I would go on and say positive things about the other dishes but frankly I wonder if the high costs are worth coming back to Local Kitchens anymore. I was a regular when the place recently opened up, downloaded the app, used rewards and everything. But my gosh this bowl was such a disappointment. See photo below for a picture of the dry rubbery meatballs. Update: I texted customer service from the Local Kitchens App and requested a refund. They got back a minute later to apologize and honor the request. read more

Excellent, fresh food with comfortable outdoor seating, and a charmingly attentive waitstaff.

Wow! I ordered DoorDash late night after work! The food did not disappoint even late at night! Everything was cooked to perfection and super flavorful! Hands Down best guacamole I have ever tasted on Planet Earth. I must commend them even a late night order that they could have packed callouly; I would not have objected! but it was put together with such care and thought. I deeply appreciate it. Thank you read more

expensive, the fried chicken sandwich was good and the Thai pork belly was interesting, but I wouldn't say delicious. 60 bucks for what seemed to be fast food style ambience and ordering seemed a bit pricey. I like that they support local chefs though. read more

This review is on the Tam Sang Wings! I don't know if my tip was unacceptable (at least I left one.) but if you check my pictures this was not ok! They gave me some SUPER BURNT wings, with no flavor! Totally unacceptable. It sucks because the type of restaurant it is, were you order on the phone, pick up and leave. You don't find out this is what you got until you're back in the office or home with the food. Do I really want to go back and have the rest of my food get cold!? Come on now Local Kitchen don't start slipping, cutting corners, or getting lazy!! read more

5 -Stars for Lafayette's Local Kitchens. 3455 Mount Diablo Blvd., Lafayette, CA 94549. Enjoyed my Sushiritto, The Melt, Falafel, Garlic Fries, and Chicken wings these past 7 visits.

The food pick up process (by the Dashers, etc.) is very much in harmony with the walk-in customers who are ordering/waiting. One, two, three, four, FIVE stars ! I approve this rating, Jay M.

I love their chicken sandwiches! They always hit the spot! I tried their cheeseburgers this time and was disappointed. Very greasy and soggy. Service is always great. The place is pretty small and it's mostly a self service. Might just stick with the chicken sandwiches. read more

I had never heard of this place prior to driving past and looking for a place to have lunch. After finding their menu online and deciding to order prior to driving back for pickup, I am now a fan. Great to be able to order from so many different restaurants at a local source without having to drive to each restaurant location. It isn't the full menu, but the more popular offerings. My order was ready in a reasonable time and was the right temperature upon pickup. The people working there were nice and friendly. Appreciated their great attitude. Upon walking through the door I noticed the order board, some people were waiting for their orders. The order board was definitely busy. If you don't want to order on your phone online, you can use the kiosk inside. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town now that I know it is there, and apparently it's also in other Bay Area towns. read more

Tam Tam Rice was excellent! Great blending of flavors. The variety of different foods was artful.

This is for Tam Tam Rice. It was OK. If I'm going to be paying $15 for a bowl of rice with spicy pork belly it should actually have LOTS of meat in it. Not 5 small pieces (I counted). Definitely won't eat there again. read more
