    It was actually a great experience and we came in a little over an hour before closing. So I can imagine the service if we go in midday or beginning of the night. I ordered street corn for an app, Shrimp Tacos for Entree and a Tequila Flight. Wifey had some Queso for an app and a Chicken Quesadilla for her Entree. My Sister and her bestie both ordered some kind of Quesadilla but in a Fajita layout. They all ordered margaritas except for me. They spoke greatly of them and the food was stellar. Certified BUSSIN from me........ Peace

    I swore I've completed reviews before but for some reason they are showing. This visit is started with the salsa flight as usual (zucchini, Chipotle and Verde tomatillo). I also enjoy the queso blanco. as it was a little chilly outside the BIRRIA QUESADILLA PLATO was a no Brainer. I also highly recommend the heirloom primo margarita. Service was great.

    Carnitas tacos in hard shell
    Lexee S.

    Local lime is the best Mexican food in the area. I have ate here many times and the food has always been consistently delicious. This time I had the steak and shrimp fajitas. The steak in their fajitas is the best quality steak you're going to find at a Mexican restaurant! I also love the fresco bowl, their tortilla soup and our course queso! My husband loves getting the carnitas tacos and asks for a hard shell. He says the hard shell makes all the difference! It's off menu but they can put any taco in a hard shell. We also love the Texas two step margarita with mezcal. Perfect spicy marg with a little smoky flavor! On occasion I have had slow service here but the food always makes up for it! We love sitting at the bar because the service there is always quick and they have very comfy bar stool chairs!

    Birria Quesadilla
    Sonya C.

    I heard and read a lot of good things about this place so I finally had time to stop in and see what all of the fuss was about. The restaurant is cute and it has a really good vibe especially for cocktails with friends or after work. I just walked in with no reservation and was helped and seated by friendly staff. I ordered the Birria Quesadillas and it was Delicious, moist and juicy. I will definitely go back and try other items from the menu. Maybe next time I'll try a cocktail.

    Shrimp and brie quesadilla
    Ava S.

    We went here as a group. Local Lime is here in Germantown, located amongst the shops at Saddle Creek. The restaurant's name is written on the building and the interior is clean, bright and inviting. Our server was friendly and helpful with the menu. They have something to fit every palate and dietary need. For appetizers, we had the salsa flight appetizer, where you choose three to try along with the skillet queso. There's one salsa made with zucchini, and it was light and interesting. For entrees, there was the shrimp and brie quesadilla, fajitas, fish tacos, and curry shrimp tacos with cilantro rice and black beans. Everything was fresh and tasty. We had a really good time, and if you're in the area, you should give this place a try.

    Chorizo Tacos

    Some friends and I went to Local Lime for dinner on a Saturday night. Since they don't take reservations, we were told the wait would be about 25 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 55 minutes. Once we were seated, we ordered drinks and appetizers and asked for waters for the table. After some time, our server returned to let us know they were out of queso dip, but didn't offer an alternative. When she came back after initially forgetting our drinks, I placed an order for different appetizers instead. The food arrived before we ever received water, despite asking multiple times. I ordered the queso flameado, which was good, along with the chorizo tacos. I also had the passion fruit margarita, which was tasty, though the portion was small for the price. The atmosphere was loud and very busy, it definitely seems like a popular new hangout spot. Overall, the experience was just okay. I'm not sure I'd go back.

    Local Fresco Bowl
    Amber B.

    Great atmosphere, fresh and authentic food, and stellar service! The shrimp tacos, beans, and rice were my favorites. The richness of flavor in each dish was eccentric. My sister ordered a bowl and she enjoyed it. I loved the vibrant colors of each dish and the plating options. Each meal was under $25. Some entrees came with the options of two sides. Pictured: House made Guac & Chips, Shrimp and Brie Quesadilla, Rice, Beans, Local Fresco Bowl, Caribbean Beer Battered Fried Shrimp Soft Shelled Tacos, and Ahi Tuna Taco

    Waiting for Take out

    I'd heard about this restaurant since moving to the area, but difficulty with parking in this plaza kept me from trying it. After our lunch today, I wish I would've been more patient in the past. The atmosphere on a Monday afternoon was noisy, but pleasantly busy. Good sign. We ordered takeout yet only waited about 10 minutes max. They have designations on their menu for food allergy and sensitivity patrons, with a larger selection than most Mexican restaurants. The food was very good, fresh, not greasy or heavy. There were no chips given, or any extras like sour cream, salsa or guacamole unless you pay for it, but the entrees were very good and unique when compared to other locations.

    It's been a while since I visited Local Lime, and I have to say, I love this spot! I chose to sit at the bar, and as usual, I immediately knew I would order the Fresco bowl with ribeye and the street corn--my absolute favorite. In fact, as I write this review, I'm craving it all over again! I also had a piña colada, which is strong but delicious. I tend to drink it quickly before it melts, as it changes flavor a bit when it does, but it's still my go-to every time I visit. I can't remember the bartender's name, but he was fantastic--very attentive and made my experience even better. I always enjoy myself at Local Lime, and if you haven't been yet, you definitely should!

    Salsa Flight and Queso with chips
    Dianna S.

    Went to lunch Tuesday at Local Lime with friends. We arrived at 11 and we're seated very quickly. The service was pretty good. We had one waitress and then changed up a few minutes after and had another waitress. She was excellent and attentive. She checked on us from time to time and very nice. i think her name was Laketha. The decor of the restaurant has some southwest hints with bright colors. It is modern looking and reminds me of an upscale cantina. We started off with the Salsa Flight. That is always tasty and has a variety of flavors. The queso was creamy and hot. It was a good consistency for dipping and not breaking the chips. My tuna tacos were very good with a lot of vegetables and blue corn taco shells. My sides of cilantro lime rice and drunken pinto beans added greatly to my dish. Good food and friends made for a great lunch. We will return in the future.

    Curry Shrimp Tacos
    Ally M.

    We had such a great experience thanks to our waitress, Britany. She was so personable and attentive from the moment we sat down. She made us feel genuinely welcome and checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. I really appreciated the suggestions she gave, they were spot on and made our meal even better. We were visiting from out of town and she made the choice of this restaurant perfect! The food is amazing and the environment is so friendly! Everyone was so welcoming.

    Local Lime is the perfect refuge for Mexican fare located in the middle of an upscale shopping plaza with Madewell, Anthropologie, Victora Secret, and Free People. This block is a heaven for a shopping and lunch date with your girls. Local Lime is absolutely gorgeous, busy ambiance and delicious latin food to boot! The best thing is you are not locked into buying their set tacos, but order them a la carte! I personally love their Crispy Ahi Tuna, Chargrilled Ribeye, Pacifico Fried Fish, and Local Carnitas tacos. The Crispy Ahi Tuna is the only taco that comes in a crunch purple corn tortilla shell while the others are a soft flour tortilla. Both Crispy Ahi Tuna and Local Carnitas are bursting with sauce and juicy flavor. Recommend you try the both! The "Pacifico" fried fish is less flavorful and my least favorite of the four.

    Spinach and cheese enchiladas
    Chloe S.

    We went here on a Saturday for lunch and it was packed, but we got seated immediately. We had a really sweet waitress that asked a lot of questions to make sure our food would come out as we liked it. Everything was so fresh and amazing and had cute decor. Very chill vibe and loved the vegetarian options.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner in its sun room with a neutral natural palette that I once indulged myself at the Rose Tavern in Canandaigua in Upstate New York. That nostalgic feeling of being in a beautiful tavern is pure delight. Absolutely beautiful restaurant, truly deserves limelight recognition in Germantown. Our darling Annalise server was extremely friendly. We loved the presentation of our dinner, but the octopus was a bit soft for our taste. I've had plenty of octopus in other cities and understand the dish is typically more expensive, but a small single mediocre tentacle is quite pricey for $28. I personally prefer a crispy and firmer chew for octopus. The scallops and shishito peppers were a delightful pairing. Valet parking shouldn't be forced upon the customer though? I felt bad that I don't carry cash to tip the valet, and valet is mandatory unless you want to park on the side streets and walk over. Do carry any cash! I wish that a portion of the parking lot was open for self parking though as those boys don't need to help out every guest who don't need valet and subjecting them to wait around for the boys to grab cars that we're perfectly capable of doing ourselves.

I had a fantastic espresso martini and the best brussel sprouts I've ever tasted! So I was excited to come try something else. On the plus side, the bathroom was so nicely decorated. It was also very clean. I sat at the end of the bar, beside the little section of books. The bartender was nice. I ordered the Ember&Passion cocktail. Although it was pretty good, it was quite mild. Unexpected with the ingredients in it. I was surprised that the level of expected heat was not very detectable. I give it 7/10. When I came here before in the winter, the temperature was perfect and I don't remember being too bothered that they don't have cocktail napkins. But yesterday it was quite warm in the restaurant and not having these napkins wasn't good. Nobody in the restaurant had any type of napkin under any drink! I noticed that just like mine, every glass of water from every patron had a puddle of condensation under the glass. Each time I picked up my glass of water, it would drip onto my food and clothes. My two menus got so wet. I suppose they made this decision to save themselves a lot of money. As for the food: My parmesan truffle fries were excellent!! Hot, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked in the middle. Best I've had in a long time. The Alabama white sauce on the side was just your typical sauce. It tasted just like every other Alabama white sauce that I've had so was not disappointing. But I actually ended up not using it because it was too thin and it didn't add anything to the fries. The fries were excellent enough on their own. I ordered my burger "pink" but there wasn't any pink to it, but I wasn't that bothered about it. Burger and the toppings were tasty, except for the fried green tomato. Looking closely at the picture, you can see that it was SO SMALL compared to the size of the burger. When a restaurant does that, don't they realize that it makes for a glaring disappointment?! It apparently came from near the end of the tomato, and not the middle. If you are going to offer a fried green tomato on a burger, then I feel as if you should only use the larger slices of the tomato, and save the smaller ends for maybe putting in salads. I've always been obsessed with fried green tomatoes. After having my first two bites of burger and still not reaching the tomato, I took it off to eat by itself. Sadly, it tasted terrible! I was surprised. Obviously, they didn't season the tomato or the batter. (Salt and pepper go a long way.) The burger toppings apparently made the tomato batter not only soggy, but also this strange thick texture. Like mushy and chewy at the same time. 1/10 Worst problem: FLIES!!! So many flies! When I just had my drink but no food yet, I noticed them but was not bombarded by them at that point. It wasn't until my food came. All of a sudden I was literally surrounded by them. They were everywhere! No exaggeration. I actually had to use only one hand to eat and the other hand to constantly move back and forth over my food. I eventually gave up and set the plate of some of my fries about 4 inches in front of my burger in order to hopefully draw the flies to the fries so that I could eat my burger. Unfortunately, after only four bites of my burger, when I set it down to take a drink of water, a fly landed on it within one second. Obviously, that was my last bite, and even when I was moving the plate closer to the end of the counter, two more flies landed on it. The glass of straws was inches from me. That, and the book closest to me seemed to be where they gathered to wait for their opportunity to dive bomb me. So many of them! It turned my stomach when I realized that I had been drinking from a straw with my water and I'm sure there had been flies on it before I got there. Every person that gets a straw in their drink at this restaurant has had a fly sitting on top of it. When the bartender told me about the desserts, it turned my stomach to think of just how many flies were in the kitchen. Had I known the fly situation was that bad when I first got my drink, I would have never stayed there, and I certainly would have never ordered food. I do think it is a real shame because the winter months are a totally different experience in that restaurant. But because of how horrible it was this time, I just can't ever come back.

I was at the bar with my husband and my parents, and I'd had one and a half drinks over the course of the evening, nowhere near intoxicated. We were talking and laughing at a normal volume. At one point the tables around us were so loud I asked the bartender to speak up because I couldn't hear her explaining one of the drink specials. She was gracious about it, moved closer, and said, "I'm sorry, it's ladies night." If anything, that showed how loud the room already was before I said a word. Even my parents, who are the first to tell me if I'm being too loud or out of line, agreed afterward that I hadn't acted out in any way. The owner, Donna Watford, came over and told me to quiet down. I should mention, this isn't unfamiliar territory for me. I've worked in Michelin starred restaurants and I know what's expected of a guest and what isn't. What struck me was the tone and framing of how I was singled out. I wasn't being disruptive or unruly. It felt distinctly like I was being policed for being visibly and audibly gay rather than for actually being too loud. Other tables around us were just as animated and weren't approached. When I told Donna she shouldn't speak to a customer that way, she said, "I can because it's my restaurant." That response told me everything I needed to know. This isn't a business that sees hospitality as a two way street, or values the people paying to be there. I'd think twice before going back, and I'd want other guests, especially LGBTQ+ folks and anyone visiting with family, to know what kind of experience to expect here.

    I was really looking forward to this visit since I haven't been here in years, but unfortunately,…read morethe experience fell short in several areas. I ordered the shrimp tossed in chili teriyaki sauce, as listed on the menu. The shrimp were fried extremely hard and arrived cold. Instead of being properly tossed in sauce, there was only a minimal drizzle on a few pieces, which made the dish feel incomplete and not as described. The catfish nuggets and fries were just okay--again, both arrived cold, which seems to be a consistent issue with food temperature. The bar experience was also disappointing. The green tea shots were not made correctly, and the "double" shot of Jack Daniels was poured more like a single. In addition, the menu did not include any drink options or pricing. While the waiter mentioned they have a full bar, having a drink menu (even a basic one) would make ordering much easier and more enjoyable, especially for guests looking to try something new. Service-wise, the waiter was clearly overwhelmed and not very available, but when she did come to the table, she was very kind and pleasant. No complaints about her attitude--just a staffing or management issue. Overall, there's definitely potential here, but improvements are needed in food temperature, menu accuracy, and bar consistency to elevate the experience.
