Hours and hours walking around Seattle, we were hungry. Locals helped satisfy the hunger. People enjoying the bar side of the restaurant while our family of seven enjoyed the restaurant. By the time we had dinner, although hungry, it was past 8 and we needed to eat a little lighter and mostly had apps, so not sure how light that meal really was. Everyone enjoyed their dish. Because it was a bit cold, my younger sister got the fried chicken ramen. Fried chicken was not chicken katsu but fried chicken. The chicken was a bit salty while the ramen had a good amount of spice to it. Ramen broth was really good, especially on a cold night for me being from Hawaii. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the cheese perogies. I enjoy perogies and haven't had any while on this trip to Seattle so a bit of a bummer. It was more like cheese ravioli. However best part of dinner was having the family together. And we ended the night on a good note. And the staff, so sweet. We appreciate you all for accommodating our family. See you all on our next family trip. read more

Food: 10/10. This is hands-down one of the best Caesar salads I've had in Seattle. The flavor was completely mind blowing. I do wish there were more protein added on since you pay extra for the protein but overall, this was a great salad. Definitely filling and worth it. Service: service is great very attentive customer service. Ambiance: I did not expect this eatery to be so spacious. There were people working on their computer. They were folks hanging out with friends for drinks and then there was others just so like myself reading a book or people watching. read more

LOCAL Public Eatery Terry Ave - Calabrian Caesar Salad - Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Based on Uber Eats Delivery If I could give this 0 stars I could. Blackened Chicken or lack there of was possibly the worst thing I've had in Seattle for the money and I've fallen into tourist traps. Pearl Couscous Salad with Blackened Chicken Pearl Couscous Salad with Blackened Chicken lacked in every way. The taste for $28 is comparable to that of a do it yourself quick salad from Fred Meyer. Calabrian Caesar salad with Blackened Chicken Calabrian Caesar salad with Blackened Chicken same for this guy. no seasoning what so ever. I'd steer clear until they get their ducks in a row. for $75 the value is not there nor is the flavor read more

Visiting Seattle for the evening before heading to Alaska and this place was just a stone's throw from my hotel. Plenty seating for small parties or large groups. I ordered the Trophy Burger, Spicy Mango Marg, and the Beautiful Drink. All were a hit! We waited a little while for our server when we were first sat down. Apparently he had gone on break and nobody was aware that he was, but once people came around the service was pretty spot on. Would recommend! read more

After much research on Yelp the people voted and we went with the happy hour menu here. Shawn was our guy and he was amazing. We shared a Smash burger with a side of fries and wings with southern Cajun seasoning. The burger was delicious. I'm a burger lover and enjoy a classic grassfed medium rare with extra lettuce. Well this was a smash burger and it hit all the marks. Parking was limited and took time to find. read more

The food here is yummmmmy and great location in the south lake Union area! Love their hours and menu options! I crave this place.

I love Local! I think the food is really good but I feel like the service can be hit or miss here. I love their extensive menu and diversity in the menu and drinks. A great place to watch games! I also love that during brunch they serve both lunch and brunch menus read more

A cozy neighbourhood bar that hits the spot when you're craving comfort food. Their burgers are solid -- and the best part is you can swap any of them for an Impossible patty, which is such a win. The yam fries and finger foods are perfect for sharing over drinks. We also tried the Hawker Street curry with roti; not the best I've had, but still pretty decent if you're in the mood for something different. Shoutout to our server who was incredibly sweet and went above and beyond -- honestly a 10/10 service experience. This place definitely has that laid-back, friendly vibe that makes you want to come back. read more

Food - I got the dutch baby which was good. But I had some of my husband's hash and the potatoes were amazing. They were little squares of thinly sliced and layered potatoes that were crispy and salted perfectly. I will try the recreate these potatoes at home but I'll prob fail. Service - we had a large party and they handled our orders great. Everything came out quickly and they checked in on us. Ambiance - tons of seating. They have an upstairs area as well as a separate bar area. Tvs everywhere. And they play music videos which I miss. read more

I'll start with the good! Came to Local with some friends after an event in SLU. The drinks were pretty good, especially the skinny mango marg. The nachos were tasty too and they accommodated the vegetarians by putting the beef on the side. It was Friday around 9pm and wasn't too crowded. It took a while to get a table, so I asked the front if we could sit at the bar and they said no. We were eventually seated in the far back away from other parties when there were open tables in the bar area which was a bummer (again, Friday night - would've preferred some liveliness). Our server took a long time to come by throughout the night, like at least 20-30 minutes between, so we only got one round of drinks over 2 hours. Overall a mediocre experience, but maybe we just went on an off-night. read more

My first stop once I arrived to Seattle and I wanted to whine down. I walked over to this restaurant/bar and instantly fell in love with the vibes! Locals were friendly and approachable. My bartender was very helpful and even gave recs for my nachos. I tried a beermosa made with guava and it was so refreshing! Just what I needed after a flight. My nachos were also good but I wish it had a little more pork meat. Otherwise, great flavors, toppings and generous portion served. This can be shared for sure. Pay them a visit next time you are near by. read more

This place was busy when we got there at 530p. Our group was able to get a booth in the bar area so it was a little bit loud but we had a great waitress. When the water arrived our glasses were dirty and there was a lot of floaties. We asked for a new glasses and the glasses that were provided were also dirty. I ordered the fish tacos that came with two deep fried fish tacos on fresh cabbage and a delicious pico de gallo. Also it had a side of french fries that were a little underdone and they charged a dollar for a side of tartar sauce. The fish tacos were delicious. They were fresh, flaky, and the Pico was the magic ingredient. Highly recommend. The french fries however were underdone so they were dense and firm but had great seasoning. With tip, the plate was $27.50 read more

Food was very good and the service was friendly, not exceptional but good. It was really nice when they opened the large window to enjoy the evening air. The bar looked nice and the tables did not crowd people (as I recall). read more

I was browsing around late on Friday night and decided to come here since it was one of the few places still open. I was able to be seated right away and the server was nice. The bar area was packed and loud, which is exactly what you'd expect for a Friday night vibe. I ordered the chicken wings, they were really tasty, though a bit on the pricier side. There are several other items on the menu that caught my eye, so I'll probably be back to try more, if I'm in the area. read more

Cute restaurant, service was great and ambiance was nice. Food was good but more on the expensive side for some of the portions given. Overall I would definitely come back. Shrimp dumplings were AMAZING read more

Walked here as SlU Block Party didn't have many food options. Friendly server. Ordered the Peanut Satay Noodle Salad $23 and Blackened chicken curry bowl $24. A bit overpriced for the portion that you get but the food was tasty. A bit loud that we had to kinda raise our voices but otherwise all good. Solid 3.5 read more

This is a good spot in south lake Union to get a drink or food. I'd describe it as a "fun" atmosphere and a decent gathering spot. Typical menu which provides many options as well as some signature drinks. I've been to this location 3x and feel a mixed bag on the waitstaff. Usually good, upbeat service though. read more

This place was okay. Nothing really to write home about, but it was late on a Friday night and hadn't had dinner, so stopped in here since it was close to our hotel. Sports bar with lively crowd and serviceable food, if overpriced. Could've paid the same amount at a nicer restaurant, but I'd recommend this spot for happy hour or after work for sure. read more

Solid 3.5 for food and 5 for service. Conveniently located LPE is a great spot to catch a quick lunch while at work. I personally didn't like how tangy my couscous salad was, but I appreciated the freshness of ingredients. Next time around I'll probably go for the ramen my colleague ordered that looked delicious! The ambiance is pretty bare bones but good if one would like to schedule a work lunch. I'll likely have to be back coz I often stop by the building next door for work. read more

The food is truly delicious. The steak and dumplings *chefs kiss. The local Burger was perfectly seasoned and gooey in just the right way. And the apple pie cobbler was so good we had it first and we're glad we did. The drinks were also perfectly crafted but the real icing on the cake was Tina our server! Attentive and kind and steered us in the right direction. We highly recommend Local! *Ask for Tina! read more

Cute and fun spot to eat at! Right around the corner from my hotel and was referred by the hotel staff. I sat at the bar and ordered their Caesar salad with grilled chicken and fries (balance right?! ) the service was great and the food was delicious. The Caesar had a spicy dressing that was signature and memorable. Can't wait to make this my local spot when I'm back in Seattle again! read more

Had a chance to try this cute spot while I was in town with coworkers and it did not miss! This place has good service and the ambiance is great for a nice get together. For the food I tried: * Buffalo chicken wings - a little on the smaller side but the sauce was yummy and went well with the side of ranch *Crispy potatoes - i really loved this dish as the potatoes were perfectly crispy and had a good variety of toppings * dumplings - the filling was juicy and i liked the saucy thing the dumplings were on top of - they definitely added alot of flavor * blackened chicken bowl - this was really yummy as it came with flavorful delicious chicken with a yummy curry sauce that I really enjoyed. Well flavored and would order this again! Overall, I had a really good experience here! read more

Recently visited Local after attending a concert because it was one of the restaurants that was still opened late. This place is quite a vibe! It's dark inside and is like a sports bar but they also have outdoor seating with fairy lights. Tbh some food items are kinda pricy but delicious. We got the Hawker's street curry which came with roti bread and curry sauce. The roti bread was warm and soft. The curry sauce tasted like a thicker version of Tom Kha which is sweet and sour soup with coconut cream. I also ordered the Local burger with yam fries. Burger was pretty good and filling (it came with two patties). Highly recommend the yam fries! They're perfectly crisp and came with an yummy sauce. I was excited to visit again after another concert a week later because I wanted to try their ramen with fried chicken but they had a sign saying they were closed early :/ read more

We really enjoyed this local find. Really nice hangout place. Tons of seating options - indoor and outdoor. A lot of drink options. I got the steak and fries and my husband got the Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was spicy, which was interesting, but still good. The sauce on top of my steak was SO GOOD. I loved it. They make you pay for ranch, which I don't like. They almost lost a star for it, but the food and service were good, so I kept them at 5 stars. read more

I came here 3 years ago and since then I have told myself whenever I go back to Seattle I am going back to Local and getting my steak and fries! Here I am the next day writing this review because I have finally returned and was SATISFIED. This time around I tried to expresso martini and loved it. My boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork pasta and old fashion. We left fully humbled. Next was the ongoing loop of early 2000 music videos playing on the screens. Please keep that up. It really was a nostalgic moment for us to watching alot of music videos and enjoying our delicious meal. Our service was great as well. The hostess were helpful and made us felt welcomed. Till next time. read more

A few things I love especially lunch time on Sundays. Its quiet and it was authentic to strike conversations with the servers. "MINDY" knocked it out of the park with customer connections, smiles, and Reciprocative questions of curiosity. So to receive that was splendid and worth while. Shout to Enzo! For saying hi and giving a breakdown of the menu. Really enjoy my "FIRST TIME" here read more

Came here for a later dinner and we appreciate that they are open a little later than some of the other local spots. Definitely a spot with a solid beer and drink menu but we weren't having drinks for the night so we'll have to try again another time. Service was welcoming and we were seated immediately. Nice vibes and good music. Food + Brooklyn burger - burger was really tasty! Fries were decent but a little on the dry side. + Poke bowl - my husband got this but said he was a bit disappointed because he felt that for the price there should have been more tuna poke instead of tofu and all of the other stuff it came with. Overall, I really enjoyed their burger and vibes. read more

I've been in the industry for longer than I care to admit. I'm visiting from San Francisco and I'm sitting at the bar. I think the food is incredible. But is this a corporate establishment? Because It feels like it mostly because I basically got ignored. I literally watched all the bartenders and staff mingle with one another while I got left alone after I ordered. I had to raise my hand to pull an employee away from their "way more important" conversation to get another beer and then had to ask again for a 3rd. Nobody came back unless I asked them too. Disappointing....there was even a guy that came and sat next to me to me and walked out dramatically because nobody came to help him. The only person who seemed to be working was the teenaged busser... my message is... you never know who will walk into your restaurant... read more

Servers were nice but food came out very slow. The overall quality of food was pretty good. We like the chicken skewers and spicy edamame from their starters and guava drink and mango boba from their non-alcohol menu! Highly recommend this place if you're going with a big group for drinks or finger food, but it's pretty loud to chat so be aware. read more

Cool place to grab lunch in a trendy area off of Mercer St. in the South Lake Union area. Lots of tech workers were here as many of them had their work badges/lanyards on. Parking garage is attached in the same building. Came here to meet a friend and there was plenty of tables. We opted to eat in the restaurant side, instead of the bar area. Super friendly staff and the food was good. read more

Everything we ate at tye Local Public Eatery was on point. We opened with Perogis and Dumplings and both were delicious. I had the Pokémon bowl and all of the food was delicious. The staff was super attentive and made sure we always got new drinks if we needed. It was a pretty packed house when we went, playoff baseball and Monday night football with the Seahawks and Mariners playing, but it never got too loud. read more

Came in with some friends this past weekend on a night out, we pretty much all got burgers, happy hour pricing was pretty good here! Fries were really crispy and tasty, burgers were pretty good with the exception of the sauce that wasn't my favorite. As a group of 4 and it was maybe 10-11pm, we automatically got seated in the bar area so the bartenders were basically the waiters. Now the service wasn't that great and we felt we didn't really get checked in on, it took a bit to get the bill and then we didn't even get the actual bill, my boyfriend just paid and the bartender disappeared without a receipt. I felt that was wrong since the bill was 100+ and no receipt or bill is kinda crazy. Anyway that night I went home and wrote feedback online, got called by the manager within 2 days. Manager was super kind and apologetic, handled the situation really kindly and asked for me to explain the situation from my pov. She listened and cared, I explained and it was ultimately resolved. I really appreciate when managers can understand where customers are coming from and gather information to help their team work better as a whole. The situation was handled really quickly and resolved and they even got some insight for future experiences. How the situation was resolved will definitely have me going back there the next time I go to Seattle! read more

Came here for a birthday celebration and it was a great environment. I could see how it gets crowded and busy on game days. We got drinks and an appetizer and overall not bad.

Let me count the ways this place is awesome!! Chris. Haha. Just kidding but kind of not. Chris was the perfect waiter. He was so kind, attentive, well-versed on the menu and the best things for us to order, but also gave us plenty of room to pace/decide for ourselves. He truly made our last night in Seattle perfect! That + the delicious hot food (hot wings, fried potatoes, and the steak/shrimp dumplings) and the gorgeous, spacious bar with plenty of seating and TVs. All around great bar and an amazing time. read more

Went for brunch after running a 10K around SLU. Many of the restaurants close by were packed or short staffed, but this place was not which worked out for my group since we were starving!! We were seated right away and didn't have to wait. There are plenty of options on the menu, such as ramen, Korean food, poke bowl, and burgers. I'm iffy of restaurants that have different cuisines, so I opted for what seemed like a safe choice - chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken was pretty tasty. Enough to satusfy the cravings! The fries was just alright. Server was kind and friendly. We were able to split the bill with no issues. There's multiple TVs inside; one was playing a music video and another sports. The music volume was just right when we went. It allows for conversations unlike other places but not sure if it was because of the time we went. read more

Food was fine. But make sure and check your bag before you leave if you get take out. I ordered a salad and did not receive a fork or any napkins. And my kids cheeseburgers did not have cheese. read more

Went for lunch, showed up around 11:30 to try and beat the rush. Sat at the bar and immediately received a menu, then no one checked on me for 10 minutes. No "sorry for the wait" or "thanks for your patience" but the beer and burger did come out quick, I had to ask for a napkin. Beer was 1/3 foam and the $23 burger was barely warm, cheese not even melted. No one checked in so I asked for the manager to let him know about the burger. He did apologize and replaced it for me, next burger was a little warmer, still not hot, tastes good (not $23 good) but usure why not served hot. Fries were hot and delicious though. Decent place for sports on TV and a drink, not good for food or service. read more

Local is one of my work team's favorite places to go for a quick and casual lunch. With a large variety of food and drinks, there's something for everyone on the menu. My co-workers and I came at 11:30am on a weekday and were lucky to get a table before the big lunch rush at noon. This past visit, I ordered the FISH TACOS (+$19.50) and subbed YAM FRIES (+2) for regular fries. The FISH TACOS came as a set of two tacos and were large and meaty. I was honestly full after eating one taco (plus the fries) and brought the other one home for a midday snack later on. The cod was perfectly battered and came with lettuce, pico di gallo slaw, and a lemon wedge on top with a mayonnaise sauce on the side for dipping. For almost $10 a taco, it's pricey for what you get, even though they are decent-sized. The YAM FRIES were amazing and surprisingly just lightly salted which was perfect for me! They were crispy and just slightly sweet as well. Well worth the substitution in my opinion. Service was excellent and our server was very attentive. She even gave our table free samples of their new non-alcoholic riesling which was a nice touch. In terms of atmosphere, it can get kind of loud at times, but you can still usually hold a conversation at your table. They also have shuffleboard and pool tables available for entertainment. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere read more
