A great find with a wide selection of entrees, salads and appetizers. Very friendly staff and relaxing environment. We will be back!

The food is great and the drinks are amazing! Love sitting outside or at the bar that feels like outside, due to the large windows. And! I have never had any issues with the staff. Always top notch. read more

The food was excellent! We had the Blue Jack chips for an appetizer, We had a local station bowl, Salpicon, and my son had jack feathers with home made honey mustard. All of the food was superb, and we ate out in the outside dining area! Would highly recommend eating here if your in the area. read more

Local Station - A local station bowl( wild mushroom risotto with chicken and garlic white wine sauce) with fruit! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Braselton, Georgia

Late Post: Came here back in December for drinks only. Service was okay. There were 2 bartenders behind the bar, we unfortunately had the female bartender who hardly engaged with us. My drink was okay (Poolside), Nothing that wowed me, which is unfortunate because this was a signature cocktail. The bartender added too much cinnamon and ginger which overpowered the drink. My sister's fiance's drink was DISGUSTING. He didn't even drink it, I felt bad he had to pay for it (don't order the John Boat. It was basically just ginger which is just poor bartending). However my sister's drink was surprisingly very good, she ordered the Lakeside. There was some drama involving some of the other guests. One lady in her 50s was very intoxicated. But I'm not rating based on that. Just rating on my experience, which was "meh." Didn't feel welcomed nor were the drinks anything special to come back for. read more

So to start off with the obvious which is that there is limited parking space that almost deterred us from going in but I'm glad it didn't. Local Station is tucked in and off the corner which makes it easier for folks to kinda just amble up to the restaurant and take a perch outside on the patio or at the inside bar which has an open concept where you can still feel as it you are apart of the outside patio scene but with A/C. We went as first timers for a late lunch/early dinner and left full as a tick. Local has a nice laid back unpretentious atmosphere with great customer service to go alongside it. The entrées were adequately portioned and allowed to speak for themselves. Our food was prepared in a way where you could actually taste what you ordered and not covered up or masked in heavily drenched spices, garnishments and sauce like some restaurants have a tendency to do. I would have to say we really were not prepared to like this place so much but we did. I would easily consider this place an option for lunch, dinner or a meetup for cocktails which in my opinion were top tier. read more

Very good food and the service was very attending. We ordered the pimento cheese and seafood dip as appetizers and both were devoured quickly. We came here for my dad's birthday and I can say we would definitely come back again! I got the seafood tacos which were good, the cod was a little dry however. The potato chips that came with it were perfectly crisp and seasoned. My dad got the chicken artichoke which came with a generous portion of food. Overall we all were very satisfied with the experience and enjoyed the intimate environment of the restaurant. read more

Very cool and quaint little restaurant in downtown Braselton. The building was once a long time gas/service station that was redone inside and out, still retaining some of their original materials. Parking near the restaurant can be a bit challenging, but there is a large parking garage across the street. We had the lobster roll (excellent!) and the shrimp tacos (very good, but had a bit too much pickled cabbage). Has a full bar, can beer only but a good craft selection. read more

I love this area of Braselton but only wish that it was more pedestrian-friendly for getting between the library, antique stores, and then across the road to the green space and the hardware building with additional retail and dining. The corner featuring what is now Local Station is at the end of a small side street that also has a small bakery and a salon/gift store, but doesn't really give that "stroll-around-downtown-vibe." I already love the food at Jack's, so I was hoping that Local Station would exceed my expectations simply because of the hipper location, higher prices, and more unique menu options. (Speaking of menu, as of writing this, the only menu that I've found available online consisted of just the front page, so I took a photo of the back of the menu, and their website still says "Coming Soon.") I would've liked to have sat outside but the weather was iffy, so the adorable bartender, after asking us if it was our first time dining there, gave us a thoughtful tour and background on the building. The interior flow is a little unusual, going from the bar, to a small dining room (that incidentally, has a very exposed wall where one waits on the single-use, but beautifully-decorated bathrooms) through a small drink-station hallway, then through part of the kitchen, finally ending in a larger dining area. Kind of strange, but I suppose it wouldn't have fazed me if we had entered at the non-bar doorway. Our server was very nice and attentive, and thoughtfully gave me a large plate of mixed greens to amp up my very sad caprese salad. (I wouldn't recommend ordering it if it's your only meal, because even though I had mine with grilled steak added on top, it still was made up of only many, many mozzarella balls, and many, many grape tomatoes. My toddler would've thought that it was a plate of bouncey balls.) The balsamic drizzle around the plate coupled with a heavy grind of sea salt, and the additional much-appreciated greens made it more a meal, but truthfully, I sniggled many of the delicious chips off of my husband's burger plate. I was thrilled to see that by the time we were finishing lunch, the place was packed. I hope that they thrive, but I also hope that they maybe offer a separate lunch from dinner menu as it was a little pricey for a two-person casual lunch. (Competing with Cotton Calf across the street, I suppose, but Jack's and Jeffrey's are both well-known Braselton staples, so I think that Local Station will do well.) read more

Traveling home from South Carolina and we were looking for anything other than fast food. This was a tremendous surprise. We loved everything about the experience. It is really a cool set up, outdoor dining, and interesting menu. My wife loved the station bowl and I got the double stack burger which was one of the better burgers I've had anywhere. read more

Thank you for the amazing drinks and vibe. Bri was an amazing bartender! There was so much to chose from.

I always enjoy this place and every meal is great. The drink menu has unique items and their new fall selection is probably one of their best. I highly recommend stopping in for quick fall drink on their relaxing patio or open air bar facing the street. read more

We have eaten at local station a handful of times and so far I've been impressed with everything except the lobster roll. Though the lobster tastes fresh, it come in a slice of toasted wonder bread and is the smallest lobster roll I've ever had. Their blue Jack chips are incredible! They don't sound good but they taste amazing and are quite an eye catcher as well. You get a lot of them so it's a great appetizer for a small group. Their turkey burgers are okay, nothing too amazing but their chicken tenders are a great size and come with quite a few. Their ahi tuna is our favorite appetizer so far. They sear the tuna just right. The California taco is more like a burrito and has pickled cabbage that is really yummy. Everything is fresh, you have to wait a bit for your food but the atmosphere is fun. The building itself has a lot of history and it's fun to it inside, at the bar or outside. read more

Wasn't a great first time experience for us at all! My daughter's food had hair in dish and spoiled her appetite. Kitchen was close to our seats and we constantly heard a server using very profane words about a customer. So unprofessional I must say and ruined the experience. No care that a child was present talking like that! Will not recommend to anyone or be returning. read more

I like craft cocktails and I cannot lie. After reaching that "I'm dying and need food" stage, this little gem of a place rescued me. One of those busy "to-do list" days turned around completely because of this place. A yummy snack? I had the chicken "feathers" with their homemade chips. And a beautiful but simple cocktail, "The Lakeside", made with Aviation gin. A spirit from the Pacific Northwest, and one of the best damn gins ever. I coupled up my chicken feathers with a butter lettuce salad. Perfect. After moving here from a "foodie town" Jack's rescued me. If you like to eat food that raises the bar on the old standards, this is your place. If you like craft cocktails without fighting some crazy traffic, then bingo, you just found won ANOTHER prize. Go there. read more

Love it! I love the shrimp and grits and the smothered pork chop it's great comfort food...my only complaint is we would go more if parking was better! read more

Disappointed, yet again. Our appetizer, the charcuterie board arrived minutes before our dinner plates. Not the fault of our server; they'd run out of the boards and had to make one fresh (funny I assumed they would be made fresh). My son's plain cheeseburger arrived with everything on it and my lobster roll was a disappointment; not sure there was even a claw's worth of meat on it for $18. I understand we may be toward the end of this pandemic, but wearing a face mask on your chin or not at all (the manager) is useless. Won't be back. read more

Extremely not kid friendly. No high chairs, no booster seats, no kids menu. Staff seemed annoyed that we were there with kids.

Soooo...meh. I wish the food & service tasted as good as the menu sounds. 10 minutes for the waiter to stop by. The drink from the bar took 15 minutes to arrive...on a Friday at 4:30? With less than 15 other patrons? Medium rare steak? Medium well. Brisket? Dry & bland. And the 'mushroom risotto' was dry rather creamy and covered in a cheese so overpowering all you could taste was...well...sour & funk. And the worst part was that we left hungry. If we received a 'dinner' portion, I feel bad for the lunch crowd. Very disappointing for place that is cute and looks good on paper. read more

We ate at Local Station based on Yelp reviews. There were 4 of us & we all enjoyed our meals a lot. My salmon was delicious, along with the two sides of spinach & asparagus. My husband & friend enjoyed their hamburgers. Our other friend really enjoyed his entree salad. Service excellent. Prices reasonable. With the warm weather we enjoyed our patio seating. read more

Braselton certainly has classed itself up over the years. This small once-bankrupt town has blossomed into a suburban nightlife Mecca. I know this because it's fun to walk around downtown, and the restaurants are expensive. Like most fancy restaurants here, the Local Station is overpacked on a Friday night. My better half and I sat at the bar, which appears to be an old converted garage/gas station. At the recommendation of our excellent bartender - Sarah - we ordered brisket sliders and salmon chowder for appetizers. These were an excellent choice! Then Sarah made me a fantastic Bloody Mary. Finally, my wife had a "bowl" with risotto, steak, and garlic white wine. I had the the shrimp linguini. I was so stuffed with good food, that I had to take most of the linguini home. Great food, great service (thanks Sarah!) and great value here at Local Station. Five stars!! read more

Pleasant, attentive service (Kara). Stuffed pork chop (boneless chop, spinach, mozz, etc.) presented beautifully but lacked depth of flavor. Dish would benefit from both salt and acidity. Pork chop overcooked and consequently dry. Spinach charred. Refinement could benefit wine list. 12/5 @ 8:00 PM read more

We went to Local Station for the first time a few nights ago with family. I'm giving it a solid 3 stars because there were some things that were awesome but some things that were just okay. To start, the beer and cocktails were really good, especially the red sangria. No complaints there! The other part that was fabulous was the appetizers: we split the baked brie and the blue jack chips. Both were delicious and devoured quickly; they do not skimp on the sauce. Now to the just okay: the entrees. We liked the two versions of shrimp and grits, but neither was a standout. I had the stuffed pork chop. The pork chop itself was nice (it was not dry, which is always a gamble), but the wild mushroom risotto was, sadly, underwhelming. It seemed undercooked, as it wasn't crunchy but wasn't soft either, and it just was not as flavorful as I had expected. The wild mushrooms were nice... but it just didn't come together. We will definitely be back, but I think we will focus on sandwiches and appetizers, as that seems to be where Local Station shines. read more

Just left there. We're an older African American couple who decided to try this restaurant on our way back from visiting our family in Belmont, North Carolina. We had a 30 minute wait time before we were seated. Then,we were asked if we wouldn't mind taking a table outside and we said ok. So, whole we were waiting to be served, the 2 staff who were working the tables just ignored us. After 20 minutes, an older couple said, "We had the same issue waiting long for someone to recognize us." Finally, we had to leave because the waitress came out, bypassed us again, and went to wait on another table that had just been seated. I told the young lady who seated us what happened, but she wasn't helpful. We may be older and black, but we have the same green that could have helped their sales today. Racism and/or ageism, not sure, but it definitely occurred today at this restaurant. read more

I always enjoy a country style kitchen restaurant set up in a cottage style older house. The Local Station is attractive to me that way. They have a Bar set up as soon as you walk in the Door. The Lady Bartender is friendly and attentive, and sure can multi-task at the same time. There are a couple of rooms set up inside the house. We were seated at the Front Room with 3 other 4 people table; and there's a bigger room with more tables passed the Kitchen. Our waitress is friendly and efficient. We shared an appetizer - The Lobster and Shrimp Dip with Pita chips. It was quite delicious. Then I had a shrimp bowl with grits, and my husband ordered the Mushroom Cream Soup and a Turkey Sandwich. All the dishes taste good and fresh in the making. We will definitely go back and try more dishes. read more

Had really high hopes for this place but was pretty let down honestly. Staff was very friendly 10/10. The crab dip was pretty good but the "brisket" sliders Taste and look like pulled pork, still good but it's not your typical brisket. Onto the Main entrees, BIG problem with not being able to switch out sides. It's $5 to add another so that would have been a deal breaker coming if I had known & should be printed on the menu. The burger was good and sweet potatoes were amazing but lacking salt. The stuffed pork chop was bland as well, the mushroom risotto was really gross even my fiancé said there was zero flavor. I'm not sure what seasonings they use but my meal had zero. Won't be back but isn't because of the staff the food just isn't very good. read more

Comfy little spot with decent food. Has a new American vibe and price. I have only come for lunch but was impressed both times. Most recently I tried the double stack burger with cheese and bacon. Burger tasted fresh and juicy. I paired the burger with sweet potato fries at a $4 up charge which was a little pricey but they were delicious. I do have to complaints. 1. I sat in the small dining area near the restroom. I know the building is old and was a converted garage but the floor felt like it was going to fall through. Every time someone walked by it felt like an earthquake where the floor was going to collapse. 2. They don't have ranch dressing which was odd, the waitress explained "the cooks don't like ranch". This is an American restaurant that sells salads, burgers, fries, etc. so at least offer it as an option. Other than that everything was great and I would definitely come back. I'll just bring my own ranch... read more

We tried Local Station on Sunday night after seeing so many great posts about their good and drink. We were quoted a 30-minute wait but were seated after 15 minutes. They put us in the back dining room which honestly looked more like their break room. Personal items on tables, one staff member on break, dishes that hadn't been bussed and nobody else seated back there. They were out of the wine I wanted, the sweet potato fries, and lobster roll my husband wanted. But the food we received was great and service was good. The back dining room is open to the kitchen and we could hear all the conversations between servers and cooks. Not a relaxing atmosphere and many of the conversations should not be within earshot of customers. Next time we will ask for outdoor seating or sit in the bar area to avoid this back dining room. read more

I love going to Local Station! The outdoor atmosphere, delicious food, and awesome team/management there keep us coming back week after week. The menu has more variety than I've seen in most other restaurants; definitely something there for everyone. The baked brie is fantastic. I'd say it's the best restaurant in the area. read more
