Local Table in The Woodlands is easily one of my favorite restaurants. The Local Kabob Plate is my go-to order, and the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and high quality. Having worked in restaurants for seven years, I know what great service and attention to detail look like, and Local Table delivers both every time. The staff always makes me feel like family, and Emerson, the owner, and Robert consistently stop by to say hello and make sure everything is perfect. The combination of outstanding food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes Local Table one of the best dining experiences in The Woodlands. I highly recommend it! read more

We intended to go to Charm Thai over the weekend and parked at Local Table by mistake. We returned today to correct the error. The outdoor patio looked pleasant. We did not sit there because it was hot. We sat indoors. It was just me and my child. Our waitress did not mention that kids (12 and under) eat free all day Mondays (and 10 am - 12 noon on weekends). I learned this from reading Google reviews after we had already ordered. After I asked, she confirmed the promotion and allowed us to add a kids meal since we had already ordered an adult entrée, which is the required condition. We ordered a kids' pizza. You can pepperoni for $1 but it's a free add on Mondays. Not gonna lie, pizza tasted off. Kid said it and I ignored her. Then I tried it and ack. We brought the rest home and stuck it in the fridge but it tasted even worse the next day. Tossed in trash. Service required frequent prompting. Like pulling teeth. I had to ask about the drink included with the kids meal. And yes Milk is an option. I also had to ask about the cookie that is supposed to come with the meal. We did not receive one. She said they had chocolate chip only as oatmeal and sugar cookies were gone. I said fine. We never got anything. So I went to the take out stand and we were told they were out of cookies. But they offered us a small brownie instead. Unfortunately however it contained nuts. For an appetizer, we ordered the cast iron spinach artichoke dip. The chip‑to‑dip ratio was not balanced. We ran out of chips way before the dip was gone. We also ordered the cast iron skirt steak (yes lots of cast irons). I requested medium rare. It arrived medium well and slightly tough however. You'd think they could easily tell this since they slice it all up before serving. It was not seasoned, but presumably that is because it is intended to be used with the chimichurri sauce provided. No salt on the tables. Overall, the experience and the food were marginal and borderline acceptable, but definitely unremarkable. Service is another story however. She was nice, just not very good at her craft. read more

I can't believe this is the first time I have tried this restaurant. Great varieties of sandwiches and pitas, wraps, tacos, pizzas, and salads. They also have appetizers, burgers and entrées such as kebabs, meatloaf, pasta, and even a cast-iron chimichurri skirt steak. The special today was fish and chips. It was excellent. We also tried the steak salad with a jalapeño ranch which I highly recommend. Plenty of seating in the restaurant as well as the bar. Excellent service. They do have patio seating but it's much too hot to try that right now. read more

This was the top pick for a family friendly dinner and it met the accolades. Nice and bright in the dining room. Sage, our server, was helpful, polite, and attentive to the children's needs as well as the adults. I had the meatloaf covered in red sauce with mashed potatoes and green beans. Very nice dinner. read more

Local Table - Meatloaf - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - The Woodlands, Texas

I'm not sure how this was my first time visiting here, because this place is EXCELLENT! My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed our entrées (the vegetables they both came with were particularly delicious), and my son was thrilled with his chocolate chip waffles off of the kids menu! The ambience was perfect for a casual late lunch after attending a birthday party, where we were looking to relax and just talk a bit as a family. Both our hostess and server were kind, asked us about our day, talked with my son, and answered all of our questions. Both my husband and I said we will be back several times in the future! read more

We came here to a Saturday brunch with total of 4 people. We made a reservation about a week in advance. Service was super nice and attentive. Ambience was very modern and appealing. They have lots of seating, beautiful bathroom and lots of space. Definitely a very beautiful place to dine. Food was pretty good but not amazing. I had crab cake egg Benedict. It was a very large meal and was pretty tasty but the crab cakes weren't great. My husband had chicken wrap with chips and chips were really bad. I am not sure how to mess up the chips. Overall was a good experience, except the potato chips. read more

Do not try the fish and chips special. The fish are fingers, not the full filet, and the batter is heavy and all wrong for a proper fish dinner. Over half of what you see is batter. Skip it. The rest of the plate was really good. Millions of Americans visit the UK every year, so why is it that no one over here can make a decent rendition of British fish and chips? Gordon's, Ben E. Keith, Sysco (because we know these were frozen and came in a box), please try harder. Fish fingers suck. read more

Why 5 stars? Because this was such a cleanser after a subpar experience elsewhere. --- --- --- I recently had a lox bagel at another restaurant and it left kind of a bad taste in my mouth. So as soon as I saw the smoked salmon avocado toast on the menu, *and* that it happened to be a top highlight, I was absolutely sold. And the result? THIS is how you do smoked on bread. It was basically the perfect rendition. I have no notes. Absolutely delicious. Fresh. High-end ingredients. No post-meal food coma. Very affordable (under $20 before tip). I had Local Table bookmarked forever and just never stopped in. I regret taking so long and will absolutely be back in the future. read more

Food is always pretty good and service has been great either with a few people or with a big group. It's a fun place to take coworkers, family or a fun girls night out. Like I said food is always pretty good but nothing over the top. It's my go to place to take clients out to eat as there are a lot of options. read more

I've visited Local Table several times now. The food is fresh, they have healthy options, and most of all - tasty. I've had a few entrees and all have been great! In all of my visits, the wait time has been relatively short and the staff has been both attentive and friendly. There are quite a few things on my radar that I still want to try so I'm ready to visit again. read more

I went here today with 6 friends. We arrived about 11:15. We were seated right away. The service was super slow and we had to keep asking for things. It took us almost 2 hours! The food was meh! I ordered the spicy beef tenderloin wrap with fries. It wasn't spicy at all. There was very little meat. The fries had no flavor. I didn't complain because who wants to wait even longer! read more

Met up with of a couple of my friends for an early Valentine's get together. Came here as one of my friends spoke so highly of this place. They didn't disappoint. Our service was spot on! Genevieve was our server, but both managers came over and checked in on us, as well. The food was great and the atmosphere was so relaxing. We could all actually talk & not having loud music blaring or noise from other tables. Somehow, it just seemed so peaceful. They did surprise us with a free dessert! We can't thank you enough. That made our valentines so special! If you haven't been here, you need to come try it out! You won't be disappointed. read more

Local Table - Chocolate molten cake with ice cream. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - The Woodlands, Texas

We love local table. Their food is delicious! The chicken fried chicken, wood stone pizzas, hamburgers, pasta, or my favorite, the Anaheim chicken! The ambiance is fresh and I would classify it as an upscale casual. Classic cocktails and many draft beers on tap. Great for families, friends or even a date night! read more

I'm slightly confused. Maybe it's me. I was craving a steak kabob and after some Facebook local foodie page research this was said to be the place with the best one. First of all, I found the portion size to be very small for the price. 2 skewers with only 2 chunks of meat each a tiny scoop of rice and a tiny scoop of veggies. On the plus side the Brussels sprouts in the mix were AMAZING!! And the kabob was fine. Exceptional though? No. I was so befuddled I saved some of it for my husband to try. He said it was awesome and commented without prompting how what I'd left him was plenty enough and filling. It must be me right?! Haha read more

The food was okay. We had braised short rib quesadillas and lemon pasta. Fresh ingredients were great. In my opinion it needed more flavoring in the food. Service was great and our waiter was attentive. Loved the openness of this space all the decor. read more

Atmosphere was always inviting. The food tasty and portions were good. Diverse enough menu too.

Our waitress Genevieve did a fantastic job! Very attentive, but didn't hover. I had a local burger and my wife had the Gyro and both were fantastic! The restaurant was very clean and smelled fresh. read more

Do not make a reservation for a major holiday. Their reservation system is most likely based on a vibe coding system. The hostesses were overwhelmed with many people who had made reservations waiting well past their time. I feel sorry for them but not enough because my small children were crying they were so hungry and their small breakfast hadn't held them over. We waited for 45 minutes after our reservation time and left. My last Mother's Day with a baby was ruined. Do not recommend for any major occasion or special event in your family's life. read more

I visited here during a holiday and was still able to find parking up front surprisingly. Since I dined alone, I found the bar area fairly easily since all their Houston area restaurants are laid out similarly. One aspect that makes this one unique is the TWTX sign on the wall near the restroom. I've had a few of their cocktails which seem to be discounted for happy hour at some locations but not in the woodlands. Only their beers, wines, wells and frose are on sale then. I tried the chicken burger on my latest visit and a fresh strawberry lemonade. The chicken burger is a little different and better than your average chicken sandwich due to their cole slaw which they put on it that contains a bit of cilantro. I enjoyed this sandwich. Their strawberry lemonade is a good option for those skipping alcohol, like I did this particular day. They also give you free refills. The service was excellent as it should be sitting at the bartop. read more

I had the Anaheim grilled chicken and my husband had the classic burger. I was surprised with how great my meal was! Sometimes I'm hesitant to eat at restaurants with such extensive menus, but this place keeps their ingredients fresh and delicious. We sat outside on a hot day, and there were fans outside and the staff was attentive to bring us waters and refreshments often. I will be back to try some of the wraps and bowls soon. read more

Never use them for catering events at your office. IDue to unexpected circumstances involving my client, I had no choice but to cancel on short notice. I understand and respect that cancellation policies are in place, but I was disappointed to be charged given the situation. I have brought your business thousands of dollars over time and have consistently chosen your establishment for client lunches and meetings because of the quality of service and experience. Because of that long-standing relationship, I had hoped for a bit more flexibility and understanding in this instance. Being charged this fee despite my loyalty has been frustrating, and it has made me not use you for future catering events. Absolutely terrible read more

Everything had was bad. The eggs were overdone and the potatoes and bacon came out cold. I ate without anything to drink because I couldn't get service. It is a cute place, but that's it. Maybe if you come early when the food is fresh it's good, but they are definitely precooking and just leaving it on the counter to serve for hours. Also no options for chicken sausage or turkey bacon, and they falsely advertise maple syrup, it's corn syrup not real maple syrup read more

It was my first time trying local table. The place is really nice with ample seating both inside and outside. The menu has a wide variety of items from quick healthy lunch, to well portioned dinner and even brunch. We got the chicken quesadillas and blue crab cakes to start both of which were good size portions to share and super tasty. Then we ordered the Philly cheese steak on ciabatta, the local burger which was large and perfectly cooked, the gyros plate (would recommend), the nutritious bowl, which is perfect for a healthy lunch, and the ahi tuna poke bowl. Everything was great! The staff was super friendly, quick, and very helpful. Overall our experience was great and will definitely be going back soon. read more

First time eating at the Local Table with my friend. The menu presented such a variety of items to order. I order the Cobb salad with chicken. It was delicious and not prepared like a Cobb salad I have had before! Large portion and everything was fresh. Service was great and on top of service checking back several times. Ambiance was family friendly and relaxing with a lot of outdoor seating . I plan to return to bring my family, read more

I met the owner tonight. She's super nice and our kids are the same age. Her name is Diana. We enjoyed the food. We usually use DoorDash but enjoyed being able to go in-person. The kids had buttered noodles with grilled chicken and fruit. I had a pasta dish, too. We needed customizations which I hope didn't boggle the kitchen. My husband had chicken kabobs to go. It was our first time dining in. I was surprised the ladies bathroom only had two stalls and one toilet was broken. I was annoyed by that. It's a large restaurant. The ambiance was full of holiday spirit, which the kids and I loved. They have a holiday catering option which I might look into next year. However, our waitress made a few missteps. I still gave her a 20 percent tip. This is a family friendly spot so it's worth another visit. I've also had a the gyro plate, the lemon angel hair pasta and the Anaheim chicken. All good choices. read more

The food was very enjoyable, my Husband loved the Mahi Mahi which was a special. Our server was great, the only complaint was how long it took to get drinks from the Bar. They had one Bartender handling the bar and the Restaurant. read more

Family and I decided to try Local Table tonight for dinner. It was our first time, and will certainly won't be our last. When you first walk in, you'll be great by smiling welcoming faces. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. Our server was excellent. You can taste how the food is made fresh, using fresh ingredients. The menu has a variety of options. I started with the chicken tortilla soup. It was fresh, hearty and flavorful. For entrees we had the spicy buffalo chicken wrap, gyro plate and local kebab plate. The gyro was a bit greasy, but it was good. The kabob plate was absolutely delightful. The meat was tender and cooked perfectly, the vegetables were seasoned and fresh, and the portion size was just right. It also came with a slice of sour dough bread. I wish it came with the whole loaf, because it was that good. The chicken wrap was delicious. The fries were so good. We ended the night with the molten lava cake. Ya'll, you will not regret that choice. The cake was soft, moist and served warm with vanilla ice cream. It should be illegal to taste that good. Definitely looking forward to going back. read more

Excellent service, delicious food and a great ambiance. I've eaten here 4 different times so far and everything has always been excellent. I've brought my mom, sister, husband & a friend and everyone has loved it. No complaints from anyone, only praises. I even brought my 2 little dogs one time and ate at their dog friendly patio. They loved it too! It's a great place for weekend brunch, for lunch or dinner. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. And they have a great drink menu too. If you haven't tried them yet, give them a try. You won't regret it. read more

Always great service here. Rob is an amazing manager and will go above and beyond to satisfy your wants and needs. Make sure you try the croissant French toast for breakfast and/or brunch it's delicious. Again shoutout to Rob! read more

I tried this place out last week and it was delicious. So much so, that I had to come back today! Last week I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fries. It was sooooooo flavorful! 10/10. The size of the sandwich was huge and I wasn't able to finish the entire meal and one sitting. Today I opted for the Beef Tenderloin Fajita Salad it was a good portion and the Jalapeño Ranch dressing had a little kick to it. Service is great, food is ready on time and I'll defn be coming back soon. read more

Gyros platter was great. Nice atmosphere. Easy and comfortable setting. It was very good. read more

Great place, clean, nice atmosphere - but the breakfast items we ordered were a huge disappointment. It all looked great on the menu. For my wife and I - the waiter suggested the crab cake Benedict and Migas. The migas could have been good if not for being overloaded with taco strips. These were not migas... it says there are taco strips in the migas, didn't say it was almost taco strips with migas. The crab cakes the waiter said were 'home made'. The two Benedict's sat on perfectly identical rounds of crab cake that looked anything but. I don't care about that - the actual crab cakes were cakes of dough that had little evidence of any crab save for the less than fantastic fishy taste that was evident in each of them. Not good. I am sure the place does a lot of things right. My eggs tasted good.. other stuff our family got looked good. But if a server suggests the migas - be aware tortilla strips are overloaded and not just a supporting role. If server says the crab cakes are good - run :) read more

Very fresh clean appearance. Servers very responsive, management came by to say hello and welcome us. Food was excellent.

Happy *almost* TWO MONTH birthday to this fabulous place. Local Table is like if True Foods & Bella Green had a child. Their menu is definitely versatile & leaves you feeling satisfied and happy rather than sluggish and bloated. Don't get me started on their specialty drinks I wish I could try them all but that's sadly not possible haha. I think I'd make this a weekly spot to tackle every dish and drink! Oh! And their chocolate cake is just devilishly-HEAVENLY. Wow. It's rich and velvet-y with the perfect about of creaminess. Maybe a blackberry or two would add even more texture popping! And nice colors whenever they are in season The ambience and service were EXCEPTIONAL. Every single person there - waiter/waitress, manager, hostess, owner, cooks, etc. - are just eager to make your dining experience the best! Keep it up & you will have lifelong customers turned to familia in no time:) P.S. Their honey-ginger Brussels sprouts are the best I've ever had out. Usually restaurants DRENCH their 'sprouts but these were just spectacular. You could taste the sweetness of the honey-ginger and still get the nutritional benefits of the vegetable;) read more
