    Yummy!
    Debbie B.

    Sunday Brunch Review!! Would give more stars if I could! My hubby and I made a reservation at 10:15 and were greeted by Malachi, who gave us all the deets about their brunch. Fantastic drink offerings but we opted for tea. The absolutely COOLEST THING about this brunch is that patrons are invited to the kitchen to fill up their plates. The entire staff from the hosts to the cooks were super upbeat and fun. Now the yummy stuff.... So many options for all palates. We enjoyed every bit of it... vanilla scones, fruit/ cream, quiche, French toast, roasted potatoes, shrimp and grits, Mac n Cheese, brisket quesadillas, mini sliders. Dessert table had mini cupcakes and tarts, but we were stuffed! Definitely returning to Local Three Kitchen for brunch again!

    I was initially hesitant about coming here. I'm not sure why. But it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant's decor was sort of modern rustic (?) but classy. Our waitress (Melissa) was so sweet, just attentive enough and helped us with more ideas for experiencing the area. The concept was unique to me--buffet offerings are laid out in one of their kitchens (they have 2). The food choices were a mix of tradition brunch (pastries, breakfast meats, and scrambled eggs) and savory items (jambalaya grits, ribs, brisket quesadillas). I tried almost everything and enjoyed it all, but especially the croissants (3 types), as they were incredibly flaky. The waitress told us that they are made in house by their own pastry chef. If they have their mocha cheesecake (and u like cheesecake), save some room because these are divine, so smooth and just enough sweetness. Definitely a place to try, although I feel it doesn't quite warrant the $50 per person (adult) price.

    I was thrilled to hear that Local Three was still around since my initial visit around 10 years ago. I was even more excited about the fact that they were still doing their unique brunch buffet in which patrons could walk through the kitchen and just pull small plates off the pass. It was such a fun experience that I really wanted to revisit. The restaurant was as I remembered it - sleek and rustic with a real Southern vibe. The service was friendly and engaging. However, I spent little time focusing on the staff or décor, because I could not wait to get into the kitchen and grab some food. There were just so many items, all broken into "Starter", "Breakfast", and "Lunch" portions of the menu. A few of my favorites were the Smoked Salmon Toast, Buttermilk Biscuits with Peach Jam, Patatas Bravas, Shrimp and Grits, Chilaquiles, and Collard Greens. After stuffing ourselves on several plates from the kitchen, we saved room to try some tarts off a dessert table that was located next to the host stand. The small, delicious bites were all we could handle by that point, but they were still much appreciated. The brunch buffet at Local Three was really like no other in the way the food was acquired by the diners and in the gourmet quality of the menu items. I highly recommend this experience!

    Honestly one of the best meals my husband and I have had. Our waiter Alvin and all of the staff were amazing! Alvin spoke about the menu with pride and has great recommendations. You'll have a great meal if he's your waiter. Favorite food: The hot honey wings...omg. Best wings/wing sauce I've ever had. The chef was so nice to send us home with some extra sauce. Kid friendly!! We brought our 2yo and our 7 month old and everyone was welcoming to them. The kids meals are some of the best we've had too. Our daughter got kids chicken tenders and asked for a second plate. That never happens... If we lived in the area we would be regulars. You gotta check this place out!

    I was tempted to do. TikTok about this place but decided against it. I don't want to ruin the mystery of this hidden gem! Local Three is tucked away on the first floor of The Forum at West Paces. It's a charming live/work neighborhood that you'd have to know how to get the there and where to go. This was a suggestion from a former colleague to meet up for drinks and dinner. He likes it for the extensive bourbon selection. Their menu is simple and seems seasonal based on market availability. That evening were NJ oysters. We skipped that ordered The McDowell. Yes, named after Coming To America the movie! We started with the sampler charcuterie board. It left a lot to be desired. To drink, I ordered a whisky sour to sip. It was light, sweet and boozy. Overall, great ambiance and service was attentive, personable and easy. I'd go back to try other menu items and tasty drinks.

    The interior had a laidback but upscale feel. The service was amazing - we got great recommendations from our waitress and she was very attentive. And the food was delicious, minus The Apple dessert which we had higher expectations for. Cocktails were also solid, strong and with complex profiles.

    Dusted Venison.  What a treat.

    Wow. I have never had a pork chop that was so good. Absolutely amazing. Great flavor, moist, excellent flavor. Just a bit of bite. What a wonderful meal. Also had the Old Fashioned and a C.R.E.A M. Wonderful, flavors. Great service. First time here - will definitely return...

    We have been going to Local Three for many years and it had become our go-to Sunday brunch spot until Covid hit. The service is excellent, with great people and nice conversations. We weren't big into Southern cooking until finding Local 3, and now we're hooked! Outdoor seating is our preference as it can get too loud inside (although they've put noise panels that helped a lot). We enjoy taking a stroll around the gardens after a full meal, and it makes it for a perfect Sunday after church. Highly recommend!

    $25.93 for adults. It's on their website under brunch menu.

    We have one vegan in our group coming in for brunch buffet..is there another menu she can order from?

    Currently there is no brunch buffet, and some menu items can be adapted for vegan. I'm sure the chef would accommodate her.

I…read moretypically go to LOL burger, but read a review that raved about the turkey burger at this spot! I was sold! I arrived around 3:30pm. They have a dedicated parking a lot that had plenty of open spots when I arrived. When I walked in I read the sign that said seat yourself, so I did just that . The wait staff immediately came over with a menu. She asked if I needed another drink besides water. I am not a fan of ice cold water so I did request water with no ice. I checked out the menu period to arriving so I already knew my order ! I opted for the turkey burger with Parmesan garlic fries. The sound of this had my mouth watering in anticipation as I waited for my food to arrive . It appears the food was cooked fresh because it took a good 15 minutes for my food to arrived. There were only two other patrons in the restaurant so they were not busy . When my food arrived - I got so excited to take that first bite . I started with the fries! I enjoyed them but I did not taste the garlic . Additionally I am accustomed toParmesan cheese being grated thin- the cheese on the fries did not look like Parmesan, but they were tasty! Would I order them again? - no- they just did not taste like Parmesan garlic fries so no need to pay extra for it next time . Now for the star of the show--- this turkey burger was amazing!! Here is the deal, the actual Pattie is nothing special - it's what is included with the Pattie that makes this good. The kale slaw , and the sauce - oh my gosh!! You get every macro you need , protein , carbs and fiber!!! Then to make it even better it has a spicy kick to it ! When I tell you I cleaned my plate ! There was not one crumb on my plate when I finished! My only complaint -- please clean the router and the items next to it ! I sat in the booth directly by the router and the amount of dust on that thing was disturbing ! I wanted to clean it myself! I am sure this does not need to be stated - but I will be back and I would recommended you check this spot out !

The atmosphere itself was nice--semi-dark with a cool concept--but it could definitely lean more into a darker, more immersive speakeasy vibe. The bigger issue, though, was the service. It was night and day compared to upstairs. The waitress came across as rude and unwelcoming from the start. A few of us sat down in a small corner area with an L-shaped bench and some extra chairs we had to pull over ourselves. Obviously, with 12 people, there was no way we were all fitting there, yet she insisted she wouldn't take any drink orders until everyone was seated. That made no sense, especially since there was standing room and even a bar-height table available. To make matters worse, there was zero acknowledgment of the birthday--not even a simple "happy birthday," which felt like a missed opportunity given the occasion. When we asked about Fireball shots, the response was a blunt "um, no," followed by "you can have water," as she started filling glasses. That pretty much summed up the vibe we got. Not sure if this is typical service down there or just an off night, but it was enough to make us decide we wouldn't come back to the speakeasy. Bottom line: If you're in the area, definitely check out Muss & Turner's for dinner--it's worth it. But I'd skip Eleanor's and save your time and money.

But management completely dropped the ball, and that's enough for me to walk away for good.
