I ordered The Roman with the Four Bean Salad to go. The sandwich tasted great, and was a decent size. I think the ingredients went well together and would definitely get again. I especially liked their flaky yet soft bread even though it was toasted. The salad was fresh but a little lacking in flavor. read more

I always enjoy Local West- the experience has never disappointed me! I always leave full and satisfied The sandwiches are thoughtfully created, well-prepared, and generously topped. They often have a special to keep things interesting. Today I tried lemonade- I don't remember if they always have that? It was very tasty. My favorite part of Local Wsst is hands down- their lemon potatoes. You can get them as a side dish and no offense to their other sides-- but definitely choose this. They're soft and flavorful and lemony. Just so perfect. The restaurant has a cute vibe, and the workers are nice. I will say that the bathrooms are kinda gross and the whole hallway smells like dirty mop water. read more

Fast casual service with ample indoor seating and a diverse sandwich menu. Easy to place to stop by for a sandwich on your way to the beach

This spot has some decent sandwiches, and it's nice that everything is quite fresh. Honestly not a bad place to grab a bite locally. However, it's not so great that I'm inclined to go out of my way, and the prices are higher than expected. I got a cheesesteak, but spicy like the voodoo sandwich, and just like the voodoo chicken sandwich it's good, but it's not great. It's spicy, but it's not so spicy that it's voodoo! The fries are good, but there's no beer on draft or anything like that. It's just hard to understand why in Cleveland you're paying $18 for a cheesesteak that costs $12 in NYC at a bodega that's open 24 hours a day...they also need to put more cheese on that cheesesteak Staff was kind, parking was available, and there is ample seating. read more

Food was a bit higher priced. They charged me 75 cents for pickles when I'm already paying 14 dollars for a burger... Mac and cheese was bussing I tried the lemonade and it was realllllllllyyy sour I had it water it down a lot. They don't offer refills for any drinks you buy there. Burgers were good but nothing to make me return again. Paid extra for salmon on salad and the salmon was small but flavors were good. read more

Local West - Chicken sandwich & Mac & Cheese - Gastropubs Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Looking at the menu board, you can see that this is not your standard deli. It's much more than just combinations of sliced meats and cheeses. You can get a gyro, chicken pizza, salmon burger, and sweet potato fries, among many other choices. When I see a restaurant like this, I seriously wish I lived closer. I decided to go with the Cubano. This is not some half assed ham and pickles sandwich. They take perfectly cooked pork and layer it with ham, pickles, and mustard, pressed between French bread. This is seriously the real deal. I have had sandwiches in Florida that were not as good as this. My wife normally shares at least a little bit of her meal with me. She didn't let me have any of her chicken sandwich. Fortunately, we both got fries. They are skin on, and the owner told us that they soak them overnight, which releases the starch and makes them crispier. There were an enormous number of fries, and we both ate all of them. And, that's not all. My wife got a salad with an amazing vinaigrette. And, the soup of the day was a potato soup. Every spoonful was savory, and I wish I had ordered more. We are only in Ohio for three days, and we came here on day two. We are definitely coming here on our last day. UPDATE: we came back on the way home, and I got a salmon burger. Unlike most salmon burgers, which consist of breading that was formed in front of a picture of a salmon, this one has a significant amount of salmon in it. It's served with an excellent tzatziki sauce. I also got a rich, tasty mac & cheese. There are many other things on the menu, and the soup selection rotates daily, so there are plenty of reasons to come back. read more

I've gone to Local West twice. Today I had the eggplant sandwich, fries, and a blackberry cider. The eggplant was soft but not mushy. The onion tomato herb topping was delicious. I enjoy their bread, the herbs mixed into the nooks and crannies of the bread Lets talk about the music I was there for about 40 minutes( I ate there) I dined to reggae, 90s and 2000s slow and upbeat jams, and even some 70 classics, I should have asked for somebody's Spotify list on the way out cause I'm Extra I will be back soon, I'm gonna try one of the chicken sandwiches . read more

DELICIOUS! My dad and I were recommended this place by a friend who said "it wouldn't disappoint" - and he was right!! These were some of the best sandwiches we've ever had! I got the Italian Beef Sandwich - it was good on its own, but when you dipped it in the au jus sauce - no words can describe how good this sandwich was! They also give you a good portion, so you will not leave this place hungry! My dad was craving a Cheesesteak and was so excited to try this one. It was a giant sandwich - filled to the brim with steak, topped with delicious cheese, and cooked to perfection... what more could you ask for? He loved this sandwich and ate every last crumb!! Both of our sandwiches came with hot, crispy fries - the perfect side to a perfect sandwich! We can't wait to come back and try more off of their menu, we heard the burgers are delicious too! read more

Local West - This was the Big Breast sandwich with a side of fresh cut fries! - Gastropubs Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I've been dining at Local West for 8+ years and it is one of my favorite spots to grab a burger. So glad to see that they've been able to survive the pandemic and unfortunate challenges other local restaurants have faced. The service is always quick considering that the food is made to order. During my most recent visit, I ordered the Blacon burger with sweet potato fries and it was satisfying. My only complaint is that the burger was cooked a little bit more than I expected but not to the point where I didn't enjoy it. Local West is a casual spot and I often dine inside or outside on the patio. Would definitely recommend Local West if you're looking for a casual spot with friendly service and great food! read more

Passing through Cleveland. Had the cow tippe burger. Seriously one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Perfectly seasoned, huge patty, awesome bun. Fresh cut fries cooked and seasoned perfectly as well. Great service and cool vibe with a lil reggae in the background and windows all around. Glad I found this place and will return again next time I'm passing through. read more

Tried a new spot and I hate that I did! I walked in and the lil dude on the front line looked like he hated his job. I thought about leaving. But gave them the benefit of the doubt. I asked to sample the sauce that came on the "salon burger" and I was told that they have no samples of the sauce that you're supposed to just accept on your sandwich. I ordered a salmon burger assuming that the burger would be freak salmon ground up into a patty. I had no idea that it was just a salmon croquette Pattie for $15. After spending $40 for 2 sandwiches, I asked for a cup of ice and they wanted to charge me $1 as if the food isn't already overpriced. After all of this.... I decided that with the poor quality of food, the unappealing environment and the greed for charging $1 for a cup after spending $40 for 2 sandwiches.....I will NEVER eat here again. Not even for a free meal!!! read more

Excellent and moderately priced Mediterranean food. Ownership is onsite and in the kitchen. Highly recommend

Once again as I had found myself apropos to order take-out, I turned my eyes towards a little place called Local West. A most prosaic title, if we're being honest. But the reviews suggested this place was anything BUT ordinary. Much to my own surprise, I found myself ordering what would be cheesesteak for the third night in a row, just at a different restaurant. Hey, I love cheesesteaks, alright? Leave me alone. So, how was this one? Well, it helps to know they serve theirs on a baguette. This brings with it a different texture, but it works. The flavors are rustic and delightful; almost like...when Brown Bag meets Firehouse subs (only '915' peeps will get that reference). Also, I love that their fries are the freshly cut kind. These are ultimately my favorite type of fries, as they are the most authentic and clean (for the most part). A simple attribute to be sure, but also a most appreciated addition to my complete dinner. I was a little iffy on the choice to add mayo to a cheesesteak. But...it wasn't a detractor, at least. Maybe a bit superfluous in terms of cheesesteaks, since traditionally, they don't typically need or come with condiments. Interesting spin on a classic Philly sub none the less. I'm giving Local West 4 rustic cheesesteaks semi-saturated in mayo out of 5. read more

Thank the heavens for local restaurants with food this amazing!!! The Cheesesteak sandwich and fries was BEYOND any words.. the sliced sirloin was very moist and literally melted in my mouth. I highly recommend for any cheesesteak lover! The hand cut fries were on the crunchy side but definitely didn't let me down. The voodoo chicken burger was juicy and flavorful with the perfect amount of spice! The pasta salad was also very flavorful and I would order again! Until next time! read more

Absolutely rude workers, -1/10 , didn't even get a chance to place an order, walked in with my family an hour before close and the chairs were already put up, the guy at the counter shook his head before we even entered the doors, after entering the guy working at the front yelled at us saying "ONLY TAKING TO GO ORDERS." then my FIL said that was okay with us, and then the negative Nancy started shaking his head whispering under his breath like this was the biggest inconvenience of his working career. my fil then simply asked if that was a problem. Me and my family simply walked out, they really missed out, we were planning on placing 6 meals. and with how outrageous the pricing is here. that would have made a good night of sales. read more

The older taller man with the grayish colored beared is very unprofessional. My family entered the restaurant and shouted at us with an attitude saying "we are only doing to go orders!" This was an hour before they closed. I said that would be fine then the man started shaking his head and slamming utensils down. I asked if there was a problem and he just stared at me and shook his head then walked away. Very rude, unprofessional and not a way to earn business. read more

Saddest little cheesesteak I've ever had. Not much cheese not much steak. I guess the $20 mostly goes into bread? I've had better in a school cafeteria for $4.25. Fries were very good. Wont be back :( read more

I visited Local West for my second time in the last few years, and it has kept up very well. I like the variety of sandwiches and burgers on their menu, it's perfect for takeout or just a casual meal at the shop, that's my favorite part as far as the food goes. I had the voodoo chicken sandwich and it had a tremendous spicy flavor, it was grilled but as great as it was already, frying the chicken would've tooken it up a few levels. The service is quick, especially if you're as lucky as me and show up before everyone else arrives to get dinner. The building in the interior is small and has a very simple layout, very clean, and comfortable in my opinion. Check this place out if you're in town or live in the Detroit-Shoreway area! I'm looking forward to getting the italian beef sandwich next visit. read more

I just had the best chicken ceasar salad ever! I ordered take out and it was ready quick. The $15 salad is worth every penny. The ceasar is not too heavy and is more like a vinaigrette.

In town for a hockey tournament and we were relying on a local friend to recommend a place for dinner. We were definitely not disappointed! You get kind of a rustic urban chic vibe as soon as you walk in, so bonus points for charm and atmosphere. The menu was diverse and extensive - a lot of offerings for a place that is otherwise kind of small. The ingredients seem to be quite fresh. My dish was a fresh ground salmon burger with a side of sweet potato fries. Let's take a second to talk about the fries, because holy crap - they're ginormous. Hand cut, well-seasoned and perfectly fried...and just freaking huge. Delicious and outrageously-portioned: this is the way to my heart. The salmon burger was so good. My only wish was for a little more salt, but that was easy enough to add on my own. My daughter had the Mac & Cheese burger (rave reviews) and husband had the spicy chicken pizza (loved). Adding this to our list of places to dine when we are back in town! read more

Very very nice! I like! A+ to the menu and setup of the restaurant, everything is made right there and looks and smells great!

Needed to get dinner on the way to an event in Lakewood so I figured I would give Local West a try. Located in a stand alone building at the West end of the Gordon Square strip, Local West has a nice set up. A former fast food location has been upgraded with rough hewn tables and a much superior menu. Not much decor, but large windows that let the light in. The menu is Burgers, sandwiches and some salads with plenty of choices; I ended up trying the salmon burger with the fresh cut fries. You order and pay at the counter and they bring the food to your table when it is ready. The salmon burger was freshly made in house, but I thought it needed a bit more binder to hold it together and I would have liked a bit more spice. The fries were fresh made and good. My overall impression was that my meal was OK, not sensational, although I think that if you get one of the meat dishes you will probably have a better experience. Prices are reasonable when you consider the sandwiches come with a side dish and they provide you with a nice variety of choices. read more
