100/10!!! This place is phenomenal!!! If cozy farm to table is your vibe, this is the place! You walk in through a garden type area and if you want to buy some annuals or other gardening item, they have that! There is plenty of outdoor seating and we caught the opening songs of a local acoustic set--when the weather is good, this place is sure to be packed!!! When you enter the building, there are plenty of local goods--soaps, snacks, beverages and etc to peruse. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. There is art throughout the building, so make sure to check it out. The food--oh the food--chefs kiss. My eggs were cooked to perfect, my latte was delicious (though not quite sweet enough), the bread pudding was decadent without being cloying. I'm fully obsessed and hope to visit every time I come to MD to see my family. read more

I was in the area and decided to grab some things to go. I got their Locals Cheeseburger which I have had before and enjoyed. They cooked it the way I liked and I still enjoyed it. I also tried 2 additional dishes: Old Bay Crab Soup. Bread Pudding for dessert. Old Bay Crab Soup. The menu described it as crab broth with sherry wine, carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, backfin blue crab, Old Bay and scallions. I got it in a to-go cup, and it was served hot, but manageable. I was glad I tried it. For dessert, I got their Bread Pudding, described as baked in a rich custard, served warm over vanilla crème anglaise and finished with a three-berry compote. Since I got it to-go, all those extras were packaged separately from the pudding itself. I ended up having to look at someone else's posted picture of the end-product so that I could figure out what to pour on before what. It helped a lot and that was some good dessert. read more

Great food and ambience. Country, down to earth with sophisticated cuisine. Dining outside is great,

My wife and I went to lunch at a local Poolsville restaurant called Locals Farm Market. The restaurant is an old farmhouse in Poolesville with both inside and outside dining. They use only local grown produce and protein in their offerings. I had a hamburger medium on a brioche bun gluten-free with lettuce, tomato homemade pickles and outstanding french fries My wife had a grilled cheese sandwich and homemade tomato soup, with a side of fresh fruit. We both had freshly made iced tea. Both the ambience and the food were spectacular. This is the first time I've ever been to a restaurant where I've ordered a medium rare burger, and it actually came medium rare. The meat was succulent,moist and extremely flavorful, and very well seasoned. The fries were double cooked in peanut oil and appropriately salted. They were divine My wife had her grilled cheese on sourdough bread with sharp cheddar and she said that it was perfect. The tomato soup according to my wife was outstanding. For the road, we got coffees to go, that were smooth , flavorful with great notes of chocolate and hazelnut We will be visiting this place again, probably very soon. I can't think of a meal with this atmosphere and perfect garden to table offerings that we've been to in a long while. 5 STARS!!! read more

Locals Farm Market - Table number 67 lol - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Poolesville, Maryland

LOVE this place! Freshly baked breads and super yummy entrees all come together at this Poolesville gem! The entire space gives off this artsy earthy vibe. Service is super easy. Just order at the counter. They give you a number and bring the food to your table. Lots of great tables outside. The indoor spaces looked good too, but we opted for outdoor dining since the weather was good. I had the caesar salad with grilled salmon. It was fabulous. Salmon can be touch and go a lot of places but it was spot on at Locals. My wife had the avocado toast on sourdough bread. Tons of avocado and crispy veggies on top. Lots of vegetarian/vegan option plus tons of stuff for carnivores to enjoy. The fried chicken sandwich and the steak and cheese looked great. Can't wait to try one (or both) on my next visit.! read more

DELICIOUS! We shared an egg dish and the French toast. The bacon and the sausage were decadent! The front of the building is deceivingly nondescript, but the inside is charming with little rooms, original hard wood floors, and beautiful art. read more

Amazing food. Been here three times now. Kabobs, Korean beef, and chicken tenders were great, would totally recommend!!

Went to eat here after playing Crossvines, fantastic food and great ambiance. Ordered the local burger and it was to die for, perfectly cooked and came out at the perfect time. In the summer I could imagine sitting outside here and it would be perfect. Must try spot and if you look at this and decide not to come here, F you. read more

A serendipitous surprise awaits in Poolesville. We'd never been to the town before, but happened upon Local Eats. More than a place with pre-packaged food, LE prepares food that would rival a 5 star restaurant (that's why it rates 5 stars!) The soups are larger portions and beautifully seasoned. I had the tomato soup, others in our group recommend the mushroom soup. The crabcake sandwich was cooked to perfection - not chewy or falling apart. Simpler fare like grilled cheese comes on sourdough bread making this the heartiest of meals. Top it off with bread pudding and you are filled and fulfilled. The one possible drawback is getting a table and waiting in line to order, but the food is prepared and delivered promptly. The rustic atmosphere adds to the authentic country vibe that Local Eats has going for it. Way to go out of your way to get some wonderful food! read more

Had no idea this place existed until I came here with friends. Driven by so many times, but a nice spot. You order at the counter and find a table. The outside area had heaters and semi-enclosed, so we sat in there since it was crowded. I saw a waiter bringing someone grilled cheese & tomato soup and I had to have it. Soup was very tasty and the grilled cheese was really decadent and huge. Ended up taking half the sandwich home. Would definitely return and try more menu items. read more

We have had breakfast, lunch at Locals 6-7 times since their opening. Great food and outside seating is great. Service is great. Looking forward to returning. A great addition to Historic town of Poolesvile which is growing at a rapid rate. Lee and Ernestine M. read more

Pretty lovely evening to be eating outside and enjoying some music. This is a very low key place. You get in line and place your order at the counter. You get a number and wait for your meal to be brought to you. Though service was great when ordering and the staff is super friendly, once you get your food, no one comes around after that. And this is not a place that one would expect that. They were having problems with making the milkshakes so I was disappointed I didn't get to try any. Apparently the ice cream is from South Mountain Creamery which I do like! Got the lemonade instead and it was fine. We got the crab cake sandwich and the bacon cheeseburger without the bun. Food was good. Fries were just okay. They were kind of limpy and unimpressive. I like my fries extra crispy. It started to downpour so we went inside to finish our meal. It was nice instead as well. We ate by the fireplace until everyone else decided to rush in as well as the musicians that evening. It got pretty crowded but we were ready to leave. Nice place to just hang out in the evening. read more

One of the best coffee shops we have ever visited. We came to this place after hiking in a nearby sunflower field. Even though the day was hot, sitting in their outdoor area felt quite cool because of the soft breeze. The trees and flowers scene is marvelous. Their coffee is great. I also ordered their Avocado toast, which was the best I have eaten anywhere. Even though this place is located some 40 minutes' drive from our home, I am confident we will come again. read more

This is the cutest little place in town. They have a market and fresh bread, plus a full breakfast/lunch menu. The seating outside is nice and they do takeout as well - I've only ever done takeout. The chicken and waffles are my favorite but they have a delicious chicken Caesar salad as well. The drinks are on the smaller side, but sooo good. I've had their vanilla milkshake and a chai latte so far. The fries are a bit soggy, but everything else has been excellent! They are pricier than some other places in the area, but worth it, since their ingredients are high quality. I definitely recommend. read more

Glad I stopped here. Food was surprisingly good, and there's a cute little market attached too.

It's a good sign when there's a ton of business. This morning tho place was packed! I got a recommendation from a friend. It was really good. They had an enormous selection of cold beverages. The employees were really friendly. I got a Korean beef bowl (that's not what it is called on the menu but you should be able to figure it out) my Aunt had the salmon. The food was delicious. I don't have a lot of occasions to go to Poolesville, Maryland, but when I do, I'll try to come back to the Locals Farm Market read more

This restaurant is a real country treat. The restaurant offers a large shaded outside dining area. The inside of the restaurant is totally charming with local artists paintings displayed on the wall. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. It was served with an ample serving of delicious potatoes and the sandwich had a generous serving of bacon. I totally recommend this restaurant when you are in Montgomery County, Maryland. read more

Can't get enough of this place! the presentation of the food is amazing, and the taste is phenomenal! The service is great!!! Order anything from breakfast to dinner, coffee (hot or cold),find homemade pastries , bread and order a beer! I just love the atmosphere; with my husband, family or friends! Locals has become my go to, at least once a week. It feel like you are a millions miles away. You can also find fresh produce and art from local artists, as well as live music. love it ! We even bring our backgammon to play a quick game. read more

Always fresh and fabulous for breakfast and lunch. Great place. Everything here is flavorful. Service is always great as well

A cute place to grab some waffles and coffee on a weekend morning. This is a small outdoor cafe and restaurant in the Steven's House, an 1840s home sandwiched between the John Poole House and the Old Town Hall, in the heart of Historic Poolesville. This business is open on weekends only. They have several outdoor tables in the shade to enjoy your food. We came here to get a chocolate milkshake which had one shot of espresso, a couple of sourdough pretzels, some bread to take home and some LIEGE waffles. To explain the waffles aren't the type to eat with syrup they're already sweet enough and they're nice and handheld. They also sell fresh local produce like a small farmers market but the draw really is the baked goods. They have a signature sourdough bread which is pretty good. You can also order ahead for curbside pick up or contactless delivery on Saturdays. Lots of parking is available, so stop in if you are up in Poolesville on a weekend. read more

Food- So good! We got the caprese panino (with bacon) and unearthly good veggie chicken bowl. The BREAD on the panini is so delicious and it's packed full of garlicky pesto goodness, complimented by fresh thick slabs of colorful tomato. The only improvement I'd make to it would be less dressing on the salad that comes on the side. The bowl (with sesame ginger dressing) was SO tasty and packed with veggies. I'm not sure how they marinate the chicken but it's crazy delicious. Drinks- We got an iced apple cider, maple latte, and pumpkin spice milkshake. All 3 were super tasty and came out really quickly. I'd highly recommend all 3 drinks! Service- Staff was really nice and the food came out quickly. There is water downstairs so you're responsible for filling your own water. No one came to take our dishes away but we didn't mind. Ambiance- This place is so cute! It's kinda like a house. It has a ton of outdoor, indoor first floor, and upstairs seating. There's lots of natural lighting and comfy places to sit. It's a casual cafe-type restaurant perfect for lunch, a meeting, or the family! read more

Some friends and I stopped here for a bite to eat after wrapping up a ghost tour next door. They were closing up for the evening, but said it was totally fine for us to sit at the outdoor tables. We grabbed a bunch of snacks and hung out for a bit, enjoying the fire pit and live music. The food they had was fresh and delicious, and there was a ton of variety and great snacks from brands I haven't seen before. Can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely blown away! I live in the area and had just started coming here for coffee at the end of summer. My best friend came up for a day trip and we decided to come here and have lunch. Never did I expect it to be this good!! The cider was pretty basic but good, the pumpkin spice milkshake was crazyyyyy. It tastes like pumpkin bread in drink form!!! The maple syrup latte w was also incredible but this, the milkshake, and cider are seasonal items. As for the food. Wow. My best friend got the salad and it was so tasty, the chicken was cooked perfectly and the dressing was light and perfect for the dish. My sandwich was incredible. I was craving a pesto mozzarella tomato sandwich and it gave me everything I wanted. The balsamic glaze and added bacon was fire. It was a tiny bit oily but that didn't bother me because the bread was crunchy and thick. The meal came out pretty quickly too! We didn't go at a busy time, so this may have been the reason for that. There is seating upstairs, ground level, and outside! The staff is always nice and never fail to be welcoming. Overall, I will definitely be coming back for another meal, not just coffee! I 100% recommend trying this place!!! read more

Even if Locals Farm Market were not just up the road from us, I would travel across the County for this place. The food is wonderful, the Locals staff is friendly, engaging, and polite. Dine inside, dine outside, or order carry out - you cannot go wrong here. There is another restaurant in Darnestown that boasts they have Maryland's best chicken sandwich. Obviously, the judges never tried the Locals Farm Market "Fry Me Some Chicken Sandwich" because this is THE BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH AROUND. Another favorite is the twist on a BLT, we call it THE BLAST as it features bacon, lettuce, avocado, salmon, and tomato. This too is a keeper. read more

Great atmosphere, good service and food, and friendly staff. Can't get any fresher than farm to table. We even bought some bread and tomatoes to take home. So flavorful! We had placed our order and realized we didn't get a biscuit for our little one. So got back in line and accidentally ordered a brisket plate instead of the biscuit! When our order came the wait staff heard our predicament they gave us a biscuit to appease the little one! It totally made our day that they would do that! Food was great. The hamburger was still juicy even though we got it well done (have a little little so can't do my rare anymore for a long while ). Fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. They must be double fried! Yum! Lemonade was to sweet for me but nothing that adding more water didn't fix. Everyone else thought it was fine. I just don't have a sweet tooth no matter how hard I try! Fried chicken breast was very juicy and well seasoned. I'm not one for Belgian waffles (again too sweet especially with the sugar crunchies), but my partner really liked it, and it didn't taste like the prepackaged ones you buy from Costco (plus it was twice the size of those warehouse ones!) We had left overs cause we unexpectedly order another meal (aka brisket sandwich which came with onion strings and watermelon!) so that became lunch the next day. It's a beautifully updated building with lots of nooks and spaces to sit and relax, and the art work on display was awesome. The top floor has a tucked away room for kids to play and draw and just run a muck in, too! Definitely a great place to hang and have good food! Oh they also have Sriracha on the tables for those who need a spicy kick! Will definitely be on our weekend rotations for a long time! read more

This a bistro and art gallery. The food is from local farmers and they insist on supporting small local businesses. Try the beet salad or the pastry items. They can make just about any espresso drink you can think of. Love this place . The rotating art exhibit upstairs features art for sale and changes every six weeks. This place has a cozy vibe that's lost on most modern coffee houses. It's great for socializing but it's quiet enough downstairs that many people work on their computers there. Try sitting outside now that it's getting warm out for lunch or tea with a friend. I often take my son or meet up with pals here. Highly recommended! read more

Locals is awesome! I'm very passionate about healthy food so it's about time someone came up with the concept of sourcing quality foods from our surrounding farms. I love the menu options. The chicken Caesar salad is one of the best Caesar salads I've had lately and it's has become a regular order. The burrata with fresh tomatoes was delicious and so refreshing. I tried the ratatouille, it was really good too but definitely on the spicy side. I often stop by to get iced tea and coffee as well. Great concept, friendly people and I love how it blends a modern coffee shop feel with the historic element of the old house they took over. This is a local staple! read more

Beautiful outside dining in a garden setting. Great quality food at a reasonable price

The perfect place to grab coffee to catch up with a friend, eat breakfast/lunch with loved ones, and also to pick up farm fresh produce for the week! The architecture of the building is beautiful and so is the outdoor patio dining area. I love this place so much and wish it was around when I was growing up in Poolesville! The farm fresh ingredients to table concept is exactly what Poolesville needed in the Agricultural Reserve - finally taking advantage of all the fresh food our area has to offer!! Number 1 spot I would recommend to someone visiting town. read more
