Their Chicken Meal choices DO NOT include one breast. They give you the crappiest pieces only. If…read moreyou want a breast, you have to pay extra, but they avoid telling prospective customers this information. This is done on purpose and is a clear sign of what you should expect. Dishonest service! Other places like Mary Browns or Lee's will happily "give" you two breasts at no extra charge. And they don't use 6 pounds breading on absolutely everything lol. I stopped ordering there over a year ago because they always get the orders wrong. Decided that I'd give it a try recently. Chicken exteriors were burnt to a crisp and inside, the meat was still pink. Called them back (as is always the case) and asked them to come and collect this terrible food and give me my money back. This place has been around for a very long-time, they've made tons of money from the surrounding communities, but for the past 5 years, have been extremely lazy and uncaring about their customers. Don't listen to any of the positive reviews. Avoid this place like the plague. If you want friend chicken, there are several places that are much more reliable, friendly, less expensive and you get more for your dollar. Overall rating -1

The burger and fries were solid (fresh toppings and a soft brioche bun). The hostess appeared quickly and was very kind. The server (Jenny) was outstanding... I'll say this again - outstanding.

The food came out soon after, was the perfect temperature, and she checked on us twice. Seeing my 4-year old so relaxed and us both willing to finish the whole plate is a true endorsement. We would absolutely come back. Thank you, Jenny!

We only got one beer and it was a beer type we don't often get, a Dunkel style beer with a funny name called Creepy Uncle. The logo is fun on the bottle and it will be a name for a beer I won't soon forget. With the beer in the flavor profile you can expect to find maltiness witha hint of vanilla and nuttiness with an appropriate amount of sweetness. The beer is smooth and light bodied. It's a good one to sit down to and relax when you have that desire to unwind.

I scanned the QR code on the table and chose to order the small original poutine and a beer. The beer came out instantly and the poutine about five minutes after. The poutine was delicious, it tasted like what I was expecting--fries, gravy and cheese. I thought the gravy would have a heavier taste but I was nice and light. The waitress was super helpful to answer any questions I had about the dish and also gave me recommendations on what to do in Victoria.

The vibe here alone would have been enough to draw us in, but the floral ambiance of the outdoor…read morepatio, the lighting, and the perfect summer evening weather made The Local our first dining choice for our weekend visit to Victoria! We found it randomly on our nighttime stroll through Bastion Square, although we ended up looping around the block to get a feel for the area before setting in. Despite it seeming to be completely full, we were seated immediately on an outdoor patio table away from the street, and our incredibly friendly and welcoming server Danika taking care of us for the rest of the stay. We ordered the Cowboy Steak Tacos, the Spicy Vegetarian Rockstar, and a London Pimm's between us, and were treated to a slowly-encroaching lightning storm in the distance, while we waited, which wasn't long! The Cowboy Steak Tacos were probably my favorite meal of the entire trip: peppery, spicy and lean, with a delicious savory sauce and pickled onions. Even my wife's tofu salad dish, something not usually to my liking, had a thick glaze of spicy sauce that gave it a more solid, inviting texture, and when coupled with the array of fresh veggies, really came together to create a dish even I would order. And my London Pimm's, despite being a gin drink which, again, not something I usually order, was light, crisp and refreshing, and something I'd like to have more often. I should try to get the recipe. I didn't see much of the interior, but I liked what I saw: looks like the kind of social bar, like the Dixie, that I tend to frequent back in Portland, although nicer: multi-hued neon lighting, loud music, multiple levels filled with party people. But the outside patio is really where it's at: I didn't see a restaurant with outdoor seating anywhere in downtown Victoria that could hold a candle to the charm of The Local, and it will always stand out in my mind as one of the city's premier outdoor dining option: a fantastic location at the base of the Bastion Square steps, and boasting an unparalleled ambiance. This is the sort of place I am going to want to return to again and again, whenever the weather (and the wallet) allows!

The quality of our meal was also excellent. The Heritage green salad was monstrous and easily satiated the lovely K and I. It was fresh, nicely plated and had lots of all the goodies mentioned on the menu. The Celery soup of the day was also great. We make it at home, so trying a slightly different version gave us some ideas to try. The chicken wings were on special and were plump, very nicely cooked and absolutely delicious. The pub itself is nicely appointed inside with a wide choice of sitting arrangements which we like. The place also has a significant number of folks that were greeted by name, which in our mind is a very good indication of a top quality establishment. One final thing was the washrooms were spotless and smelled nice and clean, from being clean, no perfumed cover up here. All in all one of best experiences for lunch in a long while. We will most certainly be back the next time we are in the Victoria area. Thank you!

The wings had some good size to them too I took half home for lunch. Also great cold. They're really sauces wings so if you're not a sauce lover ask for it on the side! Some of the better wings I've had, my only feedback would be I wanted them to stay a touch crispier out of the fryer. My husband ordered the special Oktoberfest spatzle - it was super creamy and oniony just needed abit of salt. The beer here was served ice cold which we loved and my virgin cesar was a winner! So good! Would definitely come back and try more wing flavours!
