Virgil and Mitzi built the Railyard to be a place they want to hang out, and there are so many fun little touches that you won't even notice unless you're on the lookout. The beer taps are great, fresh, and changing. No old outdated kegs here. I have had wonderful beer from local breweries, and last night I had Hofbrauhaus, Hacker-Pschorr, and an Old Speckled Hen from England. What a treat! There is a large canned beer list as well. Service is friendly and fast, and then you can choose your seating option. Picnic tables, big plastic comfy chairs, seats by the fire pits, bar stools, high-tops by the food truck, or tables under the shelter. It really has that intimate yet expansive feel that I love. Add lights, live music on weekends, easy parking and what is not to love? Bring your kids and your dogs, they will have a blast too. Additionally: wine is available, mimosas on Sundays, food trucks most weekend evenings (follow them on Instagram to get the latest), and note that each restroom has it's own personality. Magnet poetry, anyone? As Elkin's only beer garden, it is the new social anchor for the west end of town.

Mama and I each got a flight and we were both able to find one or two that made us want a full pint. They have a good variety of styles to pick from, so anyone should be able to find something that suits their taste. They have a generous amount of outdoor seating as well as a stage where they host live music. Dog friendly too, which is a big check in the box for us. Top it all off with a food truck that was open when we arrived early in the afternoon, and these guys offer the three things we most appreciate in a brewery - outdoor seating, food availability, and most importantly, good beer! 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

The place was crowded and not a good place to go if you cant handle crowds. I was hoping for a good experience. - The one thing which affects my impression in a food establishment is the flavor, presentation and the variety. I chose the chimichangas with rice and refried beans. The chimichangas was supposed to deep friend per the menu. It was just a warm flour shell with beef in side covered in a cheese sauce. The rice was bland and the refried beans were as well. Overall i would not order that dish again. Overall the components were bland and devoid of the Hispanic flavors and seasonings I typically find in the dishes elsewhere.

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!

Bar tender provided menus, and checked back on us after a few minutes to take order. They've got a good menu with pizza, sandwiches, burgers, and a good variety of entrees (seafood, steak, chicken, pasta), basically, they've got something for everyone. Not being too hungry, but knowing we needed something, we decided to just split an order of the pulled pork nachos. The food came out fairly quickly, looked and tasted great. They did not skimp on toppings. Staff was friendly, food was good, only complaint is it was very dark inside, and surprisingly loud in the restaurant, I can't imagine being there with live music, I assume it would be impossible to have a conversation.
