    Asian salad and broccoli cheese soup
    Jessica P.

    Do not eat here! Both my guy and I were sick this morning after eating lunch here. You walk in and it seems very clean and organized. I should have known better than to disregard the HUGE chunks of black mold that came out of the tea urn. I served myself ice from the soda machine. Then I proceeded to pour green tea into my cup for my beverage. Big black gunk poured out Into my cup. This was NOT tea leaves. I am positive! I told the cashier and showed her what I pulled out and squeezed it between my fingers. She apologized and gave me a new cup. I then opted for a Pepsi. We received our order and neither of the two employees came out to empty the tea urn and take it to the back to disassemble the spout and clean it. We ate our meal and still the tea urn sat on the counter for people to use. Not until we got up to leave and they asked how everything was, and we inquired about the tea urn, did they finally react. This was disturbing. I didn't think about it again. We went on with our day and I made dinner at home. Being in the food industry myself, I know how long it takes to react to anything bad you ingest. I am certain the ice bin and Pepsi nozzles are so dirty with black mold and this is what got us sick. I should have know better. The second knock to this establishment is that we attempted to have dinner the night before and arrived at 6:45pm. The web states they close at 8pm. When we arrived the two staff members had everything covered and said they close at 7pm. The window also states 8pm, but hey, who are we. The salad was good. The soup was thick like gravy and the sandwich looked NOTHING like the marketing.

    The Big Salad seems over priced for what you get. Yes, you can select your ingredients right in front(not sure how fresh the ingredients are). Service is so-so. The food is good, but nothing special. The dressing are different and not a wide range of selections .

    I was craving a salad so picked up some friends to try this place out. It was worth it. They have custom salads or you can make your own. They have the big salad or baby salad. The baby salad is big enough for 2 people. My husband got the Caledonia salad and he liked it...my son got the honey chicken sandwich and loved it. The tortilla soup was really good also. We will be back

    Spring is growing by leaps and bounds with new restaurants popping up every day! Here's why you should stop in to The Big Salad: 1. Have it your way! Take advantage of the build-your-own salad option and get all your favorite toppings in a baby sized (which is actually quite large) or big sized (enough salad to feed an island of rabbits) salad. Start with your lettuce choice: iceberg, spinach, or romaine. Or hey get crazy and get a mixture of lettuce! *My go-to salad is a mix of romaine and spinach, broccoli, carrots, onion, feta, almonds and bacon! Top it all off with the delightful ginger sesame dressing and you have a trophy salad! 2. Pre-designed salads: if you only have enough brain power to decide where you want to eat but not what you want to eat; grab a Pre-designed salad and enjoy your meal without the hassle of making several decisions. 3. Tomato Basil Soup, Mexican Tortilla soup, and broccoli cheddar...just ALL the soups! Can't decide what you want? The friendly employees will let you sample them! 4.Cleanliness: this is a brand new storefront in a brand new shopping center, so this place is impeccably clean! 5.Music: dine in and enjoy the lovely "dinner music" playing in the dining room. 6. Real plates & Real silverware: I tend to hate cafeteria style restaurants because it feels so wham-bam-thank you ma'am, but not here! The plate ware bumps this place up. Have you stopped reading yet? I would have...this is a novel. But seriously, go get a fresh salad. Treat yourself to a delicious soup. And meet the friendly employees eager to help you make the right food selection. *Bonus!* There is a rewards app for freebies and discounts. I got a free big salad during my birthday month.

Opened up the app and found this place and really glad I did. Great prices. Friendly staff. And really good food. It's subway style with picking what you want, after seeing a huge menu.

Caramelized Garlic Steak is my go to!! This time I changed it up a bit. Hold the rice, sub for arugula, add goat cheese, extra sweet potatoes (I have to share these with my dog lol), and HEAVY on the pesto! The picture doesn't do it justice. DELISH! I'm a stickler for customer service. It's just one area that I cannot fold on. They could definitely use some help in the speed of service department. The line was really long, and it took a good amount of time to order. Now, here is where I show Grace. I saw 6 employees: 2 prepping, 2 taking upfront orders, and 2 making to-go orders. Each employee was busting their butt to work as hard as possible without jeopardizing the quality of food. For that, I show appreciation! I love their Core Values!..."Think Sustainably: Make decisions that last longer than you!" This spoke volumes!!! Often we want quick fixes, or instant gratification. It's important to pause, self reflect and implement concepts that promote long lasting change!

They have a good sized menu as well consisting of apps, salads, bowls, entrees and wraps. Of course, they are family friendly and offer kids meals too. I chose the steak entree since it comes with 2 sides of my choice as opposed to the braised beef which just comes with rice and beans....for the same price. I read they are known for their olive oil lemon cake, if there is such as things as a healthy dessert. I was very impressed with the meal and it seemed to be a pretty healthy choice at such a good price point. The steak was real slices of lean steak that actually tastes like a steak and not rubber. Fruit cup was very fresh and way better than any I've had at other restaurants lately. I wasn't a big fan of their teas, but they're gonna take some getting used to. The olive oil cake was tasty just a little smaller than I had imagined.

Having worked in restaurants for seven years, I know what great service and attention to detail look like, and Local Table delivers both every time. The staff always makes me feel like family, and Emerson, the owner, and Robert consistently stop by to say hello and make sure everything is perfect. The combination of outstanding food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes Local Table one of the best dining experiences in The Woodlands. I highly recommend it!

    We intended to go to Charm Thai over the weekend and parked at Local Table by mistake. We returned…read moretoday to correct the error. The outdoor patio looked pleasant. We did not sit there because it was hot. We sat indoors. It was just me and my child. Our waitress did not mention that kids (12 and under) eat free all day Mondays (and 10 am - 12 noon on weekends). I learned this from reading Google reviews after we had already ordered. After I asked, she confirmed the promotion and allowed us to add a kids meal since we had already ordered an adult entrée, which is the required condition. We ordered a kids' pizza. You can pepperoni for $1 but it's a free add on Mondays. Not gonna lie, pizza tasted off. Kid said it and I ignored her. Then I tried it and ack. We brought the rest home and stuck it in the fridge but it tasted even worse the next day. Tossed in trash. Service required frequent prompting. Like pulling teeth. I had to ask about the drink included with the kids meal. And yes Milk is an option. I also had to ask about the cookie that is supposed to come with the meal. We did not receive one. She said they had chocolate chip only as oatmeal and sugar cookies were gone. I said fine. We never got anything. So I went to the take out stand and we were told they were out of cookies. But they offered us a small brownie instead. Unfortunately however it contained nuts. For an appetizer, we ordered the cast iron spinach artichoke dip. The chip‑to‑dip ratio was not balanced. We ran out of chips way before the dip was gone. We also ordered the cast iron skirt steak (yes lots of cast irons). I requested medium rare. It arrived medium well and slightly tough however. You'd think they could easily tell this since they slice it all up before serving. It was not seasoned, but presumably that is because it is intended to be used with the chimichurri sauce provided. No salt on the tables. Overall, the experience and the food were marginal and borderline acceptable, but definitely unremarkable. Service is another story however. She was nice, just not very good at her craft.
