    Crispy Chicken Sando with fries

    1st time here. Nice atmosphere & staff. The food & drinks were delicious we definitely will be back. It's a relaxing place, no need to dress up. They give complimentary warm corn bread . You will be charged 18% gratuity (2 of us). It's kid friendly. We came Sunday evening & it wasn't crowded. I already know what I'm going to try during my next visit.

    Happy Hour Sangria and a Cranberry & Orange Mule

    Good food, great service, and a reasonably priced happy hour are a just a few things The Local has going on. I popped in to The Local with one of my friends for a much needed happy hour and we were both in consensus we had to come back to try some other menu items and specials. $7 for the house Sangria and a mule of the day, was a great start to the evening and quite tasty. We both dined on the burger and fries and enjoyed the dish. I would've like a bit of seasoning on the burger patties and maybe a cheddar or American cheese, but that's my personal preference. I asked for the black truffle aioli on the side and that was definitely the way to go to really be able to taste the black truffle. And might I say the aioli was delicious. Our waitress was great and very attentive. The Local offers different specials on various nights and even does live music on Friday nights. This is a great place on the Avenue to enjoy dishes made with ingredients from local businesses and enjoy a delicious meal.

    Such a nice date night spot!! Lighting is dim but enough to where you can read the menu. There is an actual candle floating on water on the table which was a romantic touch. Hostess and waitress were very kind. Drinks and food came out fairly quick. The waitress made sure to check in on us and I didn't feel like she was overbearing. Honey bee 10/10: mild sweet drink. I've gotten this specific drink many times!! It's definitely my go-to Pork belly appetizer 11/10: the crispy onions on top give such a satisfying crunch. The pork belly itself was juicy. Meatloaf 10/10: does it look like a meatloaf? Not really. But it was so tasty and warm. Uneek Royale 11/10: this burger is messy. The sunny side egg was a perfect addition although again, the yolk bursting makes everything messy. I think that's to be expected. The bacon jam added some sweetness to the experience. The amount of bacon is more than enough. Overall, I would recommend this place and come back. I'm sure any dish from this place would get 10/10 from me.

    The service was pretty quick! I did walk right in and it was mostly empty around 11:30! It was pretty and clean inside! The crab chowder was so delicious ! My first time trying it! The chicken and waffles were huge and very very good! Would come back

    Espresso martini flight

    Stopped in for drinks. Had an espresso martini flight. Automatically yes. My friend got a smoked old fashion, smelled amazing, they said it tasted as good as it smelled. Bartenders were super nice. I wish they stayed open later, I would visit more.

    Kiwi drink. Spectacular

    Chicken Sliders
    Mike J.

    HAPPY HOUR!!!! We sat outside at the bar and had an amazing time. Didn't catch everyone's name that served us but Rachel was amazing. Atmosphere and customer service were perfect! We ordered the following: Peach basil smash: 10/10 best drink of the night Feeling spicy: 8/10 Paradise punch: 8/10 Baja bliss: 7/10 White sangria: 4/10 pass Old fashioned: 8/10 Chargrilled oyster no bacon: 9/10 PEI mussels no sausage: 9/10 loved the tomato. Fra diavola like. Local wings: 7/10 low count for price but not bad Chicken sliders: 10/10 the BEST sliders I've had.

    This food is always solid it might not always be a 10 out of 10 but if you want to place you're going to get quality good service and a nice atmosphere at all times you're going to come here to do it.

    If you are in the Towson area you have to stop by The Local! Everything was amazing. Even the water! Lol! The Steak Sando......Tendernism at its finest. The braised pot roast just melted in my mouth. The onions, the cheese, the aioli...... Oh My! I never knew lunch could be this good! The crab chowder was delicious. And of course you have to end with an espresso martini, now make it a blueberry one. The atmosphere is cozy and warm. Come on over to Eat Local, Drink Local and be Local. Enjoy!

    Oysters, fries, beer
    Thembi S.

    Really great service here! I sat at the bar and every person behind the bar took good care of me. Unfortunately I was less than impressed with the beer options, so went with a recommendation from one of the bartenders. I ended up ordering the oysters appetizer and a side of fries. The oysters were pretty bland, so I wouldn't get those again, but the fries were good. Payment was easy. I'd return, but would definitely order something else.

    Crab Cake Sandwich
    Kiera W.

    Delicious, flavorful, lump crab cake. The kale slaw and tomato paired very well on the sandwich. The fresh cut fries were cooked well and sprinkled with flaky sea salt, yum!

    Strawberry creme brulee
    Shirlonda S.

    Kendall server and Danielle (mngr) were both great and very accommodating. The egg plant sandwich was a bit too bready however Danielle helped the situation. The drinks and food were good. Staff excellent, pricing is fair and they have a happy hour menu, Wednesday happy hour is all night. Great atmosphere/ ambiance. Plenty of parking.

    Espresso martini
    Başak O.

    Nice ambiance! Pretty good foods... Nice services... . Actually I want to go one more time only thing is too far!

    Sat down at the bar, had quick service to get a drink. I ordered an orange crush that was pretty…read moregood. For dinner I had the shrimp salad sandwich and upgraded to fries. I had a hard time with the menu, prices were pretty high, this cost $18 (with the $2 fry upgrade) which seems high. The sandwich was packed with shrimp and everything tasted great! They have a ton of TVs so was great to watch some soccer. The bar area was pretty large so I didn't have a trouble finding a spot.

Such a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere! The salmon dish was amazing! I got the sauce on the side and ended up not eating it. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The rice was flavorful and the broccoli was steamed perfectly too. My child got the chicken tenders and fries. Was really happy about the pricing on the kids menu. We've been to restaurants lately where the prices are crazy overpriced for a child. I learned from our server that kids eat free on Saturday with an adult entree. Will definitely be back with the whole family for that perk! If you're not interested in sitting outside, the indoor dining room was really open and nice. The bar seemed to be a very popular section to sit! If I had to find some a needs improvement would be the cleanliness of the restrooms. Definitely could use a deep clean. Overall, really great place to gather with friends, family or even a date night!

    We were in the area and wanted some Mexican food so we decided to give it a try. When we walked in…read morewe were slightly greeted and sat down right away. Customer service was okay. The margaritas were a little weak. We had the chimichanga and nachos. Everything was big and hot! No complaints on the food. They had music playing so it made for a good atmosphere.

    Stopped in with our kids to grab dinner on our way home. The restaurant was loud but the atmosphere…read more(especially sans kids) was fun, upbeat, and even with little kids we could carry conversation. Our server was lovely and super attentive. We got margaritas: strawberry and house both on the rocks. They were great! My husband ordered a chimichanga and I have a trio of tacos. The kids had sliders and chicken nuggets. The nuggets were their favorite. They both ordered applesauce but the restaurant doesn't have spoons yet and they were out of plastic spoons. No biggie for us (we learned that forks do applesauce pretty well!) Dinner took a turn when we had a very, very large bug join us at the table. My husband killed it but it, in turn, killed our appetite. My kids who spotted it first, begged to leave, but we told them we should finish dinner. They then found another much smaller bug and at that point refused to sit down because they were convinced they were feeling bugs crawling on them (they weren't, but I also couldn't blame them). We had mostly finished so we headed out quickly. We got home and unfortunately the cherry on top of the experience: both got sick (we didn't eat lunch after a busy kids sports day), so it was obvious this was the source. His dish had chicken and steak and I had a chicken and a steak taco, so not sure exactly the overlap. We were super disappointed we have fond memories of Banditos in Baltimore from when we lived downtown. Would like to add the manager and server both were extremely attentive, apologetic and insistent that they discount our meal. We were appreciative they took the incident seriously and trust they'll resolve it.
