    To the right of the entrance. Some pretty neat decor placed on the wall.
    Jayden D.

    A low key yet lively looking spot just 2 blocks past the A train stop at Rockaway and Liberty Ave. I only saw two guys at register but they were very accommodating and took my order with relative ease. Ordered a grilled chicken lunch special and a chocolate waffle dessert. The guy even asked if I wanted Ice cream to go with it, I decided to pass but I appreciate him letting me know that was an option, unlike a certain burger joint that failed to do so a few months ago. Took the meal about 7 minutes to arrive at my table and my lunch entree was plated very well. The Grilled chicken looked good and was just as tender as well as the brioche bun it came in. The fries were crisp and salted evenly to the point that it was balanced well between not too much and not enough. The lemonade I got, although it could've been a tad more sweeter, hit the spot. The chocolate waffle was also delightful too. Kinda wish I did go with ice cream to offset the total warmth of the waffle that melted the whipped cream on it rather quickly but otherwise it definitely tastes as good as it looks. This was well worth the time and money spent here and I will return here soon.

    THE LOCAL COBB salad. Churros with chocolate sauce.

    I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful Cobb salad that truly exceeded my expectations. The freshness of the ingredients was immediately apparent; each bite was bursting with vibrant flavors. The crispness of the mixed greens, combined with the sweetness of cherry tomatoes and the crunch of cucumbers, and avocados created a refreshing base. I order "The Local Cobb with chicken." The presentation was also noteworthy, with a beautiful arrangement that made the salad not just a meal, but a feast for the eyes. This salad is a testament to how simple ingredients can come together to create something truly special. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a healthy and delicious option! Please order from this place. Their attention to detail is immaculate. I ordered through UberEats, it was my first time ordering from this establishment and definitely will NOT be my last. Salad is huuuuge and can feed two.

    A deli type arrangement and restaurant. There's a food counter on one side and seating area everywhere else. If you eat in, a server will come to your table and take your order and service you. Our server was very nice and friendly. We ordered two lunch specials. We both had a quesadilla and a side. My friend had the chicken quesadilla and salad and I had the mushroom quesadilla and a chicken and corn soup. The quesadillas are placed in a pita like pocket and are filled with nice amount of ingredients. The mushroom version had beans in it. The soup was thick and felt more like a stew than a soup.

    Ordered the Lamb burger medium well and it was perfectly cooked . The bun was toasted to perfection and had such a nice light crunch. Appetizers were all amazing; Cajun fries Tokyo fries Shrimp Tempura Guac n chips Mozzarella sticks Everything was made fresh and came out hot ! Service was so great that they even let us know the Lamb burgers were being delivered as we arrived because they knew that's what we really wanted . So of course we waited and were not disappointed ! Our server Edwin and the rest of the team is warm and friendly . The vibe is great and the place is clean .

    Medium rare?
    Rick H.

    Ordered 2 turkey burgers and two beef burgers. One medium rare and one well done. Order was for pick up. Got home, started to eat the mid-rare burger and I noticed it was bright pink and the temperature was off. I broke it in half and it was raw and cold. I called the restaurant and he said to bring it back. Got to the restaurant then had the audacity to tell me "medium rare is supposed to be RAW." What? You could literally smell the ground beef wasn't cooked. Got a call while talking to the guy and someone's turkey burger was burnt! Showed him a picture and he said that's how it's supposed to be cooked. What?! It was burnt and the person said it tasted like a dirty grill. They said I'd have to pay to remake the burgers. Ridiculous. The audacity- he said I ate half the burger and wanted to get a free meal. I took a bite and then spilt it down the middle and then split the raw patty to show them. Rude service and horrible food.

    We were in Queens for the day and famished after a lot of running around. When we were on our way home, we decided to look for a spot that we could grab some take out to bring with us. We happened upon TLP and the menu looked promising. We tried to order from their website but it was down so we ordered in person. When I inquired about the website, the guy at the front said that it was down all morning but right as I was ordering in person, they got it back up. I was a little bummed because having to order in person meant we had to wait for our food AND we missed out on the 10% incentive to order off their website. Luckily, I always look at the positive: the opportunity to order some soju lemonade while we waited. The decor is cool. They have an eclectic assortment of Funko POPs. I recognized Game Of Thrones and Star Wars bobble heads. It was pretty empty but they have plenty of seating, both indoor and out. The outdoor seating is covered and they have a cute green wall backdrop for brunch pics. They have one bathroom which is pretty spacious and very clean. We did have to wait long. They packed up everything we ordered very neatly and it was all still warm once we got back home to the Bx. Everyone was happy with their order but I did have one issue with something I got, as I will explain below... GRUB RUNDOWN Shrimp Tempura - these were amazeballs! They're huge and they survived the trip. Tempura-fried Jumbo shrimp with spicy may, tempura sauce (tasted like hoisin) and scallions. I wish I had two orders because they were that good. Soup Bowl - they had New England clam and Chicken & Corn. I opted for the Chicken and Corn. It was ok, thick and not watery at all, but lacked a bit in flavor. Beer Battered Fish & Chips - these were less than ok in my opinion. I got onion rings instead which were very good but the fish was bland. They are small strips of fish so they were somewhat dry as well. I was also missing the tartar sauce they were supposed to come with so I was bummed about that also. I ended up just making some tartar sauce for it myself since I had all of the ingredients to make some. These were truly disappointing, considering I was thinking about getting their lamb burger instead. The Local Press Burger - hubby got this burger and they were very cognizant about maintaining the integrity of the food. It's a basic burger with cheddar, bacon, lettuce, onion, pickles and tomato. They kept the sauce on the side and the truffle parm fries were really good. The "secret" sauce tastes like any other burger house sauce but it does the job. Roadside Burger - my son opted for this one. It has American cheese, caramelized onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles and their secret sauce. He also added a fried egg and liked it. Loaded Fries - my son got these fries with his burger. They were definitely loaded with cheese, bacon, scallions and sauce. He liked them as well. Chicken Tenders - we got these for our toddler. The chicken pieces were pretty big a really crispy. I think they were a littlt too crispy for her but she ate some of it and I tasted them also. They were good. We got her BBQ sauce and fries to go with them and she liked it. Again though, we were missing the coleslaw that was supposed to come with the meal.

    TURKEY BURGER & SWEET POTATO FRIES
    Brie F.

    Looking for a new place to eat we stumbled across The Local Press. I placed an order for the next day via Uber Eats. We were sold on their sandwiches and decided to order a Turkey Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, Fried Chicken Sandwich with Onion Rings, and Mozzarella Sticks. First off let me say everything looked and smelled delicious. I also didn't know you could select the temp for a Turkey burger. My hunny asked for it medium well. My portion of onion rings was awfully sad. I had about four onion rings in various sizes. My chicken sandwich was on the spicier side. I was aware of the spicy Mayo but the brine used for the chicken was spicy as well. I wish there was disclaimer for this. I also asked for my coleslaw to be on the side, but they decided not to include it with my order. The mozzarella sticks were burnt. Oddly enough I received more sticks than I did onion rings. I wouldn't order them again. My hunny really enjoyed his Turkey burger. I concur it was tasty and his sweet potato fries weren't bad either.

    Best turkey I have had in awhile. I decided to order from here after looking through a few places and Local Press' food caught my eye. I am glad I ordered from them because the food did not disappoint. I ordered through Yelp and the food was ready and waiting when I got there. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. The menu is extensive so there is something for everyone

    Hot Honey CHICKEN wings & WAFFLES
    Liv B.

    It's been a while since I was last year and just leaving another review. Came on a Saturday night, wasn't too crowded. Had the Hot Honey Chicken Wings and Waffles and an order of the Tokyo fries. The chicken was delicious but all I tasted was the honey. Wasn't spicy at all. The waffles were also really good, don't know what's in the batter but it had a savory AND sweet taste to it before I even used the syrup or butter. Tokyo fries were freakin' awesome! Crispy fries, all the sauces made it come together so spicy and savory. Only cons were our server was not too attentive and always had his back turned when behind the counter. Hard to get his attention at times and then to get the check, took forever. It's not the first time we had him as a server. Also the bathrooms, disgusting. Probably haven't washed that floor since Covid or so it felt as my sneakers stuck to the floor.
