Pretty excellent experience. Service was friendly and fast; my server was constantly accommodating and looking for ways to make my visit better.
I started with the Green Goddess Hummus. It came with too few of the baguette slices, but my server let me know I could get more upon request. It also came with roasted (then chilled?) carrots, which were an interesting touch, but the baguette was twice as good. I saved the rest of the hummus to finish with my fries.
Those fries came with the Hendrick Burger, which was cooked to a perfect medium. The flavors were huge, though there was a bit too much of the goat cheese for my liking. The fries were a bit heavy as well, which kept me from finishing them, but very tasty. Overall the food was worth the price and I only hope I find myself on this side of town to try more of the menu.
Really good food. Service a bit slow, but we were with friends and appreciated the extra time. Not too busy for dinner and has both indoor and outdoor seating options. Not pictured: side of sweet potato home fries, chocolate crème brûlée, and tiramisu, all of which were very yummy. The price for value is good. We will definitely be back.
Met some childhood friends because they live down the street from this restaurant and it was convenient. Our server wasn’t overly friendly and seemed bothered by anything we asked. I know it’s a hard job because I was in the service industry when I was younger but it requires patience and kindness. It was uncomfortable asking her for anything because she was really impatient, short and in a rush the whole time. It wasn’t that busy for Sunday Brunch. It was our first time here and she was bothered and impatient when anyone asked her about menu items or drinks. She was really nice towards the end when the check came. Who knows, maybe she was having a bad day. The food was good but the Bloody Marys had an odd, icy texture, almost like a slushie. I didn’t care for it and have had better. I consider myself a Bloody Mary connoisseur and I thought it had way too much Woistershire sauce in it. The color was odd as well. It’s a cute restaurant with great menu options.
My wife and I went here for a brunch date. It was such a cute place and a super super cute atmosphere. Staff was super friendly and awesome. Our food was fantastic and you get a large portion. We both got iced coffees and they were also very very good. Highly recommended this place. Super awesome and great food

Nice, cozy, small restaurant. Magdalene was a great server. The bloody mary is arguably the best flavor I've had, and I've had at least two dozen different Marys. A BM doesn't need a lot of fancy garnish to taste great.
Great spot. I'm looking forward to coming again. I had the avocado toast, and my husband had a burger with an egg and bacon. Good service, and I believe they were short staff but communicated the wait. I like that they did not over seat the staff. However, they definitely should have designated someone on bussing and wiping down tables... Including under them before seating customers. We are happy to wait for a great meal :)
The overall atmosphere of The Local was very welcoming! My server was attentive and even walked me through a few popular items because it was my first time! I ended up choosing the Portabella Mushroom Sandwich and it was sooooo good! I already want to go back and get it again!
Went on a lunch date here, lots of good-looking options. Casual but classy enough atmosphere (great sit down lunch option). The food that I had was good. The staff was quick and pleasant, laid back and patient attitude but still attentive.

Another fantastic brunch at this sweet restaurant. Food is so good. Love table service on the weekends. The drinks were tasty and well crafted. The wait staff was friendly and fun. Drinks included a mimosa, a purple dragon, a sangria AND a flight of draft beers. Was craving a fried chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint! So tasty with the pickles too! We also had the veggie and the egg with chips and one with grits. All very very good. This is a happy place for me!
Ordered through Ubereats. Requested no scallions and herb butter sauce. Still received both. Waffle and chicken was delicious. Glad they put the hot honey sauce for the chicken on the side. Wasn’t a fan of the sauce
Absolutely fantastic local spot! I found it while in Jax for work and had an amazing breakfast! Great food and super cute atmosphere.
This place is great. The coffee, food and service is amazing. The fried chicken is one of our favorite and combined with the waffle is to die for. The vibe here is super chill and there’s outside seating for those great weather days.
Just a simple waffle was amazing! Coffee is fresh brewed and the servers all are courteous, attentive, caring and always with a smile....awesome place to sit and dine along with any cocktail you would order...great place to enjoy and stay a while...just awesome.
One of the best spots in Jax, great food and great drinks and the happy hour deals can't be beat.
Food was amazing. We went for breakfast and had wonderful service. You will not leave this place hungry.
Had the Breakfast B.A.L.T this morning. Made with a basil aioli. It was delic! I love the atmosphere of this place & the service is always good.
