Local bar that has great food with great servers who like to chat and catch uo with you.. A bar on one side with no wait for seating and a restaurant on the other for a more close knit casual sitting area! Some nights they have concerts, some Thursdays they have line dancing. Whatever night you go you're gonna have a good time at this small town bar!
Normally I’d give 5 stars all around because everything is always beyond amazing! But unfortunately tonight, I had ordered the patio melt (cooked medium) and it came out to me basically charred to a crisp. The waitress (who we always have & is always just so wonderful) had taken my food back to let them know & they didn’t seem to care that I couldn’t eat what they failed to cook. But to brag on our waitress, she handled it so great! We love coming to Locals for the food & for the amazing wait staff! But to the cooks of this evening, please be mindful of how your customers want their food cooked. Because it wasn’t just my food that was poorly cooked, it was also my boyfriend’s food that was poorly cooked. I understand that y’all get busy, & I understand that wanting to rush through cooking someone’s food to get all of your orders out happens. But just take your time because at the end of the day, customer satisfaction is what keeps y’all in business.
such a great local bar with amazing beer garden, bands, bourbon, tequila, beer, huge selections at reasonable prices. this local bar is the real deal and not just for the locals!!!
I am a regular for Local's Restaurant Wednesday special, 4 piece fried chicken and thier Friday catfish curls special. Always cooked to perfection, and the side salad is amazing.
Service was friendly & attentive! The fried mushrooms were excellent! Very clean & well kept!
First time eating here today, I'm very Impressed. Bailey was an amazing waitress, very sweet & attentive. I Ordered the Catfish Curls(not catfish nuggets) with seasoned fries & Coleslaw. The breading on the cat fish was soooo good! My mother in law said her burger & Chips were very good as well and I'm glad we stopped by here everything was very tasty. I recommend the cheese curds for an appetizer they were so delicious. The atmosphere was awesome I loved the vintage industrial decor very neat!
Waitress was a sweetie. Food was great and came quickly. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area.
Good food. Large area for small town bar. Great service and vibe. Keg sink and urinal would be man cave next level.
