South Common

Went for Happy Hour yesterday with a friend. Place wasn't busy but you could tell it was a place that others enjoyed. Got seat right away, their menu is easy to figure out and is clearly marked what is available for Happy Hour. We both got their Aperol Crush to start along with some Shrimp Dumplings and Hot Wings. The drink was great, totally something I'd love during the summer. It's also something I could see myself making at home. The dumplings were super tasty and loved the sauces. Wings were good just right, even dipped them into the dumpling sauce and it was very good. Ordered each a spiced Rum and coke for dessert ;) Would come back again for Happy Hour.

Had a great time at Local Eatery. Went for brunch a I will highly recommended. Fast and great service if you are their early, once it started to get busy; I am afraid to say that we waited for simple stuff. Simple stuff like coffee, milk and even my bill. This would be my only complaint and to be honest the food made up for it. Give it a try! Let me know your thoughts and keep on eating. #chicosreviews76

Update: we have been back twice since..and each time is amazing!!! We were there today and Kat served us. Great service and amazing good. The atmosphere was wonderful ( we went around 1130ish). Has a pub feeling but like a nice one. Staff were 100% amazing. From the host to every waitress. Our drinks were always full. They have a wide selection of food to choose from. Seating is booths and tables. Sports playing on the TV with music that is just loud enough to hear it but you can always have a conversation. The food!!!!! The food was spot on. From presentation to taste... it had it all. The wait times were good and pricing is fair. We will be back. Portions were also really good!.

I love Local’s ambience. Chill place for a date or to have a meal with friends or family. The Mains menu could see more variety. I ordered the enchiladas with blackened chicken which was a burst of flavour…very interesting. The drunken chicken was okay. Shrimp dumplings are a good bet too. For drinks I opted for Aperol Crush, which is a perfect summer drink. Service is quick and efficient. Went on a weekday for dinner.

Great place to hang out with friends , family, or your significant other.. the food and service were fabulous. The truffle mayo is to DIE for ! Our server was awesome , very attentive, warm and friendly , went out of her way to ensure we were taken care of. She also had little scribbly notes on the bill, small gestures like that go the extra mile. Definitely recommend this place just for the food and awesome service

Decent quality food. The menu is a bit limited for entrees as half of it is taken up by brunch items that I could not order, whereas the steaks/meat dishes I would love likely go next door to Montana's if I needed to. I may try the Nachos next time to get some variety. I ended up trying their curry so that I could get away from the typical hamburgers. Good selection of beer, however. I can only assume it's a rotating seasonal selection. Different varieties and even found a sour which is a rarity for a fan of sours like myself. They didn't bring a spoon at first so I asked for one but was given a dessert spoon. Luckily the server's colleague noticed the mistake and brought me a proper dinner spoon without my asking. Full points for attention to detail. Good job.

My friend and I wandered into Local because we wanted to try something different. I opted for the drunken chicken, and while it looked good, looks can be deceiving. I took one bit of the rice, and it was the worse rice I have ever eaten. It had a chemical taste to it which I could not get rid of. I turned the food back to the waitress and refused anything else. If you can't make rice properly, why would I trust anything else. The waitress was very nice and apologetic, but while good food can sometimes make up for bad service, good service can only do so much to make up for bad food.
