I opted for the Vicious which is a cheddar jalapeno biscuit, crispy chicken, maple sausage gravy, cowboy candy which is like sweet grilled jalapenos and syrup. Normally,my breakfasts are not so hearty but this was a delicious treat. I also opted for a loaded bloody mary which was solid. This is the kind of spot where you pay at the counter and they bring your food to your table. It's casual, service is friendly, and the dish was under $13. The spot has ample parking and is pretty spacious as well.

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.

The line was exceptionally long, to the point that traffic was honking at waiting cars who were sticking out into the road. They do have a great array of sauces and food options, but the product was sorely lacking. The chicken strips were a little undercooked, and there was a super long hair cooked into the breading of one of the strips. Also, I don't know how it could be so bad, but the Coke has a gross chemical taste. I want to try another location to see if this was just a bad location.

I ordered a burger, fries, and a drink and the total came up like I'd also accidentally purchased the building. A regular fry shows up in a cup and a bag because they give you roughly a bushel of potatoes -- which is great, except I'm pretty sure I'm paying per potato. I always walk out happy and then immediately do quiet math in the parking lot wondering what just happened to my paycheck. Worth it once in a while. Just don't make eye contact with the total.

It's a nice break away from all of the local options (don't get me wrong... those are amazing for sure). But if you just want a regular burger with a variety of toppings, you want some good fries - especially the Cajun fries, and you want reliable and quick service and this is the place to come. Pretty much the only drawback is it can be kind of hard to turn into the parking lot and parking seems tight. But this is more about the location less about the place itself. I've never had anything but quick and good service here over the years. And props to them for being open on Fourth of July!
