I got the crispy duck wings (and do not know why I didn't take a picture ) but they were very crispy and very good. They came with 2 sauces, which I did not try because they said they were a bit spicy and I don't like spicy, but they were plenty good on their own. I ordered the One Bad Pig with a side of sweet potato fries and of course had to get an extra side of tator tots because I love them. The burger was very good and juice, hard to eat because it's so big, but I managed to do it. The tots were crispy just like I like them and the fries were your typical sweet potato fries but very good. The service was attentive and good and it seemed to be a local crowd and was a nice vibe. It is off the beaten path so not too touristy but the locals know about it so it gets crowded. I highly recommend this place for a burger if you are wanting one!!

**** Review 170 ****…read more This place has become a regular for me and it's all because of the wings. They are THE BEST wings in St. Pete hands down! Crispy, juicy, tender, saucy deliciousness. If you just want some of the best wings you've ever had then you need to stop by. But, wings is just one of the items that are great. Their burgers are second to none! So many options, with so many toppings. Burgers are HUGE, juicy, well seasoned. Everything from tenders to peanut butter on a burger....you have to try it! Hot dogs are good too, they're fried so you get a nice crisp snap with every bite. Their sides are always delicious and great beer selection. And everything is reasonably priced for being in St Pete. This place is narrow, but long with seating in the back for larger parties, so it can get crowded. Staff is always really nice and ready to give you recommendations. If you're looking for a great night of wings, burgers and beers with your friends then this is your place.

That's all I had, but am hoping the rest of the food is just as good. In addition, the place is super clean which I oddly noticed. Tons of TVs and would be an awesome place to watch sports. I'll be back next friday.

They're loud, the patrons get rowdy, the waitresses are tougher (and definitely hotter) than me, and if it's not a Boston or New England team, I simply don't care. BUT... Localz changed my mind. Either I'm evolving, or Localz is just operating on a different level entirely. First off, our server- pretty sure her name was Haylee- was an absolute sweetheart. Warm, welcoming, and somehow managed to brighten up one of the most miserably rainy afternoons of my winter. She recommended the Steak & Cheese Tots for me and the Porky Pig Tots for my buddy. And listen... I've been eating tater tots since my juice-box years, but these? These were the crispiest, most perfectly executed tots I've ever had. Not one soggy tot in the entire mountain. It was like the Michelin Guide of tots. Localz is now the gold standard, and everyone else is a distant second. Sorry, I don't make the rules. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, but as far as St. Pete sports bars go? Localz is officially my new go-to spot.

It appeared on at least four or five of their many televisions. There were also several other football games on. It is definitely a divey sports bar. We did not get food. We got a high top and there was a server that came around and took our drink order. The stools are metal and do not have backs. It was great for what we wanted. The drinks are very affordable.

Not much going on between 2 buns. The bread was mush. I'd recommend that they toast the bun to give it some texture.

I genuinely like this place, but my latest visit was a gentle reminder that even the greats have their off nights. We grabbed a spot on the outdoor patio, which is great because there are tons of TVs playing sports to keep you entertained. And you're going to need that entertainment, because the vibe this particular evening was heavily operating on "island time." I started to wonder if our server had to physically row to an island to get our order. It was a very long wait just to be acknowledged, and an even longer wait for drinks. Funniest part? My beer arrived well before my water. I was incredibly parched, and while I appreciate a cold brew, I didn't exactly want to shotgun my beer just to survive the drought. The tap water finally made its grand, triumphant entrance a solid 20 minutes after we sat down. When it came time to order, we met the Upcharge Enthusiast. Here's the deal: burgers come with rice and beans by default. If you want Bob's fries, that's a $2 upcharge. I tried to shoot for the stars and upgrade to onion rings. The response? A firm, almost offended no. "Those are an appetizer," I was informed. Honestly, our server seemed to derive a bizarre, villainous amount of joy from telling me things were an upcharge. Hey, whatever brings you happiness, just take my two dollars and make the fries happen. After the drinks took a serious scenic route, the food came blazingly fast out of the kitchen, but when it finally arrived...wow. The burgers here are absolute behemoths. You literally have to unhinge your jaw like an anaconda to take a bite. I have to admit, they are undeniably amazing. One bite almost makes you forget you spent the first half of the evening contemplating drinking water out of a patio planter. Pro-tip: Bring paper money! They give you a nice little discount if you pay in cash. Overall, I still really like this joint. Every restaurant is allowed to have a rough service night every now and then, and this just happened to be one of them. I'll definitely be back although I just might pre-hydrate in the parking lot next time.

Salad and wings were pretty good but neither the best there are in St. Pete. Overall service was attentive but they were very busy so it was rushed and it felt that way.

I will probably bring some out of town buddies here at some point but my lady and I will not be making it a regular stop on the rotation. Feels like more of a guy's bar that's just a fun place to hang out and drink beer.
