Been here quite a few times - always spend time at the Local when I visit Grayland. Everyone is friendly and the food is good. Stopped in recently and saw they have all new comfy chairs, barstools, and carpet which looks really nice. We had the oyster burger with macaroni salad that was excellent and I had the local shrimp salad which was wonderful. read more

Stopped in this popular local bar while staying in Grayland beach rental. Some friends stopped by so we went here seeing on Yelp they had several great options. We ordered the breasted fried chicken and steamed clams plus fries and clam chowder. Everything was tasty. The clams were good but for $22 they were really tiny and didn't seem like a pound but enjoyed. Fries are krinkle cut, not our favorite but ok, clam chowder good but potato's needed smaller cut and prefer creamier but good flavor. The chicken was the hit, crispy skin juicy tender meat. I could have had another thigh, sooo good. Service friendly, it was a Tuesday evening so it got really busy for Bingo that starts at 6:30. read more

Relaxed & simple. Bingo night draws a big crowd. As you might expect, their potato salad is really good.

Unpretentious place with solid eats and great drink selection. Staff are super friendly and slightly surly in a fun way if that's possible. I always look forward to a stop here when camping or out for a clam dig. read more

We were staying at Grayland Beach State Park and visited the Local Bar & Grill twice. Our server the second time, Madison, was so kind. She helped me learn how to play the Punchboard games they have for food prizes, answered all my questions. Also the food here is amazing. The first night we had chicken gizzards and a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. The second visit a taco salad and their "Local Burger". It was all perfectly cooked. Ate all of it and completely forgot to take pics the first night, but I remembered the second night. Good local beers on tap. Small community feel. Definitely recommend. read more

Great service great food. Many items on the menu are homemade. This is not ordinary bar food. Jeremy Is awesome at his job. Super friendly and he is what serving people is all about. Very welcoming! read more

Great food, great prices, great service, a whole lot of fun! My in-laws have a cabin in Grayland and this is their favorite spot, especially because of the pull tabs. The food never disappoints and it's always great fun. I attempted the burger challenge and failed (see the remains vs the start). But I will triumph eventually. read more

Been here multiple times and always great food! This is a busy community bar/restaurant. Food is always served by a friendly staff member. Friendly people surround the room. Specials daily including evening dinnertime. Always been happy with what we've ordered, served hot & beer is cold. Stop in and enjoy your meal. Please support the local businesses as you enjoy your travels. read more

I love this place! We just moved to Westport WA from Wyoming and the people at Local were so nice and friendly! And the Hawaiian burger and shrimp salad were amazing!! So happy have a local place to go to! read more

Stopped for fresh dipped fish and at 5 pm they were all out . This is the Friday special but must only have enough fish for possibly five customers . I actually really like this place but if having a Friday special please be able to handle customers after five. I still recommend this place as clam chowder is fantastic . read more

All you expect from a bar & grill. Good food, good ambiance, and good beer. I ordered the double burger -- it was big and well prepared -- and the onion rings were a 10/10. Good experience overall. read more

Always a favorite when in the area! Drinks are stiff and food is always great! Staff is friendly! Whenever we visit we HAVE to get the chili burger! This time I ventured out and got the oyster burger, also VERY good! We may not be local but we're mad to feel as if we were! read more

Stopped in during digging season for dinner. The food (burgers and fried oysters) were great. What wasn't was Angel- the server. Rude and quite honestly shouldn't be the face of any business. read more

Good food and friendly service. Good selection of beers. The best restaurant in Grayland. Full of local color!

We enjoyed our lunch here. Friendly servers, good food, good prices. Classic dive bar comfortable and clean. read more

Food was amazing. The reason for the three stars was the noise. Only one waitress. She was okay. Not great. It was more important yelling back and forth with her drunk friend. They were so loud that our meal was ruined. I have been coming here at least once a year for over 50 years. I will never be back!!!!!! read more

This was our first time in the area and we were here for the weekend. Like other reviewers have said, it's the only option in Grayland itself. Pretty typical bar food. I had a cheeseburger and a side salad. Burger was pretty good, salad was really lame. Probably should have just went with fries or tots. My boyfriend had the special which was fish and chips with a cup of chowder for $15.99. What a good deal. Although it looked pretty basic, he really liked it and ate everything on the plate. Service was very slow but it was a Friday evening and the place was really busy. Although the server was nice enough, the clientele here was a little rough. Everyone seemed to know each other so we were the obvious out of towners and since we weren't in MAGA shirts, we didn't really fit in. All in all, a pretty typical dive bar, with a conservative and right leaning clientele of regulars. read more

The BEST Bloody Mary I've had in a looooong time. Food is above average for a tavern. Would definitely return!

Honestly I want to gatekeep this spot but the food is absolutely incredible. The folks here are some of the nicest I have ever met. Definitely wished I lived near here as we are not from WA. read more

We have been to the Local many times when we have visited Grayland always had a great experience and good food. Not really sure if the restaurant changed hands or if their staff just doesn't care about service. But something has changed. We got to the restaurant around 7pm on a Wednesday, nice crowd but not busy. We sat down and our server buzzed by us with menus. 10 minutes later she came by for a drink order. Once the drinks came she took our order. Pretty standard fare nothing special. Over an hour later we still had not received our food. She only came by once to ask if we wanted another drink and never came by to mention that our food would be delayed. Just for perspective, our daughter drove from Aberdeen, went to Aloha Alabama, ate there and drove to Grayland before we paid our bill for drinks and left. We along with another patron had the same experience. He left when we did. I asked when our food would be ready and was told 2 more minutes, 10 minutes later we were done. When I said we wanted our bill we were told they could box up our food to go. No thank you. We left. Won't be back! If enough people don't come back the Local will close. I know tourists suck but they help the local economy. read more

I was excited to try this place after reading the reviews, but should have wondered if it is 21 and over. We had two kids with us and we got turned away at the door. read more

We were camping nearby at Grayland beach SP & found this place for lunch. Very convenient location! Service was great. Ambiance was good and had several locals (ya think?) also getting lunch there. 21 & over, so no kids which works for us. Food was just ok. We shared an order of battered & fried oysters with fries. The fries were great, the batter on the oysters was way too thick and bready - not my style. We'll be back, but will order something different. read more

Abysmal experience. The word, "Sorry" was repeated throughout where explained to my family was the fact that the cook was injured and had a fill-in. While getting our order wrong we then had to wait until my sisters sliders were made as they did not make it to the to-go bag. So while waiting around the rest of the food got cold, with "sorry...sorry....sorry..." being repeated ad nausea which didn't make the experience any better. Finally when the food was brought back to our vacation home, that was en it went from bad to worse, here's a brief list: 1. My Mom's burger dip was bland, the juice (which should be the best part!) was tasteless. 2. My Dad's fish and chips as well as his seafood medley were just haphazardly thrown together. 3. My burger was nuked beyond all recognition with everything that makes The Local burger good was missing as it was cold and frankly, unappetizing. 4. My sister slider was the only good thing out of it-still hot as well as her fries as well. With an experience like that, and the reluctance at first to accept a discount instead of trying to charge us full price, it will be a long time before we visit Local's again. read more

We stop here most times we visit the beach! Great laid back local food and drink spot for adults. The place can get rally busy on weekends when games are on, but, there always seems to be room for a few more to squeeze in. We were here for the 30th Cranberry Fest and 14 of us came in for dinner before the Firefly Parade Saturday night. We all had a fun time! Our food came out quicker then we expected! Thank you, to all the staff, we know it was a busy time for you! read more

Really liked visiting here and playing on the pool tables. They were busy but made sure to check in and make sure we were taken care of. Only downfall was ai thought it was kind of expensive . We will be back though :) read more

I read several reviews complaining about this place being too focused on locals. This was not our experience, but if it was... well if I were the owner I would want to honor those who kept me in business when the tourists were gone. Oh the food was excellent too. If you come here, and you should, TRY THE FRIED OYSTERS. Oh my, they were good. read more

Worth the stop! Bring your appetite, the portions are large. I tried the Hawiian burger, it was juicy with a lot of flavor. This is truly a local hang out with friendly service and a fun welcoming atmosphere. read more

10/10 best burger I've ever had. Would recommend the bacon cheeseburger. Im also very fond of the prices. It's not bad for the portions they give. It's definitely a venture worthwhile. Not to mention the hours are open later than any other place. I've had a positive experience every time I go. read more

Like the name says, it's a nice home town bar with really friendly service and patrons. The fried oyster sandwich was great, good beer, strong drinks and good food make this a good choice if you're in the area. read more

Be prepared. While the food was cooked well, there are certain oddities. A $30 ribeye steak comes with ONLY some dry toast. No potato or vegetable. You will be charged extra for a salad. $3.00 for Cole slaw! Service was fine. However ...... read more

It is what it is, and you know what you're getting from a look at the exterior...if you didn't get it from the drive into town. This is NRA MAGA country, so there's gun-worship on the TV, and the general chatter from customers and staff alike will lean...erm..."not PC." Food is tasty and portions are generous. Pricing is nigh-to low. Staff and patrons alike are friendly and chatty (tho, I am white, and pass easily for straight). Decor is "free from my beer rep," but also given to attentive detail (new lights were being put up to illuminate the liquor racks while I visited). If you're rolling through and you need a meal and a beer...you don't actually have any other choices...but this isn't at all a fail. Just leave your pride hoodie in the car and try not to wince visibly when the dialogue leans MAGAty. read more

Great food and good service. Our friend did the burger challenge and got the fastest time!

Good old fashioned diner menu, and everything we ordered from there was top notch. Even in Aberdeen it was impossible to find a place worth eating at more than once, this location is worth the stop, always. read more

The "Local Burger" and the "Hawaiian Teriyaki" were both amazing! One of us got the tots, the other the fries so that we could share. Tough to say which was the best, tots may have eeked out the win but not by much! All was crazy good and can't wait until our next visit! read more

Awesome food very nice staff and with some old aberdeen decore. Would eat there again

Excellent local food and atmosphere. Angel served us and she had some amazing control of the whole bar. Quite impressive. We are staying in Grayland and wanted something close and good. Not a lot of options, but even if 10 options, this would have been the place. Quite impressed considering they could have offer lesser service and food being the only option local, but they don't. Well done!! read more

Great food! The captains plater was huge. Good service. Very friendly. Nice little local bar.

Very yummy. Great service. Good value. We have eaten here several times and it is consistently delicious, especially their bacon cheeseburger with tater tots. Make sure you get their BBQ/Ranch sauce with that too! read more
