Came here for brunch on a Sunday. I am a huge fan of Farm 44 beef got the steak and eggs! Potatoes and fried hard eggs plus sautéed spinach was delicious. Spoke with Bobby about the char being a little much he accommodated me with a steak cooked on flat top rather then open flame. Absolutely fantastic!!! I will be back service was amazing line moved fast. This place is busy on the weekends! Strawberry lemonade was delicious!! Amazing ambiance and super customer service. Once again Bobby was such a kind soul and made sure everything came out perfectly!!! Thank you local foods read more

This is a top favorite of mine,I've been a regular for over a year and they never disappoint I bring my friends and family and they've all loved it, I love that they use local and fresh ingredients and you can tell in the quality of the flavor and the richness. The drinks are also good coffee and the bar section is solid. I used to finish my running (walking trail right in front) and stop by for a coffee or full breakfast. The patio area is my favorite if Houston's weather is blessing us I'm always sitting outside I usually get the CRUNCHY" CHICKEN sandwich with either side of Pozole or the chips so crispy and made in the moment. I've had other items the burger the salad the salmon they've always been fees and flavorful, I cannot recommend one thing because everything tastes great!

Healthy options and the chicken Caesar wrap is something I'll crave on a regular basis. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place with a nice ambiance and looking for healthier lunch options. Every employee was attentive and so friendly. I'll definitely return! read more

Love this place! Absolutely yummy food! Parking is very slim but worth the trip! They have wine you can buy by the bottle inside and they even have gluten free options for dessert ! The restrooms can get hot and music isn't too loud . They have a great outdoor patio and it's a walk up order restaurant no servers! read more

Came here for a light lunch at Local Foods and it was the perfect spot for a relaxed Sunday afternoon. I ordered the crunchy chicken sandwich turned into a salad along with the texas bombshell chili. The salad was super fresh and light--perfect for a sunny day--and the chili had great flavor with just the right amount of heartiness without feeling too heavy. Service was friendly even though it was a busy day with lots of families and pets around. We sat outside on the patio, which made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable. I also loved the area--there was a farmers market happening right outside, so we got to walk around afterward and enjoy the neighborhood. Definitely a great casual spot for fresh food and a laid-back vibe. read more

I liked this spot. It gave me cafe vibes and a good place to get lunch at with a friend or even by yourself. The place was spacious. You go up to the counter and order and then they bring it to you. The sandwich had a good balance of flavor and portion. It came with chips and was the perfect size. The salad was huge and loaded with ingredients. It filled me up and I barely could even finish it. It was so packed with nutrients and flavor. Everything tasted fresh and looked aesthetically pleasing. The parking also wasn't bad but I don't know if it's because went at an unusual time during the weekday. read more

I had an awesome experience at this restaurant. It's very pretty, cool vibes, and overall really cozy place to get some food. We got the Brunchy chicken sandwich which was delicious and all the ingredients were full of flavor and really tasty, I recommend this one for sure if you're in the mood for brunch. We also got the steak sandwich which was super rich and packed with meat and caramalized grilled onions. The workers were great and very nice and they also have tasty drink options with strawberry lemonade and black peach tea as well as a citrus green tea which is very crisp. Overall super happy and will come back ! read more

This place came from the now shuttered Benji's restaurant that was an amazing spot. I am glad their culinary skills continue in this upscale fast casual spot. I have never had a bad meal here (crunchy chicken sandwich with the pozole soup is my usual). The only thing I did not like was their pickles. The service is always top notch and quick (it is counter service with table delivery for the food). Definitely a spot you want to check out if you are visiting or have not yet tried! read more

I have frequented the location in Rice Village, but this is the first time I'd ever visited this location in the heights. I will say I was actually very much impressed with not only the space inside, but also the overall vibe. The interior (and exterior) are immaculate, well lit, and the decor/design is very appealing to the eye This spot was busy when we visited, but there was practically no wait. You walk up to the register and place the order. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and efficient There were plenty of seating, and we didn't have to wait long for our meal. If you're in the mood, consider swinging by the fully stocked bar to grab a drink as you wait or as a nightcap The menu offers a variety of delicious foods, but I'd be lying if I said I was ever going to order anything other than the crunchy chicken sandwich. This is one of my favorite sandwiches. It's hearty, fresh, the textures/crunch work well together, and it's very flavorful. There's a variety of sides to choose from, and I would recommend the red potato salad as my favorite There isn't a lot of parking, and the shred lots get full quickly, but you can always find street parking nearby if you don't mind a short walk Some tips: If there's a line and you're unsure what to get, grab a menu at the station behind the line (situated as you walk in), so you don't feel rushed I will say it again, the crunchy chicken sandwich is one of the best if not the best chicken sandwich in Houston. Please try it Cheers!! read more

Local Foods is such a solid choice for good casual food, regardless of location. They are consistent, service has always been personable, food always on point, and the various layouts of the locations are always great for a quick bite or meeting friends. read more

Love this place! Always have healthy options and the drinks are the best. The green pozole is great! Some of my favorites are the chicken and bah mi sandwiches! And the Asian salad. My dad didn't like the bah mi, but my mom, husband and I do. So ‍ read more

Good food at a reasonable price. We enjoyed the location. What was missing for me was how the restaurant made med feel. Food was good, location was great but nothing made the experience stand out. I will eat there again and see if I feel differently, but it was a good place for lunch. read more

The crunchy chicken sandwich is my go to menu item and sometimes I get it in a salad. Their sides change depending on the season however the pumpkin seeds and pickles were phenomenal! The service is always quick, I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes for my food. The staff is so friendly and the restaurant is always clean and stays moving throughout the day! This is a weekly staple! read more

Local Foods Uptown and Heights are two prime locations. My favorite is the summer salad, Brussels sprouts, and all their sandwiches are fire. The Buffalo cauliflower bites are a must. They are quick and process Togo orders quickly. read more

Located in the Heights area, this fresh food eatery has a cute patio area and lots of indoor booths, tables and bar seating. As you walk in it can be a bit confusing as where you should order but there's staff members near the register that can assist you. However the staff isn't very helpful and you are left to make decisions as you reach the register, so be prepared to order. It's more self service so feel free to tip as you please. The food is where this place shines: the pozole was delicious, it came out steaming and it was well presented. It tasted authentic enough as my friend that I came with us quite familiar with Mexican cuisine. The salad was super healthy and it was a large portion that can be shared! Lots of greens and crunch textures, the dressing wasn't overwhelming and was just right. read more

One of my favorite places in Houston! Even though most options appear healthy, they are very tasty and flavorful. My friend and I split the shrimp Caesar and salmon salad. Both were delicious! I liked how you had the option to sit either indoors or out! I don't have any comments on the service since you order right away and then go find a table. I wish I weren't just coming from a heated workout class or otherwise I would have tried their drinks! Drink menu seemed diverse and delicious! read more

Got carry out twice. Really once, but I messed up my wife's order so I got to go back. Great vibes inside, friendly staff and great food. read more

Can't go wrong!! Will always recommend for a quick lunch with friends. Service is self-serve. Gets crowded on the weekends too so sometimes you have to wait for someone to leave. Price is decent, but it's good quality so you get what you're paying for! read more

I'm already planning my next visit! They had great customer service and all the food looked very fresh and farm grown. I sat at the bar and the bartender was super nice. I was torn between some of the side options and she allowed me to taste to see which one I preferred. My friend didn't like their soup and they replaced it immediately- no questions asked. It's a super casual spot that has a ton of options! I would also say they give great portions. MENU CHANGES MONTHLY read more

Anytime I crave healthy foods, my brain and stomach immediately default to Local foods- a houston staple with many different locations. Crunchy chicken sandwich on a delicious pretzel bun is the only thing I need. I would be satisfied if this was the only menu item they had. Each entree comes with 2 sides as well. I typically bounce between the kale salad and potato salad, but occasionally they will throw in a nice switch up in the line up and I'll opt for something like the apple beet salad. The sandwich is pretty big, so I can often get two meals out of it. All of the locations have cute vibes with both indoor and outdoor seating. Will continue to frequent local foods!! read more

Local Foods is one of my all time favorite restaurants in the Houston area! My best friend was in town for and I knew I wanted to take her here as she's vegetarian and sometimes finding genuine and good food can be difficult in new places. Local Foods is always delicious, always fresh, and always hits the spot. My best friend got their veggie Bahn Mi and I got their crunchy chicken sandwich as a salad. The wine menu is extensive but we did not indulge this time. The staff is always incredible and when I asked if he wouldn't mind throwing in a pickle spear with my sides and they went above and beyond! This particular location in the Heights is also busy and it's for a good reason. There is an abundance of seating both indoors and outdoors and all the little shops around are perfect to go walking to after you complete your meal! read more

Tried this place out after a workout class upstairs and it was just as delicious and fresh and filling as I remember it. In fact, it might be tastier than before. Either way, ordering to go was the way because it was packed for lunched in all the booths. It was ready before the time it said it would be and all people in my family enjoyed our crunchy chicken, my kid the pizza mostly, and the sides. The crunchy chicken sandwich is enough to split between two people unless you eat a lot. Parking can be dicey because the lot is small but there is some on the street between the two buildings. read more

This is my friend's favorite restaurant so we came here for her birthday lunch. I got the avocado BLT (I prefer the term BLAT) and I loved that they used heirloom tomatoes (and I got a yellow one which is my favorite type of heirloom). The BLAT comes with two sides, so I got the potato salad and pickle spears. I thought the potato salad was fantastic but I really disliked the pickles. They tasted mustard-y for some reason?? And I hate mustard. So... not my favorite, and if you also hate mustard I would recommend you get some other side. The service was good, you order at the counter and then they bring your food out to you. It was pretty busy when we went so we were nervous about being able to find seating but we were thankfully able to get one fairly easily. read more

The Yale location by far is the best as I have tried others. They are consistent in the regular entrees on the menu. I get the same thing most of the time, but I ventured out and tried the Chicken and Waffles brunch. I am unsure what type of batter they use, but it is not buttermilk. However, I was surprised by the light texture and you could taste the cinnamon. The chicken was fried to perfection and was not the bulky typical whole chicken piece. They marinate the chicken so it totally gives flavor. The batter is light and crispy. As you can see, presentation was on point and photo worthy!!!! We were greedy and also ordered the breakfast plate and the eggs were not what we ordered. However, once we told the server she told us to keep them and brought over a plate with the correct style we wanted them cooked. The service is always amazing as they are quick and hospitable. You can actually take a walk on the trail after eating or do some shopping. They serve cocktails and the space is very open. I am obsessed with the Yale location and moving forward this will be the only one I go to as I have been disappointed by the other locations. Parking can be difficult just to give you a heads up, but it is totally worth it! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Started to get buy the closer we got to noon, but the kitchen was working quickly. The staff in general was very efficient. Parking can be tight, but its free for under 2 hours. Still have to scan the QR code when you park. Has a good bit of inside and outside seating. Also full bar. lots of beer and wine selections. Gulf Seafood Sandwich, $17.5: Oh man this could a top 10 seafood sandwich for me. I was so surprised in how good the seafood mix was. They did not skimp on the filling. The ciabatta was the right amount of softness and chewy. This sando is the primary reason for 5 stars. Posole: Above average green soup. Had a good flavor. Avocado BLT, $16: large thick slices of bacon. I nicely put together sandwich. It was not bad at all, but I would probably look at other items on the menu ahead of this. It was a good lunch. It is not cheap and the bill may turn a few people off. I would recommend and return. read more

I definitely ended with a "happy plate". read more

Quick lunch with a friend led to Local Foods. I was instantly drawn to the BLT on the menu since it had an egg so it was like brunch in a sandwich. It is a counter service spot. The gentlemen was very friendly taking the order. Informative from the start about multiple sizes along with the options. I would definitely say they have the right person in that role. The only thing I wish was a bit more drink option from the fountain like a good sweet tea. The sandwiches we order came fairly fast. Overall decent size. great fresh bread. The Egg was a very messy addition. The bacon was a bit salty for my taking. But I did like the sandwich. Each of the items were plentiful. The lettuce was basic iceberg cut in slightly too large of chunks. The Cole slaw was different with apples and edamame. It had a good flavor. The potato salad was my favorite between the two. Overall there was plenty of seating for groups or smaller parties. Love the size of the patio for a nice day out. If you have picky eaters, I don't think this would be my first choice recommendation. read more

I've been coming to Local Foods since I was younger, and the crunchy chicken sandwich has always been my go-to. Every time I tell myself I'll try something new, but this sandwich is just too good to pass up. Might have to try it in salad form next time and slowly branch out, but for now, it's still the one. read more

Food was exactly what you would expect at local foods , customer service was good as well, however .. what makes me dock this otherwise fine experience is the accessibility. It is marked online and advertised as handicap accessible. However I believe there is only one or two handicapped parking at the complete opposite end of the complex. And all the parking is pay to park unless it's during times they deem it's acceptable to have the first 2 hours free. To walk in they do have extremely heavy doors that without assistance is impossible ; you will need someone else's help. Aside from all of these issues I went to the first table I saw and they have very limited space under the first few tables and this weird gap in height at the end of the bench so it was super uncomfortable and a bit pain to navigate due to my own injury. So I opted to sit outside with the Grackles and finish my meal. The busser was super nice and very attentive I'm sure very quick as so the grackles don't swoop down for the food, otherwise the food was good. I do with hopefully they make it more accessible in the future before marketing it as such. read more

Had Local Foods 2 times this past week! Yum! Of course, I got their Crunchy Chicken Sandwich for dinner, and then got a lovely email that they have new BRUNCH Crunchy Chicken Sandwich. The Brunch Sandwich is high in protein (I feel like), with pimento cheese, eggs and bacon. YUM. I am definitely a fan, and enjoy dining in for brunch after Easter Sunday. Definitely appreciate the kind service and delicious food! Check them out! Love Local and healthy food! read more

Love the location in the heights. They have a parking lot (payment is required) and they have street parking. It is close to other cute business like Postinos, Kendra Scott, Chubbies, etc..

The prices are as expected for being located in the heights. However you get a good amount of food. read more

Local Foods is a staple Houston restaurant. They are excellent at what they do! There are many locations but the one in the Heights is our favorite. The menu is the perfect size to where there is a multitude of options but quality isn't sacrificed. The crunchy chicken sandwich on the pretzel bun is my favorite item with the banh mi close by in second place. The fresh fruit, chips, and potato salad are all great sides. I definitely recommend local foods to anyone in Houston. read more

Shoutout to my friend for putting me on to Local Foods! I tried it for the first time and ordered the Asparagus & Crispy Tofu and WOW. The flavor combo was unreal that sauce is so good. The wild mushrooms, juicy tomatoes, scallions, and that Korean sweet & spicy sauce tied everything together perfectly. It was so bomb, I literally went back the next day for the same exact meal. That's how you know it's real. Local Foods definitely earned a new regular this dish is a must try! read more

I have a deep, passionate love for Local Foods, especially their Truffled Egg Salad Sandwich. I could write an ode to it, an epic that would rival the Iliad. It's not just the pretzel bun--lightly salted and oh-so-fluffy--but the way the soft eggs and tomatoes perfectly complement each other to create a sandwich that will make you smile and brighten even the cloudiest day. Beyond the sandwich, the staff are remarkably cheerful and friendly, creating a truly enjoyable experience. Recently, I ordered catering for a game night. I frequent the restaurant often but wanted to try their catering service. Despite ordering at the last minute--1 a.m. the night before my event--the process was seamless. The menu was straightforward, modifications were easy, and I scheduled the delivery with clear instructions. The delivery was prompt, neatly packed, and included a personal touch: the manager from the location delivered the order himself. Everything was accurate, and clean-up was a breeze. I couldn't be more grateful for the convenience and deliciousness! read more
