    cheesesteak and fries
    Hajir S.

    This spot has some decent sandwiches, and it's nice that everything is quite fresh. Honestly not a bad place to grab a bite locally. However, it's not so great that I'm inclined to go out of my way, and the prices are higher than expected. I got a cheesesteak, but spicy like the voodoo sandwich, and just like the voodoo chicken sandwich it's good, but it's not great. It's spicy, but it's not so spicy that it's voodoo! The fries are good, but there's no beer on draft or anything like that. It's just hard to understand why in Cleveland you're paying $18 for a cheesesteak that costs $12 in NYC at a bodega that's open 24 hours a day...they also need to put more cheese on that cheesesteak Staff was kind, parking was available, and there is ample seating.

    Chicken sandwich & Mac & Cheese

    Chicken sandwich and Mac & cheese 10/10 highly recommend fresh food and ingredients. New favorite place wish I known about it earlier.

    Food was a bit higher priced. They charged me 75 cents for pickles when I'm already paying 14 dollars for a burger... Mac and cheese was bussing I tried the lemonade and it was realllllllllyyy sour I had it water it down a lot. They don't offer refills for any drinks you buy there. Burgers were good but nothing to make me return again. Paid extra for salmon on salad and the salmon was small but flavors were good.

    Looking at the menu board, you can see that this is not your standard deli. It's much more than just combinations of sliced meats and cheeses. You can get a gyro, chicken pizza, salmon burger, and sweet potato fries, among many other choices. When I see a restaurant like this, I seriously wish I lived closer. I decided to go with the Cubano. This is not some half assed ham and pickles sandwich. They take perfectly cooked pork and layer it with ham, pickles, and mustard, pressed between French bread. This is seriously the real deal. I have had sandwiches in Florida that were not as good as this. My wife normally shares at least a little bit of her meal with me. She didn't let me have any of her chicken sandwich. Fortunately, we both got fries. They are skin on, and the owner told us that they soak them overnight, which releases the starch and makes them crispier. There were an enormous number of fries, and we both ate all of them. And, that's not all. My wife got a salad with an amazing vinaigrette. And, the soup of the day was a potato soup. Every spoonful was savory, and I wish I had ordered more. We are only in Ohio for three days, and we came here on day two. We are definitely coming here on our last day. UPDATE: we came back on the way home, and I got a salmon burger. Unlike most salmon burgers, which consist of breading that was formed in front of a picture of a salmon, this one has a significant amount of salmon in it. It's served with an excellent tzatziki sauce. I also got a rich, tasty mac & cheese. There are many other things on the menu, and the soup selection rotates daily, so there are plenty of reasons to come back.

    Eggplant sandwich
    Tawanda B.

    I've gone to Local West twice. Today I had the eggplant sandwich, fries, and a blackberry cider. The eggplant was soft but not mushy. The onion tomato herb topping was delicious. I enjoy their bread, the herbs mixed into the nooks and crannies of the bread Lets talk about the music I was there for about 40 minutes( I ate there) I dined to reggae, 90s and 2000s slow and upbeat jams, and even some 70 classics, I should have asked for somebody's Spotify list on the way out cause I'm Extra I will be back soon, I'm gonna try one of the chicken sandwiches .

    Cowtipper Burger
    Natalie K.

    First place here, cool vibes inside! Burger was great and good amount of fries that were also good. Big menu, would like to try the chicken next! Parking lot right beside made it stress free. You go up to counter and pay then sit and wait for food to be delivered. Not too long of a wait. Not a lot of people dining in but take out seemed busy. Would go again!

    Voodoo Chicken Sandwich

    I ordered the Voodoo chicken sandwich and 4 beans side. Great quality ingredients that were made fresh. Everything tasted delicious. I would highly recommend!

    Cheesesteak Sandwich
    Gillian S.

    DELICIOUS! My dad and I were recommended this place by a friend who said "it wouldn't disappoint" - and he was right!! These were some of the best sandwiches we've ever had! I got the Italian Beef Sandwich - it was good on its own, but when you dipped it in the au jus sauce - no words can describe how good this sandwich was! They also give you a good portion, so you will not leave this place hungry! My dad was craving a Cheesesteak and was so excited to try this one. It was a giant sandwich - filled to the brim with steak, topped with delicious cheese, and cooked to perfection... what more could you ask for? He loved this sandwich and ate every last crumb!! Both of our sandwiches came with hot, crispy fries - the perfect side to a perfect sandwich! We can't wait to come back and try more off of their menu, we heard the burgers are delicious too!

    Overcooked beef
    ken k.

    Don't know why they ask how I want my burger if it's gonna come out well anyways. Seems like they use a tasty blend of meat, but ours was overcooked. The owner was a little rude, but the cashier was nice.

    This was the Big Breast sandwich with a side of fresh cut fries!

    The service was wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious! The staff was very friendly and the food was also presented great!

    Blacon Burger
    Charles L D.

    I've been dining at Local West for 8+ years and it is one of my favorite spots to grab a burger. So glad to see that they've been able to survive the pandemic and unfortunate challenges other local restaurants have faced. The service is always quick considering that the food is made to order. During my most recent visit, I ordered the Blacon burger with sweet potato fries and it was satisfying. My only complaint is that the burger was cooked a little bit more than I expected but not to the point where I didn't enjoy it. Local West is a casual spot and I often dine inside or outside on the patio. Would definitely recommend Local West if you're looking for a casual spot with friendly service and great food!

    Cow tippe burger with fries

    Passing through Cleveland. Had the cow tippe burger. Seriously one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Perfectly seasoned, huge patty, awesome bun. Fresh cut fries cooked and seasoned perfectly as well. Great service and cool vibe with a lil reggae in the background and windows all around. Glad I found this place and will return again next time I'm passing through.

    $1 À la cart for each lettuce and onion slice is crazy to me!

It was topped with a thin layer of rhubarb jam that brought a nice tartness along with a dollop of sorghum butter and whipped cream, and served with Ohio maple syrup on the side. I could have easily had a whole stack of the pancakes. The staff was friendly, and though the place was busy, the service was efficient. Excited to come here again! Note - if you use a credit card, it does come with a 3% service fee.

On the outside it's a big silver diner. Looks smaller than it is. Inside there is a good amount of seating and it's not small. Parking is right out front. We sat and ordered pretty quick. I got the chicken noodle soup and salad. Kathy got the Greek salad with chicken. We both got the Greek dressing. The chicken noodle was homemade with plenty of big carrots, celery, egg noodles and a bit of chicken. It was good. Could have used a bit more chicken but it was full of veggies and tasted good. Plus it was hot. Love it. Salad came and it was a decent size. Also lots of veggies. It was just enough food. And the price was great under $8. The Greek salad could have been a bit larger. I thought it looked a bit skimpy. But Kathy got a whole chicken breast cut up. She sub's out the gyro meat. Again dressing was homemade and really good. The desserts looked super good but we did not partake. The menu is good with Bfast, lunch, dinners. Everything from burgers, sandwiches, pasta. Lots to choose from and prices are decent.

It's not as if this is the first ableist menu I've encountered, so while I hate them and can't read them, I have a course of action. I asked the server for a menu of their specials and they said, "Yeah he doesn't do that." But then they laughed at me and said, "I can pull it up on my phone and you can read my phone." When I told them I would happily read it on my own phone if I could read a menu on my phone, they were confused and appeared to lose all cognitive ability. That's when I decided to leave. My server maintained their confusion and had nothing to say. I said, "Please tell your manager we are leaving because the menu is inaccessible." As I left, they proceeded to talk shit to other guests on the patio. Perhaps their overpriced and scatterbrained menu is delicious. Unfortunately, I never got past the water. It tasted fine.
