Awesome medium-speed-casual place for sandwiches and salads. The wait is little longer than you might think for counter service, but it's worth it. My Very Vegan sandwich was yummy but a little small -- I would gladly have eaten two! read more

I enjoy going here and trying new sandwiches. They surely don't disappoint me. Great food, always clean and friendly and funny staff, always making you feel like a local. Today I had the Cubano Sandwich with sweet potatoes fries and was really tasteful. Every time I see on a menu at restaurant is must for me to give it try. I sure will be back to try more read more

Food: Creative mixes and flavors for sandwiches and burgers -- lots of credit for the work and inspiration that went into the menu. I loved the Telly Melt, which had a nice golden brown, buttery toasted slices with perfectly melted gooey cheese with the burger (I went housemade veggie patty, but I'm sure other burgers work great in this too). Every bite made me want another. They also have local beers, making this a nice after work or lazy Saturday place. Only wish on the food side was that the healthier sides (that is, other than the mac n cheese or fries) were more attractive to me. Sorry, it's tough to explain and I think they change from time to time. Service/Atmosphere: Good, smiley, patient folks (even with a line). Space was clean, bright and even has a small patio for warm days. I got lucky and grabbed a seat outside with my Telly Melt. Awesome. read more

Local west is one of my favorite restaurants that blurs the lines between quick service and a full on site down experience. All of their food is thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients read more

This restaurant won our family's restaurant raffle tonight and we all were impressed. The food quality and quantity was fantastic. I had the Roman sandwich with sweet potato fries. It was hot and delicious. We will definitely be back to try other items. Our group also loved their Porco, In the Club and The Slim Thick. Make this a stop if your on or around Detroit Ave. read more

Our first visit won't be our last. The Veggie Burger made with black bean and carrot, served on a buttery toasted bun with mixed greens, thin sliced red onion, and tomato was tasty! The Jalapeño Slaw wasn't too wet or too spicy - refreshing. My companion devoured his Cow Tipper and Fries, which he described as juicy and delicious. The fries were nicely salted. You order and pay at the counter, but they bring your food to the table and bus when you're done. Good selection of bottled beer and nonalcoholic beverages. Very friendly staff. We shall return! read more

I simply love this place! Well made and presented food that tastes great every time. This one is short, because that's all you need to know. read more

Ok found a sandwich I like...the other were good but not yk my "go to". I like the roman. Very good, bigger in size than I was expecting. I will still try a new one every time I go bc they all look so good. They will have desserts in a basket on the counter, they're always fresh and very tasty. I got the fries, seasoned well and crispy, and a side of beets. Omg were those yummy!!! They had garlic on them, and I think that was it, but that was all it needed. They should add that to one of the salads, maybe with feta. They have craft beer on the board and to the right on the counter there's bottles and cans of other stuff they have. They also carry Ohio City soda. There's also like seasonal sandwiches and soups listed on the chalk board. You have to wait a little while for the food but it's like going to Mr Hero you want to wait bc that means it's freshly made. That's a good thing. The service...I've never had bad service here. They're always friendly. The person making the sandwiches greets you as you walk in. It's always clean and well lit too, just a very attractive space. read more

I would post a picture, but I ate it all too fast because it was that good. I had the veggie burger with four beans salad as my side. The burger was outstanding! Interesting mix of quinoa and black beans. The toasted bun was top notch. Three bean salad was just okay, too much parsley for me. The restaurant is adorable! Easy to overlook it from the road, but you'll be missing out if you do. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Also, they weren't annoyed when I took my time ordering, had never been there before so I was taking in their plethora of choices. Check it out, definitely worth it. read more

Was in Cleveland on business, and went to lunch here with one of my suppliers. Very cool little shop, quick service. Their chalkboard menu is cool and creative, with many options. I went with the Italian beef sandwich and a side of fries. The fries were cut fresh, and very tasty. I give this a 3-star rating because of the sandwich. I had a couple of issues with it. First, they put pickles on it. Never seen that done. Second, they didn't dip the bread before they made the sandwich. The dip is served on the side, au jus style. I've been to Chicago, and this was just a roast beef au jus. Only my opinion. The beef and au jus was good, just not what I was expecting. read more

Best Sandwich in the city. Only place to get a Chicago Italian beef sandwich. The burgers are excellent and the side dishes are unique

I stopped in for take away for my first visit here. I got The Roman ($10) sandwich that came with one side. The Roman contained a thick layer of pepperoni, ham, delicious pepper rings, a little provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion and a perfectly balanced balsamic dressing applied in just the right quantity. This was all put on ciabatta bread that got toasted like a panini. For my side I chose one of the two soups of the day, a Cannellini Bean. Other sides included your typical cold deli options such as pasta salad, a 4-bean salad and cold beets. Beer and wine are also served in the seat yourself and self-serve style café. I did find it odd that the place was empty at 5p on a Wednesday and there were four workers present, but I was happy with my food and would return for a quick fast food meal. They also delivery locally for $2. read more

I ordered the Super Mario because of the portobello mushrooms but it lacked the portobellos. The one half of the burger has 1 stem on it. Other than that it was an overall decent burger, a little dry. The Mac n Cheese was very good and creamy. read more

Great little place. I had the turkey burger and fresh squeezed lemonade. It was delish. Entire family Enjoyed their selections and decent prices. No waiter service. You just order at counter and they deliver to your table Never would have known this was an old KFC. will return read more

My first visit of two was NOT favorable. The cashier was pleasant, as was the grill cook, just not sure what purpose the...I assume day manager?...served. I'll get to that later. Ordered the Old McDonald, and the Telly Melt BOTH MEDIUM. Clearly marked and reflected on the receipt. Also got the fresh cut fries and a side of the mac and cheese. The wait, with 2 people ordering ahead of us took 23 minutes. I didnt mind, because I expected the food to be good based on the majority of reviews. Once arrived, after having cut in half the meat was well done. Absolutely no pink or any trace of medium whatsoever. We chose not to bring it to there attention because 6 more people had already walked in, and I didn't feel like waiting 30 more minutes. I can kind of handle a well done burger, so I ate it, begrudgingly. The burger was just a huge, dry mess and hard to swallow. The fries were decent, not at all crispy. Mac and cheese was ok, although I question how it was prepared to serve in terms of heating it up. It was barely warm, and it tasted like it had been microwaved. Wasnt bad, just could have been much better. Now in terms of the "front of house manager lady" who goes around and asks how the food is and engages in awkward conversation. Yeah, that one. While nice, she seemed more engaged to sitting down with her friend and chatting while eating a cheese sandwich. When needed she would get up and do what she feels she needs to do. Like disrupting the QUIET atmosphere to turn on ridiculously loud music. It was not a full dining room, music is just not needed at all especially when you have to talk over it. She finally came over and asked how our food was, so I bluntly told her. I showed her the receipt which said medium, then showed her what was left of what I had, and noted that it wasnt that much of an issue as I can eat well done burgers for the most part, as well as expecting what i request. Her reaction was NOT appropriate. It's the kind of reaction where if you ask a question, you expect to hear a certain positive answer, and if you don't hear what you WANT instead of what you NEED then its a big issue. She apologized, said something I couldn't understand, and left. That was it. Whether she told the cook, I don't know...and whether he cared, I don't know. I wasn't an ass about it. She asked me how it was, and I politely told her. Didnt see or hear from her after that, nor was there any effort to make anything right. I will give it one one more chance, as there were other items other than a horribly cooked burger I would like to try. Still not off to a good start. I included a picture of said burger next to said receipt. read more

Local West - Clearly this is not MEDIUM. Both burgers were cooked way beyond medium. Super dry, tough. Not good at all. - Gastropubs Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Stopped in yesterday and got the Cubano. Excellent, and so big I'm having half for lunch today.

In an era where a 16 dollar sandwich may not even fill you up a quarter way Local west does not disappoint. Giant portion and a great value are just the start, the restaurant was also super clean and service was top notch. Fries weren't some cheap generic out of the freezer junk they were real fries, perfectly seasoned. Sandwich was a full meal and perfect, one of the best Italian beefs I've ever had an I consider myself an aficionado. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal read more

5 of us had lunch. Food was well-prepared and delicious. Have more menu items I want to try in future visits

Had another great takeout experience. The Cheesesteak sandwich on a baguette was so good, tender and flavorful, Fresh cut fries, a special treat and the target of our visit: the chili-- meaty and very good and not too spicy for my sensitive self; this batch, which was perfect. I felt very comfortable with the Covid protections used and I'm very cautious. read more

This is one of those restaurants that you can't judge a book by its cover. When I first pulled up to the restaurant I wasn't even going to go in. I saw what looked like a drive up window it appeared like a fast food McDonald's or Burger King kind of place. I was completely disappointed. However I had my nephew with me who loves burgers and was hungry and we didn't have time to go anywhere else. So I went in the second I open the door and walked in my mind was changed. The smells were amazing. The place was spotless organized and nice looking. The employees were helpful and friendly. They also informed me that they try to get most of their food locally sourced. I'm a huge fan of that. Almost anything that they carry can be put on a bed of lettuce instead of a wheat bun. I wasn't formed that they used to carry gluten-free buns however they just didn't sell enough. They're thinking about getting them again but in the meantime putting it on a bed of lettuce works wonderfully. They do have Romain lettuce. The food was wonderful the sweet potato fries were delicious they look like hand cut.. read more

What can I say...this place is THE BEST. I would eat here everyday if I could... What makes it so good? The laid back atmosphere, the fact that they deliver and you dont have to pay a crazy delivery fee thru a 3rd party, their French fries....pretty much everything. They are also dog friendly and have a huge water bowl outside for your thirsty pup! Do yourself a favor and try Local West ASAP! read more

The delivery was fast and efficient. The temperature was good, but my veggie burger wasn't really a burger at all. It was a smushed pile of veggies, like a paste. No bite whatsoever and didn't taste good either. Hands down the worst veggie burger I've ever eaten. read more

Not sure how they have such a high rating but it's overpriced and food is bland. I got the chicken fontanez or something like that.

This casual little spot is reliably tasty. For myself, I usually order a salad with chicken, which may seem plain but I think is a reliable indicator of quality. The veggies are always fresh and the chicken is nicely cooked. Plus the house dressing is a delicious lemon and oregano olive oil type. Yum. The different sandwiches are great too. Their burger is juicy and flavorful and they are very generous with their fries on the side. It always feels clean inside and I like how they have a serve-yourself water station. The tables have all the condiments already available, which is just very helpful and thoughtful. My only wish is that their lemonade wasn't quite as pricey. But it is fresh and homemade, so...‍ read more

Wish I lived closer to this place! Took me longer to choose what I wanted than it did to eat it. I ended up with the Super Mario due to the name and the portobello mushrooms. It was a good burger but nothing really stood out, my taste buds were looking for the aioli but couldn't find it. I know that doesn't seem like a great review, but I nonetheless liked it. The poutine, on the other hand, was outstanding! The gravy made me wish it was December, just so it could warm me up on a cold day. The sweet potato fries were banging too! So much more to choose from, I'll be back as soon as I can. read more

Cajun chicken sandwich was decent, though I expected it to have more creole spices and be more savory and not need added condiments. Mac and cheese was homestyle. It was a decent space, but I probably wouldn't go again. read more

Always good food and a relaxed vibe. The patio is pretty chill too.

So, my husband and I were looking for something a little different. We did want a loud Mexican restaurant (it was cinco de Mayo) or a loud sports bar. We found this gem on our yelp app and decided to go. We were the only ones there, which baffles me. This restaurant is fantastic. Decor-wise it is a little county and a little industrial. At this place, you order at the register and are served after you sit down. We both got a sandwich and soup (50 shades of spice and the Fonz) (chicken lemon orzo, and corn chowder) and shared some poutine. The names were fun and they had interesting flavor combinations. I got the 50 shades and it was fantastic and interesting. This sandwich has goat cheese with orange zest. The poutine is not like I have ever tasted as I think it had curry in it. The staff were nice and accommodating and I can't wait to try it out for lunch. I recommend this place for sure! read more

I do not know how we have lived down the street from local west for 6 months are just now trying this awesome little gem. We have gone several time since our first time.

Definitely your best and most reliable option in this area on Detroit. Lots of food for a very reasonable price and it's always good. I find consistency to be the biggest issue with Cleveland restaurants so it's great to have a place to count on when I'm in the area. read more

This was my first time visiting this establishment but I will DEFINITELY be back. The food was awesome and they have wine!! It's not extremely big but there is seating and the place was spotless. I didn't have to think twice about dining in. I had the chicken sandwich and fresh cut fries and my lunch date had the Cajun chicken over slaw with the Mac n cheese. It all looked so good that we shared! The staff was friendly and the place is up on modern technology. I was able yo pay and tip via their tablet type register. My receipt was even emailed! I would recommend this place for an awesomely fresh and quick meal. read more

Service has improved dramatically and I remain addicted to the Italian Beef Sandwich. They did a great job cleaning up and decorating the patio - which is now a great place to watch all kinds of neighborhood happenings. I've heard from people who know that they have a great burger - so that's next on my list. read more

This is one of my favorite casual spots for lunch or dinner. Great sandwiches, the cheesesteak, porco, cubano and Roman are my favorites. The fries and sweet potato fries are some of the best in town. Most of the sandwiches are big enough to split. Delicious!!! Love this place. read more

I had their "Super Mario" burger with the four bean salad side. It was fantastic! Had a UFO beer and I was most content! I highly recommend this place.

Also, I was very pleased they had real silverware and glassware for eating in, and did not use styrofoam. read more

This place gets a 4 star rating. I'm a fan. If you follow my reviews I don't give too many 4 star ratings. Their food is great. I had their Murv (burger) and the roman (sandwich) both were really good. They also have vegetarian options as well. They have an interesting take too their food and each sandwich is different. They have a big, nice open kitchen where you can see them making your food. I've never had one bad thing from this place. If you go there ask to try a sample of their seasonal soups! They have a parking lot and take credit too. read more
