This place is the best of the best! GREAT food, people, service, and atmosphere! Beautifully set up with amazing goodies, gifts, a foodies delight!!! We usually do take out, but sitting in there you meet all your neighbors and see so many friends who also love dining here! Try the Mediterranean taco!!!! The burgers, and loaded potatoes, wings, really everything we have had is so delicious!! Joyce R. read more

Locals Kitchen + Market is very American indeed. The interior feels like an indoor Farmers' Market. They craft their dishes, from their kitchen straight to your table. They also sell their own vinegar, salts, oil and snacks and some odd "trinkets". Minor downside for French fry fanatics, Locals Kitchen + Market doesn't serve them, but their tater tots are amazing. There's burgers, sandwiches, pasta, salad, baked potatoes, Tex-Mex and Street tacos. It's spacious inside, but not ideal for large gatherings. Prices are affordable, and the staff are kind and accommodating. I'd recommend this restaurant to everyone I know. read more

October 15, 2025 Michael (mgr) at front counter helped me, very knowledgeable and very friendly. I got some Momofuku chili crunch,"hot honey" flavor. I got some Stamey's candied jalepenos out of North Carolina. They're menu is quite extensive. Lots to pick from as photos here on Yelp show. I got a chicken salad sandwich [to go] it was tasty. I still like Jason's deli better! *sorry* Really liked the bread Got a brownie... yummy. They sell wine, chips, Texas teeshirts, different popcorn flavors, nuts...etc They have a lot of different flavored oils and vinegar that you can taste with a tiny piece of bread read more

Love this place and everything I've eaten here has been delicious. They also have an abundance of barreled olive oils and balsamic vinegar to taste and buy...garlic and herb and caramelized garlic are my go to's. They also have one that tastes like bacon that is perfect for eggs when you don't have bacon. The smash burger here is huge and tasty, subs are great as well...haven't tried the pastas yet, not a huge fan of penne, but I will probably give it a go sometime. People are friendly and helpful and space is very clean. From the dining area you can see straight in to the open kitchen. read more

Food is amazing and love ordering to go! Just wish they would update their menu and add some new stuff

Cute place , clean and offering small gifts and a lot of options, it was so busy at lunch it must be delicious!

I'm rarely ever in the Friendswood area. I'm thankfully my colleagues introduced me to Locals. The customer service & food was great. It fairly small in the inside; however, there are additional seats outside & the staff will come out & check on you. They were very attentive when it came to making sure we needed anything. I ordered the Sellers Salad (highly recommend) with extra dressing & cheese. I got a nice amount of chopped chicken on the side. They also have a yummy half & half lemonade. Overall, very nice place. I'll probably return soon to try something else. read more

Why 5 stars? Because they combined two loves so well. --- --- --- Tex-Mex? I love. Burgers? I love. The Tex-Mex Burger from Local Kitchen + Market? It turns out, I love. Sometimes mash ups can become a horror movie on a plate. But this was the perfect combination of two great things. In addition, I also ordered a strawberry bundt cake, which was also great. And soft. So soft. My experience was of the to-go variety, so I'm sure everything is at least 10% better when it's served hot in the restaurant. But it's hard to go up 10% when I enjoyed it so much, despite slightly sub-optimal hotness. read more

Local Kitchen + Market is the best kept secret of "downtown" Friendswood. This local gem is the perfect place for a quick lunch, or a specialty pick up of different, unique food items. Walking in, I believe I was greeted by the husband and wife who own the place. I didn't even realize this place was here till I saw a post online through the Bay Area Houston Food Lovers group. I am very glad I decided to come in though because they have all sorts of different hot sauces, olive oils, vinegars, wines, and everything in between. They really seem to live up to their name of "Local" because they offer a lot of small, local food business items that you wouldn't normally see in the big grocery stores. One of my favorites is their garlic chili crisp from a local business in Austin, TX. As far as their food goes, I had their meatball sub for lunch. This sandwich was huge, and could be split between 2 people. It consisted of toasted Italian hoagie bread, homemade meatballs, and TONS of melted, gooey Romano and mozzarella cheeses. Talk about cheese pull because the gooey cheese could be stretched out a foot long when you took a bite of the sandwich. The homemade meatballs were super tender and flavorful, and the tomato sauce tasted like it had been simmering all night long. 10/10 would recommend this meatball sub! Next time I come back, I definitely wanna try the rest of the menu if it's all this good. I really hope this local business stays in Friendswood for years to come, enjoy! read more

Man what a hidden gem! The folks working there were super helpful and made great suggestions. The wings were HUGE and had a great smoky flavor. The smash burger was unreal - perfectly cooked and seasoned and we had the queso on top which was incredible. The tots were crunchy and well salted. Just everything was so delicious and I can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Love this little local (heh) place. We started going for lunch when they first opened and haven't stopped since. The owner gave us a tour the first time and we tasted a ton of oils and vinegars. The seating outside is nice when its not 150° out. The food is consistently good. Only thing that makes us not go more are the prices which are slightly high. read more

Amazing burgers and wings! Super-friendly service. Good vibe all around. We'll definitely be back!

Saw this place on Facebook last night and decided to give it a try and took our dinner for to go. The meatball sub with tots is so much food!! I ate the tots and the small half of the sub and I was stuffed. My daughter ordered the pesto pasta with shrimp and she said it was a 10/10. Best part: strawberry bundt cake!! My daughter doesn't care for anything strawberry but she said it's 15/10 definitely recommend. We're going back this weekend for more!! read more

We decided to give this place a try based on a a friend's recommendation. At first glance I instantly thought twice about going in, been here done that thing before but went in anyway. I should have went with my instincts on this one, more overpriced food. The boutique/market is the main identity of this place which would explain the food prices. We took a look at the menu and my coworker ordered first and when he heard the price I could only think of the big one from Sandford & Son but he kept his composure which meant I had to order as well. So 2 burgers, 2 tots, & 2 drinks later we are a tad over $40. Well this was definitely a one time visit, So we sat down at the family style table and hoped that the burgers were at least worth the money. Hoping was all there would be, the burger was small and there could not of been more than 10 tots in the boat with it. After finishing the burger and tots I will have to say that for the money the food was a total let down. The tots were your run of the meal tots and the double meat smash burger was a single patty burger anywhere else. Well here is what we ordered. Tex-Mex Burger. $12.95 - 5/10 Refried Bean, Cheddar Cheese, Fritos, Salsa and White onions The burger was way smaller than I was expecting for $13, the flavors were overpowered by the onions and Fritos. The beans, salsa , and meat were there but not really present. Overall the burger was not horrible by any means just not anywhere close to the price point they commanded. Tator Tots +$2.75. Just average tots. - They were crunchy at least. Iced Tea $ 3.50 Locals Burger "You Build It". $10.95. - 5/10 Double meat smash burger built how you like it! Pickle | Lettuce | Tomato | White Onions Nothing special, decent burger just not worth the money. Tator Tots +$2.75. Iced Tea $ 3.50 The customer service was good and the place is nice. Lots of specialty items in the market. I love supporting local businesses but I am just not one to pay for overpriced food. If you love the place then do so but JLBs is right down the street and their burger is on a whole different level. read more

Burger and Tater tots were very good. Burger was seasoned to perfection. Italian panini was great. No French fries here just tots and bagged potato chips. Several types of wine to choose from. You can order by the glass or a bottle. They also have olive oil and vinegar on tap that you can purchase to take home - samples to try before you buy. We purchased a bottle each of peach infused balsamic vinegar, basil olive oil and garlic olive oil. Yummy drizzled on salad. Ambiance was very casual which I love. Restaurant seating inside is very limited but they do have some outdoor seating available. Service was friendly and helpful since it was our first time to visit. Reasonably price for the quality of food. Give it a try, you won't regret it! read more

I absolutely love Locals. I have had many of their menu items and you can't go wrong choosing any one of them. Their burgers are excellent and they have a satisfying gluten free bun. The wings are top notch as are the tacos and tostadas. If you look at their menu anything you choose will be tasty! Will return many times. read more

Possibly the best burger in Friendswood. Only reason I can't do 5 stars is because the prices are just too high. I would love to be able to get burgers, side, and drink but I just feel terrible looking at the cost of it. And not feeling good about spending your money some place is not a good thing. We like the burger so much that we occasionally get just burgers to go and then go somewhere else to get sides and a drink. That's really unfortunate because it takes away from the experience. Great burger and great location, but I don't feel good about spending money here. read more

Go when you have time to browse--the olive oil and vinegar selection is vast and inventive. But the chicken wings!! THE WINGS ARE SO GOOD. The sauces are good, but they're not the main show--the wings are and I always find myself sneaking in whenever I'm in Friendswood. read more

Love love loved every minute here. We went to a nearby restaurant and were letdown. Stopped in here out of sheer curiosity - it didn't even show up on Yelp! Needless to say, we LOVED the people, the products & the service. Ended up spending hours there and quite a bit of money. Took home some olive oil & balsamic vinegar. Tried their wings Nashville hot and loved them. Smoked and then flash fried - unreal quality/texture/flavor. The people were great & are a big reason we'll be going back. Can't wait to go see the live band tonight! Cheers -- try this place !! read more

Unbelievably good. Excellent food. The flavored olive oil and vinegar selection was out of this world. They have a tasting station where they mix and match these delicious treats as samples before you make a purchase. The entire staff was committed to the excellence of their business and it was not salesmanship but legitimate bragging on how awesome their food was. I had the sausage and peppers and my wife had the chicken wings. Both were unique and out of this world!! They are the real deal. Be sure to talk to Brian and Will. They offer great recommendations and love to share their stories with you. It's not just a meal it's an experience! read more

The food was great with good portion sizes. A little pricey for a burger and panini. Staff was friendly and helpful
