I had the fish (cod) and chips special. Food was very good at a reasonable price. The picture of beer was a good deal too. Our waitress was super friendly and never rushed us even though the place was packed when we sat down. Nice basic, comfortable, clean dining area. The bar area is small. When summer comes around there is a nice sized outdoor area that would be good. I will definitely try this place again. read more

Little dry for Mex husband got same thing and said his was cooked prefect, Friends were good. Great place for family dinners. Plenty of seating and they have tvs if you want to watch a game. read more

Localz Bistro - Fries - New American Near Me - Sandy, Utah

Sunday around 4:30pm and it wasn't that busy. We were seated right away. The staff, including our waitress were really nice and very accommodating. Our waitress seemed like she loved her job, which made the experience much better. I ordered the bistro burger (medium) with white cheddar and added a fried egg on top. Really good burger. I chose a side of fries, but couldn't eat most of them because the burger was filling. Most of the menu is southern comfort food. I'll try the meatloaf next time! They have TVs playing sports. read more

Disappointing, except for waiter Bob. Ordered a margarita, a beer and 2 Bistro burgers. Margarita was a typical Utah one, 1 and 1/2 oz of tequila and my beer was a large format something or another and it was ok (I'm not a beer aficionado but it was not bad). Both burgers were wayyyy overcooked and dry. I had ordered mine with their upsale truffle fries and they were terrible...all of them floppy and unappetizing with a ramekin of what might have been fry sauce but it was white-ish/mayo stuff. My gf only ate 1/2 of hers and I ate all of mine because I was hungry. I called over waiter Bob and showed him the floppy fries and my, at that time, 1/2 eaten dry, overcooked burger. He was very apologetic and asked, several times, if they could remake our burgers which I declined. Bob also asked what he could do to make it right and I said, "thanks but nothing is necessary" as I wasn't looking for any type of compensation or a freebe (not my style). I proceeded to ask for the check and waiter Bob mentioned 1 of the burgers was taken off the check (again, I had not asked). I left a 20% tip for the amount the check should have been rather than the actual amount I was charged because the service as well as Bob's customer service was above and beyond however the meal was disappointing. read more

It's great to see food this good in this location. It's not New Orleans by any means, but I got my fix of good cajun/creole food here. I found everything to be rich and flavorful. I loved the mahi-mahi, the etouffee, and the low country shrimp & grits in particular. The BBQ shrimp & grits were a little too sweet for my liking. The place seemed popular and had a short wait, but it seemed well organized, and food came out at a normal pace. read more

Nice spot for southern comfort food. Vibe is laid back, and the food is tasty. I got the chef chicken sandwich with truffle fries, and a cup of gumbo. Everything was delicious and comforting! The gumbo was flavorful and I'm glad I got a cup of it to try. The fried chicken sandwich was great too, and the portion was pretty large. I definitely had leftovers to take home. If you're looking for southern food or comfort food, Localz Bistro is a nice spot! And I'd recommend trying to gumbo read more

We tried Localz Bistro for the first time yesterday and were impressed. Our server Brandon did a great job taking of our table, he was attentive and polite. Two of us ordered the miso salmon with goat cheese grits, my husband had the ahi tuna sandwich. The food came out hot and was delicious. All of their desserts are made in house as well, we tried the bread pudding and weren't disappointed! Perfect for sharing after dinner. I've lived in Sandy for the past couple of years and haven't had a chance to try this spot, we'll definitely be back. read more

A good comfort food restaurant. Locally owned and operated with excellent staff. Sarah was our server and was exceptional. The evenings special was their fish and chips that my daughter ordered and was very good. I had the prime rib roll which was also good. The horseradish sauce helps it out. Lively popular place that is clean and bright. read more

Chick-fil-a has a better chicken sandwich than this place. My wife got the Jambalaya and the dish did not have the amount of food I'd expect for a $22 dollar entree. This ambiance was like a southern version of Chili's. The waiter was nice but never came back to refill our waters. We won't be coming back here. read more

Came here on recommendation of friends and had a good experience. They seem to have a very diverse menu. I enjoyed the cheese curds very much as well as the red beans and rice. I had their version of French dip (Prime Rib Roll) and it was good, nothing that excited me, however. On another visit I also had the beef stroganoff. I didn't like it too well. Way too vinegary, sour flavor. I've never had such a vinegary stroganoff before. There were tons of pasta and beef. The portion was very generous. I started to eat my leftovers. The flavor just rubs me the wrong way. I don't know, I think they try too hard to be "different" or maybe their menu chef's tastes just don't jive with mine. Four stars because of the quality of ingredients, but just not for me. Give it a try to see if it fits your palate. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

The view from this restaurant is beautiful. The staff is friendly and attentive and the food is very delicious. I had a cup of rice and beans soup, it was hearty. My friend had the beef stroganoff and it was flavorful and fresh, I had pork chops with mashed potatoes and collard green. I rarely eat pork but when the chops were recommended to me by the server, I had to try it. It had a nice char flavor from the grill and it was seasoned right and flavorful. The collards green were tender and vinegary!it was so comforting. The bread pudding was also out of this word delicious and you get a thick serving with ice cream, whipped cream and strawberries. read more

LOVE Localz Bistro. A direct shot down the road out of Little Cottonwood Canyon, it's the ideal stop after a day in the mountains. When you're not sure what food mood you're in, Localz has it all! The perfect joint for settling in on a summer evening with friends and a bottle of wine, Ceviche, seared Ahi Salad or Salmon. Or go the Southern comfort route with a tall glass of beer, Truffle fries, a Fried Shrimp Po Boy, Southern Fried Chicken & Mashed Potatoes, or Jambalaya. Either way, the food won't disappoint. The service is awesome, and they'll always help out if you're not sure which direction the vibe is heading yet. Always busy, but worth the wait if there is one! read more

I love Localz! We don't have a ton of sit-down choices in Sandy, so it's very nice to have Localz nearby, with consistent food and yummy drinks! We've never had a bad server! My favorite is a Caesar salad with blackened salmon and I NEVER leave without the chili chocolate mousse! It's the best! It's always clean, which is very important to me too! Job well done Localz! read more

Back again, and the poutine is killer! Like so addictive with the cheesy, gravey goodness! Also really enjoyed the steak sandwich, mine was cooked to perfection! Gf really enjoyed her tuna salad again! Service was a little slow, though not unbearable, but did have to ask more than once for our drinks. We will definitely be back. read more

The food was somewhere between "meh" and good. A couple people that I went with got the shrimp scampi and liked it a lot. I got their special that day, and it was decent. The menu/food selection is kind of odd to be honest. Service was fine, honestly I think our waiter was just having an off day. It seemed like he didn't have a ton of patience for our "girls night out" energy. ;) The ambiance was also kind of odd? It looks like it was intentionally decorated to look like it's been there for a really long time.... read more

I went on a Thursday night with my daughter. She ordered the chicken tenders and we got some Poutine and chili. Chicken Tenders and fries had no flavor. They forgot to season the fries. She asked for ranch to dip her chicken in, what a mistake. It was watered down and sweet. Possibly the worst ranch she has had. Poutine was okay at first but quickly turned into a one note mushy pile. Wish there was some texture and flavor. All you can taste is the bechamel. The chili was probably the best part of the meal. It had some flavor, that the other dishes lacked. read more

The burger was as good as it looks, and the poutine and cheese curds are bomb. Highly recommend you get all 3! read more

Who would've thought this place would've been so good!! I cant wait to go back for the food. Ambiance is giving your local Applebees or Outback. Nothing crazy. There's a bar with a few seats, and a pretty large seating area. Service was pretty average nothing impressive. Waitress took the order and brought the food, never checked on us or refilled soda or water... so that was not great. Now onto the meal, I had the miso salmon with the goat cheese grits, and it was fabulous. 10 out of 10. The salmon was super flavorful and not fishy and the grits were excellent. I loved the flavor of everything. I cannot wait to try. The fresh made pasta with the shrimp scampi that the waitress had recommended - I will be back for that! read more

Went for a family dinner. Place was busy but we were seated promptly. Honestly was surprised at how good this place was. We just randomly picked it. The food was all fresh and had great flavor. Everyone I was with loved their meals. I had the fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy, and crunchy. The bread was soft. My fries were cooked well and properly seasoned. I am excited to stop by again and try some other things. read more

This was once my favorite local spot to get a chicken sandwich. They were so insanely good! Yesterday, I did my usually pick up order, but upon my arrival at home I noticed the chicken looked much different than it normally does. It was not the thick juicy cut of perfectly fried chicken. It was flat, the breading was pulling away from the meat, and honestly looked like the frozen breaded chicken patties of my youth. . The overall taste was not even close to the sandwich I have been eating over the past several years. I told my husband I would not be going back again to which he replied "Good! That place was overpriced for a chicken sandwich!" I guess it's a good thing this happened because yesterday the cost of a chicken sandwich with fries was just over $20. Looks like they raised their already high prices. read more

Our 1st visit on a Saturday evening- a very busy Saturday. Hostess was awesome- she had 2 large parties to seat and lots of walking! But she remain friendly and cool! Very impressive as the 1st point of contact! She apologized for the wait before seating us - that acknowledgement was impressive and left us with a positive impression even with a wait for a table. Menu is simple but has a lot of offerings - appetizers-soup - salads - sandwiches- entree's we decided to try their 1/2 lb burger and stroganoff. The burger has great potential but I was told it would be done to medium but was much closer to well done - glad I got the blue cheese as it retained some moisture- bun was toasted well and the lettuce & bacon & tomatoes made a great accompaniment. Stroganoff was a bit on the sweet side but love the beef & mushrooms . Over all good experience and the service folks friendly and helpful. Located in a strip mall makes for lots of parking! read more

Localz Bistro is located in a huge strip mall with a lot of parking available. From the restaurant, you can look out the window, and you have a grand view of the mountains nearby - majestic beauty! We came on Halloween 2023, and the restaurant was decorated and all festive. Live music tonight. All the workers were all dressed up in costumes! Very fun and fun-loving group of people. Lexie took care of us and was super sweet, nice, and attentive. She was cute and made us laugh as we were asking about "Utah things." Chicken and Seafood Gumbo: Chicken, Andouille Sausage, Shrimp, Basmati Rice. This had a nice kick to it. The spices and all the flavors melted together into a good gumbo. Was it authentic? I don't know, but it was a good dish. Poutine: "Canadian Nachos" House Cut Fries, Cheese Curds, Demi, Bechamel Sauce. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't like soggy fries, so she had them put the sauces on the side. Regardless, the fries were nice and crisp. I had a few that I thought were oily, but that was only a few. The rest of them were done really well! The sauces were delicious, especially the bechamel sauce - creamy and rich. My only grip was that these cheese curds did not have the squeak we are used to having. Aside from that, I'd get these again! Red Bean & Rice: Tooele Andouille Sausage, Pork Belly, Red Beans, Basmati Rice, & Cornbread. This was just ok, as I felt the dish was too watery. The cornbread was a little dry. BBQ Shrimp & Grits: New Orleans Style, Tomato, Rosemary, Garlic, Cayenne, & Beer. Ok, I am glad Lexie recommended this dish as I thought they did an excellent job. Rich, bold, with a slight spice to this. The grits weren't smooth, but they were creamy but had a bite to them. The sauce was enough to eat with the grits. Fried Chicken and Greens: Crispy Chicken Breast, Mashed Potato, Collard Greens, with Demi Glaze Gravy. Lexie asked if we wanted the sauce on the chicken, and yes, we did. Pounded chicken breast so it would cook evenly dredged into they flour mixture and deep fried to a golden brown. Chicken was flavorful. The Collard Greens were very good. You could taste the love and dedication in simmering these greens with ham pieces. The mashed potatoes were creamy and smooth. Great overall dish, but very tasty! Or should I say, too savory. For drinks, I ordered a Roy Roger's, and Lexie looked at me like, "What? I had never heard of that drink before!" Poor girl, she was adorable. She's too young to have heard of that person before or that a drink was named after him. BTW, he was an American actor, singer, & TV host. Great place to eat and unwind. Great staff! read more

I have mixed emotions about this place. Although a little on the pricey side, the food here is good but oh my gosh the attitude of the employees is ridiculous. I guess that's what happens when you hire teenagers who don't have a clue about what customer service is. We were met by this snooty hostess with a " I'm too good for this job attitude " who made us wait nearly twenty minutes even though the place was not at all crowded. Then our server, miss I never smile, came by to take our drink orders. Not once did she appear to be friendly and seemed almost annoyed to do her job. The only time she forced a smile was when she handed me the check. I was so tempted not to leave a tip but I did, ten percent which seemed to be too high for her. One side of me wants to go back and give it another shot but the other side says why support a business who can't train their staff appropriately, specially with so many restaurants in the area. I don't know, we'll see. read more

The name is fitting-I imagine this is a place where all the locals come for lunch. It has a vibe that reminds me of a neighborhood hangout and I could see myself coming here regularly if I lived nearby. There is a lovely outdoor patio with umbrellas for shade. Service is attentive and professional. The wait staff are very friendly and do whatever they can to make your visit pleasant. The gumbo is delicious-although it's very spicy. I found that it was a little more runny than I would prefer and it could have used more meat than it had. The jambalaya was also tasty with a bit of a kick. I look forward to returning and trying more menu items. read more

We accidentally walked over to the wrong door and as we walked to the correct one, David was kind enough to open for us and let us in, and we all giggled since he had seen us trying to go in the wrong way. As he showed us to our table, a few other people greeted us too! We both got burgers. They come with chips (kettle chips I think) or you can upgrade to fries or salad. My friend got chips and I got fries. Burgers are 1/2 lb. It comes with basic toppings, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, bacon. I got mine without bacon. There are also other toppings you can add for a few bucks. Burger was pretty good and came out quick! Service was excellent! David was super super nice, and checked on us a few times during our visit. Plenty of parking. Place is spacious with various table sizes. Restrooms are also clean. read more

Localz has friendly staff and a solid variety of options on their menu, plus indoor and outdoor seating options. Three of us came in to check it out since we have been wanting to for awhile. I ordered a tequila sour to start which was just okay, a little on the sweet side. I tried the seared tuna melt, which was an interesting spin on a classic tuna melt. The other two at the table decided to try the burgers. Our food was okay, but nothing really wowed us. The fries are an upcharge but they weren't very good, so I would recommend sticking to chips as your side. Overall there aren't a lot of dining options in the immediate area besides fast food, so Localz fills a bit of a void. I'd rank it a-okay. read more
