    Food

    Staff show love and passion for the food industry. If it's the kitchen, or if its servers, they have love and are willing to share. I would like to share a moment of a nice photo I have from there. Also my mom and I love spending time in the atmsophere they have created

    An extra touch- a doggie menu!

    We found this place when looking for a place to stop after a long road trip. Our expectations were exceeded! I had called just to confirm they were "patio dog friendly"- they confirmed so we headed to The Local. We arrived and they already had a table set for us on the patio- complete with water for our pups and an adorable doggie dinner menu and cookie. The people food was amazing too. The service, the ambiance and food were top notch! Boise is lucky to have such a great local spot! We will be back!

    9. Smash Sliders

    8/27/2024 this is in an easy to find spot. We walked in and chose a seat outside today. Our server was super sweet and took great care of us. I ordered the sliders and my friend got a BLT with a Cesar salad. The food came out in a timely manner, and it all looked so fresh and delicious. The three sliders were able to fill me up, and my friend also loved her meal too. I will definitely be back to try more off their menu, and I can't wait! Thanks for taking great care of us and for making high quality, delicious food to eat. The restaurant has indoor, outdoor and bar seating. It was pretty slow when we came in around 11:30 am.

    Very colorful and fresh. The veggies tasted great and the grilled chicken on top was juicy. I would've liked a bit more dressing but overall it was tasty and clean.

    Dog Friendly Patio

    The Local The Local in Boise is "a neighborhood Eatery and Wine Pub, offering live music and rotating artists." They also have a dog, friendly patio and a Dog menu. MW and I visited during Happy Hour, which is Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 5 PM. We ordered a mix of items off of the happy hour menu and the regular menu. We started with Hurricane Popcorn - A Hawaiian favorite - with Nori Furikaki and Japanese rice crackers. It was very flavorful and unlike any popcorn I've ever had before. This is a unique menu items The Local is known for. We ordered two side Caesar salads. I like that it had homemade croutons, but it needed a little more more dressing. We shared an order of Carnitas Street Tacos, to which we added 1 extra taco. The pork was tender, but the tacos were pretty bland. We shared an order of Smash Sliders - 3 smash burgers using our own custom burger blend from Porterhouse in Eagle, with classic American cheese. They were tasty. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a photo! We shared two desserts: Berry Crisp - Blackberry cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream. The berry crisp was excellent! Crème Brûlée - Simple and delicious vanilla crème brulee. The crème brûlée was good, but not great. The texture wasn't as creamy as it should've been. We visited early on a weekday, so we didn't get to hear any live music, but we pretty much had the place to ourselves until towards the end of our visit. Overall, the food was good, but not great. However, they do have a bigger menu than most wine bars and they allow dogs on the patio. The Dog Menu looks excellent! The Local has a nice Wine Menu, as well as several local beers on tap. If you're looking for a nice wine bar with a neighborhood pub vibe, The Local is worth considering. I would like to return and try their Pepe's Famous Fish Tacos. The pictures of their flatbread look excellent too. * The Local is wheelchair accessible. Recommended!

    The service is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The food is delicious, homemade, and mouthwatering. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Clean, and welcoming tones. They have a patio with heaters- live music. Dog/kid friendly for summer night!

    Dog menu!

    Dog friendly, great food, and a nice patio. They were out of a few things we wanted to order but I'm just going to assume that's because I have great taste and they were really popular! Overall it was a great stop for us on our way through town.

    Great food, semi-friendly staff (needs improvement) and good ambiance (aside from a few tacky paintings that they are trying to sell).
