The food was on point and flavorful. The elote burger was a special and it lived up to the expectation. The French fries were hot and crisp. The service was top notch and I never saw an empty glass during the meal. They had big TVs throughout the restaurant and they had college bowl games on, so you do not have to worry about missing any part of the game. I highly recommend The Local and I will be visiting every time I am in town.

Both took most of their meals home. I had a grilled cheese, mostly because it was the only vegetarian option available. I had a few bites and was done. Their specially seasoned fries were also blah. I wouldn't return and don't recommend.

During nice weather you can grab a seat outside and look over the water. They even provide pontoon rides during the warmer months (great way to enjoy a drink while you wait for your table). In the last several years they have gone through some significant renovations, especially with the outside seating areas. There is the restaurant on the first floor, and an event space on the second floor. Made 6:30 reservations for Wednesday for 4, and got right in. Had a table by the large windows that look for the patio and lake. Very pretty spot. Got greeted immediately by our server, who did a great job the entire evening. (thanks Laura). Got us water, took our drink order, along with an order for Onion Rings. The onion rings didn't take long, and they were excellent. Crispy with an interesting texture, hot, and served with a side of ranch (could have used more of that). The drinks were good, with the exception of one glass of a beer flight which was super flat, and was happily replaced by the server. For entrees we got: BLT, Blacked Fish Tacos (with extra bacon), Pesto Encrusted Salmon, and Salmon Power Salad. A note about the Pesto "Encrusted" Salmon. It's not really "encrusted", more like a scoop of pesto placed on top of the Salmon, and they finished under a broiler? Good but not what was expected. Didn't take that long for the food to arrive. It was all very good. The tacos were fresh, great flavor and hot. The fries that came with it, were NOT as not as I would like. Both grilled salmon entrees were also very good. The Power Bowl was excellent, with lots of fresh greens and other yummy add ins (goat cheese, blueberries, etc) A very good evening, with the exception of a couple of small hiccups.

Just a head's up....we were the first people that had ever presented the pass book here...nobody knew or understood what it was. After explaining it to the servers, they had to get the manager to figure it out. We were originally charged the full price while we waited for the manager. When he came out, he refunded the $10 back to our credit card (it looks like he cancelled the first transaction and rerung our order up under the new total). Apparently they don't have a stamp, so he just signed the space in our book, which is fine. Onto the food...we both got the double Milk Can cheeseburger, tots, and curds. I got a Dr. Pepper and hubs got a beer. The burger was good. It was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of cheese and condiments. Because it was a double, it filled me up fairly quickly, but I was determined to eat at least some of the sides. The tots were tots; nothing special, but they were a nice change from fries. The curds were really good. Lightly breaded and cooked to perfection, they knock Culver's curds out of the water. They come with a small tub of ranch which wasn't needed, honestly, but was a good accompaniment. If you haven't been here yet, I encourage you to check it out. I would like to come back to try their ice cream concoctions, and maybe pick up some pints to go! 28/2025

However, after seeing…read moreorders of wings next to me at the bar, prior to ordering, I thought I would order two types of wings and more than disappointed . Mine were so small and out of a dozen, only two drumettes. When I brought it to the bartender's, attention, who I believe is the owner's daughter, she said well they are 50 cent wings and your order is normal with the attitude of what do you expect. Afterwards, I saw a number of wings which by far surpassed my order, again. Recognizing this and giving a fair order of wings would have kept this customer coming back. Besides waited 20 minutes for a drink. We arrived before 5:00 and missed happy hour as a result. That did not upset me as I could see the first bartender was really busy. Last note, there was a bug crawling on my husband's shoulder a couple times which I thought could be a cockroach. I googled it and pretty sure that's what I saw after swatting it off my husband's shoulder and second time stomped on it. I even searched bugs that look like cockroaches and unfortunately none of those matched what I saw. Should have lefts and canceled my order right then and there.

This time it was a Sunday evening. Not that busy. A few people at the bar, and two other tables of people. Got seated right away. Waters, and menus were close behind. Ordered several cocktails and a beer. My Poloma was good, but nothing special. We ordered a Wisconsin Pub Burger, Smoked Brisket Sandwich and a cup of minestrone soup. Didn't take to long for the food to come out. Everything appeared to be freshly made, good temperatures, and the portions were generous. That sandwiches were both good. The burger was medium-rare as ordered and well constructed. Great taste. The fries were hot, and had the right amount of salt. The brisket sandwich was good, but the meat was skimpy for the size of the bun. The soup was good. Not much impressed with the service. There was one person running several tables. Felt like they were new and didn't know much about the menu items or the drinks. Did check on us once after serving our food, but that was it. Had to flag them down for another drink, extra napkins and the bill. A good experience, but nothing that inspired us to want to come back soon.
