Review of The Local

Contacted them a few days prior to confirm that they still offer GF buns and that kids under 18 can get in. The answer was yes to both (if with a parent). We arrived at 5:30 to meet with friends who live locally, we both have teens. Able to get a seat with no problem and was told there’s no GF menu but the hostess was happy to go over what could be made/was naturally GF. My daughter ordered a salad and added grilled chicken, I ordered a burger with fries. I forgot to ask about the fries but honestly the server seemed annoyed with us because our friends were late and none of us drank, so just hoping for the best. My daughter didn’t know her salad would come with croutons but is fine with taking them off. My bun didn’t have a toothpick or anything that indicates GF so I asked the person who brought it out and she felt that it was but went back to confirm. Our food was really good, the burger was surprisingly thick and l we had large portions. The music was from a recording label that was showcasing their new artists but sadly, the first ones up played a long time and so l the only ones we heard. I would go back but would hope for a different waitress since she was the only rude one, even charged us an extra fee for salad dressing despite my daughter telling her that none came on it to begin with. And they made my friend give her a card to start a tab when no alcoholic beverages were being ordered.
