| - I have been to Local West twice. On the first visit, I ordered a Blacon Burger (medium). The burger was delicious -- cooked wonderfully, well seasoned, and all of the ingredients seemed to be of great quality. On the second visit, I ordered the Jalapeno version. Same comments -- nicely cooked, good quality ingredients and great flavor. On both visits I got the mac and cheese as a side. The flavor of the mac and cheese is great, and you know they are starting with a homemade bechamel (complete with nutmeg) and building their cheese sauce from there. If I had to lobby a complaint, it would be that it was a bit oily both times as the sauce had clearly broken (but since i have this same issue half the time I try to make mac and cheese at home, I won't hold it against them). Also, just for the record, I wouldn't hate them if they tried to make some of that bechamel into a pastitsio.
Anyway, the food was great; the dining room was a little chilly by the window; the prices were fair for the quality if not a little on the high side for a casual place ($14.04 for the Blacon and mac and cheese [which has an up charge]); I didn't wait too long for my food (and even if I did, they just opened -- come on); and the staff was friendly (one of them helped me push my car, which got stuck in the parking lot).
I will be back many many times because I can't think of a better place to get a better tasting or quality fast casual burger.
