  • Having lived in Leaside for about 23 years and then moving out of Toronto recently, my friend and I decided to visit the Local Eatery in January. I had passed by it a bunch of times but never went in, and my friend had been there one or two times and had enjoyed the atmosphere but had never taken in the food. So my friend and I arrived at around 7 pm; service was just ramping up, downstairs was packed, the upstairs was almost packed but there were some couches and recliners to sit on, which I thought was interesting. We were served our drinks, and the music selection on the night was a mix of alternative, indie and maybe some hip-hop, I enjoy all genres but I remember them playing some Queens of the Stone Age, which was fantastic. My friend ordered the wings and I ordered the LOCAL Burger. The Wings were $11.50/lbs and The LOCAL Burger for $14.50; Cheddar and Jack cheese, hot sauce, pickled jalapeños & onions, and a side of fries. When the orders arrived I glanced at my friend's plate and thought, "Gosh, that doesn't look like a pound of wings, look how minuscule it looks, I have seen bigger wings for half the price at places in Scarborough". I guess because of the rent, taxes in the area, the clientele just ordering drinks most of the time, food is just an afterthought, and is quite expensive compared to what you can attain in other areas of Toronto. This notion was reaffirmed when I bit into my burger. It was pretty messy, and the cheese wasn't really melted, it had been grated but not melted on the patty, with all the toppings it sort of tasted like the watered down salsa of an Old El Paso Taco kit. It wasn't really appealing, but I ate in nonetheless, but it just felt slapped together and had no good flavour notes. Both my friend and I were still not sated by the orders and were left wanting more. I would recommend this place for the atmosphere but not for the food. If you want better food go up or down Laird or go onto Bayview.
