Great food - friendly service - quick
The local is right on the outer side of Liberty Village. My friend and I have passed it many times but have never gone in. After a rough night out we went in on a Saturday morning for some "recovery brunch". It was empty! Maybe the local is looked at more of a dinner and drinks location because I got western vibes. But that was no issue for us because we were seated right away.
We looked at the menu a head of time so we were ready to order right away. The menu had your standard brunch offerings and the usual price point. We both ordered the classic Eggs Benedict with bacon. My bestie got tea which came with the nicest tea bag and I got coffee.
Our bennies came in about 10 minutes... with little smoothie shots in the middle! Omg they were such a small addition but honestly made the biggest impact. It could be because we were kind of hungover (lulz) but damn, those smoothie shot #blessing. Also, the potatoes were great. Sometimes with bennies the side suffers but at Local the potatoes were well cooked, crispy and had a cilantro drizzle that was so refreshing.
Our server was very attentive, refreshed both of our beverages and was friendly. The food portions were great and we left very satisfied from beginning to end. Will be visiting the Local again!
