Waitress was racist toward my partner. Only asked what I wanted to order and completely ignored him even when he was speaking to her and just turn away. Unprofessional.

While the food / steak and chimichurri was great, the 20 oz bone in ribeye is not worth $90.

Local typical is about the only thing humble here. This place was terrific. The service was very attentive, the selection was very good and diverse and the good was terrific. The smoke chicken fry was hands down one of the best with the firm buttery mashed potatoes. The Hamilton Burger was an absolute hit! I cannot wait to come back for dessert! Bring your appetite!

I love this restaurant, and the staff is amazing. They go the extra mile to really take care of their customers, and it shows through all that they do.

We really have loved this place and as a family we were excited to dine there this last Saturday evening. My husband made a reservation and we were seated on time.My husband ordered the pork chop, I ordered the market fish with risotto and our son a burger. We said to to waitress to bring our appetizer bbq sampler before and instead we got everything at the same time, they were so busy they apologized they messed up in that but then the biggest dissatisfaction is to spend 125.00 of our hard earned money on underwhelming food, my fish dish just blah was so forgettable no flavor and my husband said his dish was nothing special.We feel waitress really was not to blame for our bad experience.The best dishes were our kids burger and the appetizer.We are so bummed!We understand it’s hard to run a restaurant and as they grow this can happen but not motivated to go back for an underwhelming experience.

Visited on a Friday evening for dinner. We chose to sit on the patio, which is lovely, but the city is working on the road so the view leaves a lot to be desired. Not necessarily the restaurant's fault but just a forewarning mid-2024.Food and service were fantastic. Spencer was attentive, friendly, and recommended the other Local Yocal venues in town which we're likely to check out based on our experience.Definitely coming back soon to try a few other dishes on the menu that looked appetizing.

This place is the epitome of a hometown gem! We frequently visit here and it's always our top pick when showing out-of-towners a taste of local flavor. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel right at home. Every dish is a delight – truly divine! Don't miss out on asking about the nightly features; they're always worth it. If you're unsure what to order, I highly recommend starting with the BBQ sampler or the salmon dip, and for mains, you can't go wrong with the McKinney cut or whatever market fish they have available!

Exceptional customer service!Exceptional LoYo burger seasoned & cooked to perfection!I ordered ToGo but I walked out without the side of sauce that I had requested. A server named Kiwi made the effort to run out to the parking lot to catch me and deliver it before I drove away. THAT is the culture of service at all Local Yocal businesses. Well Done Local Yocal!

Service was amazing!To start, the smoked onion dip was AMAZING!I’d recommend the BBQ sampler, possibly sub the ribs as these were severely overcooked and dry. The mashed potatoes were bomb and yellow mac and cheese with the brisket was great!The greens beans were mid.Would NOT recommend the banana pudding pie.

Food was bland, had no seasoning except an excess amount of salt. Extremely over priced food, server seemed like she had better things to do than serve us, not attentive.
