This is definately the best place to go for a drink & a bite in Edmonton
Joanna Higgins the restaurant manager is my vote for top restaurant GM in YEG and Maddy is my vote for top waitress! All the servers there are really good.. food is really good.. prices are good.. and always a good time had by all. #my-cheers
Great selection of beer. With rotating kegs. Food is excellent, menu changes slightly with the season, with continued favourites kept on. The ladies are proficient, knowledgeable and very good looking. Patio is great, the bar can be very loud, but I've never had to wait for a seat. It's a good space. Five friggin stars baby.
I was in town on business with a few coworkers of mine and Local was suggested by a few of them whom had frequented the restaurant previously. I was a little hesitant to try it as I felt I was just going to be walking into another Earls or whatever and really didn’t want that experience. Honestly, the second we walked up I thought to myself “this is such a cool spot!!” Local is a super cool spot with great ambiance and this amazing outdoor/indoor space. The service was great, the food did not disappoint one bit and the prices were on par for what we were ordering. I’d go back in a heart beat and wished we had one back in my home city as it’d be my new “go to” restaurant.
I always resort to local for the good food, reasonable prices and lively atmosphere. Service is always friendly and relaxed but can be a bit slower if there is a game or a full house but that's understandable. My favourite thing on the menu are the fish tacos and I still believe that local has the best fish tacos in the city. We also had the pulled pork poutine this visit and it was great, although I think I'd ask for no pork next time just as a personal preference. I'll be back, as always!
A go-to in summer for the patio and the drinks. Wine spritzer (cheap skate) is about 4 and some change. And the ahi tuna club or ahi tuna salad are both amazing.
Went here last Wednesday for their happy hour, $2.50 draft beer (P49 Craft Lager) and $2.50 taco... can't really beat that! If I were to go back, I would try their late night happy hour, you get a burger, bourbon and beer for $12.00! Great service and awesome food :)
We had a great lunch with great service, thought we should try a new place and are so glad that we did! The crispy chicken sandwich was huge and packed with flavour and the wife's jalapeño Caesar salad with seared ahi tuna was awesome. Pints of beer were $4.50. We will definitely be back.
We often go here for drinks, and we really like the patio. The food, however, is mediocre. There's not a lot of options,and what they do have is just okay. We usually won't bother going to Local if we want food.
Update:
I'm updating this because I tried their food again. I had the Caesar salad and really enjoyed it. The dressing was really flavourful! I enjoyed the twist on a normal Caesar with jalapeños and avocados. The blackened chicken was really juicy and delicious. My boyfriend had the steak sandwich and found it a bit tough, but liked the flavour. Drinks were good as always, probably would have food there again!
Windy day in Edmonton but still patio worthy! Walked in to a closed patio and they opened it for us! Sweet beer special on. Jeff ordered the tuna sandwich and loved it. Wife ordered chicken tortilla soup and found it just the right amount of spicy. Fries Dynamite! Great service! View of the parking lot offers plenty of opportunities to people watch!
Good music playlist and fun atmosphere.
ONE CHANGE: ADD SOME MORE MEAT TO THE PATTY. (Ordered the delux burg, super tasty just not much meat)
Favorite place for our weekly office lunch. Service is awesome and food is great (get the crispy chicken sandwich). Love this place and try to come every single week.
I love local! Always have such a good time when I'm here and everyone is always friendly. Renee Danielle Erica and Ashley are my favourite, super nice and always smiling :)
Best fish tacos in YEG hands down! Great buzzing atmosphere, also nice patio for the summer time! Service is friendly and efficient! Just need to improve bathroom cleanliness to become a 5/5
Went for Happy Hour yesterday with a friend. Place wasn't busy but you could tell it was a place that others enjoyed.
Got seat right away, their menu is easy to figure out and is clearly marked what is available for Happy Hour.
We both got their Aperol Crush to start along with some Shrimp Dumplings and Hot Wings.
The drink was great, totally something I'd love during the summer. It's also something I could see myself making at home.
The dumplings were super tasty and loved the sauces. Wings were good just right, even dipped them into the dumpling sauce and it was very good.
Ordered each a spiced Rum and coke for dessert ;) Would come back again for Happy Hour.

Had a great time at Local Eatery. Went for brunch a I will highly recommended. Fast and great service if you are their early, once it started to get busy; I am afraid to say that we waited for simple stuff. Simple stuff like coffee, milk and even my bill.
This would be my only complaint and to be honest the food made up for it. Give it a try! Let me know your thoughts and keep on eating.

Update: we have been back twice since..and each time is amazing!!! We were there today and Kat served us. Great service and amazing good.
The atmosphere was wonderful ( we went around 1130ish). Has a pub feeling but like a nice one. Staff were 100% amazing. From the host to every waitress. Our drinks were always full. They have a wide selection of food to choose from. Seating is booths and tables. Sports playing on the TV with music that is just loud enough to hear it but you can always have a conversation. The food!!!!! The food was spot on. From presentation to taste... it had it all. The wait times were good and pricing is fair. We will be back. Portions were also really good!.
I love Local’s ambience. Chill place for a date or to have a meal with friends or family. The Mains menu could see more variety. I ordered the enchiladas with blackened chicken which was a burst of flavour…very interesting. The drunken chicken was okay. Shrimp dumplings are a good bet too. For drinks I opted for Aperol Crush, which is a perfect summer drink. Service is quick and efficient.
Went on a weekday for dinner.
Great place to hang out with friends , family, or your significant other.. the food and service were fabulous. The truffle mayo is to DIE for ! Our server was awesome , very attentive, warm and friendly , went out of her way to ensure we were taken care of. She also had little scribbly notes on the bill, small gestures like that go the extra mile. Definitely recommend this place just for the food and awesome service
Decent quality food. The menu is a bit limited for entrees as half of it is taken up by brunch items that I could not order, whereas the steaks/meat dishes I would love likely go next door to Montana's if I needed to. I may try the Nachos next time to get some variety. I ended up trying their curry so that I could get away from the typical hamburgers.
Good selection of beer, however. I can only assume it's a rotating seasonal selection. Different varieties and even found a sour which is a rarity for a fan of sours like myself.
They didn't bring a spoon at first so I asked for one but was given a dessert spoon. Luckily the server's colleague noticed the mistake and brought me a proper dinner spoon without my asking. Full points for attention to detail. Good job.
Very good brunch. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was quick and friendly. We had eggs Benny, fish tacos and brisket hash. Would recommend all three.
