The Local on The Avenue

"This was my 3rd visit. I waited to give a fair & accurate review. 1st visit for brunch with coworker nurse friends was wonderful. Food came quick. Brunch waffles were drizzled with chocolate and tasted like funnel cake! I also had a special drink with an ice cube with frozen cranberries. DELICIOUS!!! I also had cream of crab which was very good and served in a mini Dutch oven. Very cute! 2nd visit, cheesecake eggrolls again for appetizer and scallops for my meal perfectly prepared and good flavor.. Those eggrolls are really good. You don't need ketchup! 3rd visit for restaurant week! I was excited but quickly had my excitement diffused. The big boy beans unavailable. Cheesecake eggrolls unavailable. Service was slow but I really think that was only because it was crowded. The manager did a wonderful job in service recovery. If not for him, I would have felt super let down last night. Kudos to the manager on duty. This time I tried the chicken fried deviled eggs... good. Also tried the lobster pot pie- spicy??!!! A flavor I didn't expect. But overall okay. I ordered the restaurant week 4 course meal but didnt get my dessert - it was so busy me and waitress forgot. Live entertainment was nice! I'm sure I have my fav dishes now. I'll try the beef stroganoff next time. I'd definitely come back. I thought the cornbread was consistently good. Be careful because it'll ease your appetite. The waitress mentioned the kitchen was going through changes and I guess they aren't used to the crowd yet. I'll be back during a non busy day. Bathrooms clean. Very jovial atmosphere. Good vibes. (I had more pics but accidentally deleted them!)"

"Walked in, in a whim and was pleasantly surprised! Anastasia P was our server and she was awesome! Recommended the oysters and they were cooked perfectly! She also went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed what we ordered and we were completely satisfied! Thank you to Justin for checking on us and Anastasia keep the lovely bubbly personality you have you were all amazing!!!!"

"10/10 best service food and drinks I’ve had in a long time! I got the Dino, the honey bee, and the chai time and all three drinks were phenomenal! We got the fried deviled eggs, meatloaf and the brave heart farm filet and everything was amazing!! Could not have asked for a better experience. The waiter and manager were amazing, manage came up and introduced themselves. Amazing services all around"

"I stumbled onto this restaurant looking for another one. Located at The Avenue in White Marsh, this spot is a gem. After taking a seat at the bar Bret immediately came over to assist us. The drinks were amazing. Both Bret and Katie walked us through the menu and shared their favorites. They were both very patient with us as it took some time for us to decide what we wanted. Everything looked so good you felt like you would be missing out if you ordered something else. We decided to start with the country-fried deviled eggs and the sliced tuna. For the entree, we decided on the tomahawk steak which came with mashed red garlic potatoes and cream of corn. I added the mac and Cheese with crab meat, and let me just say wow. Overall this was a great accidental find for me. The only negative for me was the temperature inside. Due to garage doors, being open during the summer months, cold air found its way in. I will be coming back here again and again. That menu is amazing."

"Our server Jackie was Great! Food Prices are on the higher end but was good. My wife and I split the Tomahawk Steak. Cooked to perfection. Drink prices are on the higher end as well. The drinks are about double what you would pay anywhere else. Overall everything was great."
