The Local Room 215 South Central Avenue, Locust, NC 28097

"We went with friends last night and it was sadly lacking in most all areas. Our food took an hour to come out, and the fries were cold, and the salmon and chicken were undercooked and raw. We told our waitress and she said they had already had several complaints. No one came to discuss anything else with us, she just gave us a free dessert. For a 100 meal for two people, you'd think we'd get a better response or at least have management come speak to us. We love to support local businesses and being our first time there left us very disappointed."

"Tonight’s dinner was absolutely fantastic. The food was great with generous portions, the drinks were absolutely delicious and our server, Michelle, really was over the top amazing! I think her level of service really took our evening to the next level. Almost all of our drinks were excellent with great flavor although I would skip the painkiller. Every item we ate was simply delicious especially the fried burrata and onion soup-but it’s not fair to skip mention the steaks and rosemary potatoes. The apple side was an amazing dessert as was the cheesecake. We are sorry it took us so long to make it here, but plan to be back often and soon. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a delicious meal at a great price. Also, if you are able to sit with Michelle-I highly recommend it!"

"My wife and I came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. I had the Salmon and my wife had a burger with loaded fries. Everything was delicious. We sat at the bar. Very good service. Nice and friendly service. Clean restaurant."

"We enjoy the occasional outing to The Local room. They provide great professional service, a great atmosphere (you can dress up or dress down), perfect for dates or family meals, and nice location to home. Drinks are amazing! The only thing we're not 100% is the food. Some dishes are amazing, and others are bleh. For instance, my husband ordered the chicken and shrimp linguine, and it was super oily/watery.. the bottom of the bowl held a cup of oil or water. Sadly not worth the high prices sometimes.."

"My husband & I enjoyed lunch today.. The establishment’s nice, warm atmosphere was topped off with wonderful, relaxing music, played by a solo guitarist. Our choice of an Appetizer was the Southern Egg Roll and it was delicious! For our main course, I chose the Harvest Salad & my husband had a House Burger, both were very good. Very friendly staff, and a very clean restaurant. We enjoyed it and will be back again."
