I've been coming here for years and it's one of my favorite restaurants. Everything is fresh and flavorful. I've had a lot of dishes but my go to's are the Egg Salad Sandwich (on wheat because the pretzel bun does not agree with me) and the Taco Salad which by the way is vegan. My daughter was with me on this day and she ordered the Asian Salad with Tofu (subbed the chicken). They are very accommodating. The potato salad, kale salad, and chips are great sides. You really can't go wrong with anything here. Don't pass on dessert... chocolate chip cookies and carrot cupcake. The service and staff are great. Great ambiance with beautiful decor. Big outdoor space and dog friendly. Plenty of parking.

The manager of this place should teach a class in hospitality- wow they know how to treat customers really well! The food was fantastic, it came out fast. Served excellent vegan food. Two workers told my daughter happy birthday and took time to speak with us. Super attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is gorgeous. Top notch place 10/10

Locals food continues to be my favorite restaurant. The crunchy chicken sandwich always hits the spot! This location has ample indoor AND outdoor seating, and there are fans in place to make sure you don't get too hot. This location also has pre-made bottled cocktails available for purchase. The lavender lemonade gin mix was delicious!

Always have a great time when we visit. We get the crunchy chicken and posole soup. Can't go wrong!

Vegan Taco Salad - Wow! Did not need the dressing! The salad is very satisfying and sports HALF an avocado on top. So very tasty and I will have to back soon to have it again. Staff are excellent at this location. Get there before 12 noon if you want to eat lunch inside. Very big patio, if you get there too late.

I ordered their avacado blt and got mushy discolored tomatoes that I had to peel out of the sandwhich. The pickles and quinoa broccoli were good but I would quality check your food first. For $25 I would have expected quality ingredients and better presentation. You only get like 1 ingredient every bite.

Very delicious and quality food. Great selections of wine and drink. Sit outside in the patio. Lots of shade. The service is good. Very attentive to their customers.

What a yummy place! Service was fantastic, atmosphere was great, and I was genuinely surprised by how delicious the food was. Well done! I hope to visit here again and love this food joint. Would highly recommend to anybody in the area or in town visiting.

Honestly a lovely experience, this establishment is very well managed. The ambiance is perfect for any afternoon, with a soft lighting and unique farmhouse style interior this is a great place for breakfast or lunch. The manager Robert is extremely kind and was so accommodating when I told him it was my birthday. Definitely coming back more often!!

Nice restaurant, refreshing concept... Liked the mood, liked the food 👌 Try "MĀKMËL Wine" there, a unique Lebanese Boutique wine... you can also buy it off the shelf 🍷 Cheers

Wish we had this in my hometown. My crunchy chicken & lake salad was delicious! It was busy at lunchtime but the order line was quick and we got our food quickly too.

This place is nice, very chill, and spacious, the staffs are great as well. It's always a safe choice for me to go there. I like their salad a lot. It comes with a big bowl. I recommend the Asia Chicken Salad, that's a good one to start.

Not your typical menu. But great flavors and seems pretty healthy. Vibe here is really cool too. Service was solid. Had gluten free options labeled clearly.

I was so excited to try this place and it smells amazing. They have scratch made sandwiches that I was so excited to try. Got to the register and had a whole conversation with the employee about what sandwiches were the top seller and how to order so that I could get the soup and one side instead of two sides and because of a miscommunication I ended up only getting the soup :( However, the customer service was so on point! They fixed it and we’re just as kind and lovely as they could be. So happy we stopped here and we will be back 100%

Great place to lunch and enjoy good vibes with friends. It’s located in Upper Kirby and shares the parking lot with Soul Cycle. What I like best about this place is the wine selection. The food is good (healthy food can be hit or miss sometimes). The menu notes the items that are vegan, gluten free, nut free—so pay close attention to that. Sandwich items can be turned into salads. The menu items are eclectic in my option and at first blush you may be inclined to not try a thing so ask for recommendations. I’ve been here a few times and haven’t been disappointed. Today I tried the shrimp and crab sandwich on the gluten free sourdough bread. Sandwich was good—not overly flavorful but still satisfying. The bread didn’t taste much like sourdough but I have no complaints. The chicken soup is top notch. Safe are friendly and attentive. The indoor and outdoor seating are both vibes. The places doesn’t accept cash so be mindful of that.

Local Foods on Kirby quickly became my go-to when I moved to Houston a few years ago. I have loved basically everything I have gotten there. My favorite is the garden sammie with chicken… it’s maybe my favorite sandwich I’ve ever gotten. I get just as excited about their soups and sides as I do their sandwiches. You can even get a sandwich in salad form instead! Any person I’ve ever brought there has loved it too. Better yet, they have tons of options to accommodate food intolerances/allergies which helps me out a lot whole lot given I can’t eat dairy or eggs, and that normally limits me a lot. The service is always fantastic, and parking is so easy at this location. I avoid the Heights location just based on parking alone, but I have never had an issue at the Kirby location. Ordering online through the Toast app is a piece of cake too. I highly recommend!

cute spot with outdoor seating, but just didn’t like what i ordered. power bowl was too salty & saucy for my liking. lentils seemed over cooked and paired with the cauliflower rice, the whole dish seemed soggy. the rest of the menu looks delicious, so i plan to come back and try other items

I recently stopped here for a late ⏰ lunch around 2:30 pm. I’ve seen this place slammed packed 🧑‍💼👩‍💼👨🏾‍💼 so I decided to stop. No line, So I proceeded with my order of a Braised Beef Sandwich 🥪 with 2 orders of chips. The lady had the same with Mushroom 🍄 Soup 🥣 to accompany her Sandwich 🥪. I must say this is one of the most delectable 😋, mouth 👄 watering 🤤 sandwiches I have eaten in my life. R-C RANCH WAGYU, BACON, FRIED EGG, DAIRYMAIDS' GORGONZOLA, CARAMELIZED ONIONS, WATERCRESS, AIOLI, JALAPENO BUN. Taste 👅 Just as Good 👍🏾 as it Sounds. Flavors you can Savor as long as the Bun does! Tip( The Carrot Cake will make you want to shake your great great grandmother 👵)

The food is always fresh and delicious. So many interesting options. I had the Harvest Salad with chicken and it was amazing! Had to save room for my vegan carrot cake cupcake so I took some of my salad to go. Don't judge.... when I get the opportunity to have a good vegan dessert (that's not sorbet), I'm taking it!
