Friday lunchtime. Good-to-great lunch food. My go-to sandwich is the Gulf Seafood sandwich - shrimp and crab meat. I tried the chicken soup today and it was good. Wife had the crispy chicken sandwich which is her regular choice. Teas and Lemonade drinks are refreshing. I would mix all three flavors into 1 drink, tastes okay for me.

I Ordered something I didn’t like and told Trey. He was nice and so understanding. Dealing with issues with my stomach he recommended something lite and healthy that was DELICIOUS!!!! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. First time here but it will not be my last. Trey is awesome 👏 thank you for coming over talking with me and being so attentive. The Vegan Carrot Cake is OMG GOOD!

What are the best restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. Lots of great options. All farm to table came around brunch time on a Sunday and got the breakfast plate. Probably one of the biggest bang for the buck values I’ve ever gotten for breakfast at any place. Sausage and potatoes were scrumptious. The jam tasted like it was just made. I can’t think of one bad thing to say. I definitely plan to come back and try everything on the menu. Lots of seating staff is super helpful. This is a finally run establishment.

Local Foods is a staple Houston restaurant. They are excellent at what they do! There are many locations but the one in the Heights is our favorite. The menu is the perfect size to where there is a multitude of options but quality isn’t sacrificed. The crunchy chicken sandwich on the pretzel bun is my favorite item with the banh mi close by in second place. The fresh fruit, chips, and potato salad are all great sides. I definitely recommend local foods to anyone in Houston.

Good salads here. The Asian chicken is my favorite and the rest was fine but nothing special in my opinion. Great portion sizes

Really good all in all! I got the “crunchy chicken” and my boyfriend for the “bahn mi” with a side of potato salad and chips. The potato salad was good but it definitely had too much stuff going on and not enough potato. The chips were good but some were salty.

I always enjoy eating at Local Foods. Can’t go wrong with the crunchy chicken sandwich, quinoa burger, or the power bowl. Two of us got the beef sandwich and the seasoning used on the beef missed the mark for us. Wish they would have kept it more simple. Also, some of the sides are quite salty. Other than that, the ambiance and staff were great.

This healthy food spot was definitely a great choice. Food was excellent and we would want to visit again sooner than later. Atmosphere is lively and modern

My friend and I thought we'd try this place for lunch Tuesday. So glad we did. Everything was delicious. I had the BLT with avocado and asked for no egg. With two sides it was a big lunch for me but I enjoyed all of it. Easy ordering and quick service. Really good.

One of our favorite lunch spots!!! If you’re looking for some healthy, fresh, local options this is your go to place. The atmosphere is bright and refreshing with a fantastic outside dining area (especially in fall). Everyone is nice and welcoming and the food is great. They have the BEST cashew queso. I highly recommend this spot and we will be back

I’ve been coming here for years and I can say with confidence that I will continue to do so. The location is on the exercise trail. The patio is sizable and comfortable for small or larger groups. The food is excellent. That pseudo fried chicken sandwich is amazing as is the avocado toast. For drinkers, the mimosas are exquisite. I’ve never had a bad experience in 5+ years, and the servers, bartenders, cashiers and bussers are all so friendly. Enjoy!

This is a normally good place. However, they had a “gumbo” , but it was not gumbo. Maybe inspired by gumbo, but definitely nowhere close to gumbo. Worst of all, it was loaded with beans. It was more like a bad chilli with shrimp. Do not eat this if you like gumbo. Consistency and flavors were way off. Stick to the sandwiches and salads.

What a great experience we had during the 2023 Memorial Day weekend. We stopped by at the Local Foods - Heights location on our way to Freeport. We ordered the Crunch Chicken Sandwich with Kale Salad and House Chips, it was delicious and very fast. The place was busy during the lunch time but our food came in less than 5 minutes. I hope we can have one location in Dallas, thank you guys!

Nice crowd, laid back. Kids are very welcome here. So many drinks to choose from and fast service. Plenty of healthy and vegan options for you to choose from. Great place to people watch and hang out.

Reliably great food. Been coming to Local Foods/Benjys when they were originally in the Rice Village before they were spread out with multiple locations. Somehow they manage to keep the quality of food in check. Always try to get my fix in at least once a month.

I’ve had this spot saved as a “want to go” forever! It was even better than the name and reputation prepare you for too. I had the vegan meatball sandwich with chips and kale salad and my daughter had the seafood sandwich. Both were amazing! The vegan meatball was their own creation that was tasty and toothy like a beefy meatball would be. The seafood was fresh tasting, salty and stuffed with seafood. Definitely get their great deals on bottles of wine and sit outside if it’s pleasant at all.

The food here is always fresh. My husband likes the Vegan meatball sub and the cashew queso, while I enjoy the crunchy chicken sandwich. Also the seasonal lemonade is tasty. Watermelon mint lemonade is the current flavor

Had another great Local Foods meal. This time it was at the Heights location. Pleasant, helpful and friendly staff. Ambience is airy with large windows and plenty of natural light. As usual we were pleased with our meals. Definitely recommend. Enjoy

The food is delicious associated with a wonderful service. Everyone in the staff was nice and attentive.. Best place we have enjoyed while we were in the area.

Great location with fantastic food. I am a frequent flyer at the Rice Village location and this location doesn't disappoint either. Beautiful building in the Heights. The Hispanic guy working the cashier was extremely friendly. Food is great and the ambiance is lively. I came today for takeout. Got my usual: crunchy chicken sandwich with chips and the seasonal fruit (watermelon all summer long!). I also picked up the vegan meatball sub with the pozole for my girlfriend. She's currently sick so the cup of green pozole was the perfect antidote on this weekend afternoon. My only complaint is that the watermelon was really skimpy today! Only two small pieces where I've definitely had a bigger portion (twice the size at least) when eating in. Otherwise, a great time. Will definitely be back!
