Great service and tasty food. The Local is a hidden gem of Chicago's dining scene. Casual atmosphere surprises you with high-quality comfort food with a few elevated options to consider as well.

The guys behind Chicago Cut Steakhouse opened The Local Chicago in the Gold Coast, serving classic comfort food like ribs and pot pie. The corner patio has 60 seats. http://tmout.us/lKTEo Read more

This was one of the best restaurant experiences i've ever had. Try the scottish salmon reuben- it sounds strange but it's SO good. Also the cookies are to DIE for- huge and perfectly baked.

Monday meatloaf special is sublime! Service is fantastic (especially from Marcus) and the wine list is on an iPad, even incorporating Google Maps to show where the wine comes from!

Burgers are massive, order what you enjoy usually, service (refills etc) was amazing, lobster quesadilla is a MUST HAVE!

The guys behind this place (and also Chicago Cut Steakhouse) must know that it looks like a commonplace restaurant in the Hilton Suites Hotel. Read more

Had the pulled pork with sweet potato fries. Not in love with the pork. Eager to try the burger next time.

Service is amazing, I think everyone working here has checked on us. Breakfast is delicious and more than enough food.

Skirt steak and truffled eggs are delicious! If it's nice out sit on patio!

Split a trio of prime-beef (seriously) sliders or go heartier with the excellent meatloaf. Read more

The burgers are very tasty but the drinks are the show stoppers at this place. A bit pricy but the service is fab.

The meatloaf is to die for. It's now served every day of the week. I'm in heaven.

Perfection comes in the form of the Dr. Pepper BBQ Baby Back Ribs.

Did not live up to expectation. Service was slow and food was not very good. I had high hopes for a classic comfort meal when I ordered the thanksgiving meal. Dry turkey and cornbread, poor service.

Been here 5+ times
The filet and poached eggs is delicious.

Good local beers but not amazing good. Steak was greasy. Unattentive bar tenders.
Keith FrambroAugust 8, 2014
Excellent food, highly recommend the Chicken Pot Pie

Nothing special about this restaurant. Maybe their dinner menu is tastier. The breakfast menu says "eggs any style" but they would not make it hard boiled for me :(

Pricey, good food and good service.
Johnny ArmstrongFebruary 15, 2014

P.S. you can't get a Mimosa before 11:00 am.
Laurie Thomas-DurecJuly 11, 2016
Prime rib sliders!
Marcia FrostMarch 21, 2013
Yes, cornbread is great!

I went in on a Sunday around 130pm (not busy at all). I waited 20 minutes and no waiter came around. No one seemed to notice the loner at the table :( so i left. How rude!

Their waffles were good but kinda dry...
