    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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!

    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

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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 :(

    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!
