American restaurant · Deep Ellum

"With Tatsu a few blocks away and a slew of stunty, high-end restaurants at the other end of the Good Latimer Expressway, Local is no longer the sole fine dining restaurant in Deep Ellum. But despite having the trappings of a notable locale (inside the former Boyd Hotel, which is landmarked as the oldest standing hotel in the city) and a seasonal tasting menu, it is severely overlooked by diners. The signature fried chicken is as excellent as it was back in 2003 when it opened, and the atmosphere is moodier and funkier than anything to be found in a new glass box of a building." - Courtney E.
