LOCAL Public Eatery Henderson

We had the BBQ pull pork pasta, peanut butter chicken salad, and the smoked trout dip as a starter! And EVERY dish was goooood! For cocktails, we had the sassy sangria. Not my favorite but it was different and still good. And to top it off, we went during happy hour. Drinks: $5-9 🙌🏾 Food: $8-11

Food and drinks were pretty good. Patio area is also nice. We made a reservation and were seated immediately when we arrived. Service and food were good, until it suddenly just wasn’t. We ordered a drink tower to start and got that in a timely manner and same with our food. After the meal, we decided to have another round of drinks. There were plenty of tables available so we were not stopping them from seating other people. After ordering our drinks, we waited with nobody coming to our table for about 15 minutes. Our waitress walked by a few times but never acknowledged us. I eventually had to wave down someone (looked to be a manager) and he said he would check on our drinks. He disappeared for another 10 minutes and finally came back with our drinks. At this point, we were close to having to leave so somewhat had to rush drinking them. I’d maybe go back again, but it was a little off putting to end the experience like this. Like I said overall food was good and service wasn’t bad until this.

Josh and Cadence made the experience amazing. They were super friendly and made sure to check on us and conversation with us to the point where it felt like we were friends. Josh even squeezed our party of 6 in although the restaurant was busy. Food was phenomenal as well!

Great spot, large menu, and open till 2am. Our server Jayla was great

WOW! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for a date night or a cozy dinner with friends. The staff was friendly and attentive! The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor—especially the Truffle Cheeseburger, which was a true highlight. You can tell that quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation are top priorities here. From appetizers to dessert, everything was spot-on. This place has easily become one of our new favorites, and we can’t wait to come back!

The food and drinks were the best! Cadence was the absolute sweetest server ever!! We loved her and will def be coming back.

Sat on the patio and it was pretty hot. They definitely need some more fans out there. Also the patio chairs are plastic so if you are in shorts then your legs are just a sweaty mess. Server disappeared/ignored us for 40 minutes and a manager took our order. He was great and comped one of our rounds of drinks so I appreciated that. Food was out at a decent time after he put the order in. Caesar salad was very good and so were the shrimp dumplings. Pizza has a good crust. Drinks were very good. I’ll be back and hope for better service.

Overall atmosphere and service were great!! Managers and team were all going out of their way to make sure everyone was having a great experience. Food and drinks were all great! Love that I can get a frozen drink without booze! Especially for only being open for a couple weeks, we were very impressed!! Can’t wait to visit again. We had a reservation for the OU/Texas game. There was a line outside but we were sat immediately. They did a great job of mitigating the crowd and making everyone feel welcome and comfortable!

Absolutely love this spot! I have literally come here weekly since it opened and I've loved every meal I've ever gotten here. Josh is always so welcoming and makes sure we have everything we need. 10/10 recommend- only complaint is that service always takes awhile. Gorgeous atmosphere always playing good games also!

From the moment we walked in the atmosphere felt very inviting. The restaurant is stylish yet comfortable, with a great vibe that set the tone for the evening. The space is clean, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. The staff greeted us with genuine hospitality and made us feel right at home. They have several massive TV screens that my husband was able to enjoy the game on, which was a huge plus for him! The stars of the show were without a doubt the steak and fries, the Local burger, and the Spicy Salami pizza. Incredibly flavorful, tender meat, and fresh ingredients. The fries were just as impressive: golden, crispy, and seasoned to perfection. The bar was a highlight on its own. Located in the middle of the restaurant, it's a very impressive centrepiece. The cocktails were beautifully made and well-balanced, with bartenders who clearly know their craft. I had a glass of wine as well which was perfect temp. Add in exceptional service throughout the evening and you've got a place we can't wait to return to. Attentive but never overbearing, I was very impressed with the fun and friendly service! An all-around standout! 10/10

Reagan is the best! She took care of our large group with so much ease! We had a blast with her!!!

The loaded potatoes were delicious and elevated. This was a unique dish! The ramen was yummily hot and savory; as an Asian I judge noodles by temperature and spice. The fried chicken that accompanied it as the protein was super crispy...almost too crispy, but my husband thought it was perfect. His burger and fries looked delicious, and I hope to get a bite next time! The service was exceptional and professional! Great spot for a Sunday brunch!

A frequent in my book. I've eaten here 3 separate occasions, once when the restaurant recently opened and the wait was crazy. Fortunately the hype has gone down some so it's not super crazy. Hidden gem when it comes to drinks as they do regular happy hour and late night happy hour past 9. And discounts when the local teams (Mavs, Cowboys and Stars) are playing. Featuring group drinks such as carafes and beer towers. Really good place to start and get the night going and hop the the other bars down the road. As for the food, the crispy potato appetizer is a must! As well as the fish taco. It was juicy and flavorful. Decided to get the poke bowl and for an American restaurant it was actually pretty good!

I've been to Local Public Eatery Henderson twice--surprisingly. The first visit didn't go well at all. My friend and I were added to the waitlist for a table for two, but we never received a text, a call, anything. After nearly two hours of waiting and checking in, the hostess (who was unfortunately quite rude and dismissive) told us to go elsewhere for a drink and food. It felt like we were being shrugged off--really disappointing, especially since we were genuinely excited to try the place. Fast forward to my second visit--against my better judgment, we gave it another shot. This time, we went during a weekday lunch and were seated quickly. We ordered two local wheat beers and chicken kale salads. The vibe was great--airy, relaxed, and welcoming, and our server was kind and attentive. But despite the calm lunch crowd (we were one of only four tables), the food took forever to arrive. For salads. At a nearly empty restaurant. I'm torn. There's a lot of potential here--the ambiance is spot on, and our second server was lovely--but the hospitality is hit or miss, and that first experience with the hostess left a lasting impression. It wouldn't have taken much to offer a simple update or apology, instead of radio silence and attitude. I might give it one more try, but I'm definitely cautious. When it comes to customer service, a little effort goes a long way--and I hope they start showing it.

Excellent service - Brandy was so sweet and totally on it without being obtrusive. The food, not so much. EVERYTHING was WAY overly salted. The Regular Pizza was covered with a thick coating of oil (olive???). It was awful. The fully loaded baked potato appie wasn't my gig, but my friend really liked them. The shrimp dumplings were okay, but honestly Trader Joe's dumplings are far better, and the sauce they were served in was a giant sodium bath. We didn't have any alcoholic beverages (it was a work night)...however the list looked good.

I came for dinner and drinks tonight on 7/19 with a large group of people. We had NO issues with service or anything at all until Richard, the bar manager, started engaging our table and was a complete jerk to our table. He kept walking by our table saying he needed space to walk but no other server was saying that and he had plenty of space. We were as close to the table aa we could be and everytime he kept saying it wasn't enough space and then he started saying he was going to kick us out. Our collective fab was over $700 and Andrea was a fantastic server who was enjoying our enjoying our table, when we closed and probably would have been $1500 if it wasn't for Richard being a complete jerk to us, we ultimately decided to leave and we told and he said "good, glad you are." Please keep in mind all the servers helping us said we were great and implied he is a jerk. We went to another establishment and spent $1000 that could have been LPE. This is not the type of person who should be working in customer service and if there was a capacity issue it should have been addressed at the hostess. I really enjoy LPE, but I will not be coming back after Richards display tonight's. Our server was amazing but it did take 20 minutes to get any drink we ordered so he is clearly not focused customer service and bar management.

On the way to the porch, we saw the LPE and stopped there for lunch instead. We ordered two local burgers with the double patty. Substituted cheddar cheese and had the side Caesar salad instead of fries. That was a nice substitute at no extra charge. The patties were made with quality meat. Only disappointment was the patties were small and didn't fill out the bun. The room was loud but bearable. Had large screen TVs for sports viewing and a nice bar area.

So far I have come here for brunch and for happy hour! They have a killer happy hour. The menu is really big so it can be a little overwhelming, but I'm convinced you can't go wrong with any of it. My only bone to pick with them is that they don't offer regular ranch and they don't have ice water. The patio is great and everyone who works there is really nice. Gotta say I really hate they only use valet on Sundays when they have a huge parking lot. And $10?? That's a bit much for a casual patio restaurant. Take some advice from pretty much any other restaurant in Dallas and do complimentary valet.

I was very impressed by the ambiance and dining experience at this new bar! I had passed by many times and decided to come in one day for lunch. I am vegetarian and there were many options for me. I ordered the couscous salad and was shocked by how good it was! Since it is a bar, I had low expectations for the food but this definitely exceeded it! This is a great place to hang out with friends, get a meal, or just grab a drink. I will definitely be coming back for Happy Hour!

Food is decent but the protein portion is tiny. Music is loud if that's your vibe. Service was good and friendly.

Decided to try this place for brunch. Restaurant is huge with a lot of screens so it a perfect spot to watch your favorite team play and have good food and cocktails inside or on the patio. I ordered fully loaded crispy potato, fried chicken ramen and pepperoni supremo. Everything was good except the chicken. It barely had any meat, covering was hard and meat was over fried which made it really chewy but the miso soup, noodles and charred corn combination was really good so giving that dish 2.5/5. Pizza and loaded potatoes were 5/5 and would highly recommend ordering. I did not order any drinks but my friends did and they really liked them all. Service was good as well.

Came for brunch. Wasn't that impressed with the brunch menu even though the regular menu was available as well. I just really wanted breakfast food at that time. I got the brunch hash and was disappointed. The meat was good but the potatoes were very salty. I did enjoy the cocktail. The ambiance gave a sports bar vibe. Nice outdoor patio.

Amazing atmosphere. Cool vibe and Lisa was a great wait person. The food was great and the drinks were also. Recommend it highly. The night manager Josh is a great host.

Pretty nice patio that does have some heaters (although we could not feel the heater at all from where we were sitting). Both the drinks and the food were good. Their drink menu is pretty extensive which is super nice. Valet is $7 which you kinda have to do unless you are lucky enough to find street parking.

Had a great first experience here! Everyone on staff was extremely friendly from the moment we walked in. Overall atmosphere and service were great!! Managers and team were all going out of their way to make sure everyone was having a great experience. Food and drinks were amazing and came out in a timely manner even though they were quite packed. Tips parking is crowded so park Valet or find a spot in the neighborhood but it's probably best to Uber there!

The atmosphere was really nice. I love the vibes and the music. Our waiter was extremely helpful and nice. The food wasn't the best, but I would definitely come here to chill and vibe.

Came here for lunch & thought it would be average, but wow did they rock my world. I ordered the edamame for an appetizer & appreciate the amount of flavor and spice it had. I feel like edamame can be bland, but LPE does it well! I ordered the Hueves Rancheros for my entree & woah! It was absolutely delicious & the perfect size. My friend had the Truffle Burger and couldn't stop raving about how good it was too. The restaurant has giant garage doors to let fresh air flow through & plenty of tvs to watch your favorite sports. I would definitely recommend! They also have a lunch special which is an entree + alcoholic drink for $20 - great deal!

Back to this consistently delicious place for a great happy hour. Beer $4, Smoked trout spread with house made chips $ 11 and a burger to split. Service here is always so attentive. I like the fact I can always have a dog friendly patio on Henderson where service is cordial. This place is an ongoing winner. You will like it!

Came by on a Saturday right before noon without a reservation. Took about 10 min or so to get seated, not bad. Atmosphere and vibe is great. We sat on patio and weather was great. I would say the food is nothing special. I would come back for drinks and because the atmosphere is fun. If I was only looking for something tasty, I think I would go elsewhere. Maybe I'll try a pizza or burger next time. Service was great at first but became super slow at the end. To be fair, the server was pretty busy. Maybe they get more tables than they can handle. Trying to get the check or close out took about 15 minutes. Fish tacos- not bad but not the best I've had. Fish is on the smaller side, it's also not crunchy compared to other places. If I was just seeking out fish tacos then I would go elsewhere. Other than that, if I ended up here then I wouldn't mind ordering it again. Poke bowl- not that great. Probably should order their other menu items instead.

Your new favorite spot! I got a chance to preview Local Public Eatery before it opens on September 26, and trust me when I say, you'll love it! Starting from the moment you walk in, it feels like a brewery with eclectic decor, multiple TVs, and bar in the center. The staff is very welcoming and friendly with everything from greeting to recommendations and everything in between! For drinks, I tried the Spicy Guava Marg, Aperol Crush, and peaches and Beam slush. The spicy Guava marg was well balanced and tasted fresh as opposed to that sweet & sour flavor that most margs have. The aperol crush was good; however, I will say that it is sweeter than a traditional aperol spritz so if you prefer a more earthy/floral flavor it may not be the one for you. Lastly, the peaches and Beam slush was so good that I could've drank it straight from the blender as the peach flavor was tastefully balanced with the richness of the Jim Beam. For food, we tried the spicy garlic edamame, truffle burger with fries, and fish tacos with house salad. The spicy garlic edamame only had a slight bit of heat but was well complimented with the sweet notes in the sauce. The fish tacos had flavorful and well battered fish and crunchy slaw. My only note would be that a vinaigrette or more sauce would've taken it to the next level, but the house side salad was PERFECT! The dressing is similar to a sweet poppyseed vinaigrette and is similar to something you would get at a nice sandwich shop with lots of vegetables! Now for the star of the show: the truffle burger! I was catching up with a friend while there and up until the point of having the burger, you could not get us to stop gabbing back and forth, but that burger had us at a loss for words. It was juicy, flavorful, slightly Smokey, and earthy all between 2 fluffy fresh buns! This is truly a staple restaurant that the Henderson neighborhood needed and I can't wait to watch them grow!

Service was really attentive...I got the feeling that staff hasn't tasted the menu because our waitress had a hard time recommending anything on the menu. My husband and I ordered the potato appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. A definite update to potato skins. My salad was very tasty. Unfortunately my husband ordered the blackened chicken sandwich and wasn't super impressed. Another thing is make sure you have money for the valet.

My family and I ate at local public eatery and the food was delicious. The nach appetize was fabulou. I would definitely get that again. Lisa was the waitress and she did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Local Public Eatery. Josh the manager on duty was personable and he also made the service excellent.

We recently moved to the Henderson area and checking out LPE was at the top of our list, duh! We decided to go for lunch on Saturday afternoon and took our pup with us, so we sat in the patio. The patio was lively, lots of folks watching college football and enjoying their Saturday with friends. We ordered the spicy chicken quesadilla and the mushroom pizza with truffle ranch. The quesadilla was so good, we thoroughly enjoyed the filling. It was tasty and perfectly crispy. The pizza was tasty, we appreciated the pesto and unique nature of the mushroom pizza, but felt it was too floppy/thin for its own good. Love a good thin pizza, but this one was breaking before we could even lift or fold it in half. The truffle ranch was very flavorful and truffle forward, but a bit salty for my liking. The service was great, she was attentive and friendly. Excited to go back to try more of the menu!

Great place! Great food! Great service! We go at least once a week. This weekend we reserved a spot for a large party. Tatum was wonderful and she was flexible with our group. Heidi was great too! She has been our server a few times and always the best! Thank y'all so much! Spicy guava marg is my personal favorite. The tacos or pizza are a great choice for food too!

Great place. Solid pours. Good music. Recommended for bar bites and a game. Locals place, great pizza.

Justin and Richard are the best, their specialty drink was awesome! Definitely recommend!

This place is really cool, large outdoor seating area and a good interior update from the old Henderson tap house! The pizza we got was very good! However, they were out of the wines I kept trying to order. Overall I would come back, would love to try the other items on the menu!

We went on the second day it was open... very well run so far. So many tables for big groups. There was shuffle board inside. Service was great. Staff was very friendly, including the host. Cocktails were very tasty and original. Pizza wasn't the best I've had but it was ok.

Vibes are great, great variety on their menu and always happy with every item I ever order! Josh helped us out as well and he was awesome! Easily one of me and my friends go to spots now and high recommend!

Came here for happy hour with some friends on a Wednesday. Super cute vibe both inside and out! We sat outside. I got the happy hour beef tacos and peach rum slush. No complaints about either, both very delicious and a great deal with the happy hour special! The tacos alone are not a full meal but totally fine as a snack with drinks. Our service was so nice and willing to get a new drink for a friend who didn't like what she ordered. My only warning/complaint is that most of the large parking lot is sectioned off for $7 valet so it can be hard to park for free. There are only about 15 free self parking spots available and most were already full at 3pm on a Wednesday so it's probably even more difficult at peak hours. Would definitely come again for happy hour or to watch a game!

Location Henderson-just off the 75-North east Dallas. Parking Large lot-valet-pay by venmo Atmosphere High energy-many tv's and large tv's-rock n roll videos, sports featured. Large screen with beers on tap. The crowd did not slow down after happy hour-more came-you can reserve ahead on the app-join the club. Seating Bar, large tables, booths, outside/inside seating Service It was openings day so we were greeted with a shot glass of rose! Luis was AMAZING! The place was so busy but the staff really kept up Menu So many choices! Great happy hour menu! There is a timer letting you know how much time is left. Great brunch menu! We had the fish tacos-fantastic! Creamy sauce and fried fish with pico and slaw. We had the cole slaw instead of fries-terrific! Chopped and seasoned perfectly. The pico on top of the tacos was beautiful. My husband said they were the best ever! The happy Dad's seltzer comes in a large can as opposed to the smaller seltzer cans-loved the fruit punch! The peaches and beam slush is AWESOME!!! Summary Fantastic new high energy sports bar with rock n roll music. Great menu and food. Easy parking. We will see you there!

Tried out this new spot & enjoyed the food and drinks. It was busy for a Monday evening. We anticipated the food service may take a long time after reading previous reviews but we received our food and drinks quickly. We ordered a burger with some modifications but it came out without the changes. The wait staff was quick to take it back and comped us for the mistake. Since the restaurant is new, there weren't a lot of pics on yelp so I was nervous to try the chicken sandwich. It seems like every place these days has a fried chicken sandwich but this one was really good (& spicy). It was also nice that this spot has a designated set of non-alcoholic drinks on the menu (although some of the mocktails seemed a bit overpriced). If you're looking for an upbeat spot to watch a game, this is a good pick for you.

I was here in the first three days of opening, and the vibes are great for an addition to Henderson. The wait staff and management is very attentive and nice, but they're still working through some opening kinks. I'll expect them to be great after that. We went during happy hour and the mini-tiny espresso is basically an espresso shot (delish) for $7. There are a few great cocktails for HH - highly recommend the Casanova's Guava spicy margarita. I haven't eaten here yet but the pizzas looked good! I was hoping for more of an Ice House feel but it's a little more upscale than that. Still, lots of screens for football season and dog friendly!

Heidi was our server and was absolutely phenomenal! Great food, great drinks great service! Will be back!

Heidi is the best!!!!!! Great service from her and made friends with us!! Such an awesome place!

Candance gave amazing service. For the restaurant only having two servers on the floor. She still gave us amazing attention and service.

Our favorite new spot in Dallas!! Food and atmosphere are unmatched. Service was great despite them being slammed, we loved our bartender. Cocktails were great with some NA options, as well as espresso martinis on tap (quality still remains even on tap). We had the pork tacos, fish tacos, and the Couscous salad. Everything was incredible, had so much more flavor than your typical Dallas restaurant. Get the fish tacos with the Valentina's hot sauce, that makes it!!

Pretty great new spot where Henderson Tap House used to be. Very open and welcoming interior. The food was fantastic. Great burgers. The OG is the best. The spicy guava marg is great too. The bartender/manager was super friendly and had great suggestions. Great for Work Happy Hour or Work Lunch. Will be back to try more food on the menu. The burger was fantastic tho.

New bar , great vibes..Came in to a busy TX vs OU wkend and the brunch was on point . Steak and eggs , aperol spritz and the Mar-tiny shot is a MUST! Our bartender was Laura and the server Angie 10/10!! Coming back for Sunday football.

Staff is very friendly, and they have good drinks for the price. I never had to look around and wonder where a server or bartender was at

The wings were amazing. Josh did a great job waiting on us and making sure we were taken care of. 10/10 food and service I will be back!

Great service, cool vibe and good food. Fun lunch spot with cool $20 deal including an adult beverage. Service is really good. Menu has something for everyone. Also has a great happy hour.

This place is my go to and recommendation when looking for a brunch or happy hour spot. It's also perfect for watching any sports game too. Not to mention their great patio. It has the perfect amount of exposure of sun especially with this Texas heat. Go for the happy hour but stay for the good times and fun vibes! If you sit at the bar Josiah and Max and top tier!! They make the best cocktails and have amazing recommendations too! Some favorite items are the wings, truffle burger, and tacos. Plus with the guava marg and expresso tiny you can't go wrong.

After work, we stopped by a local pub eatery and loved it! They had excellent happy hour specials on both food and drinks. I kicked things off with a margarita, which was fantastic. For my meal, I had the chicken sandwich and fries--both were delicious. As a ranch lover, I was thrilled to find they had an amazing truffle ranch. It's a great neighborhood spot, and we'll definitely be back!

If they keep up the customer service and quality of food they serve I would consider this place to be one of the best places among all the different restaurants l visited by in the US. It is just great the way the bartender shakes your hand after asking your name and the restaurant manager keeps hovering around tables asking how everything is! WE NEED MORE PLACES LOKE THIS ALL OVER THE US NOT ONLY IN TX....

Got the spicy chicken sandwich and fries. Nothing was fresh, everything was gross and cold. Thanks a lot for giving me old ass food, lazy jerks!

My husband and I brought our 4 month old baby girl up there 2 separate times and had a great experience both times. We just wanted to grab a bite and maybe a drink and they were so tentative to us and our little girl. A man by the name of Brody (had to be a manager) chatted us up most of our stay and made us feel at home! 5 stars for sure!
