LOCAL Public Eatery Terry Ave

I can't say enough about the awesome food and service at this Local. As a regular business and pleasure traveler, I have been to literally *hundreds* of similar spots around Canada, US, Europe, and Asia. Every visit here makes me feel like I'm part of the family. Friendly, genuine service, attentive care, knowledgeable menu advice, etc. Our party of 3 arrived late after a recent Seahawks game and we had an exceptional experience! Kim greeted our party and made sure we were well taken care of. She explained the menu and features and was very thorough. We loved the appie options, which literally became our dinner. I especially loved the loaded nachos, and dumplings. Wow! Fresh and a bit spicy! The burgers were outstanding! :) Thank you Local! See you soon!

Gaby was amazing! She was super friendly! I asked for a suggestion for a local beer and she provided one that was soooo smooth. It was Manny's pale ale..when we asked for suggestions for things to do around here, she gave us several ideas. Thank you Gaby for being a great server!

Had a good dinner at the Local Public Eatery! Chris P. & Tina were so accommodating to us and our pup - they set up the heater and brought us blankets to be seated out in the patio. The truffle cheeseburger, truffle chicken pot pie, Warm Me Up (hot spiked espresso drink), and apple cobbler were amazing! Definitely will come back next time.

My wife and I stopped in after work on a Friday for a bite and some drinks. This place seemed fun with a lively atmosphere. The host was welcoming. Pretty disappointing food for such a cool spot. My wife and I split the LOCAL burger which was under seasoned and bland. Plus the meat patties are tiny compared to the bun. The Fully Loaded Crispy Potato’s were soggy like they were sitting out for hours. The wings for $20 were underwhelming. Service was great even though it was packed.

Cool overall vibes! It’s a fun, lively spot with games and a nice atmosphere. The food was good – but nothing special about it. Burger was ok, wings were better. Very nice draft menus though, and possible to taste. Enjoyed that.

Loved the place and the overall vibe! It’s a fun, lively spot with games and a great atmosphere. The food was amazing – I especially enjoyed the fish tacos, tempura shrimp, shrimp dumplings, and sweet potato fries. All super flavorful and well done. The Spicy Guava mocktail was also really refreshing and tasty. Just a heads-up: it’s probably not the best spot if you’re looking for a quiet, personal gathering – it’s more of a social, energetic environment. But if you’re in the mood for good food and a good time, definitely check it out!

Visited this place with a big group on a weekday night. Place was busy and looked fun. Food and drinks are tasty. Vegetarian options available, they also made some changes on request to make few other dishes vegetarian.

Overall, a very positive experience with friendly service and very good food. Worth noting that waiting times were a bit long, definitely longer than I would have expected. This happened on both occasions I was there.

Drinks were great and the bar area was so fun. Shawn was excellent - he was so nice and had such good customer service. Will definitely be back!

I love Local! I think the food is really good but I feel like the service can be hit or miss here. I love their extensive menu and diversity in the menu and drinks. A great place to watch games! I also love that during brunch they serve both lunch and brunch menus

A cozy neighbourhood bar that hits the spot when you're craving comfort food. Their burgers are solid -- and the best part is you can swap any of them for an Impossible patty, which is such a win. The yam fries and finger foods are perfect for sharing over drinks. We also tried the Hawker Street curry with roti; not the best I've had, but still pretty decent if you're in the mood for something different. Shoutout to our server who was incredibly sweet and went above and beyond -- honestly a 10/10 service experience. This place definitely has that laid-back, friendly vibe that makes you want to come back.

Food - I got the dutch baby which was good. But I had some of my husband's hash and the potatoes were amazing. They were little squares of thinly sliced and layered potatoes that were crispy and salted perfectly. I will try the recreate these potatoes at home but I'll prob fail. Service - we had a large party and they handled our orders great. Everything came out quickly and they checked in on us. Ambiance - tons of seating. They have an upstairs area as well as a separate bar area. Tvs everywhere. And they play music videos which I miss.

This place was busy when we got there at 530p. Our group was able to get a booth in the bar area so it was a little bit loud but we had a great waitress. When the water arrived our glasses were dirty and there was a lot of floaties. We asked for a new glasses and the glasses that were provided were also dirty. I ordered the fish tacos that came with two deep fried fish tacos on fresh cabbage and a delicious pico de gallo. Also it had a side of french fries that were a little underdone and they charged a dollar for a side of tartar sauce. The fish tacos were delicious. They were fresh, flaky, and the Pico was the magic ingredient. Highly recommend. The french fries however were underdone so they were dense and firm but had great seasoning. With tip, the plate was $27.50

Solid 3.5 for food and 5 for service. Conveniently located LPE is a great spot to catch a quick lunch while at work. I personally didn't like how tangy my couscous salad was, but I appreciated the freshness of ingredients. Next time around I'll probably go for the ramen my colleague ordered that looked delicious! The ambiance is pretty bare bones but good if one would like to schedule a work lunch. I'll likely have to be back coz I often stop by the building next door for work.

We really enjoyed this local find. Really nice hangout place. Tons of seating options - indoor and outdoor. A lot of drink options. I got the steak and fries and my husband got the Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was spicy, which was interesting, but still good. The sauce on top of my steak was SO GOOD. I loved it. They make you pay for ranch, which I don't like. They almost lost a star for it, but the food and service were good, so I kept them at 5 stars.

Walked here as SlU Block Party didn't have many food options. Friendly server. Ordered the Peanut Satay Noodle Salad $23 and Blackened chicken curry bowl $24. A bit overpriced for the portion that you get but the food was tasty. A bit loud that we had to kinda raise our voices but otherwise all good. Solid 3.5

This is a good spot in south lake Union to get a drink or food. I'd describe it as a "fun" atmosphere and a decent gathering spot. Typical menu which provides many options as well as some signature drinks. I've been to this location 3x and feel a mixed bag on the waitstaff. Usually good, upbeat service though.

I came here 3 years ago and since then I have told myself whenever I go back to Seattle I am going back to Local and getting my steak and fries! Here I am the next day writing this review because I have finally returned and was SATISFIED. This time around I tried to expresso martini and loved it. My boyfriend enjoyed his pulled pork pasta and old fashion. We left fully humbled. Next was the ongoing loop of early 2000 music videos playing on the screens. Please keep that up. It really was a nostalgic moment for us to watching alot of music videos and enjoying our delicious meal. Our service was great as well. The hostess were helpful and made us felt welcomed. Till next time.

Cute and fun spot to eat at! Right around the corner from my hotel and was referred by the hotel staff. I sat at the bar and ordered their Caesar salad with grilled chicken and fries (balance right?! ) the service was great and the food was delicious. The Caesar had a spicy dressing that was signature and memorable. Can't wait to make this my local spot when I'm back in Seattle again!

Recently visited Local after attending a concert because it was one of the restaurants that was still opened late. This place is quite a vibe! It's dark inside and is like a sports bar but they also have outdoor seating with fairy lights. Tbh some food items are kinda pricy but delicious. We got the Hawker's street curry which came with roti bread and curry sauce. The roti bread was warm and soft. The curry sauce tasted like a thicker version of Tom Kha which is sweet and sour soup with coconut cream. I also ordered the Local burger with yam fries. Burger was pretty good and filling (it came with two patties). Highly recommend the yam fries! They're perfectly crisp and came with an yummy sauce. I was excited to visit again after another concert a week later because I wanted to try their ramen with fried chicken but they had a sign saying they were closed early :/

Had a chance to try this cute spot while I was in town with coworkers and it did not miss! This place has good service and the ambiance is great for a nice get together. For the food I tried: * Buffalo chicken wings - a little on the smaller side but the sauce was yummy and went well with the side of ranch *Crispy potatoes - i really loved this dish as the potatoes were perfectly crispy and had a good variety of toppings * dumplings - the filling was juicy and i liked the saucy thing the dumplings were on top of - they definitely added alot of flavor * blackened chicken bowl - this was really yummy as it came with flavorful delicious chicken with a yummy curry sauce that I really enjoyed. Well flavored and would order this again! Overall, I had a really good experience here!

Everything we ate at tye Local Public Eatery was on point. We opened with Perogis and Dumplings and both were delicious. I had the Pokémon bowl and all of the food was delicious. The staff was super attentive and made sure we always got new drinks if we needed. It was a pretty packed house when we went, playoff baseball and Monday night football with the Seahawks and Mariners playing, but it never got too loud.

Came here for a later dinner and we appreciate that they are open a little later than some of the other local spots. Definitely a spot with a solid beer and drink menu but we weren't having drinks for the night so we'll have to try again another time. Service was welcoming and we were seated immediately. Nice vibes and good music. Food + Brooklyn burger - burger was really tasty! Fries were decent but a little on the dry side. + Poke bowl - my husband got this but said he was a bit disappointed because he felt that for the price there should have been more tuna poke instead of tofu and all of the other stuff it came with. Overall, I really enjoyed their burger and vibes.

Servers were nice but food came out very slow. The overall quality of food was pretty good. We like the chicken skewers and spicy edamame from their starters and guava drink and mango boba from their non-alcohol menu! Highly recommend this place if you're going with a big group for drinks or finger food, but it's pretty loud to chat so be aware.

Cool place to grab lunch in a trendy area off of Mercer St. in the South Lake Union area. Lots of tech workers were here as many of them had their work badges/lanyards on. Parking garage is attached in the same building. Came here to meet a friend and there was plenty of tables. We opted to eat in the restaurant side, instead of the bar area. Super friendly staff and the food was good.

Came here for a birthday celebration and it was a great environment. I could see how it gets crowded and busy on game days. We got drinks and an appetizer and overall not bad. A bit on the expensive side, 2 coronas, 1 happy dad, and shrimp dumplings with tip came out to $55, but it was expected.

Went for brunch after running a 10K around SLU. Many of the restaurants close by were packed or short staffed, but this place was not which worked out for my group since we were starving!! We were seated right away and didn't have to wait. There are plenty of options on the menu, such as ramen, Korean food, poke bowl, and burgers. I'm iffy of restaurants that have different cuisines, so I opted for what seemed like a safe choice - chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken was pretty tasty. Enough to satusfy the cravings! The fries was just alright. Server was kind and friendly. We were able to split the bill with no issues. There's multiple TVs inside; one was playing a music video and another sports. The music volume was just right when we went. It allows for conversations unlike other places but not sure if it was because of the time we went.

Kim and Chris K were wonderful servers. Very kind and energetic, great service and fantastic food brought out quickly. Thanks you two!

Boring food. Boring/bad service. Not worth the price. Don't recommend. Won't be back.

The food was very good and the servers and managers where very attentive and friendly

Local is one of my work team's favorite places to go for a quick and casual lunch. With a large variety of food and drinks, there's something for everyone on the menu. My co-workers and I came at 11:30am on a weekday and were lucky to get a table before the big lunch rush at noon. This past visit, I ordered the FISH TACOS (+$19.50) and subbed YAM FRIES (+2) for regular fries. The FISH TACOS came as a set of two tacos and were large and meaty. I was honestly full after eating one taco (plus the fries) and brought the other one home for a midday snack later on. The cod was perfectly battered and came with lettuce, pico di gallo slaw, and a lemon wedge on top with a mayonnaise sauce on the side for dipping. For almost $10 a taco, it's pricey for what you get, even though they are decent-sized. The YAM FRIES were amazing and surprisingly just lightly salted which was perfect for me! They were crispy and just slightly sweet as well. Well worth the substitution in my opinion. Service was excellent and our server was very attentive. She even gave our table free samples of their new non-alcoholic riesling which was a nice touch. In terms of atmosphere, it can get kind of loud at times, but you can still usually hold a conversation at your table. They also have shuffleboard and pool tables available for entertainment. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

Local is always the go to spot! Happy hour, lunch or dinner. The menu is amazing. Customer service is top notch too. Chris, Kimani & Kris are the best!

I went with a group of six at 530 pm and they were so welcoming and sat us almost immediately! Our server as phenomenal!! He gave us great recommendations and was very attentive. The food was all delicious!! It is a fun take on bar food and next time I want to try the ramen! I had the Diablo burger and it was super tasty!! 10/10 recommend! I also ordered a salad instead of fries and it was so fresh and an amazing dressing!! The margarita was also great! Such a unique flavor and actually had a little kick to it! Cannot wait to go back.

A delicious spot for dinner and a drink! I had their fried chicken sandwich and it was juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The service was patient (we were chatty and didn't look at the menu), and kind. The bar had a fun and lovely atmosphere too! I would definitely return if in the area!

Was here for the UFC fights on Saturday night. Service was very attentive, and we constantly had drinks coming without running out. Food is decent, and I liked the atmosphere better than most dive bars that show the fights. Price is definitely higher than other UFC bars, but it makes sense given the location. They did not show the fights on most TVs with sound on until half way through the card, which made it feel it it was not the event of the night, but more like something to watch on the side. Would visit again for future UFC PPV nights. Chill spot with some good options to hop to afterwards.

Finally came in here for brunch for the avocado benedict - so glad I did! The egg was perfectly poached atop a delicious mix of a sort of pico de gallo and fresh avocado. The English muffin was toasted and buttered just right, and the entree was wholly satisfying. I subbed out the potatoes for the Caesar salad side, and it, too, was just right. The service was very good and parking out front was easy to find. Free street parking on Sundays and holidays make this an ideal place for brunch on those days! I look forward to coming back here for lunch, dinner, or happy hour!

Updating review and not a fan of this place anymore. Went here with some friends and they didn't give us water for a really long time. Then one of us got up to get our own water and we heard the servers talking about us. One of them said "look she's getting her own water" and our server said "oh good for her" but didn't come to help?! She kept ignored us even though we made eye contact with her and other waiters who got her attention. Felt like she was doing it on purpose. We said no bacon in one of our dishes but it still came with bacon. Which is fine it happens and she ended up removing it off our final check but since she never checked on us again we couldn't get it replaced. She was clearly ignoring us and talking to her coworker about us instead. Very weird.

Great and super wide selection of food and drinks!! We loved the cheesy bacon perogies, spicy margaritas, and fish tacos. The ambience was fun and bustling on a Thursday evening and they were playing both the NFL and Mariners games on their TVs. Personable server as well.

The restaurant is understaffed. Whether that is a company decision to save money or an inability to hire, I cannot say. We waited 15 minutes for to be greeted, we would have left, but not many choices on a Sunday within walking distance of our hotel. Once greeted, as for a cocktail and water. Never received the water. The appetizer came no silverware. After an hour we finally were able to order another round of drinks and our food. The food beat out drinks and silverware. When the food arrived, it was wrong. The burger was missing the burger patty. This is absolutely not the waitress's fault. She had over a dozen tables. This is a staffing issue. Either limit seating or hire more people. What food we had was good. This comes from a couple with over 40 yrs combined experience in the food industry. We have been business owners for over 10 years. Companies, corporations need to be held accountable. This world is more than the bottom line.

Went here for Date night and loved it! The bar food is amazing. Wings, salads, and burgers are the best! They even have a great reverse happy hour starting at 9p during the week. Highly recommend.

Had a few brunch cocktails and the perogies. As always, the espresso martinis were delicious and the perogies never disappoint. Our server, Erin was amazing. She was attentive and funny. 10 out of 10...Will be back!

Service and food were great! Kris and Chris were amazing! I will definitely be coming back.

I don't know how you can screw up a burger but they did. It tasted super gamey and had a weird smell I've never associated with burgers. The onion rings were good though. I couldn't get past one single bite. It was enough to make me gag. Sorry but it just wasn't good. I had to throw it out. Also, Burger King has better fries than this place. $60 for a burger/onions rings/fries. Not worth it at all especially if you don't even end up eating it because it's gross.

I drizzled some olive oil all over this beet dip and it was delicious. I also tried their chicken tenders and it was crispy and well seasoned.

Super nice place to grab a beer! Probably the friendliest staff I've ever met and the manager the day I was there went over and above to support her team & their tables. Highly recommend checking out!

Would not recommend unless you are going for the open space. Services are just horrendous, i always tip eating out and for this place i feel like being rob to tip. Take forever to get seated (more than 10 mins), and then forever to have the server comes to take the order (another 15 minutes), then we wait for another half hour for the food, and at the end, even for the check, we had to wait another 25 minutes for it. Water was not refilled even once unless we ask at the end prior to paying. The restaurant was not even half filled. Maybe all the servers there really have a rough day? No, i came back the second time and services are the same. It's a shame because the location is convenient for me. Food is really mid, i would say Seattle has many great restaurants and this is not one of them. The burger is dry, the edamame was overcooked and bitter (burnt) and my friend's dish was underseasoned and just not impressive for the price.

The vibe and location are great, and the staff is friendly. However, the drinks were pretty average. They mentioned a few mango and tiramisu-flavored drinks coming up for June, which I might go back to try.

Came here for Brunch while out and about in SLU. The simple name that follows through with its namesake is what you get. The ambience and setting suits the area. Definitely a hangout for the younger crowd. Lots of large tables, so it's good for groups, counter seating and VIP style booths for 2-4 people. Seated right away on a Sunday afternoon. Had a couple of waitstaff rotating off helping us, both were very friendly and helpful. I started with cold Boundary Bay brew as it was among the happy hour drinks. For meal, I got the Braised beef and bacon hash. Fried egg, braised beef, caramelized onions, bacon and pickled peppers on crispy potatoes. Nice presentation and tasted pretty good overall, but as I was afraid of, the potato to meat ratio was a bit lopsided. some bits of bacon here and there, some cuts of beef and a lot of potato. Not bad, but steep for the about $21 price. So, I think the strong suit here is happy hour with some starters, maybe some of the other mains are better, but I think on a return visit I'd keep it simpler.

My son and I stopped in before a concert at the Paramount around 5pm on a a Wednesday. It's definitely a tech bro unwind spot but that's ok. We got the tempura shrimp which was tasty and two local burgers. Also tasty. The down side was the service was crappy. She asked if we wanted the appetizer to come with the mains (clearly what she wanted to happen) and we asked them to come as an appetizer. They came exactly 60 seconds before the burgers. Then she asked, after I had the nerve to order a second drink, if she could cash us out. I figured she was at the end of her shift so I agreed of course. Nope. She kept serving for the 20 minutes after while I finished my beer. Just wanted us gone. Heard her do it to the table next to us before she did it to us too. Too many other options too close by to get treated like that.

Mediocre establishment with borderline service! They can't be bothered to mention that their Diablo burger comes slathered in disgusting mayonnaise! Didn't offer to fix or comp either.

Busy gastropub in the heart of SLU. Clean, good service, friendly staff. Food is pretty good and comes out pretty quickly. Loved their crispy chicken sandwich. I do wish they would bring back the poutine!

Great atmosphere and great food. I had the garlic edamame to start and it had a really strong but not overpowering flavor. Delicious. For the entree I had the breakfast burger, with two over easy eggs, American cheese and bacon. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the sandwich tasted great. The onion rings were hot, crispy and tasty. Our server was prompt and friendly. Great meal!

Casual but trendy restaurant/bar located in downtown SLU. The food is high quality and well done, though a tad on the pricier side but I'd say the value matches up. Tried: Roti ($17.25) - Nice buttery layered flatbread with a creamy coconut curry dipping sauce. Calabrian Caesar Salad ($17) - This was wonderful and I don't even order salads! BBQ Pork Bowl ($22.50) - really tasty! The Bulgogi is super sweet though. Big airy space with plenty of TVs around to watch the game.

Hip local pub with great food and a wide variety of items on the menu. They have everything from burgers to Asian bowls to curry. Hand-made roti & curry was excellent. Fresh light airy moist roti bread. Curry with sophisticated flavor, and not spicy. Spicy garlic edamame had a wonderful glaze on it, almost like teriyaki. BBQ rice bowl with Korean beef bulgogi was awesome and tender. It came with a fried egg that I mixed into the rice. Fish and chips was great too. They have a large variety of beer, wine, and cocktails. I liked the Holy Mountain witbier.

I think it would be a great date or celebration spot, but was kind of pricy for the normal meal we were intending. I got the fried chicken ramen which was a was a flavorful spin on the norm and I enjoyed. Also got a boba cocktail was good, though light on the alcohol. Having the popping boba at the top looked nice, but made it difficult to actually get any since by the time they got to the bottom, there wasn't any liquid left to help slurp them up - wish they'd put them at the bottom and had less ice. The wings were lackluster, was expecting them to be a bit more jazzed up beyond standard bar grub. Friend got the deluxe burger (I think) and added an egg, so it's nice to see they do additions. They have an upstairs that looks like it would be a convenient spot for a larger bday dinner or the likes. Overall a trendy spot, but not ideal for a causal dinner.

Nicole and staff were super attentive and provided top notch service. Food and vibes were great when we went during happy hour. thank you Local for a great time!

Local public eatery is an okay spot to eat, a good option for workday lunches with a group of people. Came here for a team lunch, and wasn't super busy. The vibe is pretty upbeat and casual. With all the offices around, they have lots of seating and can accommodate larger groups which is always good. Food-wise, we ordered the roti, fried chicken, and potato bites as appetizers and I ordered the fish and chips. The appetizers were overall pretty good with the exception being that the fried chicken was a bit salty. The fish and chips was not so good though. The fries were good, the slaw was fine, but the fish was not great. Usually you'd want a nice crunchy exterior, and a flaky fish center. But it was more crunch outside, then mushy semi cooked batter and mushy fish inside. Overall, not bad, the place is a bit expensive for what they have, food is okay, service is good. It is definitely good for team outings.
