The Local Kitchen & Drinks Wellesley

Ok I really had low expectations of this place and I was totally impressed. The menu is kinda standard but the food is amazing ! I got the French roast beef and it was amazing my buddy got the burger and agin great the best two things was the box of donuts ! Amazing and our server Ruby. She was the most pleasant and really made us feel like family.

100 out of 10! If I could give it 10 stars I would. The atmosphere is so chill and down to earth but also still keeping it classy. The service is amazingly quick. Ordered mixed drinks that were on the table within 5 mins. Ordered food on the table in 20 with appetizer that came out in between drinks and entreé as of should! Waitress was so very friendly and I love the fact that she asked if our drinks were mixed well very mindful. The price point is spot on l, the food is exceptional. Highly recommend taking a trip here. We will 150% be returning! Thank you for going above and beyond in all you do it's very rare to receive this kind of service!

The Local Kitchen & Drinks in Wellesley completely exceeded my expectations. From the warm, inviting ambiance to the attentive service, everything about this place felt thoughtfully curated. It’s casual yet classy—perfect for a night out with friends or a cozy dinner date. I ordered the short rib grilled cheese and it was out of this world—tender, flavorful, and perfectly crisped. The truffle fries were addictive, and their craft cocktail menu had some seriously creative options. You can tell the kitchen puts care into every dish, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The vibe is lively without being loud, and the service was spot-on: friendly, fast, and knowledgeable. This place has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. If you're in the Wellesley area, don’t miss it!

Everything here is great including the dim ambience. Food was absolutely delicious😍😍😍

We went during lunch time and the restaurant was busy but not so busy we were ignored. The menu offered a great selection of items. There was a number of items that I will have to go back and try. Staff was friendly and our food came out quickly and hot. An excellent experience.

Staff is lovely - Ana 😍, Josh, Lisa (the best around), Courtney, Sam, etc. are not only wonderful servers, bartenders, hosts, and runners (they do it all) but wonderful people as well. We are all lucky to go out to eat here and see their faces. I urge everyone who goes out to eat to remember that the people waiting on them are real people with real feelings! Be kind and tip well. Don’t yell at your servers, yell at yourself for caring too much. Have some joy and whimsy in your lives, people!

I went to visit this place on Wednesday July 2nd to purchase lunch for my team. I entered the establishment and stood at the podium waiting for someone to assist. A minute or two later, two older Caucasian walked in and stood behind me. another 2 minutes later, a tall pale gentlemen comes to the podium, grabbed two menus, completely ignoring my presence, not even a hello and addressed the two ladies asking if they were looking to be seated. Then left to seat them to a table. This left me standing there with my jaw to the floor. Another 3 minutes passed before he and a host returned to the podium asking me if I needed help. Absolutely flabbergasted, I asked him was his actions by design he said he didn't see me there and left me to deal with the host. The host who then said "oh, he normally doesn't seat people as he is a waiter" excusing his blatant racist actions. This was disgusting behavior and my establishment will no longer be giving these people our business. I will be sure to have a proper review via all social platforms so people know where they dont need to spend their money. They gave a $25 gift card for my "inconvenience" and denied my business partner from speaking to the GM when he called in to help me with the situation as I was frazzled.

Fantastic American restaurant with a modern atmosphere that I truly love. The interior is beautiful, and there is plenty of parking, making it a convenient choice. The server was incredibly helpful, enhancing the overall dining experience. My favorite dishes here are the chicken kebabs and their signature burger, both are delicious and highly recommended.
