The Local

✨ The portion size was a bit small and the fries were overly salty, with the salt clearly visible on them. However, when we mentioned it, the waitress kindly replaced them with a smile. That smile meant more to us than anything else—especially compared to one of her colleagues who was very serious and gave more of an office-like vibe. The warmth and friendliness of the waitress who took our order made the whole experience memorable. In the end, her smile turned into a sweet souvenir from our trip to Victoria.

A hang out with a friend. Greeted and seated quickly. Staff was friendly. Delicious food. I had the smoked Turkey club wrap with salad and he had the potato skins. It’s was delicious. We were seated outside and enjoyed some people watching while we waited for our food. It was a decent experience, unless you don’t like passersby watching you eat.

I recently visited this place with a friend, and even though we only ordered dessert, the service was absolutely wonderful. Our server, , was so kind and made us feel completely welcome. Sometimes you worry about ordering just a little, but she never made us feel that way—just the opposite. Her warmth and hospitality really stood out.

We went to this place to try their poutine. We originally tasted poutine in Montreal & have never found one as good… well this is the place to eat it, the fries we cooked crispy (till they soak in the gravy), the cheese was great & instead of everything being on top of the fries, it was layered in. It was delicious. We also ordered a turkey wrap to split - it was also very good. Plenty of food for us (we didn’t even eat the fries that came with the sandwich). We also each had a beer. The waitress was awesome & we didn’t feel forgotten. I highly recommend this place.

Love this place for watching a game. If it’s a game night I would not come here to have a good conversation because it is very loud. It’s a great bar with tons of tvs, perfect for watching some hockey. Drinks are good here and the food is mediocre nothing special. I would recommend just getting nachos or fries.

We were lucky to be seated in a section where Meya was the server. Seated immediately. The obvious draw to this establishment is the flower abundant outdoor seating area. But, for those of you “sports enthusiasts”, the have every sport imaginable on TVs inside the bar!! I got to see my Tampa Bay Rays play baseball live 3,000 miles away! Thank you! I ordered the Notorious P I G, my wife the massive Quesadilla! No disappointment here! Maya made it special with her Australian accent, and the drink glasses were never empty. Great place, when in Victoria, give it a chance. Prices are fair for what you get!

My family and I had such a great experience at The Local. We originally were planning to go to a place across the street, but when we saw the beautiful patio we had to try this place. We were lucky enough to happen to meet the owner who was working at the time and he was so incredibly hospitable and friendly. All of the staff we interacted with were great. The patio was so nice, the drinks were delicious, the food was great with good portions. We’d definitely come back here on another trip to Victoria!

Sat outside on a nicer day, patio is heated which is nice. Ordered the lemonade pitcher. Greek god wrap and the jennifer Aniston salad. Salad was a hit. Wrap was pretty good, yam fries exceptional !
