Customers often praise the establishment for its fast service, great beer selection, and delicious food. However, some patrons have mentioned that the waitstaff may need improvement, and the quality of the food can vary.

For instance: "We went on a Friday night and got seated within 5 minutes. It then took more than 10 minutes for our waitress to come and see us. The food was not fast coming out and once it got to us it was not particularly good. I’ve tried the cheeseburger and the fried chicken special here on different nights and both were not bad, but not good. It is certainly the 3rd best cheeseburger in town. Our waitress was very friendly."

Very nice decor in the restaurant area. Had some appetizers mushrooms and cheese curds which were really good. I had the breaded pork tenderloin which was NOT good at all. Don't overcook the food and serve it that way.

Pepperjack curds & onion rings were amazing! Our server completely blanked on putting in our order (including 3 kid's meals). Then didn't bring our salads and literally said "Oops I forgot". The entire restaurant was full when we arrived and they were escorting us out by the time we barely ate our food. We ordered the "all you can eat" catfish and asked for a refill. They told us they were already cleaning the kitchen and wouldn't make any more food. No Manager was present and the only discount given was employee discount ($4) on a $75 bill. We were there 1.5 hours before food arrived. Will try again, but will avoid that waitress.

Normally I’d give 5 stars all around because everything is always beyond amazing! But unfortunately tonight, I had ordered the patio melt (cooked medium) and it came out to me basically charred to a crisp. The waitress (who we always have & is always just so wonderful) had taken my food back to let them know & they didn’t seem to care that I couldn’t eat what they failed to cook. But to brag on our waitress, she handled it so great! We love coming to Locals for the food & for the amazing wait staff! But to the cooks of this evening, please be mindful of how your customers want their food cooked. Because it wasn’t just my food that was poorly cooked, it was also my boyfriend’s food that was poorly cooked. I understand that y’all get busy, & I understand that wanting to rush through cooking someone’s food to get all of your orders out happens. But just take your time because at the end of the day, customer satisfaction is what keeps y’all in business.
