A return trip to Local re-confirmed this restaurant as one of the truly unique finds in Dallas. Second only to the vaunted Abacus, this is a great place. And guess what Chef Tracy, it could be better with more seasonal changes to your menu. What a blast to dine at. more

Local is delicious, but Tracy Miller takes herself a little too seriously, and the service is rarely any good. The food is unique and tasty in similar ways to Stephan Pyles' work, and the place is nothing but cool as all hell inside. Cut down on some pretension and train better servers and this little place off the beaten path... more

Local is so obscure. If you blink you'll pass it! It's small, intimate and fabulous. The servers are so efficient and friendly. I was set to order when the server mentioned the specials and that changed everything! Homemade tortilla soup with mini black bean and goat cheese quesadillas was delicious. My husband had the roasted tomato soup with mini grilled... more

Delightful appetizers (fried green beans!), delicious entrees (crispy sea bass!), and delectable desserts (coffee and donuts! it's not really what you think it is)- everything was superb. Attentive service and intimate dining rooms make Local a must on your next night out in Dallas. Parking was plentiful. Beer and wine only though- no mixed drinks. They do offer a sake... more

Don't be deterred by the vacant buildings and signs of transition surrounding this restaurant. Staff welcomed us, made us feel at home, and treated us to a delightful evening. Rooms are small and intimate, with several tables in each; diners can enjoy their meals without feeling crowded. The signage on the original walls (formerly a small hotel) is left intact... more

If you don’t have a reason to be in Dallas find one, if only to make it to this wonderful restaurant. Housed in a former hotel, apparently Bonnie and Clyde stayed here (and if it was restaurant at the time they wouldn’t have left and got into all that trouble) LOCAL is second to none on décor and food. Alice... more
