Without a doubt, this is the place for steak done right! Live pianist, great music. Food and staff are top notch! Like other reviews, although the food is cooked to perfection, the dish may not match the menu description. I had a wonderful stuffed with shrimp and scallops salmon but there were no shrimp or scallops. Go figure! Regardless we had a fabulous dinner. My wife’s steak and mushrooms were out of this world perfect!

One of the best cooked steaks I’ve had in a very long time. Salmon was pretty good as well, lots of different menu options if not everyone in your party wants steak. We noticed that the staff all seemed to help each other out and we never had to wait long for requests/attention, which was nice as it was very busy and crowded when we went (reservations recommended). We will likely be back due to the great food and service!

Excellent steaks and seafood in an eclectic atmosphere. The southern fried deviled eggs are a unique spin on a southern classic. The red snapper with risotto was perfectly cooked. The dry aged ribeye is expensive but delicious. We enjoyed the warm loaf of bread served before the meal.

All around excellent. Our server wasn’t a speedy one as the others. The steaks were perfectly cooked to temperature. Excellent cut of meat. The complimentary bread loaf was fresh and delicious. Atmosphere is perfect for this location. We will be back when we pass through again.

Do not let looks deceive you! This little gem is magnificent! We were told to visit here and have the most amazing steak we ever had. When we pulled up, we were not too sure as the building looked very rustic and kind of old. The signage out front didn’t seem very updated so we were like thinking this place was a little sketchy, but we were incredibly wrong. It’s absolutely rustic, very cozy,comfortable and inviting and the service was outstanding. We sat down and ordered some very tasty craft cocktails, and an appetizer which was very delicious and then we partook in a wonderful steak dinner. My son had lobster. We celebrated his birthday and had the most fabulous dinner ever. Everything was incredible! Steaks were perfectly cooked, lobster succulent, salad ice cold, green beans seasoned fabulously. The desserts were OMG yummy! Carrot cake was moist and cream cheese was perfectly creamy and not sweet. Creme brûlée was superior! Creamy custard and top perfect. This restaurant is owned by a Veteran and he pays homage to America and her Vets. Thank you sir for your service and incredible establishment. Kid friendly, ample parking, can handle bigger parties.

We stumbled upon The Local on our way home to NC from FL last year, and planned our return trip this year around a second visit! We love this place – great service, great food and drink, and veteran-owned. Haley, our bartender, is awesome. Super personable and helpful. The aged steaks are delicious – I could almost cut with my fork. Green beans are amazing. I highly recommend this place if you’re local or just passing through.

Quiet little spot in Richmond Hills. The food was decent. Nothing special, but solid overall. I am not a steak eater, but someone in my party ordered one, and it was interesting to learn that they only serve steak one way. We also found out that the food is not prepared to order. That becomes an issue because if you order something that is stuffed, certain items cannot be removed since those dishes are prepped that way in the mornings. Aside from that, the staff was friendly and the service was good.

The food and the service here was amazing. We were visiting family that live local and they raved about this place and the quality of the meat. After eating here I 100% agree however the building looks old and run down on the outside. We almost decided to go somewhere else but I am glad we decided to stay. Overall I still give it a 5 ☆ because of the food and the great service and the interior of the location.

After a long day on the road we split the 16 oz ribeye with the sides and a couple salads. The steak was fabulous, seasoned and cooked perfectly. We had plenty to satisfy both our appetites. Local on 17 has become a favorite on our travels!

This is the second time we dinned at The Local. The Good: The appetizers are good and the sides are very good. The Bad: The steaks are not very good. On both occasions they steaks were undercooked. My son ordered as ribeye medium but it was rare at best. I know ribeyes will be fatty but over 30% or more of our steaks were fat. My wife had the filet and again it was undercooked but was good. If I am going to pay these prices the food has to be better than good. I can go to the Ogeechee Meet Market and purchase steaks that are a lot better than what is served at The Local. It’s not worth the money!!!
