I came to try the lunch, but surprisingly they had brunch at 1:30pm. So I got the steak and cheese omelette which tasted pretty good. One thing I could taste and be sure about is that the ingredients were fresh. Loved the smashed baked potatoes....Read More

Nut allergy warning: Most dishes at Local Foods have nuts. There are really limited options for people with a nut allergy and most are relatively pricey or not as healthy. I wouldn't recommend eating here with a nut allergy to be honest. Food came out really...Read More

We had a very pleasant lunch here. The service is good and the restaurant is clean. The Asian chicken salad was big enough to split. Plenty of options for a cold drink.

I ordered the power bowl with salmon add on and didn’t like it. It’s a new recipe as I was told. Service was fast and good. Ventilation is terrible. Your hair and coat will smell so just be prepared if you mind.

Local Foods never misses—but the gluten-free bánh mì deserves a spotlight of its own. As someone with celiac and multiple food sensitivities, it’s rare to find something that feels indulgent, satisfying, and safe—and this sandwich checks every box. The textures are perfect, the flavors are bright...Read More
