Local Table — Restaurant in Houston

Hidden Gem! Our first visit to Local Table. Visited the Garden Oaks location and we were happy we choose to stop in. The restaurant was very clean (which is a must for me; even the bathrooms were clean!). It was also very aesthetically pleasing. Tables we set up far enough apart you didn’t feel as though you were encroaching on or eavesdropping on the next table. The hostess (hate I did not get her name) sat us promptly. Our server (Flynn) made great recommendations. She brought our beverages promptly and had a very friendly but professional disposition. Our food came out quickly and it was temperature perfect (I absolutely hate like warm food). Everything was fresh and seasoned well. My husband had the Southern California Omelet, and I ordered the Lemon Pasta and added Crispy Chicken. Both meals were spot-on. A young man, who introduced himself as Michael the manager (and said he was relatively new to this location), asked how we were doing. I gave him honest feedback and told him we were pleasantly pleased and impressed with every aspect of our dining experience. It was clear Michael was genuinely trying to connect with all guests. He too was polite, professional and very caring. We will definitely be back! If you have not been, be sure to stop by; you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Flynn, Michael and hostess, (who thanked us for stopping in as we left), we loved everything about...

Local Table is an America- style restaurant with several locations across the Houston area. This location, on 34th street, is one I have visited only a few times, but have always come away satisfied.

The atmosphere at this Local Table isn’t anything over the top or exciting, but that makes it just right when you want a casual meal without too many distractions. There are televisions in the bar area, usually tuned to sports. If you would rather not have that distraction, you can choose to be seated further from the bar or on the outside patio.

I like the food served at Local Table. I usually go for a burger or one of the entrees, like Mam’s Meatloaf or Anaheim Grilled Chicken. The burgers come with hand- cut fries, which are much better than the usual fries you get at other restaurants. Most all the other sandwiches, like the Philly cheesesteak, grilled chicken pesto, and others also include a side of these hand cut fries.

Local Table has a wide array of specialty drinks and wine, and they have a respectable beer selection that includes about twelve draft selections and twelve bottled selections. The prices are about in- line with what you would expect for this type of restaurant. Taken as a whole, it’s a good dining experience overall and a place worth visiting when you’re craving...

We live just around the corner from this new place in our neighborhood, so we decided on a whim to give it a try this morning for Sunday brunch. We arrived a little before 11AM, expecting to have to wait for a table. Nope, it is a LOT bigger than it appears from the outside and even has a sizeable outdoor seating area! We opted for outside and it really was quite pleasant. The service was impeccable, I must say! Thank you Sean! I ordered the chicken 'n waffles and she got the breakfast sandwich. There was a little bit of a wait, but nothing unreasonable at all. My chicken and waffles: the waffle was good and served with warm "spicy" maple syrup. I did not detect the spicy. The chicken tenders, also, were good, but not the southern style crispy, crusty fried chicken I'm used to. It had a light breading more like what you find on fish sticks. The fingers were topped with THREE perfectly cooked over easy eggs, YUM! Her breakfast sandwich was PILED high with scrambled eggs on Texas toast, and served with fresh fruit and their Texas Caviar (the star of the dish!). I would have awarded five stars, BUT, the coffee! Oh, my, there's a lot of work to be done there...... But we will probably be back...
