The Local Grind — Restaurant in Martinsville

I decided to take a chance and try something new.

Here is my review from ordering through Grub Hub.

I ordered a "Double" Norm which seems to be 2 biscuits that are separated with gravy for $10.35

and then I ordered a Strawberry and Banana smoothie - 32 oz for 11.98.

A "Double" Norm is 2 biscuits separated, which wasn't worth it, you can go to Indy's and it's cheaper and you get more. This makes me miss Forky's.

The smoothies were two 16 oz. smoothies that were watery and tasted like the burning rubber smell. It was overwhelming so I kept trying to figure out what the taste was and that's what I ended up equating it to.

To top it off, when we entered we were not greeted by the staff even though we went right up to the counter. The girl was wearing sweatpants and slippers with her hair in a loose ponytail. Thankfully she wasn't cooking the food but I didn't find her demeanor to be that of someone in...

Maybe we're just spoiled from being regular customers of Needmore Coffee in Bloomington, but we were very disappointed with the Sticky Toffee Nut Mochas from The Local Grind. They tasted like overly sweetened coffee creamer with a TINY splash of coffee. Very sweet and zero stout! We had to order additional coffee and do our own mixing of 3/4 coffee to 1/4 mocha in order to even drink them. We were a little surprised we were charged for the coffee we literally NEEDED. So, 1 regular sized mocha, 1 large mocha, and 1 shake ended up costing approximately $21. The reason we gave any stars at all was because our son liked his Darth Vader shake. Also, the server was friendly and the shop itself was comfortable, nicely decorated, and appeared...
