THE LOCAL - Kitchen & Sports Lounge — Restaurant in Walker

Edit: Still average. Still not overly impressive in any aspect. Limited signs of staff disinfecting surfaces before other people sit, which was mildly disconcerting. Couple tables nothing, just bussed before someone else sat down despite other tables they could have. Losing a star because of that. Do better. I'm all for being average, and honestly... real talk... if you are going to tout such an amazing array as 18 beers on tap, please understand that that is kind of average, really. And yes, there are a lot of average beers. What beer can I get there that is hard to find or not available somewhere else? I can go any number of places in the surrounding area that have the same thing. Which means my original assessment was right. I'm all for you being happy with it, but understand the definition of average. It's not an insult. It's OK. Keep being average, that's cool. I dig it. But do better for the health and safety of your customers. Cheers

Original: Average atmosphere. Average food. Lots of average beers. Doesn't really matter what they re-brand this place as the next time they do it (and history tells me they might....) - it'll still just be average at best. I'll keep going though, because I'm just an...

Chorizo was burnt black, it was served with about 20 pitiful and greasy chips, was provided horrible service and I will pass on this place moving forward. As a server/ bartender there was zero reason to be treated the way we were as customers. Service was HORRIBLE. Too bad, I really enjoyed this place before.

And why is there pickled veggies and coleslaw...

Honestly, not a place I would recommend to anyone. So first the service was bad, we ordered food that should not have taken an hour to make and my drink ran empty for over half the meal before I got a refill. Meanwhile all of the servers are chitchating at the bar. Now the food, we ordered a medium-rare burger that came out burnt and a Philly cheese steak that looked like something that we could have bought at a gas station. Overall the food was lackluster and not worth the pricing. The atmosphere was extremely unwelcoming and unfriendly. The other customers stared everyone in our party down like we were intruding. Safe to say, we will not...
