Heard a lot of great things about this place. Daughter and I dropped in on a Sat evening. Wasn't busy. Was asked if we had a reservation before being sat down near the main door. We picked out our drinks, appetizer, and entrées while waiting to be acknowledged. No one ever came to give us water...for 10 minutes. Watched other service given to tables that walked in after us. No one even told us that they were finding our waiter/waitress. It was like we didn't exist. Got tired of waiting, so we informed the hostess of the lack of service and walked out. Will be a while before I consider coming here again despite the rave reviews I've heard of the food. So much for being a "special" and Local place. Service Dine in Service: 1

We are from out of town. Strange that we had to wait 30 minutes when their were tables open the time we were waiting. The food was bad. The rice had good flavor but was not cooked all the way so there were hard pices. The beans were also not cooked all the way they were still hard. Had carne asada tacos were the corn tortillas were cold. Ordered the salsa and chips. Red salsa was tomato catchup with seasoning and the green salsa was green water with I think a pice of garlic.

We ordered 2 local pastas, after an hour we were served it was absolutely gross! Best thing was the queso, chips were stale, guacamole was bland, green salsa was straight lime, and red sauce was spicy but bland! Very sad actually! Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4

I’ve been wanting to try this place out for a while since we moved to Abilene. Our first attempt didn’t quit work out. They asked if we had a reservation and we did not. I did not know we needed one. When we finally went it was for a work event. We were in the “party” room. It was freezing in there. Our sever failed to write all of our order so we did not get all that we wanted. It was difficult to get refills. However, the most disappointing parts of the visit was the food. It looked pretty but was over salted and lacked any other flavor. I’m glad we went. Now we know what it is like and will not be returning. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Atmosphere: 2

The Local is a spacious and attractive place. The patio/courtyard was inviting. We arrived at 11:35 a.m. and were seated promptly without much wait. The employees were courteous and pleasant, but the service was just average. The kitchen was "out of" two menu items which was odd, but okay. We waited 45 minutes for our food. Only two out of six people enjoyed their food: Migas and Wonton Taquitos although the queso was served cold and had more than just a thin "skin" from sitting at room temperature. The steak salad would have been good if the steak hadn't been so overcooked it was completely charred. A few bites were actually inedible. I doubt that any of us will be back.
