"The Local Eatery and Pub offers a comfortable ambience and an excellent culinary experience. Good quality wines, innovative cocktails and a rotating list of more than a dozen craft beers will most satisfy. But food has consistently exceeded our expectations and we have never experienced bad service. On Sunday, 11/26/17, I started with a cup of beef vegetable soup. The meat and vegetables were pretty good, but the broth was incredible! More like a very thin Beef Gravy, to say it was rich and satisfying is a rough abortion. This delicious dish was the perfect thing for these cooler autumn days. While my interest in some of the special entrées was drawn, I decided rather slightly easier than a balance to the very satisfying soup. I ordered half a size Cobb Salad. When it was brought to me, I was impressed by her idea of how half a part should look. And the menu description does not meet the quality of the ingredients. It was full of fried chicken bites, and everything else was very good. Our waiter was Zach, who remembered our previous visits, what our beverage preferences were, and we also asked him for food recommendations. My wife and I were both very happy with our food and service. And by the way, we were there between 11:30 and 12:30. I suspect that some of the reviews that have described a bad service have taken place at a busy time of the day. The restaurant is still our destination for excellent food and service in a relaxing atmosphere. Try to come back when they're less busy. There is a very good chance that your experience is as good as I described in this review. Good food, dear readers!"

"If you plan to dine here, be precautious for the restaurant owner yelling at you, throwing things at you and claiming my son is a lawyer. She physically assaulted us and my phone got hit my friend 's wrist was pulled and hurt. The restaurant charges tips automatically for party of 2. It was not shown on my receipt, only my friend found out before I signed my name on the bill for $5 tip (on top of their auto tips for $20 of food. (Picture included. We then requested the restaurant to print a receipt without the auto tips so that we could add our own. As you can see in the picture of my original receipt, I don 't tip badly (even though they gave us a soup with human hairs in it the server helped to change the food , but we didn 't like the way they were trying to fool us around. The server called the owner, and she came yelling at us don 't come again, just sign . After we insisted on a bill reprinted, the owner then threw at us one dollar bills yelling, as if we were caring about several dollars of tips. No, we didn 't care about dollars, and I normally tip better than their auto tips, but we cared about being conned and we cared about the attitude of the restaurant owner. She even said my son is a lawyer . I guess she 's fairly confident that she could just do whatever, because her son would back her up in court?She didn 't seem mentally stable and she came really close to us physically. I started recording this situation and she hit my phone, trying to grab me, reaching towards my pocket (or hand, I don 't honestly know, as you can see in the pictures. She went further to pull my friend 's wrist and hurt her. It was a bit scary at the moment. I 'm glad I videotaped everything. So, if you plan to dine here, good luck. Food: health problemsI got army stew and had 2 pieces of human long hairs in it. It was disgusting. The server was nice to change it for me. But anyway you can imagine the health problems the restaurant might have. Service: They were short staffed, only one waitress doing everything. She was nice and I don 't blame her being slow to bring the water to our table. It was like 20 minutes after we sit down. There were maybe 3 or 4 tables of customers in the restaurant when we came, and there were tables left not cleaned. We waited a few minutes for the table to be cleaned up. The food came about 25 minutes after we placed the order. That was already 45 minutes after we sit down. In general I 'd say slow, slow service. The waitress was nice though. It 's just very short staffed. I will, of course, never come back again after the assault of the owner."
