Most Disliked
Some diners have noted that during peak hours, the restaurant can get quite busy, potentially leading to longer wait times. However, the staff’s dedication to service often mitigates this inconvenience.
While Locals offers a diverse menu, a few guests expressed a desire for more rotating options. Regulars enjoy the fixed menu, but occasional visitors might crave additional novelty or seasonal specials.
Parking is free and readily available, but during busy times, finding a spot may require more effort. This could deter some latecomers from enjoying their meals without a hitch, though the added community ambiance often makes the wait worthwhile.

Stopped on our way through town on a road trip. We got the turkey sandwich and red pepper tomato soup and both were great. Plus they have my favorite chips - Miss Vickie’s bbq. Wish there was one in Austin so I could go again!

Wow! Simply put, an absolutely delicious meal with an fantastic atmosphere. The staff and owner were just truly lovely. We were on road trip from Southern Texas to Arizona and I found Locals online. I ordered the French dip and it was a gourmet treat with a rich delicious flavor. I was truly impressed as I found it to be a French dip to remember for sure. I also ordered the strawberry spinach salad. It was remarkably deeeeeelicious! Perfect combination of flavors with fresh strawberries, pecans, & feta all on fresh greens with excellent dressing. The owner, Kelly, checked in with us and she was so kind in a truly genuine way. The two young ladies working were also very helpful and so pleasant. Support this amazing business and you will not be disappointed. There is a reason for all the rave reviews!! Bon Appétit!

What a hidden gem! The restaurant is bright, clean and beautifully decorated. The staff was so friendly. You can tell they truly take pride in their business and food quality. We were coming through town and wanted something fresh, and Locals was perfect. We ordered each of the specialty sandwiches of the day, mine was a Caesar sandwich, and they were both delicious. I highly recommend stopping by. We’ll be going out of our way on future road trips just to eat here.
