The Local

Been coming here since it opened. It’s a fantastic foodie’s dream in San Clemente. Always changing up the menu and coming up with creative and seasonal dishes while keeping some of the delicious staples always on the menu (Local Salad, Brussel Sprouts, and Burger). Delicious food, good TV/Bar setup, excellent service and good company. Great addition to the San Clemente Foodie scene!

Came in looking for food and this place worked out nicely. They have a $25 brunch special but i was able to order food and a beer for a little less. The steak and eggs were cooked per my instructions and those along with the nice crunch to the tots were excellent.

$25 bottomless brunch was great. Came here on Superbowl Sunday, and the service was excellent - the server was attentive but not invasive. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which were unique. It wasn't the most amazing take on chicken waffles I've had, but the temperature was good, the chicken was cooked well, and the presentation was appealing. The pineapple mimosa was on point, and we received our food pretty quickly after sitting down. Five stars, nine out of ten, A.

We did a tech scout lunch here - big group of hungry, stressed out people who are also in a hurry. The Local did an amazing job! The food was wonderful, staff was friendly and efficient, and they really went the extra mile for us. Highly recommended! I’d love to eat here sometime when I’m not working

This restaurant was wonderful! We were travelling through the U.S on a motorcycle and I can honestly say that this was our most memorable meal. We could recommend the burger and the ramen soup with pork belly. Very yummy. If you go, and you should, ask for Jack , a fine lad and who we were blessed enough to have as our waiter. Although all the staff were nice. The chefs are very innovative and all ingredients are fresh. There are some nice gluten free options too. Truly excellent! Dutch and Michele
