The Local Cafe & Grocer

Good food, good service, nice surroundings.

Too bad I hadn't gone here sooner! Got a family meal last night for 30 bucks. 3 awesome fresh sides and 4 softshell crabs for 30 dollars. Will definitely do their carryout dinner specials again soon. It said for 2 people but we made 4 meals of it easily.

We happened upon this place as it shares Hill and Holler’s parking area. We liked The Local’s menu better so we had a Sunday lunch on their deck. Plant-based burger, fresh salad and soup were all delicious. Love the country touch of real utensils and cloth napkins. Staff was friendly and helpful. Space is well-lit and clean.

I do wish the salad were served on a dish instead of a plastic carry-out container (or, at least, the lid detached easily). The use of plastic here seemed to be just practical as people do carry-out but it did seem at odds with other sustainability choices like cloth napkins and ‘real’ utensils.

If we lived here, this spot would be a regular date night. We will remember it when we travel this way next time.

This place also carries some local produce and grocery products in well-kept displays.

Love the fact I can swing by here and pick up a locally sourced dinner on the way home from work!
