Local Expedition Wood Fired Grill in other cities:
This place has got the sauce!! No seriously they have a basket of sauce bottles that they send with you to your table. My personal favorites are the cilantro and the lemon garlic sauces, SO GOOD. I usually get the pulled pork (so flavorful and tender) with rice, caramelized brussels sprouts and roasted potatoes with parsley. Cover it all in sauce and you won’t be disappointed. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought and love into this business and you can tell. From the nice aesthetic to the biodegradable containers. This was our 4th time here. Go! You’ll love it!!
Food and service were very good. Our food came out immediately. I loved the sodas and the fact that almost everything on the menu is gluten free. Recommended this to a friend who comes through Atlanta often.
Great food! I had the falafel, and a worker suggested a special sauce (tasted like tzaziki) to go with it. Definitely best with the sauce. Also had zucchini and fries. Overall very happy with the meal. I love that they have special sodas too. The only downside is its a bit overpriced.
Top notch ingredients and excellent flavor in every dish I have had at Local Expedition! Their wraps and wings are some of the best around. Crispy wings with spicy BBQ or garlic sauce and street corn, BOOM!!
I like their corn on the cob. Very tasty. But other stuffs can be better. Not sure I would return.
I really like here👍🏻👍🏻Good plate and I want to highly recommend this chicken wing!Place, food and cashiers are all perfect
Delish! Ive enjoyed everything Ive order here. The street corn, Brussel sprouts and macn cheese are among my favorites...ahhh, and the smoked wings! The prices are reasonable and the food Id flavorful. To top it off, their sauces are simply delightful!
I love this place but they have gone up in price multiple times in the past few months. My meal that cost 11 bucks is now close to 16. I know inflation is tough but it’s almost just enough to make me not want to eat there, or not eat there as often. It’s sad because the food is truly the best in the city.
Wow! Had an outstanding dinner this evening. The falafel are great, and the Street corn is excellent. I now understand the great reviews. Do yourself a favor and stop in. You will love it!
The best Mediterranean flare food we’ve had in Atlanta so far (7/31/20 @ 1:40pm) . The falafels were perfectly crispy and delicious. The sauces they offer super yummy. The sweet potatoes and corn delightful! The staff was super friendly and offered ideas for sauces to pair the food with . The food felt very fresh as well!Can’t wait to be back again ! Thank you!
Really clean and simple but lots of flavors. The cilantro sauce is so good with everything and I love that there are actually healthy side dishes here instead of vegetables drowning in butter. Could not recommend enough!
Clean interior. Its basically an upscale, bougie version of Chipotle with a Greek accent, roughly double the cost of Chipotle. They have a kiosk where you can order. Didnt give it 5 stars because the only soda options are very sweet, except the one sugar-free option which is not good, and it costs $4/cup. Recommend the chicken, the wings, the street corn, and potato salad. Do not recommend the sodas. Looking forward to returning, to try the pork, salads, and falafel.
Deeelicious! This was my first time visiting and the manager explained all the offerings. We taste tested a few sides then ordered. I had grilled chicken with the sweet and spicy potatoes and the street corn. Everything was so flavorful, cooked perfectly. I will definitely be back!
Going to try but automatic 2 star deduction for frying their food in veggie oils . These restaurants need to get ahead of the Seed Oil disrespect movement that is gaining more and more traction. The menu proudly displays veggie oil lol thats disgusting as if olive oil doesnt exist ! Anywho . Im going to try this place once based off of a recommendation but never again .
Great place to eat. Several options for protein, and also healthy side options. Food is very tasty.. Salsa options are good, the cilantro one is my favorite.
I have been going to the Alpharetta location for over 2 years now. The food is so good. I took a job in Buckhead and would go up on my off times. Now they have opened in sandy springs I am so happy. This is best food that happens to be healthy. If there were more places this I wouldn’t be fat. Welcome to Sandy Springs!
First Thoughts : Very easy to find and impressed on interior design of this place. Also the way they are handling this Covid-19, I thought I was in a Hospital because they were wiping down pens and tables with Clorox wipes (basically everything that the customers touches), hand sanitizer, gloves, and spit guard mask which I never seen before. I felt very safe and clean eating at this place. Felt like I can bring my family and enjoy this place when it opens the dining area.Service : Was greeted immediately once I walked in. Very polite and great positive attitude. Danny (Owner) had asked if I needed help with menu but it was self explanatory. The only hard part was choosing what I wanted from the sides cause there were so many good sides to choose from. To help me from deciding he actually insisted of samples so I could make my mind up but instead it made me want to get everything on the menu. But finally came to a decision due to his friendly worker Lissette. She said her favorite is Carmalized Brussels, Dannys favorite was the LA Street Corn, the chef said I absolutely needed to try mini Potstickers and I picked the broccoli.Wait Time : 15 minutesFood : I got myself a Just Sides Plate (comes with 3 sides of your choice and 2 slices of pita.) I chose the LA Street Corn / Caramelized Brussels Sprouts / Sauteed Broccoli also added a Mini Vegan Potstickers. The LA Street Corn was very explosive with flavors, it was drizzled with cilantro sauce, lemon garlic sauce, cotija cheese (Mexican parmesan cheese), parsley, and sumac seasoning. Let me tell you when I say I hate Brussels Sprouts since I was a little boy. I found out that all this time it was my mom who was making them wrong cause these Caramelized Brussels Sprouts was the best I ever tasted. I highly recommend you guys try this cause they give samples before you commit. Thats the best part of this restaurant. My 3rd choice was Sauteed Broccoli and these chef knew exactly how much to saute my broccoli cause I hate it when it comes out to soggy or to hard. It was just enough crunch and flavor that makes it different from other restaurants. Now for my last dish was Mini Vegan Potstickers (fried dumplings). The first bite I took I thought there was pork or meat in these Potstickers. I had to ask the cashier if they accidentally gave a meat Potstickers and he said they only have one kind which were vegan. The reason I asked was because Im Vegan and cant eat meat. My gosh still cant believe how good these Potstickers were. They hand make these themself and the mystery behind the meat taste was jicama. People you must try this or youll regret it.Overall Experience : The best thing about this place is how a vegan person like me can bring my friends and family here because they have best of both worlds. They have Chicken breast, Wings, Pulled Pork for the meat eaters and for the vegans they have Portobello Mushrooms, and Falafel. This place is good to have a party because its so spacious and the parking spaces is so huge. Overall you just have to try it for yourself to see why everyone is so addicted to this place. Here are some photo of my food and place.Delivery : Yes they deliver within 5 mile radius and with a minimum of $20 order. Also the delivery is FREE. They use their own in house drivers so you wont need to worry about your food being tainted.Curbside : Yes they offer curbside. The best part about curbside is they have a big parking lot in the back, its located in the same building as the apartment complex building. Love the fact they Clorox wipe the pens for you and afterwards they give you a squirt of hand sanitizer.Takeout : The restaurant has there doors wide open so you dont need to touch and door handles and they provide the hand sanitizer for you after signing the electronic pad. Also has premade drink cups so it minimizes the people who touches it.
One of our family’s favorite restaurants in Atlanta! Literally everything on their menu is delicious. A few of my favorite things are the chicken and rice, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, pork wrap, fries, and Mexican street corn. And you have to try their homemade sauces! They also have specially crafted draft sodas that you can’t find just anywhere.The interior design is simple yet incredibly pleasing to the eyes which makes it a great casual date spot. They have large family tables for large groups as well. You will not be disappointed with this place!We have also catered from them multiple times and have never been disappointed by the food or service. Amazing food and amazing customer service. I would give this place 10 stars if possible!
Since everyone is practicing social distancing and quarantining themselves during the COVID-19 crisis we’ve found ourselves walking around Dunwoody and Sandy Springs more often. We have passed Local Wood Fired Grill a few times and kept saying we’d stop in, well we finally did. This place is incredible, tons of food options that are gluten free, vegan, and traditional! The hummus plate was incredible and so were their all natural wraps! They have this really trendy soda machine inside too! The staff is friendly and accommodating and, the restaurant is clean and the location is perfect. Seriously couldn’t recommend it more! The staff is amazing, plus you’re supporting a locally owned business.Update:Local Expedition Wood Fired Grill continues to impress! Not only are they consistent with local and state policies regarding social distancing and cleanliness but they have incredible customer service paired with amazing menu options. We have been to Local probably 4 times in the last month and each and every time the food gets better and better. They should consider selling a cook book because their food is outstanding!
One of my favorite restaurants. The pork is tender and delicious, and it is so hard to narrow down which sides to have because they are ALL so good! Love that its easy to eat gluten free here. Highly recommend the brussels, squash/kale and the maple carrots. The staff is great and very friendly! Did some takeout tonight and my dogs expected me to share. No way, pups. Its all mine!
Visited WFG after seeing several Atlanta feed bloggers posting about it. While the meat choices are somewhat limited the sides they offer are quite expensive. My friend and I joked that we wanted to come back just to try all the sides. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The food is very tasty and also had complementary sauces you could use to jazz up your entree.
Best wings I ever had!!! Grilled wings are perfectly cooked and seasoned and the sides are healthy and taste amazing. I only ate here on work trips but I still dream about it!
I love the local so much! Everything I have had is delicious! They have so many vegetable side options, and they do a great job at seasoning the vegetables to help the flavor come through rather than over powering the taste. My go to are definitely the Brussel sprouts, broccoli, and zucchini.But dont skip on the local fries or the Mexican corn! Personally I like my local corn off the Cobb. Both are topped with their cilantro and lemon garlic sauces!If you ever save room for dessert (which is hard to do!) I highly recommend the grilled pineapple with ice cream!
BEST Take-out/lunch spot in Sandy Springs. I’m obsessed with their Mediterranean, Asian, American fusion flare cuisine. I’m a huge fan of side dishes so I love that they have unique salads and vegetables everyday.It’s very reasonably priced and you get a huge portion each time!My go to is the smoked wings with rice, beet salad, sesame sweet potatoes and roast cauliflower.Don’t forget the garlic and cilantro lime sauce!
Weve been to the location in Alpharetta, so we figured wed try this one out. The staff was helpful and ordering was easy. The food is fresh and yummy. They were relatively quick with getting our food out.
Love this place. The food is always so fresh. Great menu items and the service is excellent. Highly recommend.
Awesome food! Can’t beat the wings and fries!!
I was speechless after I finished my meal from Local Expedition. Their food was soooooo good. Endless options. I recommend the local fries. Please just go to see for yourself. You WILL NOT be disappointed.Follow me on IG: taajmanian_foodie
A great experience every time. Food is delicious, portion sizes are good, and the service is always prompt.
OMG this place is amazing. Awesome fries. Awesome entrees. Awesome brussel sprouts.Will definitely return. Absolutely recommend
Chloe and Jay were the best at taking care of us when we came to eat! So sweet, kind, and incredible customer service. The food was also delicious. Best fries I’ve ever had, and really good wings. I’ll definitely be back!
Super good! I got the one meat two sides option. I got the pulled pork w/ street corn, rice, & Mac. My mom got the chicken plate with Brussels sprouts and the chicken was amazing! Jay recommended everything and he did a great job! He even suggested the pineapple soda which was super good!
Delicious food that doesn’t make you feel gross after eating. Tons of tasty and healthy side dishes to choose from. My favorite sides are the spaghetti squash, Brussel sprouts, and sweet potato with black sesame seeds. I also love the chicken wings as my protein. Make sure to try all four sauces!
I was blown away with how good the food is here. The sides change daily and they steal the show. I had the cauliflower with peas and it was delicious.A bit pricey but was worth every penny.
Food was good. Cooks weren’t that friendly. Pretended to not speak english. Pet peave. If your looking for a healthy flavorful meal, check them out. Fresh ingredients.
I came to get takeout recently. Delicious food and wide selection of sides!
9/24/21 Pros: Food is of good quality, they offer pseudo-health conscious (All-Natrual/No hormone chicken, cane sugar in drinks instead of High Fructose Corn Sugar, etc). For the area, surprisingly not incredibly expensive, polite staff, food was ready nearly immediately but still hot and fresh.Cons: While relatively inexpensive, the food suffers from being extremely adequate, and not particularly mind-blowing or innovative, for the praise, raves, accolades and reviews it has received. For perspective, I got the Grilled Chicken wings, Order of fries, and Mac and cheese with Rice and Pita. Everything individually was hot and adequate enough but I can’t seem to find any sort of theme that ties these various foods together in any meaningful way. The menu itself is rather limited as well. The sauces were particularly tasty, and paired well with the items I had but unfortunately seemed almost necessary, as the food was rather lacking in their absence.All, in all, it’s fine if you’re near, but definitely not a go to, must have or detour-worthy dining experience.
Parking was easy. Food was great. I especially loved the sweet potatoes side dish - cooked perfectly and super tasty. Staff was great also.Eating outside next to the large and busy street was not a good choice though - traffic was too noisy during lunch hour to talk easily.
This was our first visit.We were looking at a paper menu when one of the staff came from behind the counter to greet us and asked if we were visiting for the first time.We told him yes and he explained the concept to us and offered the most popular guest options.We ordered our food shortly after and opted to dine in.The food was brought to our table after a short wait. It was fresh and hot.Both our meals were delicious. They had a home cooked taste from the first bite to the last.Im glad I joined the rewards program. Well definitely be back!
Highly recommend this place!Foods, staffs, and atmosphere.. everything is so great❣️One of the best restaurants in Atlanta😉
This place is an absolute most go . Food was very fresh and flavorful . Staff was amazing Lissette and Amanda made a lasting impression . Will definatly return .
I was in town for work and local expedition was my go to for great quality food the whole time. I tried just about everything on the menu but my favorite was the falafel wrap. You honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Great staff and service as well. Don’t hesitate to ask to try a sample of the numerous sides they have. If there is a cookie available get it! They sell out quick. Great restaurant!
Great restaurant! I order from here once a week and I am always pleased with the service and the food. Thank you!
Very impressed with the menu selections.Good, quality food. I would most definitely return!
Traveling is always a struggle when you are a gluten free vegetarian (I have celiac disease) so finding this place was a blessing! My mom and I came from out of state and we both found options we loved. The owners are very involved and knowledgeable of their menu and allergens, the sauces were a fun additive and the food was fresh and prepared quickly. We loved the fingerling potatoes, Brussel sprouts and grilled zucchini! Everything was flavorful as well as cooked and seasoned perfectly. My mom loved the chicken and everything was so good we came back the next night. The food is served quickly and they offer a variety of really good beverages to compliment the food and the atmosphere is nice. Definitely will be coming back next time we’re in town!
Absolutely amazing everything I ordered was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Left feeling satisfied and not sleepy after. REAL FOOD made with love.
LOVE this place! So many healthy options with great serving sizes and excellent customer service! Wish we had found this gem in the Perimeter area sooner. The corn, Brussels sprouts, and green beans will put your mama’s veggies to shame.
Cant wait to go back! Everything from the Mexican style street corn, to the french fries, the pita bread, chicken with garlic lemon sauce, it was all delicious! Food was sooo good, portions were great, and the staff was helpful and kind.
This food is so good that I never get a pic to include with my review because I’m so ready to dive in. This is my third visit and they have not disappointed yet. The wraps are yummy. The smoked wings are out of this world. And the fries and Brussel sprouts are good also! Cant wait to try other items. And not to mention the price is fair.
Amazing fresh food!! Cooked to perfection, we love this place- always consistent- delicious food!!We’ve had to go and just dined in tonight and it’s always great! The staff is amazing as well. Love all the vegan/vegetarian options! Super heathy options, the broccoli, and other veggies cooked to perfection! My hubby loves the grilled chicken and wings! You have to try the local special fries, they are to die for!! The flavors all mix together so well!!
Bought rice, cauliflower and peas and falafels for dinner. The plate was as dry as It sounds. Mushrooms was an option (Im vegetarian) but had to pay extra like 2.99 or so! We also bought the local fries which was a huge mistake cos it was 4.99 and not very good, the sauce on it was not enough, it didnt taste great and was dry again. This food makes you buy soda which isnt cheap either. I mean, I paid $16 for food with no wet components whatsoever, except for the sauces of course, which is another fakery not just in this but most restaurants. Lemon and Cream. sauce is made not from lemon but from vinegar, it reeks of vinegar. So did all other sauces. So out of $16 and no satisfying meal. Is money of no worth these days?
Sauces are great - cilantro (green) was my favorite. Protein was a bit dry for both pork and chicken but decent flavor. I had it in the wrap format and the naan?/pita? was delicious. Nice selection of drinks like kombucha, juices, aloe, craft beer, craft soda, tea, and more. Cool vibe - patio is well spaced and overall the staff was very proactive and helpful throughout the experience for a quick service place. Ill be back & would recommend... They just need to keep better tabs on how long the meat stays in the warming table, thats all.
I live in the apartments behind local. And man let me tell you Danny (owner) and his team are phenomenal! He takes the time to get to know his customers, not only that but the food is outstanding from their wing, to the local fries, even the Mac and cheese is excellent. You should experience this lovely restaurant yourself and get your tastebuds going!
Good food easy service! Came here because they were rated so highly on yelp! I enjoyed the wings especially and would definitely return!
Great tasting food but pricey. Ideal spot for lunch. Chicken and corn on the cob is definitely a hit the local fries has plenty of taste must try
Me and my boyfriend ate here last week for the first time and the food was great. We both had the chicken gyro wrap. I had there corn on the cob that was absolutely delicious. You must visit this establishment 🙃
Food was mediocre. Strange combinations;Pita bread and barbecue. Very bland pulled pork and lots of rice. Corn on the cob, advertised as street cornWas also tasteless. I was hoping for a special neighborhood dining experience.Disappointed.
Perfect place for an evening meal. My wife and I love their fries and corn sides. Their complimentary sauces make every food taste amazing. Interior is classy and cozy as well.
I came up to Atlanta to drop off my boyfriend at St. Joseph Hospital for procedure and was famished.Decided to just pick a place close by, so as I walked into a shopping area and into Local Expedition, I was greeted with friendly and hard working working staff.I was Immediately impressed with the cleanliness, orderly work fashion and the promptness of the service. I ordered a smoked pork wrap and a upon receiving it, the manager, who was very professional, gave me free drink for my first time there and free sauces to try!Everything was made naturally there, Even the tea is a few infused with agave syrup and they have their own soft drinks that are all natural. I am impressed! The sweet baby carrots for wonderful! I will be back! 🙃
We are traveling and staying only one night at a hotel looking for something to eat dinner close by. This is the best food we had all week traveling. Next time when we are around, we definitely will order again!!!
Wish we could give 10 STARS!!! David the manager made every dish sound appetizing. Before we had one morsel of food he made the food sound so mouth watering. Our experience was unmatched and we will drive cross town for the food and genuine service.
My new favorite spot in Sandy Springs! My mother and I were recently having a conversation about how restaurants are lacking having a good selection of veggie sides and this place had a great selection of vegetables. They were very accommodating to special diets, the place was very clean and there customer service was great. We have driven by many times but if only we had known sooner. We will definitely be returning.
Great food and wonderful staff. Found this place a couple months ago and feel like Ive been every other week.Recommend the corn, and green beans with any entree.
Great food, very stylish yet casual restaurant. Clean, with very courteous staff. The food was great but definitely loved the corn the most. Excellent eatery with several healthy options. Definitely will be back; loved it!
We visited this restaurant for the first time ever, today. It was SO GOOD! I didnt want my wrap to end and I couldve emptied the cilantro sauce bottle. The Stubborn Sodas were very good also. The man taking our order was friendly and very helpful. Loved the experience and look forward to getting to visit again!
Easy to read menu, friendly staff, reasonable prices, quick service, tasty soda selection (not coke for once; cant remember name of fountain machine but it had some amazing unique flavours), healthy and organic food! Whats not to love? Would definitely recommend this place - originally saw it on TikTok with a friend and we just had to try something new for dinner! Coming back next time ;)
I’m in love with this place! Great concept, simple, well prepared food with fantastic flavor. Lots of side options all of which are A+. Chicken wings are cooked perfectly every time and fries are to die for! This place will not disappoint and kids love it too. So glad you’re in Sandy Springs.
BEST FRIES EVER!!!! And the best customer service in the area! The staff was so friendly and amazing to us! Food is incredibly good for the price, can’t beat that! We wanted to be outside so they wiped the chairs and put the umbrella up just for us! Plus, they have delicious food, generous portions, and also very healthy and vegan options! I love this place!
Placed an order online with very specific instructions for each item we ordered and they nailed it!! They got everything right! The portions were large and the food was delicious! Looking forward to going back.
I love this place!! The food is top notch, very high quality. My favorite things to get are the pork wrap with local fries and the oriental salad with chicken. So good!! And David always makes sure my order is exactly as I wanted it!! Highly recommend!
Amazing food all around, some if the best wings and mac and cheese I’ve had. Everything tasted delicious and very healthy. Sauces are all great. Outstanding service and atmosphere. Will definitely be back for more.
If healthy comfort food is a thing, this place is it! I absolutely love their menu! They have a variety of fresh, healthy sides and the most amazing smoked wings. Im pretty sure Ive worked my way through the menu and every thing is delicious. Literally. Dont even get me started on the organic sweet green tea!
By the third visit the staff knew me and greeted me. They’re also kind, funny and helpful. Great attitudes and always give the best recs. Danny’s unmatched when it comes to recommendations (cauliflower and peas :)). Food is always perfect and always better than the last. Have yet to find something i don’t love.
I absolutely LOVE this place! I started eating at the Alpharetta location when I worked out there and was blown away. Imagine my excitement when they moved into Sandy Springs and right down the street from me! Not only is the food mouth watering but it’s on the healthy side, always fresh and the sides change daily.The owner is in there everyday and is truly concerned with top notch service and customer experience. You will not find a more courteous staff that seem to really enjoy making the customer happy.I can’t recommend this place enough and I hope people realize the gem they now have on their neighborhood!
Great food, cant wait to come back!
Visited several times since they first opened their doors; I used to visit their Alpharetta location so knew it would be good if that was any indication. And it is - do yourself a favor and treat your stomach to fresh/healthy and delicious meal!
Great wood fired wings. Quick service. Prices bet reasonable for value and quality. Highly recommend this place. Hey, it got 250 5/5 star reviews for a reason. Great food, good value, well run. This place is a must for everyone to try.
Ive gotten takeout from them several times and Ive loved them every time. My daughter and wife have a harder time finding menu items to fall in love with though.
How is this place so so so good every time I visit? I used to take pottery classes around this area and would stop by to get food afterwards. The fries are sooooo good I am dreaming about it right now :-(Service is also super friendly which is a plus. Tbh, I think this location is much better than the Johns Creek/Alpharetta location! I cant wait to go back again!
Did not disappoint! Actually exceeded our expectations! Our picky eater left with a clean tray. Highly recommend their sides and sauces. Excellent all the way around.
This is my first every review but Local is just THAT good. The food is so good (try the smoked wings and mac&cheese), the sauce is off the charts, and the people who work here are INCREDIBLE. Never had a bad experience. Super cool vibes.
We are so thankful that we share retail space with an amazing restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing and healthy. The customer service and attention to detail is what set them apart from their comps. I eat there at least twice a week. So, stop by there and enjoy some amazing food!
I would eat here every single day if I could. I cannot speak highly enough of this place!! The customer service is unmatched and the food is amazing. One night we got there about 10 min before they closed and not a single person was inconvenienced or rushed to get our order and we sat outside so that they could clean and before locking the door they made sure we had our drinks refilled and asked if we needed to use the restroom or anything. And this was well after they should have been closed. It appears to be family run and the younger staff is so polite and caring. Seriously just trust me on this one, the most amazing restaurant!
We live in the area and stopped by tonight. Right off the bat, the location is gorgeous, and the design elements are something to get lost in. We had such good service and were impressed by affordable prices. The wait was super short for how many people they were serving. We got our food to go and when we got home we were so happy with the quality! We had falafel, street corn, wings and fries and every bit was crunchy, fresh, and super filling. We’re super happy to have somewhere in walking distance that has great food that we can make a regular spot!
What can I say? The Local Expedition Wood Fired Grill seems to be doing great during the pandemic! They recently opened their Sandy Springs location located on Hammond Drive. Parking is plentiful. Theres parking underneath the condos and a large parking lot near the restaurant. The restaurant was spotless and very welcoming when I visited. I was greeted as soon as I opened the door. The staff was masked up although they do not require masks in order to come into the facility. I ordered my meal ahead over the phone (grilled and smoked wings with rice and brussel sprouts) and it was ready when I arrived. Payment was totally contactless. Customer service was great and my meal was delicious.
I was super happy that they opened a second location and near my home!! This location opened shortly before the pandemic, and they’ve continued to provide excellent service and adjustments. Danny and his team have made curbside pickup so easy and convenient. I believe they also offer free delivery in the Sandy Springs area. (Please double check with the restaurant).I’ve been here multiple times since the pandemic began, and I can confirm that the staff members use clear face guards and gloves, which are much more sanitary.The food is amazing, and the portions are very generous. If you have any dietary restrictions, this restaurant will be a great fit for you! Everything is pretty customizable, and their craft sodas are soooo good!! Danny also sincerely cares about his customers and their experience at his restaurant. Please support your LOCAL & small businesses!!
Today was my first visit to Local Expedition Wood Fired Grill but I assure you it will not be my last. The food is delicious. We tried the chicken wrap, wings, street corn, and the mac and cheese. Everything was great. If the excellent food was not enough, the staff was outstanding too. Total winner!!!
This place is only ok. Theyre quick to prepare so thats good! I had the falafel wrap. So so so bland. The hummus plate - hummus good, pita meh. Something was off about the pita. The corn was okay. Bland too. Overall the food is just too bland.
My husband found this place on Google, so he went to pick up some food. The manager (or worker) was so nice. He gave him food recommendations, tons of sauces to try (which is a big deal for us cuz we both love sauces). We both loved the food, and the quality of it, and all of the sauces he gave us❤
The entire menu is delicious and satisfying. All the sides are great, definitely try the sauces too. Don’t be surprised if it becomes your favorite food spot!
Locals is my favorite restaurant for quick, affordable and healthy eats. Everything I’ve tried has been AMAZING, and all of the workers are very friendly! I highly recommend getting the Brussels sprouts and lemon garlic sauce, you won’t regret it :)
My husband and I came to check out this new local restaurant and loved it. We were greeted by a very pleasant and energetic young man. He gave us some great recommendations! Not your typical BBQ loved everything and so many choices. We will be back.
Great food, healthy choices, exceptional customer service, affordable family meals. During COVID my family orders from here at least once a week. The owner and his family are friendly and personable. So happy to have this place in our neighborhood!
O.M.G. Absolutely delicious! I wrote this review before I even left the restaurant. Service was great, food is fresh, the local fries are mouth watering. Great find! Ill be back.
They have great food and friendly service. The food is fresh and the prices are fair. Its definitely worth coming here for a tasty meal.
My wife and I are huge fans of this place.Fantastic menu of sides, very fresh food and ingredients, amazing sauces, and incredible staff! Do check out the LA Street corn, vegan potstickers, chicken wings and veggie curry among other sides. You will not be disappointed. This Sandy Springs/Dunwoody location is as consistent in food quality as the Alpharetta location. Hope this place is here to stay!
What an experience! I am so grateful to have a place like this in my neighborhood! We walked in and were immediately greeted and welcomed by the kitchen staff and manager. The manager was extremely personable and helped explain the menu so that we could choose easier. The selection of sides was the best part. Lots of fresh cooked veggies including green beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, zucchini and more! The falafel was phenomenal.My entree was grilled chicken and I added the sweet bbq sauce to it. That sauce is what set it off! You must try the chicken with sweet bbq sauce! And be sure to add the cilantro sauce to the falafel. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed eating here. More restaurants and businesses should follow this lead.when it comes to making the customer feel appreciated.
I’m not often surprised with how much I like a place. I expected it to be good, but wow. Wings were perfect and needed no sauce. Pot stickers were amazing as well. Employees were courteous and helpful. All around a great experience.
First time visit = could be a recurring restaurant. From the fresh sides, to the pork and the really neat soda machines, it is a fun little restaurant.Additionally, the staff was pleasant, they offered to go containers and the whole experience was nice. See you soon!
I ate here for lunch the other day. I was not sure what to expect but I was not disappointed. The food is delicious! I had the chicken which is divine. I also had the roasted potatoes and the meal was served with rice and 2 pita bread slices. Also you get a choice of 4 sauces. If you have not had the sauces before they will bring the 4 sauces to your table to try. All of the sauces are good. I would try them all. I would definetly recommend you at least try this place. You will not be disappointed!
Best place to eat in Sandy Springs. Not too expensive either!
Been waiting for this one to open as the Alpharetta location was great. Been here many things since their opening and not once have I been disappointed. The food is great, especially the brussel sprouts and chicken wings, the service is phenomenal and the atmosphere is pleasant. Pretty fast for what you get. Prices arent bad either.Another plus: food reheats well, also.Would recommend to anyone so they have something for everyone.
I will still give 5 stars because I feel they deserve it...the fries phenomenal...the different type of sauces very tasty and will satisfy anyones pallet.... I tried the wings ...a wrap and plate ...pulled pork very flavorful....wings grilled to perfection I asked for only flats but was given all drumsticks only downside...and the wrap was good helping as well... definitely worth checking out if your around the area you will not go wrong
I come here at least once a week for the chinese chicken salad - life changing
Consistently excellent food and great portion sizes! The falafel and grilled chicken have tons of flavor! Every side I’ve tried has been great! Danny and the entire staff is SO friendly and make you feel right at home!
Ive been a fan of The Local ever since I accidentally stumbled across them in Alpharetta. Needless to say, I was excited to see that they opened a new location right around the corner from me. The food here is fantastic. Its one of the few places where I would recommend any and every thing on the menu. Everyone in there, from the staff to the owners are super friendly. Again, highly Recommend! You wont be disappointed.
First impressions...food quality(5), restaurant layout (3), understanding menu (2), taste (4). Overall great food, but in floor design and menu they went for fashion over functional.
I didnt realize healthy food could be so good! Literally they have the best fries Ive tried. The sauce options are great as well. The kitchen is so clean and the interior of the store is so cute and asthetic. Perfect for pics! Definitely will come again!
Good customer service, clean place, food was good but could have been a bit warmer/Will be back!
Unfortunately, didnt eat here due to the fact that all 3 employees were relaxing without masks and majority of food was uncovered. Its hard enough to make the decision to eat out with an active virus but they made it easy not to try a new restaurant walking distance from home.REPLY TO RESPONSE.I live at 1160 Hammond. You are on my corner. There is a new gym opening soon beside you.I went in and there were 3 men and one had his mask under his chin and the others without. I am sure because I went in and grabbed a menu and stood and debated on staying because you have excellent reviews.I believe you had good intentions with your health standards but your staff was not complying Monday around 5pm.
This is by far my favorite place to eat in the dunwoody area. All the food is fresh, clean, and healthy. The choice and quality of sides are awesome. My favorites are the Mac and cheese, beets quinoa and Kale, and the sautéed green beans when Im craving spicy. I usually go with the wings or pork, but occasionally Ill enjoy the falafel wrap and Chinese chicken salad. Honestly, you cant go wrong with anything here.Danny is the man and always greets you with a warm welcome. Try it out!#supportlocalbusinesses
We visited this place on our daughter’s birthday for dinner. It was our first time visiting but we had a good time with delicious food and excellent service. Since it was our first time visiting all the way from Nashville Tennessee, we were treated with excellent service.We loved it and will definitely be visiting again!!Thank you!!
Ok this crazy but I’ve never been to your restaurant but the dental office I was working today ordered food from you guys and I could not believe on how good and tasty the food was. It reminded me of the food I used to have in my country... it tasted like real food is supposed to taste like 👍🏼I’ll be having it again at home so my husband can try it too. Thank you so much
Very fresh food, very kind people!Everything tasted amazing, you cant go wrong with what you pick :)Will be coming back again!
So much flavor! The Brussels sports week the best Iva ever had. You get a lot of food for the price. They Menu could use more variety. I’m addicted to this place!
The environment is amazing. The staff is always welcoming and providing great customer service. The food is healthy and very filling with an array of sides that’s all very tasty.
Being from So. Cal. this is the next best thing besides actually being there. So much to choose from, you cant go wrong! The smoke wings, brussel sprouts, Chinese chicken salad, veggie pot stickers etc... You CANT go wrong! Good Eats...
My lunch was super! Excellent staff (Mandy) we will definitely return to taste more of the sides :)
Wonderful variety and you just know it’s going to be good. I enjoyed their sauce array. Very friendly service and very clean.
Great food and the staff is super accommodating and kind. I highly recommend their pineapple dessert its so good.
Found this place while driving by and did a U turn. Food was great! And fresh! We sat at the outside patio on a beautiful day. The owner came by to check up on us. I will definitely be back!
Probably the best food in Atlanta without breaking the bank. The staff are top notch, everyones so kind. Cant recommend enough
So great to finally find a place that lives up to the reviews. Food was great and I llCertainly come back when visiting Atlanta. Bathrooms were clean.
Good food, fun and good sodas, helpful staff!

Every time I have eaten here or at the Alpharetta location I have had nothing but great experiences and even better food. I cant speak highly enough of the staff. I was in tonight and will probably be back before the week is over. Wonderful place!
Just left the restaurant- food and atmosphere were both excellent. Affordable, fresh, and delicious food with solid service led to a great night.

I highly recommended this awesome restaurant, not only for their really good food but for the management also that is very excellent!
First time customer and I’ll be back. Service and food were excellent and fast, not to mention the integrity of the GM, David who returned my credit card to me after I left it in the card reader and went and sat down. Thanks David, that could have been a costly mistake😱
Best food every time. Everything delicious. Staff is great and helpful. New sandy springs location is amazing. Lots of parking and ample seating

Love, Love, Love this place. Local never disappoints and always delivers great food every time. Seriously one of the most CONSISTENT dining experiences I’ve ever had.
Great food at a decent price. I normally get the pulled pork wrap and add spicy bbq sauce. Mexican street corn also very good.
Very good. A little unusual but the flavors were excellent. Try the LA street corn for sure!
Amazing food! Very clean! Amazing staff! Beautiful restaurant! Cheap prices for quality food. I will be a weekly regular!
Lots of options for vegans & vegetarians, conveniently located in Sandy Springs (just north of Buckhead), and the owner was extremely friendly.
So so so delicious. Healthy food with a delicious taste! Obsessed with the chicken plate with Brussel sprouts and cilantro sauce. Try it... you’ll thank me.

2022-06-21Simple menu that is perfected with nearly every selection. The LA corn and fries were next level with their toppings, and the falafel was great. The wings were so good they didnt need anything, but the sauces beckoned. Exceptional selection of beverages. Good atmosphere and outdoor seating.

2022-05-07Just left this place for dinner. The food was very good, well seasoned and great portions for the price. I loved all the different options. The sauces were really good. The spicy BBQ was my fav. Gave a 4 because the staff person at the order kiosk saw us walk in with confusion about where to order but let us walk around and didnt speak up. Another coworker or owner had to help us when he saw us walking the wrong way. Once we got up to the counter to order he was not that friendly.

2022-05-08Came here 5.6.22First Ill say the food is amazing.. Really good food with plenty of side options. Ill definitely come back..... The ambience is amazing as far as a quick bite restaurant.... I need to try the fries next time..... The restaurant is very clean.. I would give it 5 stars but the male employee we had that evening wasnt that pleasant.. He had a long day.. Ill just say that........ The food was too good to hv an employee mess up my first time experience here.... Ill definitely be back soon.. Easy Parking at the SS location.. I wish it was closer.. Great sauce too for the food.

2021-10-06The service here is EXCELLENT The owner and all of his staff were very attentive & friendly. The food was GREAT! The Street Corn is my fave! The Chicken Wrap was also really good, the chicken breast that they make is seasoned so well. The Dumplings, Smoked & Grilled Wings and the Grilled Pineapple Dessert are must try’s! They have a great outdoor patio and the craft tap sodas were so good. I love Local Expedition!

2022-03-27It is the best option in this area, the food is delicious, as soon as you finish ordering and the food arrives at your table super fast, fresh and delicious, we loved the wings in addition to their 4 dressings, lemon garlic and Cilantro are the best, it is a good dish for the price you pay, we were completely satisfied, also the waitress named Rocio served us in a very kind and respectful way, explaining the menu to us and bringing the food to our table super fast. In short, if you want to eat something nutritious, delicious, fresh and fast, this is your best option.

2021-07-10One of the best foods in Atlanta. We got their Chicken breast and smoked wings plate with rice and roasted potatoes and it was amazing. So delicious. Their sauces are on point. Their Cilantro and Spicy BBQ sauce are fire 🔥🔥🔥. Very reasonable prices. Check it out !!!!

2022-06-20I love this place! Ill typically go out of my way just to swing by and get some grub! The food here is always flavorful and delicious! The inside is always clean and staff members are always keeping it tidy! The customer service is also on point as they are always friendly! I usually go to a place over and over and over but The Local Wood Fired Grill is always worth it! Its very close to Costco which I love so I usually make a route out of it every time Im in the area.

2022-05-08Tried this place after my mom said the place was good. Very disappointed. The menu was very confusing to understand and I really couldn’t understand what concept this restaurant was aiming for. The food individually were all okay but not sure how they tie together. The pineapple ice cream was good but it’s ice cream…can’t go wrong with it. I really liked their interior but can’t say that I would come back for the food. Would’ve rather just drove another 3 minutes and go to Shake Shack or Chipotle next door. I really hope the owner would redo the menu so it’s easier to understand! I don’t seem to be the only one having a difficult time understanding it…read the other reviews!
