Stumbling Across a "Local" Restaurant!

Entry by Raymond. (Amateur Amateur Blogger) :)

Nicole and myself were shopping around the South Common area until we got hungry. We didn't have a restaurant in mind, so we were driving around trying to spot what was around the area. We passed by the Local Public Eatery and I had no idea what this place was, so we both decided to give it a try. As we walked in the restaurant, we quickly found out that this place was a pub with an open bar, but also with a family seating area hidden in the back. This made us rethink of our decision, but we still decided to sit down and took a look at the menu. Important note: Don't expect good service at this place. The waitresses pay no attention to you unless your ordering a lot of alcohol. It took us forever to wave her down for the menus and for the bill as well.

We ordered the half nachos to start. And surprisingly, this was one of the best nachos I had for the price. As the picture shows, the nachos was fully loaded with fresh ingredients: tomatoes, olives, fresh avocado chunks , green onion, chicken, cheddar cheese and drizzled in sour cream. It was so good! And it was plenty for the two of us. 

Nicole got a Steak Sandwich with yam fries She said it was not amazing but not terrible either. The yam fries were soggy and not crisp as she would have liked. In addition, the mayo was bland and she said she could do without. 

I decided to get The Deluxe burger with fries. The burger was big compared to a regular one! I had a little difficulty eating the burger... but the small bites tasted very good! The burger was juicy, and tomatoes and lettuce was fresh. The beef patty was not completely well done, the center of the patty was pink throughout even though the waitress said it would be. This made me a little disappointed and also made me question whether it was safe to eat or not... However, I am writing this post now which means I am fine haha! On the other hand, the fries were amazing and I could definitely say that they are one of the best fries I have ever eaten! They were salted perfectly and were extra crispy but not overcooked!

Overall, if you are looking for a noisy place to go have a couple of drinks with friends this would be it. Service is only there if you are ordering drinks and the waitresses are definitely willing to put in a lot of "effort" to make extra tips if you do (hit or miss). Other than that, the food was surprisingly decent for a pub environment (way better than hudsons). Will definitely be back for a guys night out filled with beer and food!
