Amazing Saturday brunch. Really interesting combination of foodie flavors from a range of sweet to savory. The menu online (a day before) did not reflect what was offered, but it did not disappoint. All you can eat, buffet style. Many small children dining but you wouldn't have known it from the sound... all were busy enjoying their eggs and french toast! Occasionally, chilly when someone would enter off the patio. Where a warmer top or take a wrap or drink up on the bottomless coffee.

Restaurant was very attractive and food was delicious. It is classy, but comfortable. Nice ambiance. Bar is a focal point. Nice private room for a small group. A little hard to find, but worth it. The pot pie, shrimp small plate and ramen were very delicious. Nice house red wine!

Was fine! Keep returning out of location convenience, but price point and service level are mismatched on more visits than not. I appreciate the fun and humorous atmosphere, but once a server needs to be flagged down, repeating it twice more makes it feel like any ol’ chain.

We celebrated a birthday during our trip to Local Three. The service was great, although the server was new, she did an excellent job. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars, was that she was new and didn't know the menu as well as we had liked. Also, she boxed up what we were unable to eat and forgot to bring it back to our table, so when we got to the car we remembered that we forgot our leftovers. We didn't go back in for it, either.
With all of that said, the food was delicious. I had the chicken pot pie and he had the "Wellington", which was delicious, but quite on the rare side and the server didn't ask how we wanted it cooked, which would have been a better idea. The cheese tray was great, but the cheeses were very smelly. I love this restaurant and will defintely return, but I only gave 4 stars for this trip.

I wanted to love this place but just cannot overlook the bad. First we were given the a table next to the kitchen door in an relatively empty dining room. Service was good not great. Pricey east coast oysters were not properly shucked and most were pretty beat up like what you would expect from a low-end seafood place. Tuna first plate was the stand out of our meal. Crispy chickpeas were a great contrast in texture. Shrimp and grits were a complete miss however. Uninspiring in flavor or seasoning, the whole dish was spread out in a thin layer onto a large plate for some sort of dramatic display, but all this accomplished for the food was to cool it down rapidly so that it was completely room temperature by the time it was delivered. The server offered a replacement and were given some variation of a shrimp wonton that was equally as forgettable. We also had the burger at the suggestion of our server and it was good but nothing about it made us want to come back and try it again. Overall a bad experience that was close to 200 dollars for the two of us. We wouldn’t try hem again.

We love to come here for brunch on the weekends. We hadn’t been through in a while. Most of the waitstaff are new from what I could see. It started out going south straight from the start. We got seated and a noticed over my wife’s shoulder two of the waitstaff chatting away with each other for a few minutes. Come to find out one of them was our waitress. We were right in front of them and she saw us get seated. Why she wouldn’t come great us right away was beyond me. From there on out her service was very slow. This is the first time this has ever happens. I could go on but I won’t

Chris, Todd and Ryan never disappoint! Great spot for a drink, date or hooking up with friends.

Great drinks by professional bartenders who know and have perfected their craft.

Small sharing plates that are imaginative and typically have a southern spin!

Entrees change quite often and are always worth a try.

Way too loud for an intimate occasion. The sound carried and tables are tight. My wife’ s meal (chicken pot pie) was bland and need additional salt. My scallops were good but were way overpriced at $35 , when basically it was 4 scallops and a salad. Dessert for both of us was non- memorable. I had the Nutella Banana Panini. Something I could easily have made at home with a jar of Nutella, a banana and a waffle. The bright spot was the server who was attentive and courteous.

All you can eat brunch with a buffet style line that goes through the kitchen. Great food and service was awesome.

The women's bathroom was trashed. Had to step over the wall mounted trash can that had obviously fallen off the wall and the bathroom was obviously not well maintained. Only complaint of the outing.

We were promptly seated for our 1:45pm reservation. Very good service and ambiance for my husband, 12 year old daughter and me. On the other hand we were very disappointed in the brunch buffet food options for the price. The buffet was loaded with carbs and not at all enough protein or veggies. So a lot of breads, pasta, rice and cheese going on. The only veggie was a salad of which my daughter would not eat so she was left with no veggie to accompany her meal. Meats were bacon and a ham and cheese sandwich.

Outstanding! Fantastic service and food! We went to finally try their famous bufffet and were surprised that you pick up your food in the kitchen. That is awesome! It feels like you are an intimate special guest of theirs who is invited to the kitchen. I loved it! And you can chat with the cooks who are preparing the foods. Highly recommend this restaurant for dinner, lunch, happy hour and specially brunch!

I really believe Local Three was on top of the pile as a destination location. It has slipped dramatically, last Friday night a group of four at 7:30pm dined and the Restaurant was empty. The food was adequate. I ordered a Chicken Pot Pie for~$26 and it was a pot filled with Chicken stew and some corn muffins on top.
Local Three you had better wake up! You have a lot of competition!!
