The Local - Clovis (CA)

2 /5 N RDBS: Sunday Brunch Review Only: This is my review on The Locals Sunday Brunch. We arrived early for our reservation at 10:15 a.m., we were the first customers. They had the food out in food warmers (see photos). The food was cold by the time I finished getting everything plated and back to the table. The eggs seemed like fake eggs, the bacon was cold and chewy as was the tri-tip. The tri-tip was also fatty. The crepe pancake was good with syrup. They had three salads, one being a fruit salad with mostly melon. They only had ranch and balsamic dressings for the two salads. We ordered the bottomless mimosas, but were barely able to finish the first one they brought to us. It was super disappointing; we spent less than 40 minutes at the restaurant and over $100 for a nasty brunch. For the price the food needs to be better. The service was fine but we were the only customers there for the first 30 minutes.

5 /5 Juan Espinoza: Went with a group of family and had to wait for the food so we started with drinks. Our host was very friendly, and had a good knowledge of the wine and the mixed drinks, and recommended a few things which we were pleasantly surprised. We went with the cheese and meat board first and it was pretty good. Different plates and the skirt steak with green sauce was well made. Overall a really nice place with a great vibe and decent tasteful food. Recommend

5 /5 bryan iriye: The Local has officially set the bar for dining in the Central Valley. I’ve visited several times now, and they never fail to impress. Why it’s a must-visit: • Superior Service: From the moment you walk through the door, youre treated like family. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely seems happy to be there. It’s rare to find this level of hospitality where every detail is anticipated before you even have to ask. • The Bread Pudding: You cannot leave without trying this. I’ll go out on a limb and say it is comfortably the best Bread Pudding in the Central Valley. It’s perfectly decadent—warm, rich, and has that ideal balance of texture that most places miss. It is worth the trip alone! • Atmosphere: The vibe is welcoming and polished, making it perfect for both a casual weeknight dinner or a special celebration. If you’re looking for high-quality food paired with service that actually makes you feel valued, do yourself a favor and head to The Local. Just make sure you save room for dessert!

1 /5 Richard Abirached: We have eaten there many times. The food is good. We were there with a group of 6 celebrating a birthday. My wife has a severe food allergy which is always clearly disclosed. They mistakenly gave my wife contaminated food. She immediately got sick. Accidents can happen. The part that still bothers me is the lack of customer care and concern. We didn’t finish our meal for obvious reasons. The chef came out and apologized. Nothing was discounted on the bill. We were ok with it because he promised to do a make up meal to make things right. He asked for my number and said he would call in a few days to make arrangements. I thought that was nice. The problem is he NEVER CALLED or made good on his word. This happened a few months ago. We have never gone back. Bad business. Take care of your customers.

5 /5 louise mccreary: We just had a birthday recently with 34 people. It was a great atmosphere, food was awesome and the service ,especially Dani, was above great. Thank you Local for giving my husband and friends and family a wonderful time. We will eat there again for sure.
