Local Foods on Kirby quickly became my go-to when I moved to Houston a few years ago. I have loved basically everything I have gotten there. My favorite is the garden sammie with chicken… it’s maybe my favorite sandwich I’ve ever gotten. I get just as excited about their soups and sides as I do their sandwiches. You can even get a sandwich in salad form instead! Any person I’ve ever brought there has loved it too. Better yet, they have tons of options to accommodate food intolerances/allergies which helps me out a lot whole lot given I can’t eat dairy or eggs, and that normally limits me a lot. The service is always fantastic, and parking is so easy at this location. I avoid the Heights location just based on parking alone, but I have never had an issue at the Kirby location. Ordering online through the Toast app is a piece of cake too. I highly recommend!
Great place to lunch and enjoy good vibes with friends. It’s located in Upper Kirby and shares the parking lot with Soul Cycle. What I like best about this place is the wine selection. The food is good (healthy food can be hit or miss sometimes). The menu notes the items that are vegan, gluten free, nut free—so pay close attention to that. Sandwich items can be turned into salads. The menu items are eclectic in my option and at first blush you may be inclined to not try a thing so ask for recommendations. I’ve been here a few times and haven’t been disappointed. Today I tried the shrimp and crab sandwich on the gluten free sourdough bread. Sandwich was good—not overly flavorful but still satisfying. The bread didn’t taste much like sourdough but I have no complaints. The chicken soup is top notch. Safe are friendly and attentive. The indoor and outdoor seating are both vibes. The places doesn’t accept cash so be mindful of that.
I've been coming here for years and it's one of my favorite restaurants. Everything is fresh and flavorful. I've had a lot of dishes but my go to's are the Egg Salad Sandwich (on wheat because the pretzel bun does not agree with me) and the Taco Salad which by the way is vegan. My daughter was with me on this day and she ordered the Asian Salad with Tofu (subbed the chicken). They are very accommodating. The potato salad, kale salad, and chips are great sides. You really can't go wrong with anything here. Don't pass on dessert... chocolate chip cookies and carrot cupcake. The service and staff are great. Great ambiance with beautiful decor. Big outdoor space and dog friendly. Plenty of parking.
Always have a great time when we visit. We get the crunchy chicken and posole soup. Can't go wrong!
This place is nice, very chill, and spacious, the staffs are great as well. It's always a safe choice for me to go there. I like their salad a lot. It comes with a big bowl. I recommend the Asia Chicken Salad, that's a good one to start.
I recently stopped here for a late ⏰ lunch around 2:30 pm. I’ve seen this place slammed packed 🧑💼👩💼👨🏾💼 so I decided to stop. No line, So I proceeded with my order of a Braised Beef Sandwich 🥪 with 2 orders of chips. The lady had the same with Mushroom 🍄 Soup 🥣 to accompany her Sandwich 🥪. I must say this is one of the most delectable 😋, mouth 👄 watering 🤤 sandwiches I have eaten in my life. R-C RANCH WAGYU, BACON, FRIED EGG, DAIRYMAIDS' GORGONZOLA, CARAMELIZED ONIONS, WATERCRESS, AIOLI, JALAPENO BUN. Taste 👅 Just as Good 👍🏾 as it Sounds. Flavors you can Savor as long as the Bun does!
Tip( The Carrot Cake will make you want to shake your great great grandmother 👵)
The manager of this place should teach a class in hospitality- wow they know how to treat customers really well! The food was fantastic, it came out fast. Served excellent vegan food. Two workers told my daughter happy birthday and took time to speak with us. Super attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is gorgeous. Top notch place 10/10
Honestly a lovely experience, this establishment is very well managed. The ambiance is perfect for any afternoon, with a soft lighting and unique farmhouse style interior this is a great place for breakfast or lunch. The manager Robert is extremely kind and was so accommodating when I told him it was my birthday. Definitely coming back more often!!
The food is always fresh and delicious. So many interesting options. I had the Harvest Salad with chicken and it was amazing! Had to save room for my vegan carrot cake cupcake so I took some of my salad to go. Don't judge.... when I get the opportunity to have a good vegan dessert (that's not sorbet), I'm taking it!
What can I say other than I absolutely love this place. It is hard to find a restaurant that checks all the boxes when it comes to trying to eat healthier. Local has been able to help me in my health journey by having so many great healthier options. I really wish they had one in the woodlands I would go everyday.
I was so excited to try this place and it smells amazing. They have scratch made sandwiches that I was so excited to try. Got to the register and had a whole conversation with the employee about what sandwiches were the top seller and how to order so that I could get the soup and one side instead of two sides and because of a miscommunication I ended up only getting the soup :( However, the customer service was so on point! They fixed it and we’re just as kind and lovely as they could be.
So happy we stopped here and we will be back 100%
Great food and friendly service. They have chefs menu where options vary every day and permanent menu with plenty of great choices. It’s not cheap but the prices are fair considering the high quality of food and generous portions.
Locals food continues to be my favorite restaurant. The crunchy chicken sandwich always hits the spot!
This location has ample indoor AND outdoor seating, and there are fans in place to make sure you don't get too hot. This location also has pre-made bottled cocktails available for purchase. The lavender lemonade gin mix was delicious!

Placed a visit at Local Foods and it went smooth, specifically at this location. I enjoy their ambiance as one walks in, they are greeted by an endless selection of wines. I typically swing by on their down times which is great since there is minimal wait time. This time I decided to sit inside as the sun would not make a compromise with me, even with a cold brewskie. They do offer outside seating in their grand patio. Seating inside is splendid as they offer both, booths and tables. They also are extremely hygienic which is always a plus. Their menu selection is divine as they offer animal proteins, vegetarian options along with limited vegan options. My partner and I ordered the Garden Sammie, Quinoa Burger, and Vegan Taco Salad. The entrees were paired with the following sides: Vegan Squash & Quinoa, Texas Watermelon, Housemade Chips. Their Garden Sammie is filled with color variations due to the vegetables from within & with a Gluten Free Pita which is delicious & light. An immense matter to point out is the freshness of their vegetables. Their Quinoa Burger is significant in taste, texture, and appearance. I have not tasted a better Quinoa Burger in Houston. What makes it extra ordinary is that it’s created in house. The Vegan Taco Salad is a savory salad with Vegan Ground Meat with if I’m not mistaken, is created in house. A great selection of their salads. The sides were decent however, their Housemade chips require improvement as the taste is non existent. Their customer service is exquisite which is why I continue to return as it does not go unnoticed. I’ve visited other Local Foods locations and my experiences have not been the best which is why this is my to go to Local Foods location. To end of our meal, we decided to order a pastry from their small selection. We choose a Vegan Carrot Cupcake which caught us by surprise as it was heavenly. I’d recommend this Local Foods to anyone who wants to devour flavorsome food!
awesome spot for a quick lunch. good selection of food and drinks. can be packed sometimes but the lines go by fast and the food comes out fairly fast too. if you want healthy food or something filling with quality ingredients, choose this spot.
also they have other locations, and iv been to two others, always have a great experience, i like how the food quality is consistent.
Not your typical menu. But great flavors and seems pretty healthy. Vibe here is really cool too. Service was solid. Had gluten free options labeled clearly.
Such a thoughtful, interesting interior with little touches that surprise and delight!. For example, I love the art deco font on the bathroom doors! Salads have wonderful and creative ingredients like snap peas and pickled daikon.
