Reviews Local Eatery And Grill

Food was so good and so hot and fresh. I ordered the Hoosier Daddy and it took me right back to my childhood in Indiana and my uncle who use to make them for me. We will definitely be back again and next time I’m going to sit out on the patio which looked like it has a great view. Thank you Kelly who was our server for a great late lunch and great service!

Very surprised by this place (in a good way)! Super friendly service - the cheese curds were very good and tasted exactly like bite sized cheese sticks. Definitely get them as your appetizer. As my main meal, I got the rainbow trout, which would’ve been better if it didn’t have almonds… it was too crunchy to me. The sweet potato fries and Mac n Cheese was excellent. We will definitely be back!

Went to hear the Rainmakers band play and found the food here is awesome! Brought other friends twice so far. Enjoyed the catfish, fried okra, greens, but the brisket and smoked wings are my favorite so far! Full bar, and great menu. Music on Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays:)

This place was SO GREAT!! It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's so good. We order lots of stuff and really liked everything! This little place needs to go show Holston's Kitchen how it's done because I sent one of their appetizers back there it was so awful. Local Eatery was far superior. I had the Fried Chicken and Gravy, the chicken was fried so good and season excellent. My husband had the Chicken Parm & Buffalo wings and he loved them both. My mother in law had the Grilled chicken and Rice and she loved their rice which is rare for her. We also order the fried pickels and green beans and loved them. The only things I didn't like was the Mac & Cheese and The Mashed Potatoes. ( I don't like skins or red potatoes) but my husband and mother in law liked the Mac & Cheese. Their ranch is also good. Our server was great! Her name was Leslie, and we called her the One man show ( In a good way) she was doing all the tables and the bar all alone. She was great and kept our drinks filled. Be sure to ask for her! I'd also like to add that we aren't local and have tried multiple places the entire 4 days we have been here and this was The best place we have ate!! We will definitely be back next time we come from West Virginia !

The food was excellent. The service was slow. There were only a couple of servers. Everyone was very friendly.

Oh my goodness! What a gem of a find! Four of us ate lunch and everyone liked it! I had the Hoosier Daddy (being from Indiana I had to try it), which was the biggest fried pork tenderloin sandwich I've ever seen - and it was yummy, too! Husband had fish sandwich, others had a burger and a fried bologna sandwich. A fun little place, too. Can't wait to bring the HOG club here for a lunch ride!

We ate here while on vacation from Louisiana. We wanted to get away from the craziness of Pigeon Forge and found this nice out-of-the-way spot. Seemed like mostly local folks "Local Eatery...😉" and that's the way we wanted it. BBQ was fantastic! Band was pretty loud (maybe we're too old!), but other than that, it was great! We will return next time we are in the area.

A fantastic place with great food and service! First time visiting but will definitely be back!! Will highly recommend it to my friends to try. The loaded potato soup was absolutely to die for ❤️

After driving past this place several times a week and always seeing a full parking lot, decided to give it a try. Definitely a must for people looking for good food, at a good price, in a nice, calm, local pub environment. Despite being obviously short staffed. I was still greeted and sat at shoot 5 minutes. Matt the bartender was my server, and he was on top of that whole bar plus the surrounding tables with what appeared to be complete calm and efficiency. He was just excellent! I ordered the fried cheese curds and was expecting a cup, and 5 minutes after ordering, out comes this piping hot huge mound of very crispy, not greasy, yummy most and gooey cheese curds. Oh my goodness so good! I ordered the trout almondine, and it came out about 10 minutes after my salad. Timing was spot on and what a portion. Huge piece of trout and absolutely delicious. Cooked just right, moist and flaxy with a delicate crispy breaded coating. The almondine topping was scrumptious too. My only suggestion. The wild rice was very dry, tough, almost inedible so I didn't eat it. Their house salad was better I often get at higher end restaurants. Very good. All in all. I would recommend and will definitely be back. Update. Visited again on Sunday November 6th 2022. Today's visit was different. The hostess looked miserable, couldn't get a smile out of her. I was sat down at a high top and after 10 minutes I finally had to get up and go get my own menu, wasn't offered one by the hostess, and stood in the middle of the floor between my high top table and the bar with my menu hoping someone would notice that I had been sitting there 10 minutes and no one had said anything to me. I finally decided to speak up and ask do I need to come to the bar to order my food and one of the patrons told me no they will come to your table, which clearly wasn't happening. I look around and I see the reason no one has bothered to say anything to me is they are too busy talking to and hanging out with all the locals that frequent their establishment to pay any attention to the new guy who just showed up for dinner. Finally because I'm in the path of the bartender she notices me as she's trying to get back to the bar and I asked her can I order from you. She finally comes to my table and gets my order but I still don't get any water one of the bar patrons gets up and brings me a glass of water. My food arrives and I still haven't gotten any silverware which I had to get that from the person running the food. The food is good it's not excellent but it's definitely good but the service today was absent to say the least. I may not come here often but I am a local and anyone that walks into this establishment that's not a frequent visitor be prepared to basically not be acknowledged I guess and have to ask for service.
