So I read the reviews before going and think I have figured out why people doubt the handmade patties claim… the patty doesn’t taste like it has any seasoning at all to the mix no salt nothing all the seasoning is strong but external with a bland center. Also have you thought of adding “tobacco onions” to the options for burgers and sammiches? So tastey and elevates Tater tots were cooked perfectly! Great atmosphere. Burger was cooked how I wanted but bland center. The waitress did forget the bacon but that happens I wasn’t bothered

The atmosphere was like a sports bar. The service was friendly and welcoming. We visited for a quick bite and the food was good. I did enjoy my drink. There was a live band playing country music. I would visit again but I would probably order bar food.

Another great local restaurant found in Leland! Their food is to die for! We had fried mushrooms and onion rings as appetizers and I can honestly say we have never had better! Our server held our entree order until we were ready without being asked. Don't you hate it when the food comes too soon? Great job, peeps! Then, the burgers were fantastic! Im so thankful we came hungry, but we still brought home leftovers. I also noticed just about everyone leaves with leftovers. Their portion sizes satisfy the biggest eaters. Eat at the Locals Tavern because I promise you won't be disappointed.

Had a great Valentines Day visit. Food was great. Music, once the band got the vocals volume worked out was great. Only negative, the dance floor was very small. Think about it, if more people had room to dance, they would stay longer and order more drinks and food.

Sometimes you get good service, sometimes you get none. You'll sit at a dirty table 95% of the time. The food is pretty good, the onion rings sometimes come out freezing cold, but they always come out extremely greasy. The fried mushrooms are always consistent, The burgers are good. The chicken is plentiful and the best server they have is the bartender named Andre. Everybody else is kind of sometimes here, Sometimes there sometimes just sitting at the bar and ignoring the customers.. You can wait 30-44 minutes to get a refill, an order in or your bill. So if you're coming here to try and get a meal that's less than 2 hours- don't. The BLT is good, not big on the prime rib sandwich or the Philly cheesesteak. The meat is a bit tough on those.

Our Brunswick Black & Gold group goes here for 1pm Steelers games. The staff is amazing and we always feel so well taken care of. The food is good and there are a lot of options. We always start off with pretzel bites which are really good. We have enjoyed the burgers, salads, sandwiches. Beer, wine & full bar. Several tv's throughout to watch the games. New area opened up with relaxing couches & chairs and high tops tables and when busy they open up the 2nd bar area. Locals is really a fun place for locals, music, karaoke, football games, Friday prime rib night (one of the best we have had) and they even let us set up a food drive one Sunday. Great crew!!

2nd time ordering to-go. Both times, the wings were delicious, great sized, flavorful, for the price. Love the southwestern eggrolls. The sauce is delicious! Estimate given on time is accurate. Our favorite local to-go spot since we’re not bar people. Inside is nice though- we just don’t drink.
