Loved my lunch...
...it would perfect for dinner, too!
Fresh lobster, cold or warm!
Wednesday is Lobster Roll Day. $25.00 for a choice of 3 types of Lobster Rolls and a side of fries! Great deal and great food!

Just returned from the city and wanted to grab a beer before heading home. My uncle recommended "The Local" right next to the train station. I appreciated the train station décor inside and the interesting variety of beers on tap. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. However, the place feels a bit sterile—it doesn't feel as comfortable or cozy as I'd hoped.

The Local is my favorite lunch spot on the island! I travel 30 minutes once or twice a month in the winter for the chicken pot pie. Hailey is a fantastic server, we always look forward to seeing her! Huge fans, and will always come back!

Went out for Thursday night dinner and drinks. We sat at the corner of the bar and was taken care of by the bartender Nick. Although he was very busy taking care of other customers, he was very attentive to us and made us feel like family at the bar. The food came out extremely fresh and hot. Nick was able to answer any questions we had about the food and drinks, and you can easily tell he has many years of experience behind the bar. I would definitely recommend The Local to anybody who would like great food and drinks in the Babylon Village area.

I’ve been a loyal customer of The Local for years, but after my visit tonight, I’m truly disappointed with how far this place has slipped.
We came for Monday night bingo, which was advertised from 7–9. It started late, and then abruptly ended around 8:15 when the staff suddenly switched over to blasting the football game. It felt disorganized and dismissive of the patrons who came specifically for bingo.
Service was another major letdown. Our waitress had a frown the entire time, was not attentive, and coughed every time we had to ask for something—basic items she should have anticipated, like extra plates when we shared an appetizer (there were four of us, she only brought two). The beers we ordered came overly foamy and only half-poured, requiring extra napkins, which she seemed annoyed to bring.
Then things went from bad to worse. The table next to us started yelling that they saw a mouse. They left immediately, and within moments, we saw the mouse too. Shockingly, no waitress or manager came over to address the situation or even acknowledge it. Instead, the bouncer was the only one to say something, apologizing with a shake of his head and admitting, “That’s not really something you’d want to see in a restaurant.”
What was supposed to be a fun night ended abruptly, leaving us disappointed and unsettled. Having frequented The Local many times in the past, it’s disheartening to see such a decline in both service and cleanliness. Unfortunately, tonight’s experience may have been my last visit.
