This was our first time at Local 3. The service was great. We did brunch and did not realize it was a buffet thru the kitchen. They had great breakfast and lunch options and no kids menu but our kids found something to enjoy. It was a quick easy new year day brunch.

We went to Old Vinings Inn for Christmas Eve dinner. Our table was ready on time. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. We ordered a variety of main courses - prime rib, short ribs, crab cakes, and my personal favorite, the fried chicken, which was absolutely the best, using the chef's special recipe. Old Vinings Inn continues to be one of our go-to places.

Love this location! Lots of parking, spacious and the staff was very accommodating. We celebrated a birthday and they made everything extra special including a personalized greeting on the printed menu, a nice photo to commemorate the special day and a birthday dessert. I also wanted to thank the kitchen and wait staff for accommodating a nut allergy. Reservations were super easy and the hostess seated us right away. And the food? Topnotch of course. Our waitress' recommendations were spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
