Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Local 22 Kitchen and Bar consistently delights with "great food," "fantastic service," and a "lively atmosphere." Patrons rave about its diverse menu, accommodating both meat lovers and vegans. The "beet salad with salmon" and "wild mushroom pizza" are standout dishes. Indoor and outdoor seating enhance the dining experience, though parking can be challenging.

    First time for late dinner...fun, lively spot busy at 8:30 pm on a Sunday night. Spinach & Artichoke dip was very good with generous toasted pita bread. Beet salad was fresh and delicious. Burgers (beef with pimento cheese and lamb with goat cheese) were generous and tasty; tater tot side was just so-so. One concern...the burgers were delivered before the salad (??) and when we asked the server he was unaware and not particularly apologetic...kitchen miss queue but his responsibility. Other than that snafu, his service was friendly and he was quick to offer refills on the iced teas. Would return on the basis of the food...especially the dip and salad.

    First time visiting local 22 and really enjoyed the food, service, and people there. My only negative is there were cob webs and dust on the lighting fixtures above us so cleanliness could be improved. Otherwise food was fresh, hot, and server was kind..will be back if in the area.

    I usually love this place, but the experience we had last night makes me reconsider going there if not sitting at the bar. After sitting down for over 10 minutes we had not see our server, though I tried to make eye contact with every employee that walked past our table. The gentleman that seated us was also standing nearby, so after a while we got his attention. He took our drink orders and said he’d send the server by. 10/15 minutes later, drinks arrive. Our server never checked back on us anytime after dropping food/drinks off, we had to flag her down each time. Subpar service happens yes, but I don’t think it’s acceptable at a restaurant with food stems at this price point. Especially if a tab comes well over $100 and there is an expectation to tip 20% for service that was than mediocre.

    Nicole was a perfect waitperson! She was very attentive and allowed us time to socialize before ordering. The pecan pie bread pudding was 10/10!

    We have really enjoyed coming in the Spring or Summer but if you can't eat outside, it is way too noisy inside to even try and carry on a conversation. Also the music is Always way too loud!
