The Local - Restaurant in Muskego - W191S6409 S Hillendale Dr, USA

Top notch experience. First time eating here and definitely not the last. Stopped in on a Friday and had a 30-minute expected wait before seating. Turned out to be about 20. Time for a round at the bar. Not unexpected and not bad for a Friday in Wisconsin. Same owners here as the Hale House, I believe, so we expected the food to be good and were not disappointed. Oddly, none of us had the fish fry (which looked good as they went by), but the short rib melt, the crispy chicken sandwich and my wine-o burger were all delicious and polished off in short order. All the staff here were superb. Attentive but not overbearing and with a great sense of humor. Beer selection was decent and prices were fair. Parking was dicey. Looks like it could get full at peak times. Was very busy the whole time we were there but it felt like they were used to it and coped well. If you're anywhere in the area and looking for a great place to eat, look no further. Highly recommended.

One of the best burgers I've ever had. They are open late and serve food late, which is nice. Really cool atmosphere and the employees always seem happy. So much that they hang out there in there free time. I've ordered take out and been out in 10 minutes and I've rented a bar stool for more then 6 hours. I've taken my elderly relatives, co workers and party animal friends here on many occasions and they all have loved it. It is truly my local go to spot. Also Kelly is a awesome bartender. She always remembers us and keeps us coming back.

Great restaurant! At first, I thought I was lost because the location of the restaurant is in a residential area. The food was very tasty and the service was above and beyond. This is a friendly environment and great to watch sports too! They had several flatscreen tv’s throughout the restaurant / bar area.

Phenomenal place off the beaten path. Burgers are the best I've had in a long time. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Cool vibe inside. I look forward to coming back and trying more of their delicious food. The entire menu is a foodie's delight!!!!

Second visit to The Local good as the first. Great food good service lots of beer. Smash burgers are some of the best you can find. Juicy, seasoned and delicious! Crab Rangoon pizza was full of unique flavors. Good hot chicken sandwich. Not the biggest seating area so waits are possible during peak hours.

Great food, great service. Atmosphere - well, it's a smaller place and when full, it gets a bit loud. Parking is also limited, though we drove a block south and parked at Mill Valley School. The nachos were big and tasty- and the Bang Bang Shrimp apps had a nice kick. I had the Wine-O Burger, with red wine braised mushrooms, aoli, onions and fries. The food is very good, service is friendly and courteous. I suggest you go for lunch- might be less crowded, easier to share conversations. The drinks are all well-made too!

We tried The Local on a whim. It's a really cute, clean place. Our waitress was friendly and had some great suggestions. The food was delicious. I was impressed and we will be back!

Today was my wife and I's first time giving The Local a try. We were NOT disappointed! In fact, we were smiling the entire time. We loved how they had the place decorated. Even the board they use to give you the check was a nice little touch. Just a great atmosphere altogether. Tasia was our waitress and she is absolutely amazing at her job. Super friendly and amazing to everyone equally. Service was beyond expectations. Compliments to the chef and the person(s) who thought up this menu! The cheese curds are the best I have ever had. They have a ranch and chipotle ranch sauce that they make. If you aren't a fan of Ranch, try this one. You might just become a fan because it was spectacular! If you leave this place still hungry, that's because you overeat, which is very very unhealthy. ;) I tried the Reuben sandwich and decided to get a side salad instead of fries. Why is the side salad even impressive and so incredibly delicious?! They are not shy with their proportions either! perfect pile of meat, sauerkraut and sauce! If you haven't tried this place, do it. You won't be disappointed (unless you are an unhappy person...then, nothing will make you happy anyway so you should probably stay away and not ruin the good vibes).
