A Note from Chef Luke Hawke
The Local is about familiarity. This menu reflects family, roots and locale. When I write menus, I focus on what I've learned from family, what we do in the South, and other complexities that create a fun, interesting, and approachable establishment.
Chef-Driven. Everyday.
At The Local, great food starts with great ingredients. From early mornings to midday meals, our menu highlights quality cuts, crisp veggies, fresh breads, and house-made spreads made to complement every bite. Nothing flashy, just well-crafted, flavorful food made with care. From breakfast favorites to chef-crafted sandwiches and in-house sides, the focus is on creativity, freshness, and the kind of everyday eating that feels real, welcoming, and satisfying.
