Where Huntsville Comes for Lunch
Welcome to The Local — your neighborhood lunch spot in downtown Huntsville. Handcrafted sandwiches, fresh salads, and that signature Mercado creativity — all made right here in the Rocket City.
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."
Cafe & Deli
At The Local, great food starts with great ingredients. Our sandwiches are layered with quality cuts, crisp veggies, fresh breads and house-made spreads that actually taste like something. Nothing over the top — just solid, flavorful food made with care. From our chef-crafted take on sandwiches to the sides we make in-house, the menu is built on creativity, freshness and the kind of everyday eating that feels real, welcoming and downright satisfying.
