I just want to say that Paige and Kellen were the most absolutely amazing people I've ever met. Their customer service was impeccable and their bright faces and big smiles made this my first and. Best experience ever. Thank you so much for your patience and amazing energy. You 2 as well as the rest of the staff killed it tonight! Words cannot express how impressed and appreciative I am that I came here tonight! You ALL need a raise because every single person that worked tonight was an absolute Rockstar! Great job guys! Thank you!
My Mom and I came here for a birthday getaway weekend and decided to get dinner here. BEST CHOICE. We had Jill as a server and she was so kind and made this dining experience special. She knows her stuff and the menu. Every person who helped us (brought food over, cleaned a plate, brought a beverage) they all were kind and welcoming. Would come back here for special occasions... or for any meal. The service and food were amazing. Also Jill, that peanut butter dessert was out of this world! - K&S (Mother Daughter Duo)
What a great time the 5 of us had! The food was delicious. We had the fish tacos, the pasta and the burgers. They were all delicious! We started with some tasty fun cocktails and the edamame and shrimp dumplings that were unique and delicious and finished the meal off with the scrumptious peanut butter chocolate dessert! I thought it was odd they only offered one choice of dessert but they don’t need to offer more this one was a must have. To top it all off was our server, Anastasia was professional, fun, knowledgeable and attentive. She made the experience perfect. P.S. they have great Happy Hour too
Our server Justice was perfect. Justice came to our table several times just to check up on us. When we halfway through our meal, the chef came out and asked if there was anything that would make the meal better or if we had any comments about the meal. I did tell him that I did not care for the batter that was on the fish, but the fish was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was just perfect. I had a two piece fishing chips. My. My wife and I shared the crunchy chicken. It was nice and crunchy, and the chicken was cooked just right.
the outdoor patio is amazing - what a beautiful setting… and the restaurant/bar is also fantastic….overall a beautiful place to eat- staff were all friendly and provided good service - u can tell they have been well trained. Food was very good - had the 2 for 1 smash burger.
Went here after some wineries and the staff were very friendly and the food was out very fast. I ordered a Caesar and the blackened chicken curry rice bowl, both were delicious! There is lots to choose from if you have dietary restrictions, and even more to choose from if you don’t!
We were in town from Ladner for a big dance competition, and staying at the Ramada. The location of Local was so convenient for us, and we decided to try it out. The patio was amazing, inside was comfortable and had TVs all over which was nice for sports highlights! The pop was free refills, which was nice for the kids. (No kids past 10pm I think?, which is fair!) The patio was so beautiful, the group of us that wanted sun got to enjoy the sun and the shade was Available also, with their huge umbrellas. My daughter and I ate here twice. The 1st time I ordered the spicy garlic Edamame, I ate it, but did not like the sauce taste very much, it tasted more like BBQ sauce then spicy garlic! I would not order that again!!! The next time I ordered the Calabrian Ceasar Salad. I love it, super good! Would definitely recommend and eat that again. You have to like a little spice and eating it with a knife and fork, the lettuce comes whole. Very fresh and delicious. My daughter had LPE Greens with Blackened chicken. She loved it! She's gluten and dairy free so this was a great option for her! We shared the Beat hummus. We liked that also and would order it again. We will likely be back when we come to town again! Thank you!
Come check out this new place!! Fantastic new vibe for the area. Seen the construction here for the past few weeks and was looking forward to checking this out. Came opening day and was not disappointed. Warm atmosphere with some great music, and great food. Staff were very courteous and service was fast. We had some wings to start and tried 2 different pizzas. Both menu items were excellent. Looks like there are plenty of options on tap, as well as some wines and ciders. Will come back and hang out here.
We love your place but your happy hour wine is the worst wine we have ever tasted.Do you think you can improve and get in rascal like your other restaurants have.We would go more often if you did.Thks Parking: Its great.
Overall fun place but where we were seated the piped in music was very loud making it hard to have a conversation.
Great food. Good service Food : 5/5
Nice lunch spot!
Walked there for it to be closed early
Excellent servers.
Great fish taco s
Have the ramen, not bad at all
Sophia was so funny and fabulous!
Wonderful place to go! Service is great. Food is delicious. Pizzas are surprisingly delicious
Service excellent, and food was amazing. Definitely eating there again!! Food
Great place to have a beer before vees game. Not sure how the food is but the nachos are below average.
I cant review the food because we were ignored for 22 minutes without even getting a glass of water after being seated. The guy who sat us watched us leave and said nothing. The restaurant was far from busy. Pretty disappointing.
It must ve been bring your own seasoning night as everything was in dire need of it. Had a deluxe burger and appreciated that it wasn t pre-fab, but under seasoned and lacklustre. Others had Diablo burger that packed zero heat and also under-seasoned with Caesar salad (no panko - maybe that s where the flavour was?). The upside was the wings - they were awesome. Would recommend the truffle ranch. **UPDATE** Went back for a second try and once again the staff were great. While the beef burger and Caesar salad still need seasoning, I really enjoyed the crispy chicken burger and did recommend the wings with truffle ranch to the neighbouring table. Upgraded the review from 2 to 4 stars for the sum of the two experiences. Dietary restrictions: Burgers offer protein style aka lettuce wrap for 2 of 3 orders
Good food and service
Excellent food for a chain restaurant
Dined here twice in the last 3 days. The food is awesome, also the best eggs Benny in town. Crispy potatoes with the Benny are soooo delicious. Great burger as well. Local is a great pub. Food
we came in on a long weekend monday, lots of restaurants were closed so it s no surprise that it was very busy. the host was lovely and it took a bit of time for our server to greet us and take our order. the first half of our visit we felt a bit neglected but our server obviously noticed and ended up taking care of our drinks and was very lovely. we were impressed at how quickly she turned our experience into a good one. we would return anyway since this is one of our fave spots in town, but we felt very taken care of by the end and left happy. great food great drinks great prices!
The staff here were amazing. The food was excellent. I would totally recommend.
It was decent, service was prompt, the atmosphere is very trendy and fun, the food is good but the portions are small and the prices are high. Typical for a trendy new place and the way the world is going. The drink options for all are, drinkers and non drinkers is vast which is nice but again fairly pricy however very delicious. Not my first go to but will still be back.
Golf here every time I visit!
We have been twice and both times it s been excellent! Must try the Brooklyn burger
Had a reservation for 8 on the patio last night. Our server was amazing, unfortunately I didn t get her name. She dealt with allergies at our table really well. Drinks and food came out super fast as well! Definitely the best service we received in Penticton on our week vacation!
We lucked out and got the 2-for-$20 deal on the Local burger; I think it s available every long weekend. It was excellent. Even without the deal, prices are reasonable compared to many places around town. Our server was super friendly, and service was fast. Would definitely return! Kid-friendliness: They offer a limited kids menu.
Great food and drinks. Super friendly staff. Ive been back several times. The food is always good and reasonably priced and my server, McKenna was great. Food
2 for 1 burgers and great staff!
I forget our servers name, she was a small blonde woman, but she was phenomenal. She was super personable, great knowledge with the menu and when we stumped her with a question (specifically about sticky rice being in a drink), she found out right away. The patio at this local is incredible which made for a fantastic experience. I m not from Penticton, however, if I was, this restaurant would become a consistent visit for me! Thank you to our server for the amazing lunch experience and kuddos to the location for making it an amazing patio atmosphere!
Above and beyond is what the staff gave. The kitchen smashed out great food and fast. This place is what a pub should be. A real gem. Food
Great staff was really impressed!
The food is extremely tasty & the staff is super friendly . I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who lives in Penticton or is visiting Penticton. You will not regret the experience. Enjoy
I gave 2 star just for great enviroments and cool staff but the food is not worth than the money you pay. Paid 30$ for disaster pitza and my wife burger wasnot even close to the decent burger so highly recommend to not try this place.
Service was good. Nice enough atmosphere but they changed it from prior restaurant which had a better outside set up. However you go to to a restaurant for food which was disappointing. Small portions, poor quality, and very fast food type tastes. Appears they are trying to keep prices reasonable but the small portions and the quality sacrifices are too much. Would be nice to see these folks make a go of it, but changes are in order.
Hi there - came in for burger and a beer on a sunny Saturday afternoon. The food was great and service even better!!! Portions were great and served hot!! Would 100% recommend
Food is OK, its nothing special. Service is so so. They are busy on the patio so if you are sitting inside expect slow Service
The food was Fantastic. The service speed was impressive. All three servers went above and beyond. Seriously some of the best service I ve ever experienced. Very friendly, relatable, and just a joy to be around.
Expensive Gross food not worth your money at 30 above plates of food
Very happy they rennovated the place and got rid of the previous decor. It is much more inviting, more open (they removed the centre planter island to open it right up) and warm, while still being modern looking up-to-date and current styling. All the wood just makes the place look fantastic. Opening it up and removing all the clutter also made a huge difference and it is so much better! The new patio is absolutely wonderful. The new outdoor layout and furniture are more functional (the new chairs are easier to move around than those old, huge heavy iron chairs), and more people can sit out there now. There are more umbrellas, thanks! Love the pathways! Misters might be a nice idea (didnt see any so not sure if they have them or not). Not sure if I am a huge fan of only literally only 1 bathroom for the entire bar. When it gets crowded, that could become an issue. The food was delicious! Back to what it used to be - Good food in a great pub atmoshere. Servers were fantastic! Thank you so much! It may have a new name, but we still love the KVR Pub, no matter what you call it, and thank you for bringing it back, we will now return!!!
Food was horrible, service was near the same. Wings were very pink and red and my medium rare premium steak was purple. Service took forever with many apologies from the servers ( not ours )
Asked for a plain cheese burger, got onions and condiments on it, fries were cold, and $20 for this sad portion of wings
Amazing choice and great food always! Lively vibe and great friendly service
100/10 service, would recommend! Fully loaded potatoes are to die for Food
If you havent been well you need to great place even better people working it..
Best service. To two senior ladies. Mother 93 years young. Who loved service Ronin was excellent.
Rare that I give a restaurant five stars, but I have gone twice now and both times the service was spot on and the food was excellent.
Our server Harleen was SO lovely and very helpful with catering to my dietary needs/questions - she was super attentive and extremely kind with her serve. The food was tasty, good portions and the happy hour prices are awesome! We will definitely be back! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free deep frier!
Fries are the best atmosphere is great and entertainment is fine
Anne was a very fun and engaging server ! We were here for happy hour and everything was great - especially dessert ! Food
My husband and I came across this little pub while on our walk. What a great surprise. Amazing patio with great service. We enjoy the happy hour and love the lager beer and wings. Our server Justice is great! We have definitely found our new favorite place. Would highly recommend.
Nice local spot for lunch!
We had a great meal and Christina our server was awesome! She was so helpful and the service was fabulous So friendly and accommodating. Well done Christina
Fantastic eatery. Great food, fast and cordial service . The LOCAL BURGER is my favorite! Food
The LPE in Penticton is a must visit, the food, service and atmosphere is top notch - with a welcoming and genuinely friendly staff. I had the shrimp dumplings and market salad - absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this place, oh and they have brunch too! I sat at the bar and had a wonderful experience with all the staff members acknowledging me. Keep up the great work in delivering excellent hospitality.
The best wings I ve had in years! No excessive breading, just crispy and juicy. Service is always great, even when they are busy. Food
Great food and staff make this a must try if you are a local or visiting from out of town. They are also the original stone pizza oven restaurant in penticton, never a disappointment whatever youre craving! Keep up the good work folks!
Great food and awesome service!
Spent the weekend in Penticton for a Hockey Tournament and surprisingly stumbled upon this amazing restaurant. The staff and management were amazing and accommodated our hockey teams plus families on the fly. The food was incredible and came out so quickly. This is the place to go for big groups, family meals and the happy hour prices are insane. What an amazing experience we had and I can t wait to visit Penticton again to go to Local Public Eatery and see the servers again. What an incredibly amazing weekend this was! The best service and food I ve had in a long time with a restaurant. Thank you Local Public Eatery!
Fish & chips had the worst fish I have ever eaten, didn t even look like fish
Girls night out and they were all basically finishing their meals before mine came to the table. The server apologized and did take it off my bill but honestly the burger and fries werent worth the wait. It was so loud that we could barely hear each other and the music selection was....interesting.
Great place for the food andrinks awesome atmosphere
We just had the most amazing service at LPE! We came in with a group of over 10 people and they went out of their way to quickly accommodate us. Brooke was a FANTASTIC waitress, very attentive, friendly and always anticipating our needs ahead of us even asking. The food was super delicious (I got the avocado eggs benny) Yum! I HIGHLY recommend them and will be back again next time we re in Penticton!
Was there for the hockey game and the place was packed. The food came out in good time and was so good. The service was excellent.
Great place Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options Food : 5/5 |
Our server was Chloe and she was excellent! She was personable, prompt and attentive. Food was amazing as always. The staff are all great!
This is my husband and Is new favorite restaurant in Penticton. Weve tried quite a few different menu items and so far have loved them all. The caeser salad, chicken burger and fried chicken Appy with the honey hot sauce have been our favorites so far. The mocktails are also delicious. Its so nice to finally have another really consistent, good option in Penticton. They were also really kid friendly!
Went for lunch with a friend. Found the Rotunda to be very noisy. Had the fried chicken which was mostly coating and very little chicken. At 18.95 was way over priced even with the cost of meat .
Fantastic food, service and atmosphere
Took our mom here to celebrate her birthday. Service was incredible and we loved the atmosphere. Food was out of this world delicious
Food and service was great! Best caesar salad that Ive ever had! It had a great spicy kick. Ordered a classic Ceasar to drink came with no food so I asked for a pickle and the server said that it didnt come with one but you can have one. So I said yes please. When my bill came my one slice of pickle cost me 3 dollars!!! REALLY? I would of appreciated if I was told that my pickle would cost me 3 dollars. Why is a slice of pickled dollars?
Amazing food, staff and atmosphere. I ve already tried many dishes and the flavours have been outstanding. What a great addition to Penticton.
Casual atmosphere with great service and a good happy hour menu
Wow! My girlfriend and I just had lunch at locals and we were blown away with how good the food/service was! The Local Burger is arguably the best in town and one of the managers Kiki was extremely friendly and welcoming and was of great assistance when there was a slight hiccup in our orders. Can t wait to go back and enjoy another delicious meal! Would highly recommend to anyone who likes tasty varied food.
Went for a late lunch. Both my friend and I had the deluxe burger, which was sloppy and delicious. Server was great and helped with food selection. I had a glass of mystery red, which was very good. I had fries, but will try the onion rings on my next visit as they looked fabulous. A little noisy when it got busy. Looks like there will be a nice patio when the weather gets warmer.
5 of us went on Friday night. Music was soo loud the waitress had trouble taking our order. I asked for Mushrooms on my burger and got mustard. No big deal. My burger was a bit pink but ok, our friends burger was VERY pink and he got sick. 2 average burgers and 4 beers should not cost $100. First and last time.
Enjoyed a lovely dinner served by amazing staff . Rose thank you so much for your energy , beautiful smile and professionalism. Looking forward to returning soon. Food : 4/5
My friends and i went in yesterday. Had the guava margarita, espresso martini and edamame for snack, it was all absolutely delicious. Our server ty was great as well. He was very friendly and attentive. Best service we had at the local.
They have the record right now for most expensive pint of beer in penticton at 10.25 and that s for their house lager, craft beer is even more. $80 for 2 beers, 2 average burgers and small amount of fries. I do like the younger crowd they are trying to attract with hip music though. Service was good.
Vegetarian options: Yes the Beet Hummus was delicious! Dietary restrictions: Were very knowledgeable about all menu items we asked about. Parking: Tons of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Great food and service! Will be a place I will return to everytime I visit Penticton. The Manager Britt went above and beyond to make dinning experience enjoyable!
