Great oldies music and people watching. The Calamari, Bulgogi and Mushroom soup were delicious. Our server was attentive and friendly contrary to other posts on here. We recommend it!

If you're looking for tulsi, maca, fancy salts and coconut oil, you're barking up the wrong tree. Lokal has a delightful juice bar menu with combinations that predate the juicing-as-a-trend era.

The Huevos Rancheros are no joke. Lots of outdoor seating in the warmer months. Smoothies are a great start to brunch!

Great place, everyone is very friendly and the food is great. Nice outdoor tables. Try the apple risotto or the avocado sandwich

Great if you enjoy dirty hipsters glaring at you for bringing a child. They have hi chairs tho so there's that.

Bloody Mary's are great! I see a lot of tips regarding the wait for food, but I've never had a problem.

Free "check-in" beer is from a SELECTED list. I ordered a Chimay (at the direction of our ill-informed server) and ended up having to pay for it. Otherwise, a chill place for brunch.

In my experiences here, the food has been kind of bland, but the atmosphere is great for a nice day: open doors and outside seating.

They have bread pudding! And it doesn't have any raisins!

Have a glass of port with your chocolate souffle and you will be very happy

The organic chicken sandwich with dried tomatoes on ciabatta bread is great.

If you think it's a good idea to skip the wait at Five Leaves and come to Lokal, stop. It's not worth it. Turn around back across the street.

Fantastic brunch. The brioche French toast and steak salad are both decidedly awesome.

The Bloody Mary and the people watching make this a perfect spot on a warm afternoon.

Good brunch! Nice to seat outside during the spring. The service is very slow though.

There must be a new person in the kitchen and I'm going to assume he loves salt. It's a shame lokal was a fave
Jillian DresserFebruary 20, 2012
If you like service from people that seem baked out of their mind, this is the place. Food is good.
Nate FolkertOctober 18, 2011
This chicken penne dish is tasty and healthful!
Angie GannonFebruary 20, 2011
Steak sandwich was yummy, and it was an awesome bonus that we got a free drink with our check-in!
BettyApril 14, 2013
Tryyyyy the coffee steak. Just do it.
Koby TelyasSeptember 19, 2010
Nice atmosphere ... The food isn't that great and we were waiting more than an hour on Sunday for the food to be served. Worth to try :)
Dan FinleyJune 22, 2011
Free wine special = good deal. Nice spot on a warm day.
A GJune 17, 2012
There's a reason people brave 2hr. waits at Five Leaves rather than walk 30ft to this place. I believe "Lokal" is Polish for "umitigated shitshow." Avoid unless you want to make your hangover worse.
Marc GAugust 17, 2014
Good for a drink outside but that's it
Zbigniew RokoszNovember 22, 2011
Great music, getting a late night craving dessert for a hungry friend of mine

Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon is quite superb.

The chicken enchiladas on special were amazing.

Not the best service. Not the best food. Small portions and smaller wine glasses. Want good food? Keep walking.
Amanda GDecember 18, 2010
brunch service is quick and the orange juice is fresh!

One of the few places around town where you can get real orange juice.
