Westside Local was terrific! I loved the brick walls, the food was excellent (I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup). For dessert we shared the special of the day which was a cornbread, blackberry, honey cake! It was phenomenal!! We will go back!

Love the food! Love the neighborhood! It's so handy for when I have tickets to the Kauffman and can drive right down the hill to the parking garage.

This was our first visit. All 4 of us enjoyed our meals. Our server was friendly and efficient especially with it being brunch on Mother’s Day! Will return to try happy hour &/or dinner.
