Local Foods – 2nd Street District in Austin, TX, offers a delightful experience for food lovers seeking fresh and health-conscious American cuisine. While some reviews highlight the restaurant's slightly upscale prices, patrons consistently agree that the generous portions justify the cost. Guests rave about the Crunchy Chicken Sandwich, which creatively incorporates potato chips for an unexpected crunch, while the Seafood Sandwich on a pretzel bun is equally lauded. The Bubby Salad, adorned with salmon and fresh garden ingredients, is a must-try for salad enthusiasts.

The warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by friendly service, makes it an ideal spot for both casual lunches and more relaxed dinners. The unique twist seen in dishes, like the pozole featuring pumpkin seeds and a soft egg, showcases the culinary creativity that sets Local Foods apart. Desserts, particularly the out-of-this-world vegan carrot cake and indulgent chocolate chip cookie, are perfect endings to any meal.

Whether you're dining in with friends or opting for a quick delivery, Local Foods always delivers delicious, locally sourced meals that nourish the body and delight the palate.

Don’t forget your check book I like to say. If you are looking for a great lunch spot that is also expensive I’d go here. They have nothing but health option that they are proud of. My go to is the crunchy sandwich also the seafood sandwich but ask for it on the pretzel bun it hits the spot. The chicken soup is so good and they will give it to you as a side with your lunch. The chocolate chip cookie and the vegan carrot cake out of this world.

It is definitely pricey, but the portions more than make up for it. If I could change the price setting on the review to be more like 20 per person I would but Google isn't giving me that option. I had the most interesting and delicious posole. I've never had a pozole with pumpkin seeds and an egg on top but I don't think I can have it any other way from now on.

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night while visiting Austin. It was busy, but was able to walk right up, order, and find a table. They give you a table number and deliver it when ready. Ordered the Bubby Salad and grabbed a Chocolate Fudge and Peanut Butter cookie at the counter. First floor was crowded, but there's upstairs seating towards the rear of the restaurant. Food was brought to table in about 10 minutes and looked great. Nice cut of Salmon served on top of Kale along with tomatoes, onions, croutons, sprouts and egg. Tasted like a fresh salad from a home garden. Cookie was a nice simple dessert afterwards. Good place to come for a fresh, healthy meal.

Note: This was a delivery order. The food was delicious! I wasn’t too hungry, so I ordered the Kids Crunchy Chicken Sandwich, and it totally hit the spot. I can’t wait to try more items from the menu! The “crunchy” part of the chicken isn’t traditional fried chicken—it’s actually potato chips inside the sandwich, which was fun. I got it with a side of pickles. The food here is locally sourced and fresh!

Love the fresh salads here!! The spring harvest has always been my go-to for lunch. Parking is a little tough downtown but the food is very worth it

Our food was delicious and our service was outstanding! We loved the vibe. We also love the parking validation! The music they play is really relaxing and unstressful. Their employees are very cheerful and welcoming.

This is a wonderful spot downtown that offers free parking! We got a sandwich and some spin dip and all were an explosion of flavor I love they give the choice of 2 mini sides for the sandwiches — variety people rejoice The potato salad and kale salad were perfect compliments to the crunchy chicken sandwich I’ll definitely add this to my rotating list of easy and fun date spots downtown
