A hidden gem within Tifton. Been to Tifton a few times for work and thought the town only had chain restaurants.

Been here a few times now, and I’ve had a great experience every time. Super friendly staff, who are knowledgeable about the menu. Good craft beer selection, and cocktail list is pretty interesting and well put together. Beer list could be much better laid out (include brewery, style, abv, serving size, and price). Great decor and atmosphere. The food is always great. I keep ordering the brussel sprouts, and probably will continue to order them. Everything else on the menu has also been great. I will say that it’s not the most vegetarian friendly, but I keep finding fun foods to try. Prices are fair, especially considering the quality.

My family and I had a WONDERFUL experience here tonight. I had the stuffed leg of lamb and it was absolutely delightful. My first time ever having leg of lamb and I hope it’s not my last. My partner had the fried chicken penne pasta, and words can’t describe the magnificent flavors in one pasta dish. Our server tonight was Madison and she made the experience flow so well as did Miss fabulous Jen. I’m very happy that I booked a reservation to do this a few weeks ago. A wonderful place like this is not somewhere you come to eat and dash this is a full experience and it takes time for quality food. So I recommend everyone to make a reservation and check them out sometime. Chef David really knows what flavors flow well together and can whip up a dish that’s incredible. No one in my group was disappointed at all and a lot of clean plates went back into that kitchen tonight. This place is definitely a treasure trove for a culinary experience compared to many in its area. The entire team there is incredible at what they do and genuinely care about their work and service. Thank you.

We had an excellant experience at The Local passing through Tifton, with a very kind and helpful server. The baked feta and charcuterie board were great starters. The gorganzola was an excellent addition to the meats and cheeses. The cheddar biscuits were hot, fresh and some of the best we’ve ever had. The New York strip was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Lastly the bread putting and chocolate torte were fantastic desserts that we ate every bit of. You can tell they take pride in what they do there. Overall, excellent service, food, and experience!

A farm-to-table restaurant in Tifton!? I was very surprised to see this and decided to check it out. The menu changes often and will have 4-5 main dishes and a variety of small plates, appetizers, salads etc. They also have a decent cocktail selections and multiple craft beer options. Since I had walked in pretty close to their closing time, some of the main dishes like the beef specialty etc. were all gone. I tried to seared tuna for my main dish which tasted very fresh. The presentation could have been better but overall it was good. I will definitely revisit this place next time I am back in Tifton, hopefully go a little earlier in the evening while they have more options available.

When I asked a local coffee shop. Where to go for the best meal. They sent me to The Local. In a late 1800s home, and now home of one of the best local meals you will find in #Georgia . Like this Shrimp Orzo @thelocaltifton it’s atmosphere will take you back in time and the flavors will bring you back.

ALWAYS excellent food. The flavors are paired well with one another. The shrimp and grits are my favorite. But everything is delicious.

We are here during an overnight stop while traveling. Took a chance and arrived without a reservation. Seated immediately. Ordered the smoked fish dip app. TERRIFIC! I ordered a filet. My lady had the Catch of the day. Both were great. But my steak was superior. Great crust outside and medium rare inside. Good service great food good wine.
