Review The Local Bench Grill - Huntington Beach

The food is ok but the atmosphere is great. And its dog friendly. 🐕👍

Ate here after our son's early baseball game. It was really good.

This place has great food. The brisket tacos were awesome. Sitting outside was nice too. That said, the barking dogs were a little much. Great service. The service was fantastic.

Situated at the edge of a delightful park with outdoor seating all around, perfect for a sunny day. Great customer service. Small parking lot, but easy enough to find parking in the neighborhood across the main street. Arrived around 8:30A on a Saturday, and there was only about a 10-minute wait. We ordered the salmon Benedict, corned beef hash Benedict, morning Cristo and cinnamon bun pancakes. The pancakes were delicious, get them! Fluffy but with some edge crunch, you won't be disappointed. Also, if you opt for a Benedict, the corned beef hash one was the winner between the two. Will be back!

Such a fun spot for some good food! Very nice area in the park with lots of shady spaces available. We came around 12 and were told it’d be a 40-45m wait for 2 of us, it old ended up being 20-30m or so and there’s a nice, short, paved path around the park you can walk around and lots of benches you can sit at while you wait if you want too 🙂 The Country Fried Steak was average I would say, nothing super special. The Chocolate Chip Pancakes and Cinnamon Roll pancakes were AMAZING however. I didn’t think they’d charge $13 for a “short stack” side of pancakes though. We really liked the Morning Cristo with the Raspberry Jam was really delicious too. The Cheesy Home Fries didn’t really taste great to me, kind of chemically.. but my husband liked them. The Fresh Fruit Bowl was also delightful! I thought $5.50 was a very fair price for the amount of fruit they give you!! Our pup also loved his chicken and appreciated the ice water they provide for pups 🤗 Fun to have a nice place outside, with good food, good service, and loves our fur babes! We did feel it was a little expensive for the quality -$82 for 2 of us and a dog ($13 for a Short Stack, $20 for Morning Cristo, $19 for a Country Fried Steak + $3-4 extra for the “specialty” pancakes, $5 for Dog’s Chicken, $6 for a Latte, and $5 for an Iced Tea). I would also love to see them switch to more eco-friendly to-go products (condiment cups, silverware, plastic bags, straws, aluminum to-go containers, etc). Parking was also a bit full, we had to wait for 5-10min to get a spot, but it was 1200 on a Sunday. Just something to note!

This is a sweet cafe that offers breakfast and lunch. There was ample parking right out front. I was approached by the hostess right away. It is outdoors near a beautiful park / trail so very enjoyable on a nice day. The food and service was good. The tables and chairs were a bit cheap, plastic - not the most comfortable.

It's one of the best breakfast places I've been to in a while. The wait can be a little long, but it was definitely worth it. The banana pudding is PHENOMENAL. The cinamon roll pancakes were the best ones I've had this year. There are tons of butterflies to look at while you wait.

Food was great I recommend the French toast cinnamon rolls. The atmosphere is great you're eating at a park and it's a great view.

This was such a cute place!!! I was visiting my mom who has a dog and I wanted breakfast. Found this place and very happy we did. Seating is outside in a grassy area, they have a water station for the dogs and a menu just for dogs!!! People food was great as well, I had a mocha latte, was good coffee!! I think it was cinnamon French toast that I had. I really loved this place, even if you don't have a dog this is a great breakfast!!

Lovely place! The food is delicious 😋 highly recommend the potatoes they are crispy and serviced with cheese. The food is super filling and the atmosphere is very open and breezy. We walked our dog after eating and it was such a nice experience!
