The Local Peasant Sherman Oaks Restaurant And Bar

The food was really good. We had the crab cakes, fish tacos, a grilled cheese, and chicken tenders. Everything was so tasty, and flavorful. Highly recommend you check it out. Looks like a great place to hang out at the bar as well.

This was my second time dining at this location. I think I liked it better the the first time I dined here. It was a busy Saturday night so, it was to be expected for the crowds and the bar like seen than a restaurant. We sat in the back which appeared to be an add on addition, but they stored a lot of items, like kegs and propane tanks. Wasn’t a great look. We enjoyed the food, but pretty basic for the price. I was expecting something a bit more since it cost like $16 for a grilled cheese and tomato soup. I still like this place and would go again but would like to see coming on a more relaxed night maybe?

I 've been coming to The Local Peasant for years. I 've had birthday celebrations, dinners, and french fry destination events here. I like the atmosphere, choices as a vegetarian, and always friendly service, and can say unequivocally that they have the best thick French Fries on any side of the Mississippi. We move a bit further away and hadn 't been in a while...so I was excited to return...the atmosphere was there, but the food and drink this time around were not quite what I had remembered. I started with a watermelon cocktail. With the main ingredient being watermelon, and simple syrup included, I was surprised at how not at all sweet this was. I had to send it back to sweeten it up some. It came back sweeter, but the watermelon flavor was not as present as I would have wanted it. The french fries and I mean the thick ones, served criss cross on the plate like lincoln logs were on point, and reason enough to visit this place. The grilled cheese may have changed since the last time I had it. It was served on ciabatta bread so it didn 't have the kind of satisfying non end piece grilled bread situation you kind of want out of a grilled cheese. The cheese mix in it was pretty good though. My son ordered the Beyond Burger and (blasphemy the thinner fries. The fries were good but he (a teenager who lives for greasy foods and sugar kept complaining that the burger was too greasy. My wife assembled her own meal as the website menu didn 't quite match what the actual menu was...She had salmon, bok choy, and fries (the good ones . The Bok Choy and of course the fries were great. She said she 'd had better salmon here before. Perhaps slightly overcooked. Our server was fantastic. Super nice. Like he was from Canada nice. (though he wasn 't from Canada. He even brought me a chocolate chunk bread pudding with a candle in it for my birthday. We devoured that. I like it here a lot and think it may have just been a slightly off night for the food. (Possible also because I had planned on ordering the cheese board which was no longer on the menu.

We ordered Big Mak and the taste was not good at all. The bun was dry as if it was 3 days old. The short rib sliders was average. Onion rings was the only good thing.

Even though it's busy service was great, the food was tasty, however skip dessert. Cocktails are well balanced and strong. The housemaid pickle is phenomenal, bacon and eggs so good, pork belly could have more steeped in flavor but still really good, and the mini sliders are perfectly sized. The cinnamon whipped cream for the Irish coffee has so much gelatin in it it cannot melt into your drink, and the mouth feel is pretty bad. The no-bake cheesecake is not a cheesecake at all, texture or flavor-wise. And the flourless chocolate tort is served warm which means the texture is more pudding-like than tort.
