Looking to chow down on some New American fare? A new spot has you covered. Located at 714 Yale St. in The Heights, the new arrival is called Local Foods.
This is the fifth location for the Houston-based eatery, which offers "a gourmet selection of sandwiches, salads and prepared meals with local ingredients from select featured local farmers," according to the restaurant's website.
To start your meal, look for items such as avocado toast with lemon zest and local sprouts, vegan chili con queso with pita bread and seasonal hummus with veggies and Texas olive oil.
There's a large selection of sandwiches like falafel with Kalamata olives and vegan yogurt, smoked salmon with mixed greens and onion jam, and "Crunchy Chicken" with nut crumbles, crushed chips, house pickles and buttermilk ranch on a pretzel bun.
Each sandwich comes with a choice of soup or two sides, such as beets with mint and pistachios, red potato salad or quinoa with bell pepper and carrots. (You can check out the full menu here.)
With just one review on Yelp thus far, Local Foods currently has a five-star rating.
Jennifer G., who was the first Yelper to review the new spot on February 17th, said: "Welcome to your new happy place! Beet humus at the bar while drinking a blood orange mimosa on a Saturday afternoon overlooking an outdoor patio filled with lovely folks and their furry friends—it just can't get much better!"
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Local Foods - The Heights is open daily from 10am–9pm.
