I’m not really understanding all the negative reviews, because my family and I had really warm and friendly service (thanks Haley and Sky) and delicious food. The decor is hyper local and thoughtful. It’s super clean! It’s so much more family friendly than the other sports bars in Aiken and we can’t wait to try their outside area when it cools down later in the year. We honestly can’t wait to go back! This is a somewhat too-hidden gem in Aiken and I encourage every to check it out for themselves before forming an opinion. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Thank you so much for your very positive review. We try very hard to be professional, courteous and provide great food and beverage. We are not always perfect, but we do try very hard to be excellent. Please introduce yourself next time you visit us! Jason.

We really want to love this place because the atmosphere and local dive bar feel have so much potential, but unfortunately our experiences have consistently been disappointing. Most recently, we came for Mother’s Day brunch and it was honestly frustrating from the moment we sat down. When we arrived at opening, we were seated at a table that was still dirty and sticky from the night before, but no one seemed aware of it. We ended up with sticky residue all over our arms and belongings while trying to flag someone down to clean it. It then took quite a while before anyone came to wipe the table down. There were also no menus available, and we waited around 20 minutes before finally getting one, being told they needed to print more but just handed copies from the table nearby who finally ordered. During that same stretch of time, waters arrived sporadically one cup at a time instead of together for the table and never even got a cup for each person (there were 2 adults and 3 kids in our party). With three young children sitting there waiting, it just was not an ideal experience, especially on what was supposed to be a celebratory Mother’s Day brunch. After another long wait without being served, we decided to leave altogether. We were unable to find any staff to let them know we were leaving. This is not a reflection on the wait staff because everyone seemed kind and genuinely doing the best they could. The bigger issue is that the restaurant felt completely understaffed and underprepared for the Sunday crowd and especially for a major holiday event. We arrived at opening, expecting it to be more crowded. It was not very crowded and there were several tables empty, but it's like the restaurant did not prepare for the day. This is consistent with previous experiences we've had here and after multiple tries, we've decided not to return. We’ve had positive experiences grabbing drinks at the bar, but every time we’ve tried to sit down for a full meal, the service has been incredibly slow and disorganized. At the current price point, the experience simply does not justify the cost. We ended up going down the road to The Feed Sack where brunch was less expensive, the service was phenomenal, and the overall experience actually felt enjoyable and welcoming for families. I truly want this place to succeed because it fills a niche our area needs, but it feels like management may have expanded beyond what they can realistically support right now. Focusing on efficiency, staffing, preparation for big events, and overall organization would make a huge difference. Having dirty tables and no menus ready at opening on Mother’s Day should never happen. Meal type: Brunch Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

My daughter ate at Local Junction last night and brought the family of four oyster baskets all with green jacket salads and one loaded potato. The portion of oysters was terrible maybe 7 and the salads were not green jacket salads more like a house salad. Needless to say, we ordered Marco’s. All we wanted was a good comfort meal.
