OMG My new go to. Food is amazing. We had the sea bass and the cajun shrimp chicken paste and can't decide which is better. Both full of flavor. Portions are enormous. Great place
If you like spicy get the Charlestown Chicken. Server recommended it and it was super duper tasty. Bavarian pretzel as an app and their beers are local and great. Super cool vibe and got to watch the Ducks grab their spot in the playoffs last night!
The chicken club sandwich was excellent! The mozzarella sticks were absolutely delicious, especially when paired with the marinara sauce. I would highly recommend the food here! Please keep in mind that parking is difficult to find during the lunch rush.
My mother loves the fried green tomatoes, and we never went inside to sit down for a meal. But on her birthday, we decided to have lunch there to celebrate her...she of course ordered fried green tomatoes, and the bbq sliders with tater tots....I ordered the bbq brisket sandwich....they bought were a hit!!! My grandson loved his perfectly made grilled cheese sandwich...the day was great, and our server Suzanne was fantastic...we will make this a birthday tradition for all family members from here on...thank you so much!!!
It was my husband and my first time here and we LOVED! The vibe the food and our server was amazing! Jorge recommended the best plates and drinks and he was on point. We will definitely come back. Thank you Jorge!
Local Kitchen in downtown Torrance is a true gem nestled among charming little shops and secondhand stores. This spot feels like a genuine local hangout, with a cool interior decor that instantly sets a welcoming vibe. If you’re into game nights, you’ll love their multiple TVs framed stylishly, each showing different sports games, creating a lively atmosphere. The food here is consistently amazing and I haven’t found a single dish I didn’t enjoy. The bright, inviting bar offers a wide variety of drinks, perfect for any taste. The staff are always friendly, professional, and accommodating, making every visit pleasant. Whether you’re coming with family, friends, or just by yourself, Local Kitchen is a fantastic choice that won’t disappoint. Highly recommended!
My mother and I had brunch at Local Kitchen today and I absolutely love this place. My mother is a very picky eater and she was so happy with her food and that the staff was accommodating to her order. We had the breakfast combo and OMG the portions were good. The service and staff were great. I will be back to try lunch.
I think it’s called Downtown Torrance — honestly, I’m not super familiar with Torrance and I’ve had some very questionable experiences here in the past. But this spot? Five stars all the way, girl. From the moment I sat down, Daniel behind the bar set the tone — warm, attentive, and mixing cocktails that could hold their own anywhere in the South Bay. The food? Outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and exactly the kind of plates you want when you’re settling in for a late lunch or easing into happy hour. Speaking of happy hour… 3–6 PM and absolutely worth the detour. Great pricing, generous pours, and that relaxed, grown-up vibe I look for when I’m out exploring the South Bay. Parking was way easier than I expected — there’s street parking AND a nearby lot that’s literally a two-second walk. No drama, no stress. If you’re anywhere in the South Bay, check this place out. As long as I’m still on the mainland (and that’s probably only until the end of February 2026 👀✈️🌺), I’ll be back for happy hour again and again. SipWatchTravel approved.
Last minute birthday dinner for 2 on a weeknight resulted in a pleasant and warm dinner experience. Atmosphere: walking in I could already smell the warmth and nostalgia of having a home-like experience. The main dining room is reminiscent of a large living room with built-in bookshelves with various decor. Numerous TV with sports on the screens. I felt like I was sitting in my living room with a full bar in the distance. Food/ Drinks: Numerous options. Rotating local breweries on tap. Food was not mind-blowing to the palate but well- presented. The cup of tomato bisque was delicious and only $4-to my surprise. Service: Samantha was wonderful! She was attentive, warm, and efficient. She checked on us frequently to ensure all Our needs were met. She made our overall experience worth the drive over. Will be back with friends and family!
Great vibes. The service was pretty good considering we went there 40 mins prior to closing. The food was good. The drinks are really good. Overall experience is really good. Definitely on the 'Go there regularly' list.
