The smoked salmon sandwich is my favorite, but there isn't anything I've tried here that I didn't love. The harvest salad and black bean quinoa burger are great. Try the mint-aid at least once!

The truffled egg salad on the glorious crusty-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside pretzel bun is a revelatory gourmet twist on a classic. Also their refreshing strawberry mintade is my new fave drink.

At over $10, the sandwiches may seem pricey , but they utilize high quality ingredients and come with two excellent sides; it makes for a filling lunch or a satisfying light dinner .

Don't miss: Duck confit sandwich ; Vietnamese-style pulled pork "Banh Mi "; house-smoked salmon with onion jam and cream cheese on a poppy bagel ; kale salad ; lemongrass slaw ; roasted turnip salad . Read more

The quinoa burger is so delicious. It is not dry and the avocado is so good. I also love the options of the two sides that you get to choose to have with your meal.

Soups are consistently delicious and I love the vegan taco salad currently on the menu. Also missing the falafel sandwich ...it was excellent with a salad set up!

Duck confit is defenetly the most interesting thing I have eaten this month. Great taste. Mintade was too sweet for my taste. Tuscan kale is interesting, acorn squash not so much. I will come back.

I recommend the truffled egg salad on pretzel roll . The roll was chewy and tender and the egg salad was delish! Their posole soup was also comforting.

 ‘Halfway obsessed’ is a great description for how Houstonians feel about Local Foods. Great for Vegetarians and Omnivores alike! The Asian Chicken salad and Shrimp Tacos are my faves.

One of the best sandwich I've ever had! You can choose gluten free bread and two complimentary sides with your sandwich . Cookies and gluten free cake .

Bahn mi sandwich is delicious and filling, add the house sriracha ! All sides are quality, and lots of healthy options ????

Try the Summer Harvest salad ! The mixture of baby lettuce, goat cheese , assorted vegetables , sprouts, salsa verde , sunflower seeds , and shrimp or chicken will have you asking, "What's bread ?"

Food is beyond delicious, and there are several vegetarian and vegan options ; the Garden Sammie was super! It’s awesome ????

Outstanding sandwiches on tasty bread . Bahn mi is great, so is egg salad . Kale salad is default yummy side plus something seasonal.

The partnernship between 44 Farms and Local Foods is unmatchable - when in doubt try one of their featured menu items - will not disappoint

Very nice staff - great food options - pleasant decor! Check it out. My only criticism would be that I Sometimes find the food to be a bit too salty. Owned by same guy as Benjy's next door.

Everything here is delicious & fresh! I love their egg salad sandwich , posole soup , and kale/beet/cabbage coleslaw sides are my fave. Ordering a glass of the (512) WIT on draft is a must!

You can never go wrong with the crunchy chicken or egg salad sandwiches . The homemade potato chips are a little too salty, though.

Great option for catering business meetings . They deliver on time and with the same quality you get at the restaurant .

Kale salad is awesome. The earl grey bar is good, soft, and flaky but it tastes more like lemon bar .

Try the truffled egg salad sandwich . It will rock your world! I get it every single time. I'm obsessed and I'm not an egg salad person.

Get the falafel for house made pickles and some of the freshest tomatoes you'll eat. Goes great with the quinoa salad .

I had the banh mi and it was great! My sister got the crunchy chicken and it was even better!

Delicious seasonal menu items alongside a decent selection of local artisinal foods (Bravado Spice spotting!)

Get the crunchy chicken and duck sandwich with a pretzel bun ! Kale and couscous are delicious.

The pozole is life changing. I hate to say that it's better than my abuelita's. Almonds in pozole ?! More please...

Very good and hearty sandwiches , bring your appetite - great local beers on tap , too

The mint ade was delicious. The egg salad and duck confit were solid. I didn't like the beets because it had a strange flavor.

The garden Sammie and vegan meatball sandwich is to die for, and everything else!

The Crunchy Chicken sandwich is very good. Clean , quality, simple food with a bit of a twist.

Try the Roast Beef Sandwich - the most unique and delicious roast beef samich evaaar!!! with kale , curried cauliflower , and horseradish mayo

The duck confit sandwich is highly recommended. Don't worry if you don't know what "confit " means! Try it.

The food is good & it's definitely convenient when it's not Sunday Brunch . The pretzel buns are delicious!

Order the Asian Chicken salad -- stacked high with fresh goodness. Orange limeade drink is refreshing on a hot day!

Get the crunchy chicken sandwich along with a mint-ade. The portions are large so you can def share if you're not ravenous.

This place uses actual "local" grown foods hence the name. I recommend trying the Asian chopped salad it's awesome!

Must tries: truffled egg salad sandwich on a pretzel bun , the posole , and the cabbage slaw (light and tangy ).

The crunchy chicken sandwich is to die for!! And you can't leave without getting the chocolate cupcake . Wow

Definitely share the larger tables. Your next best friend (or more) may sit with you.

Don't worry if it seems really full. By the time you order tables almost always start opening up quickly.

Delicious shrimp and crab sandwich . Fresh, healthy food in a pleasant, airy setting.

The crispy chicken sandwich and quinoa salad are both phenomenal.

A little pricy , even considering they only use local/organic foods, but very intriguing menu & great atmosphere.

So delicious! Makes a great lunch date. Order the minty fruit drink thing!

The truffle egg salad on pretzel bread is superb! Definitely a must try.

The Arugala shrimp salad is one of my new favorite meals!!!
