The Local Press

“This place is truly a hidden local gem! You'd never guess it's Guyanese-owned based on the menu, which makes it such a refreshing change from the typical cultural spots in the area. The food is absolutely delicious -- everything is packed with flavor. They earned my trust after my first order of their turkey burger which was so flavorful. After that, their chicken club sandwich became my go-to. Their chocolate lava cake was also one of my faves! I love their outside seating area. The decor is such a vibe -- cozy, stylish, and welcoming. So glad I found this spot, highly recommend!”

“Incredible place that lives up to the 5-star reviews! From our very first visit back in 2018, they never cease to amaze us with how flavorful and perfectly cooked everything is - from the juicy burgers to the delicious cheese fries, every bite is on point. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and the flavors really shine through. If you are anywhere near Ozone Park and craving a seriously good burger, The Local Press is a must-visit! They also have a great variety of offerings, but our family's favorites are the 'beer battered fish and chips', and their latest addition, the 'bang bang popcorn chicken'; both packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The restaurant itself is super clean and modern with a cool, welcoming vibe. Whether you want to grab something quick for takeout or sit down and enjoy your meal, it is a great spot. They also have outdoor seating, which is a nice bonus! If we could give more points for their service - we would! The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes each visit even better. A special mention to the restaurant manager, Kevin D., who treats returning diners like family. We highly recommend The Local Press for anyone looking for incredible food in a friendly setting. They are definitely a solid addition to the neighborhood! Note: My husband is dreaming of the day when the Cuban sandwich makes its return back onto the menu.”

“I recently went to this restaurant on a whim and it was a great decision. It can be a little pricey, but I'm willing to pay for what I want especially food . The chicken was seasoned well and not many places have bang bang popcorn chicken and The Local Press does and it's good! The Mac and Cheese isn't your southern grandma's, BUT, it is good for a quaint eatery and I'd get it again. The food was hot and fresh and correct! And their menu has enough diversity, so everyone will be satisfied. The signage inside is lovely with great mantras. The staff was welcoming and service was good and the atmosphere was perfect for a quick, intimate bite to eat. Check them out! No, I didn't get paid for this lol”
