A popular Jacksonville-based restaurant mini-chain is coming to Ponte Vedra Beach, part of a new rush of eateries marching into the enclave.
The Local — which operates two other locations in Miramar and Neptune Beach — will take over a space in a commercial strip at 226 Solana Road, according to the Jacksonville Daily Record.
The eatery will take over a slot formerly occupied by Woody’s BBQ, which closed in 2023, according to the outlet.
The Local is run by Ted Stein and J.C. Demetree of Roose Restaurants, the Record reported.
“Every restaurant we build, we do so with the neighborhood in mind,” The Local writes on its website. “Each location unique, but with common threads between them all. As we continue to grow, we look forward to sharing our new concepts with the community, that while inspired by big cities around the world, are homegrown by locals for locals.”
Feauturing brunch, lunch and dinner menus, popular items include ginger wasabi crusted salmon, short rib papardelle and an eclectic variety of tacos.
