"This has been my go to burger spot in Miami for the last few years. They rank in my top 5. Lokal has a handful of surprisingly good options other than burgers on their menu that I’d recommend such as their Gator Bites, Mexican Chili, and Salmon BLT. They also have a good selection of beers both in the fridge and on tap! My go to is usually their 50/50 burger or the latest Addition to the menu, the bababooey burger which comes with caramelized onions, apple and Brie cheese. It’s sweet, delicious, and awesome! The most popular burger is the Guava Burger. The ambiance gives a 1990s dive bar/hangout spot. It’s a perfect spot to just kick back and enjoy a bite and brew. Service is for the most part, great! You occasionally run into an off day or just a very busy hour which can hinder any staff but overall the staff here is friendly and does a good job. If you’re there, ask for Daisy, she’s one of the managers and she always makes our stay feel very welcomed and taken cared for. She’s a bright spot to this place. The one ripe I have experienced over the past year or so, like most other establishments in Miami, has been the inclusion of an automatic 20% gratuity charges both for in person AND online orders. As much as I agree that the staff should be taken care of for their services, I do believe that this allows for service to not be as high sometimes knowing there is an automatic gratuity included. I’m also not the biggest fan for including auto gratuity on an online order that I physically am just simply going to pick up myself. This could lead to customers looking elsewhere. Overall, Lokal is a staple in the Grove and a very good spot for a very good burger and a beer. Still one of my favorites."
