Will note, the fries were good (definitely freshly fried) but there were only three diced pieces of sausage in my en... View all feedback. What Geetika Pandya likes about The Local:
We were flying out to Fairbanks airport after the holiday weekend and encountered multiple flight delays. To kill time at the airport, we hung out at The Local.

Little expensive for the portion size but it is an airport restaurant so not sure if my expectations should be high. Fantastic fries and tater tots. The chicken...

Decent beers on tap, decent looking food on the menu, horribly under-staffed. There was a single person working both the bar and the tables when I was there. Th...

Management should be fired. I doubt the owners care since they are the only food service in the airport. From the time I sat at a table that was not clean prior...

However the hours are inconsistent and frustrating when you show on a Saturday afternoon and they’re closed.
