Local Kitchens - Mill Valley, California

I'm not from California, but I'm debating moving here just so I can enjoy this Local Kitchens more often. Walked in not knowing what to expect because I saw the menu online and was surprised by the amount of variety. They offer many options of sandwiches, pizza's, salads, burritos, and more! The guy at the counter—who I assume was the manager—greeted us as we walked in, explained how to order, and offered help incase we had questions. Now, I say that he "explained how to order" because you walk in and the big screens above the counter do show some options, but your full menu will be on a kiosk located somewhere in the restaurant. It's really easy, you scroll through and select what you want, pay for your food (at the kiosk), kitchen receives the order, and you wait. This, of course, is if you're dining in, which I was. For those introverts out there, I'd highly recommend this place. I said maybe two or three words to the guy, and they were just "thank you's". The manager was encouraging his team, and giving them praises when they got food out in 10-15 minutes. My food came out in approximately 11 minutes. And that was despite the fact that they had about 5 orders before mine. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with a side of prop spiced fries and a Classic Black boba as my drink. My chicken sandwich was phenomenal. I genuinely think that was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It was crispy, yet tender on the inside. Not to mention, they weren't stingy with the mayo and the pickles, which earned them bonus points from me because I love pickles. The fries were well seasoned, crispy, and fresh. Delicuous. The milk tea was perfectly sweet, refreshing, and delicious. I had never tried Locak Kitchens until I came to this location, and now I wish so badly that we had them in my state.

Like a food court but you order from one kiosk. Scroll thru the limited menus for various resturants and place your order pay and watch the order status board... very accurate timing.

There is a single unisex restroom down the long hallway to the right of the pickup counter. The bathroom is clean and spacious.

I ordered the spicy extra combo chicken sandwich $15.00. Comes with a sandwich, can of soda and small coleslaw.
The spicy chicken sandwich from Proposition Chicken is really good nice thick sandwich with a good amount of heat. The sandwich is THICK....had to unhinge my jaw. I just love the relish that went really well with the heat.

My wife got the Tam Tam Rice's the Rich Pork Belly Tam with broken rice $16.00. The dish had many small side dishes. Tomato basil salad, pickled cabbage, Do Chua, and egg omelet. The rice is good. The pork belly is grilled and really smokey...very crisp and very flavorful... the only downside is the pork belly was a bit thin.

The service staff is kinda rude, there is a lady who made the wrong drink order and instead of apologizing had an attitude/looked pissed off that she had to remake the drink. She also pretty confidently said I ordered something I did not, until she checked. Not the biggest fan, the food is okay but the service 👎
They use to have better staff in my experience

Very bad low quality food. Had both the burrito bowl and pork belly fried rice. Portion size was around 10 bites and not worth the money at all. Definitely only come here if you’re getting boba.

Really great grilled cheese! We like the fries, falafel, hummus and giant salads. Service is consistently fast, friendly and orders are accurate. This is my go to spot when I need food quickly for a crowd with different dietary needs or tastes. The variety of quality dishes available really means everyone walks away happy and full for a reasonable price. We prefer to dine in here since the grilled cheese is so good fresh. Place is always clean and it’s nice you can see into the kitchen where the cooking is happening.

As former city dwellers, we love having Local Kitchens around! We can order later than 8pm AND have great choices “from the city”. We like some items way more than others (personal preference), but we’ve been mostly super satisfied with our choices! The food is always fresh and warm, super tasty, and whether we pickup or get delivery, we have not had one bad experience. Thanks for the concept!!

Incredible selection - go here when you everyone wants something different, there is a delicious item for even the pickiest eaters. I have enjoyed the Broke Chick Tam, the Amba Chicken Pita, and the best Falafel ever!!!

Pretty cool idea! Rotating food chain options every week I guess. We were visiting and found this place very interesting. Got more options to choose from, yet very nice. Recommended!!!
