Set among the shops off Orchard Park Drive, Local Cue is hard to sum up in a line, because it runs several places at once: a sports bar with wall-to-wall TVs, a real pool hall, a house-smoked barbecue kitchen, and a grown-up game room stocked with darts, shuffleboard, foosball, ping pong, indoor cornhole, retro arcade cabinets, and a few hundred board games.
The kitchen holds its own. Everything runs through the smoker, and the wings have built a following that reaches past this corner of Greenville, with the brisket, the cheese tots piled with beer cheese, and the fried pickles close behind. A large gluten-free menu and a deep draft list round it out. Worth knowing before you go: Local Cue runs as two spaces, a 21-and-up sports bar and a separate all-ages family side, so it fits a late night out or dinner with the kids.
More than a decade in, the thing people mention as often as the food is the service, with servers who come across as attentive and glad to be there. Portions run large and prices stay fair, and there is an event space and catering when you want to host. With this much under one roof, you will sort out your own corner of the place, and your usual order, a few trips in.
