Legends Pub & Grill Southtown

I visited Legend Pub & Grill two nights in a row (Friday and Saturday) and had two very different experiences.

On my first visit, everything was great. The bartender was friendly, checked in often, and made the experience feel welcoming. The steak was cooked well, the mushrooms were solid, and the overall vibe was relaxed. I ended up chatting with a couple regulars and genuinely enjoyed my time there.

The second visit, however, was not the same. I ordered the exact same meal and was very clear that I only wanted steak, mushrooms, and fries. When the plate came out, it included additional items I specifically didn’t ask for. I don’t enjoy overcooked steamed vegetables, so this was disappointing.

Service also felt noticeably less engaged during my second visit. The bartender’s fiancée was seated at the bar, which is understandable, but as a customer it did affect the level of interaction and attentiveness compared to the night before.

On top of that, the atmosphere felt uncomfortable due to a couple of loud regulars using inappropriate language. While it didn’t turn into a scene, it affected the overall vibe enough that others around appeared uncomfortable as well.

I paid, ate, and left without making an issue of it, but the inconsistency between the two visits stood out. This place clearly can deliver a great experience, but it seems to depend heavily on who’s working and the crowd that night.

If the service and atmosphere were as consistent as my first visit, this would easily be a higher-rated spot.

This is hands-down my favorite restaurant in the state. You can taste the care they put into every dish, especially knowing they cook with beef tallow instead of seed oils—it makes the food feel cleaner, richer, and genuinely satisfying without that heavy, greasy aftertaste. Their mozzarella sticks are unreal, easily the best I’ve ever had: perfectly crisp on the outside, stretchy and flavorful on the inside. Also don't miss out on the balls of fire! The seasonal menu is another standout—creative, fresh, and thoughtfully put together, it keeps me excited to come back and try what’s new. Honestly, I haven’t had a single thing here that I didn’t love.

The location is super convenient and right off the freeway! I regularly drive an hour from home to eat here.

We are Legends regulars and we enjoyed our food this morning but unfortunately our service was the worst it has ever been. We had to ask different servers for things we needed because ours was so hard to find. Hopefully it was just an off morning.

Fairly nice and typical sports bar with tasty food and good ambiance. Very noisy with sports and talking going on, it's difficult to talk. The soup and cornbread I had were delicious, but the portion of cornbread was tiny and I wished I had more. Parking was adequate and prices were decent and typical for what you get. Service for us could have been better.

Food was okay, waiting on our service was consistently terrible. Ashley was nice, but waiting on her was incredibly long, we were here for over two and a half hours and we ordered fast as we could, and inhaled our food cause we were very hungry so it was not on us.
Honestly, atmosphere was great, everyone else was nice, but can’t recommend with the service.

Worst service ever. Took 20 mins for anyone to come ask for drinks. Ordered drinks ordered food and the food came out before our drinks. Food was decent. Manager should have planned accordingly knowing it would be busy with the last game before World Series.

I ordered a smothered burrito. The menu didn't describe it as spicy, but it was too hot for me. I couldn't taste anything.
We were unimpressed by the service. There 8 in our party. The hostess seemed put out to find a place to seat us. The server wasn't very attentive even though they didn't seem to be that busy.
I don't feel I have high standards for a sports bar, but this place seemed to be just kinda so-so.
