| - Was staying at the Hampton In off Anthem Way and the 1-17 for a wedding and needed a bar and grill situation to entertain relatives, catch college football games, and get a bite to eat. The area offers very little in the way of restaurants, so Legends it was.
Ambiance:
-sports bar, with table, booth and bar seating.
-lots of big screen TVs with multiple games. Had college games on Saturday.
-seem to be fans of ISU (Iowa State), owners likely from midwest
-place was nearly empty on a Saturday afternoon, I think there was one patron at the bar.
Service:
-our waitress was polite and friendly
-bartender does not seem familiar with standards for alcoholic beverages (see below)
Food:
-my fiance and I split a full chicken quesadilla ($8.99). One of the best quesadillas I've had. The waitress suggested we use the Nobody Beats Mitch (you know, the furniture/mattress superstore) hot sauce. It was SUPER HOT! and tasty. Just beware of the repercussions the next day.
-my aunt also ordered a quesadilla ($8.99) and my uncle ordered the loaded fries ($7.99). Overall, they seemed happy with their food, and with the large portion sizes, we had enough to take back to the hotel.
Drinks:
-our waitress was unaware of what liquors they had, originally a Black Velvet and Diet Coke was ordered, she came back and let us know they didn't carry BV.
-the bartender (and possibly the server) had no idea how drinks were to be served/garnished. My uncle ordered a long island iced tea, was not served in appropriate glassware and also was missing the standard lemon. I ordered a margarita, was also served in the wrong glassware and was missing the lime.
The food was great, the prices were on point, but the lack of patronage and the apparent inexperience of the bartender/server really killed the expected sports bar and grill vibe.
