    Went to Legends Sunday Dec. 2 at 6 pm, intending to watch the Notre Dame v Michigan hockey game. The game was broadcast on Peacock. Legends doe NOT offer Peacock…not good since going there to watch sports that are only on Peacock could be a draw. Legends could advertise this because many local fans do not subscribe. Very disappointing!

    Service was rather slow -- like many places these days, they appeared to be understaffed. Food was mediocre: chicken caesar wrap was very small and not much flavor, fish & chips just so-so, with mounds of uneaten french fries, cole slaw that was unremarkable and not much taste. Nachos and pretzel sticks were pretty good. Prices way too high: $20 for two pieces of fish, tons of fries, and blah cole slaw. All in all, disappointing.

    My college roommate and I had a very nice dinner before going to the Women's basketball game against Chicago State. We both ordered the chicken tenders and fries and they were very good. Our server, Theresa, although new, was quite attentive and our meal was served to us within 15 minutes of sitting down. We got out of Legend's in under an hour with plenty of time to walk over to Purcell Pavillion to make tip-off. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. I would recommend anyone going to the basketball or hockey games to go to Legends if you want a rather quick meal before the game.

    Had the Domer Burger and honestly, it was just OK. Had great service from the bartender, Annette!!!! She was swamped yet she was able to get my order to me within 10-15 minutes after ordering while I sat at the bar. The staff is quite friendly, including the young lady that greeted me who is from Tanzania, Namie(?).

    Not exactly the quality of food you would expect from a restaurant on Notre Dame campus. Burgers were more like dive bar food.

    Absolutely terrible service!! Took 20 minutes before our drink order was taken, burgers and steaks were undercooked, interacted with server only to take order and deliver food, she never once asked if everything was ok. Had to call server out after 40 minutes to get our bill. We totally understand on game nights (hockey not football) it’s busy, but this was absolutely ridiculous. Completely disappointed considering it’s right on Notre Dame campus!! Will NOT be going back!

    Sat in the bar area and Derrick was my server and did a great job!!! Had chicken tenders and fries and they were really good. The whole meal was about $20 and was a great way to get something to eat before the Men's Basketball game. Get there about 90 minutes before tip-off/face-off and you can get a good meal and then walk over to Purcell Pavillion or the Compton Ice Arena in plenty of time and enjoy the sporting event.

    The loaded french fries were probably the best loaded fries I have ever had. Our whole group was trying to dissect them to be able to make them at home. Definitely include those for your appetizer.

    Everything was wonderful from the greeting at the door, to the fast food service, to the friendliness of our waiter. The only downfall was the extensive time it took to get our drinks from the bar, as the food almost beat them to our table.

    I am vegetarian and could find only one meal (without meat and fish): Quinoa (which was good). Legends should substantially enlarge the offer of meals for vegetarians and vegans. I think it's high time. Thank you for your consideration.

    Came into town to stay overnight before flying out. Thought it would be a cool place to go and the loaded fries were great! The salmon not so much. Server was slow and no reason for it we were one of her two tables. Had to ask the hostess to find her for me at one point. Not impressed and won’t be back.

    We had lunch before a stadium tour in July. Hostess and server were pleasant. GF/DF menu item although not identified on the menu. Temperature in the restaurant was like an ice box. We thought by the name that there would be more character and memorabilia. We were underwhelmed by how little they celebrate the ND Legends in the decor.

    Our reservations for the legends at Notre Dame worth for 3:45 PM. There were no other patrons inside at this time which we thought would be a good thing. Surface and friendliness were almost nonexistent. The food was very good but not for that price. The ambience, were light fixtures that hung in our face while we eat her food. The volume music was a little loud for our taste, could not really hear each other except when we talk loudly, even though we were directly across the table from each other. The menu was very limited, but again the food was good.
