    Booths around my area. Not to bad a few rips in seat.

    Buffet items were very flavorful and lots of options. Seasoning was spot on. Tried the steak fajita mix, beef burrito, corn and tomato mix, cheese sauce, tortillas, guacamole and jalapeños. Salsa was ok, chips were fresh. (Seen shredded chicken, bean burritos, seafood mix, and lots of fruit selection. Biggest complaint was most hot items on buffet were room temperature at best. Had to put the cheese sauce on most items just to warm up. It was about the only thing that was hot. I will come back just need to turn up the heat on warming table. If I had one suggestion please put lights over the warming table so you can see what you are wanting to eat at the buffet. Time 11:45 so I can only suspect the food was not sitting out long before I got there. It should have been hot. Last but not least I tried the cinnamon chips for dessert. They were good and plenty of seasoning. Price for lunch buffet was $10.95 Turn the heat up the buffet table and put some lights on it, you will see good results and a 5 star from me next time.

    Where's the cheese??? My Monterey Chicken.

Delicious!!

This…read moreplace was hopping on a Saturday afternoon, we got here right at 1130ish and were able to easily find a seat. Plenty of parking available despite being busy. There are two buffet islands, one with main course and sides and some desert, the other with a salad bar and more desert options. There is also an ice cream machine that my wife swears tastes just like Chik-fil-a's. The food is almost all southern, and some of it got rotated out while we ate (the chicken and dumplings gave way to country fried steak and gravy). Fried Chicken, pulled pork, mashed potatoes, fried okra, corn, green beans, man n cheese -- the list goes on and on. By and large, the food was exceptional. The fried chicken was moist and the breading is flavorful, the mashed potatoes were good. Pulled pork was succulent and the BBQ sauce was great. The strawberry shortcake was delicious. Only downsides from my visit was that the corn bread was a tad dry and not sweat (that's a preference thing) and there was no gravy for the mashed potatoes. That being said the yeast rolls are great. The chicken fried steak got rotated in with some pepper gravy (a bit watery) but these were the only nitpicks I found with my visit. Overall the best southern food and best buffet near Huntsville. My waitress ('Granny') was hustling, she made sure the plates were cleared and the drinks stayed full. Everyone seemed to know her and she was able to be friendly with the locals while taking care of business. All of the employees I saw were busy, wiping down the buffet lines, bringing in heaps of food and just making it a great experience. The value was phenomenal -- $12.50 for adults and $7 for kids. I wish they served Coke products and lived next door then they'd be perfect. If you're reading about this place and you live in Hunstville, its worth the drive. If you're a local, its probably a staple and you already know. 5 stars, would recommend. Thanks!

No preservatives in anything served. I had fried chicken, red potatoes, mac-n-cheese, cole slaw, white beans, cornbread, pineapple casserole, wheat bread and fried catfish. Desserts are made there too. I had fudge pie with homemade vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. Everything was absolutely delicious. The butter is churned there as well. Picnic tables are on the front porch and a swing hangs from the ceiling. There is a vintage cash register used when you make payment for your meals. There is also a store with jelly, jams and other items made there. I bought a tee-shirt. I highly recommend visiting here. Bring your appetite. Everything is buffet style. The owner is friendly. Check hours of operation before you show up. Good parking. Clean restrooms. If possible I would give more than 5 Stars. I am not a local. I am visiting my daughter and grandchildren in Florence. My daughter found this wonderful place because someone from her job recommended it. I will definitely return.

On Saturday their $12.50 hamburger or cheeseburger with fries or onion rings is on sale for $9.00. Our waitress quickly brought menus and drinks to our table. I ordered a cheeseburger with onion rings and Dave ordered a cheeseburger with fries. The food was cooked quickly and brought out hot. My burger was burnt on one side. I cut it in half and ate the side that wasn't as burnt. The onion rings needed to cook longer as they weren't crisp. They were borderline mushy. 3/5 Dave's cheeseburger and fries were ok he said. His burger wasn't as burnt as mine. The fries could have cooked longer as they were mushy. 3/5 I must not be ordering the right foods when I go to Legends.

I feel it's above average because it's home cooking. The price wasn't bad, either. For two, plus two drinks, it was around $28. So if you add the tip to that, the price wasn't bad at all. Compared to a lot of other places, I didn't think the price was bad. The way I see it, you can easily spend $10 per person, if not more at a fast food place for just one meal. Now, onto the food. They had a salad bar section with different salad dressings so I really liked that. The day that I went, they had meat loaf, chicken n dressing, fried fish, fried chicken, and ham. I really didn't have any complaints about any of these. I thought it was pretty yummy. My favorite thing here was the fried chicken. Sides: the sweet potato casserole was my favorite side here. It was so yummy and made perfectly. I also thought the mashed potatoes and gravy were pretty good. They also had Mac n cheese, green beans, some corn, and a couple of different rolls/cornbread, and sides. Desserts: they had a lot of options for sweets so that really surprised me. They had some ice cream (the kind you scoop), a few cakes, peach cobbler, and some banana pudding. I didn't really get to try much of the dessert since I was full, but I did get a small amount of the peach cobbler to taste it and it was scrumptious. It's always hard to find some good peach cobbler, but I felt that it was made perfectly here. I also tried their sweet tea and I also thought it was made perfectly. It was nice and sweet just how I like it.
