Food at a bar, you ask? Yes, I say...EMPHATICALLY. The Annex is so impressive to me because of…read moreits attention to detail - like using spring mix instead of iceberg lettuce, having several choices of tortillas for its wraps, providing high-quality, fresh ingredients & knowing how to cook (read: not overcook) Ahi Tuna. Somebody cares back there in the kitchen, that's all I'm sayin.'
Now, as for what to eat: I haven't had a bad thing yet & I've tried a lot. The salads & burgers are delightful, but my personal favorites are the Grilled Ahi Tuna Wrap (SERIOUSLY, YOU NEED TO TRY THIS), the Grilled Chicken Salad (the seasoning on the chicken is glorious), the Vegetarian Wrap, & the Steak Quesadillas. Zapp's or Sun Chips, rather than fries, are the "side dish" here. I would be remiss not to mention that this is also where you can find the best Frozen Margarita in Lafayette. Enjoy one while you're waiting for your dinner.
Prices went up a couple of years ago, but are still very good for what you get. Keep in mind that some of the menu items vary from location to location (there are a few of these places in town), so what you get at one Legend's may not be available at another. I find that everything's better at the original, downtown spot.
Service here is that of a bar, so expect long wait times & a loud atmosphere if there's a crowd. They still serve alcohol, after all, & they are not staffed with more than a couple of bartenders & kitchen staff. It's worth the wait, in my opinion.
After years of being open, Legend's Annex has not allowed the quality of what it serves to deteriorate in the name of cutting costs. That is precisely why I will be faithful to Legend's Annex for most downtown festivals & other times I want a great meal at a good price.
