Base my reviews off what you pay: *Do not sit on the dining room side. Food - 4/5 - solid food, solid portions. Service - 3/5 - friendly and solid. Ambiance - 2/5 - classic sports bar feel, little cold. Overall - 3/5 - solid food, solid portions, seafood is very fresh. Service was on par and friendly. Inside was a classic sports bar feel on the bar side but very cold and desolate feeling on the dining room side. Overall solid place tucked away in New Suffolk Best Dish - Friend Flounder Sandwich read more

I haven't been back to Legends since before their renovations. Back then when they were changing owners, the food and service really wasn't as good as it used to be. Now that they are under new management this restaurant is awesome! I was pleasantly surprised to see they have a sushi on their menu, as well as a great sushi bar and chef! The service is excellent, and the entire place has a whole different vibe, which is more inviting, energetic and overall so much better than what is used to be. I am so happy with the changes, and highly recommend checking this place out. If you are like me, and haven't been back since the changes, you need to go. We are so happy to have our New Suffolk restaurant back, better than ever! read more

Definitely a great spot to come to. The food was on point. The service was great. Definitely coming back to this place..

You walk in and sit wherever you'd like ? At least that's what my party and the couple behind me did. We were first timers and they possessed the charm of regulars at ease. We started with the Bees No Knees since it was hot out. Very refreshing but extremely tart. I did not get a hint of the Homemade honey syrup anywhere in that drink, I did get doused with a hit of lemon juice and sparkling water, straight, no syrup!? Like wow Okay. That was a wild experience. I placed an order of soy garlic & Thai chili wings. Spicy loaded tots and regular fries. Everything came out rather quick which was a nice surprise given how busy they were. It was awesome! The spicy tots were amazing! Crispy and not soggy from the spicy toppings. The fries were super crispy and delicious. Although the wings were breaded they turned out crispy and juicy. The breading was a bit much but it added such a nice crunch I didn't mind it. My partner did not like the breading but did love the flavor of the wings. We ate and were checked on periodically by a nice server. Paid for our bill, was asked if we would like to go boxes or some dessert and off we went to enjoy more of the town. read more

The food was fresh, the drinks were good, as well as the service. With a fairly big menu, there are plenty of options for all dietary needs. One side of the restaurant is a regular dining room while the other half is a louder bar/tv/barstools section which is where the party is at! So be sure to reserve that side if you want that vibe read more

Was out east on Long Island for the night for business and stumbled upon this place sort of by accident ended up having a fantastic time there, amazing burger probably top five burgers I've ever had. The staff was incredible. Super polite didn't rush us out. Nice bar on the other side and also not to be missed was their coconut cake that was made in House absolutely phenomenal. Will be back for sure! read more

Service and food were beyond expectations. I ordered fish and chips that were very tasty. My dessert was tiramisu and that was delicious. I'm a Jersey person and I will not be able to get here too often. BTW the coleslaw was the best I have ever eaten. read more

Bar was on one side and the restaurant on the other. You can see the water from where we are sitting. Good drinks! The clams and oysters on the half shell were delicious. I enjoyed the Maine lobster roll which they were adding to the menu. My wife had the salmon BLT which was tasty. read more

We've been to Legends twice now, once with the old ownership and once with the new. Both times were absolutely wonderful! We had many of the same items the second time as we did the first, but the addition of the sushi elevated our experience so much more the second time! The sushi is quite expensive but they use quality ingredients and have a unique selection of rolls, so we felt it was worth it. Excellent calamari which we've had both times. We prefer the dining room but there is also seating in the bar area in the other half of the restaurant. Both times we've had friendly and attentive servers, and the greeters at the door made us feel welcome. We really enjoy Legends, which is off the beaten path of the North Fork and truly is a gem! read more

The new owners don't have a handle on what the first owners had for 39 years. Food was OK nothing special . Lighting is strange. They threw our food out that was supposed to be packed up for me to take home. We left a cell phone at the table , we could see it in " find me" called and told the hostess to go look at our table , she replied she didn't see a phone. We turned around and drove back it was right on the table! Apparently she couldn't give a rats ass about getting up and looking and told us she couldn't find it . Would we go back Maybe in a few months if they're lucky . We had friends go across the street to there other restaurant, they said it was horrible food and they would never go back read more

Everything on the menu is excellent, especially the seafood/sushi. The stuffed baked clams were large, delicious and full of clams and chorizo sausage. Service was informative and friendly. In terms of ambience, the restaurant was tucked away on the south shore of the fork with views of Peconic bay, a lovely gas fired fireplace will warm you on those chilly nights You will not be disappointed. read more

We stopped by Legends to try some local oyster and watch Concacaf Gold Cup, we had a great time! Loved their cocktails, fried calamari was crispy and oysters were absolutely delicious. Great spot to watch sports. read more

Our server was funny, efficient and helpful. We were able to sit in the area without the bar since we were a group of six and a baby! This section was perfect for us. Everyone enjoyed their food. My daughter would have liked less sand and more garlic in her steamers. We shared baked clams and wings. My hamburger was cooked perfectly! What a great restaurant and we look forward to going back! read more

Always a good time ! Great food and great service - love the bartenders!!! Unbelievable sushi - - always fresh and delicious.

Great meeting place for friends to have a few libations, lunch or dinner. Sat as a four on a weekday at bar, the locals took their usual spots and we fit right in. The bartenders were quick to serve and make recommendations for lunch specials. Everything was hot and plentiful. Definitely will be back! Enjoy! read more

Inventive menu with tasty deliveries. Best of all was the shumai burger, (a special) with a sauce that had just enough kick. The flounder sandwich was reliable, ad the chicken in lemon sauce wasn't that lemony, but the table liked it. Not sure if they have outdoor seating... maybe I missed it. read more

Food was decent. Wait staff failed to inform the table of the included 20% tip for large parties (I presume this is 8+ after my recent experience). Beware. It's common courtesy to inform your customers what they are being charged and when. read more

Visited Legends on a Saturday night with a local friend for dinner. After we sat down we had to wait a while for someone to take our drink order. Appetizers and entrees were great for upscale bar food. Cocktails were just okay. Overall fine experience. read more

Legends Restaurant - Hawaiian Chicken Salad** - Sports Bars Near Me - New Suffolk, New York

I'm not a big seafood guy and places that specialize in seafood don't (usually) do well in other areas, especially burgers. But today I was totally hoodwinked, bamboozled, lead astray, run amuck, and flat out deceived in the best way possible. I ordered the legends burger, usually I go to these style of restaurants for the experience but this time the food was one to remember. The burger was huge and the juicier than a mug and blended well with the veggies. We love when places go the extra mile for a good fry and this place did just that. Double fried fries just crumble in your mouth like me in front of a woman. The experience was nice with a beautiful view and some angry Jets fans raving about the few points their team will get this season. Call me fat call me American call me one dimensional but nothing beats a good upscale burger. read more

An unassuming gem by the Peconic. Reservations required. There's a dining area and very ample bar. We were seated right away upon our arrival. " Julia" our server very personable friendly young lady( she was a delight). Their cocktail menu has specialty drinks( legend tea, cucumber cosmos,etc) as well as a fully equipped bar We had " mikes calamari " ( tender, not overly battered) " oysters Miguel " , tomato salad( heirlooms, mint, sprinkle of feta) refreshingly delicious. There's several vegetarian options. The cauliflower steak was Devine.( really enjoyed the spices) Cacciucco loaded with seafood is a must.. you'll need some bread to savor that sauce! Barely had any room for dessert, we ordered the pistachio and the luscious brownie. All in all a great meal! read more

If you're a local you are definitely familiar with Legends, if you're visiting the North Fork you may of heard of it. Great spot to get pub fare as well as entrees. It's not inexpensive but not overly expensive compared to other restaurants on the east end. Legends is off the beatin path & has a very nice view, mostly from the north side of the bar facing south. It's clean, the staff is friendly & my sandwich was the best fish sandwich I've had this side of New Orleans. read more

Legends Restaurant - Flounder sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - New Suffolk, New York

I've been coming here prior to the new owners and I'm happy to say that everything is still great as always! Raini and Eileen were behind the bar and were absolutely fantastic and super attentive to us the entire time as we sat at a high top table and not directly at the bar. We love sitting in the bar area tables as you get a great view of outside and the restaurant! We had some sushi and it was, hands down one of the BEST rolls we've ever had!! Hats off to Chef Mike!! We also had the chicken sandwich which was great as well! The sushi is a great addition to an already great menu! We were in for lunch, otherwise we would have had apps and a larger entree, but I cannot wait to go back as always and I'm happy to see everything is even better than before! They also have a great selection of craft beer, which is a bonus as my boyfriend and I are huge craft beer lovers!! read more

Legends Restaurant - Seared tuna rare - Sports Bars Near Me - New Suffolk, New York

Came all the way from Huntington for Restaurant Week. Legends is beautifully situated near the water. Very peaceful and serene, we watched bunnies running around the yard across the street. Our server Francesco, was very accommodating and personable. My friend and I both ordered the scallop bisque, which was so delicious, I wish I could eat the entire pot. Dinner wasn't as good as we had hoped for. My fluke was small in portion and the rice was dry and clumpy. My friends veal Paillard had 1 tender piece out of 3 and her angel hair pasta had zero flavor. Dessert was supposed be the pistachio cake but they didn't have anymore, so I ordered the frute de Bosco and she had the chocolate dream. Both were delicious. All in all we had a nice meal. read more

We were visiting here for the weekend and found Legends on Yelp. They were able to accommodate us for a last-minute reservation which was perfect. The menu but delicious and had a little bit of everything that would accommodate everyone's taste it seemed like. The service the entire night was fantastic from hostess, waitress, and bussers. Apps: Stuffed clams (one of the best we have had) and Caesar salad (they split it for us without even having to request it to be) which was also very good / fresh. Entree: my skirt steak with shrimp fried rice and asparagus was amazing like I'm still thinking about it. The marinade and everything was to dieeee for. I usually have left overs and I ate 90% of this lol. My fiancé also loved his and ate everything! Dessert: we were both in the mood for sweet for we shared the brownie and our server brought out extra ice cream complementary knowing we wanted sweet lol, and also had after dinner drinks. It was an excellent dinner and we really enjoyed our selves. Would highly suggest it if ever in the area! read more

I would like to give this a 4.5 but yelp doesn't allow it. 5.0 would be off the table because 5.0 is for michelin stars in this category. 4.0 is excellent quality though. Food service ambiance is spectacular. What a wonderful little town it's in. Wine list needs updating but it's nice for a very limited selection. More to come. read more

The 2 stars are for staff they were very good There is a previous review here that said how happy they were that after it changed hands. The menu stayed the same. We also were very happy to find that same experience until now. Apparently the chef is now gone and the menu is totally different. The Pork schnitzel is gone The Salmon sandwich is gone as is the Panko chicken. I found myself ordering sides one being parmesan mashed potatoes that came out ice cold and just had some cheese sprinkled on them We have loved this place for many years and are pretty heartbroken what a different experience it was today then in the past . We don't understand why after saying they would leave the restaurant the same as it always was , they ended up changing so much of it . We do wish them luck and We can only hope they make changes back to the original read more

We went on Saturday for lunch I know the restaurant was sold to new owners about a year ago because we went about the time the new owners took over.We were told the staff and the menu would stay same.Well I don't know about the staff but the menu has changed and in my opinion not for the better.To be brief they took staples that were on the menu that were delicious and put a whole page of sushi plus three pages of drinks and wine.I know I'm going to catch some grief but if I want sushi I go to a sushi restaurant.The prices are way off the charts and the quality doesn't reflect their prices.Im sorry I've been going here for over ten years and they just lost two loyal customers. read more

I do not like to get negative reviews - but as someone who has come here frequently for 25 years, I have to say such a shame what has happened. Previously our favorite go to, it has declined so rapidly under new ownership and is no longer worth the money. The food is decent to poor - in 25 years never sent anything back now the few times we have tried to go with a positive attitude, things are cold and some not even edible. Portion sizes have changed dramatically. Sadly go elsewhere. You can even tell the staff is not happy - no one smiles anymore. Weird vibe. Big no for us - far better options. read more

Decent spot in an area without too many options. Food is quality and reliable. Many focused on seafood but a fairly wide menu. I had the shrimp pad Thai, it was excellent. Also good cocktails. Service is attentive. It gets booked up in summer so book in advance. It's higher end / more expensive than some, but reflects the food and service. Place is one block from the water. read more

This has indoor and outdoor seating. Across the street from the water. This is not on the water. They have street parking. This location is cute and not super expensive. The bathroom is very clean! Just came for a few apps. Calamari and baked clams. The calamari was crunchy! The baked clams had a little too much bread crumbs for my liking. The staff was quick and super polite. Everyone was so welcoming! They do have a bar which was so pretty. The inside is so pretty. Would have loved to try more on the menu. read more

Hadn't had dinner at Legends for quite a while but last night's outing to enjoy some food, drinks & musician/performer Julia King was just about as good as it gets! Nice happy hour til 6:00 with some specialty cocktails (high recommend for the Cucumber Cosmo!), beer & wine served by our AMAZING bartender/server - everyone calls him "G". Super fresh Peconic Gold oysters & clams from Braun's were the perfect beginning & we all had seared tuna for dinner with mashed potatoes, broccolini & sweet potato fries. The tuna was delicious & cooked perfectly. "G" made sure everything was perfect. We left nothing on our plates! Can't wait to return! Sushi Wed-Sun too! read more

We came here on Christmas Eve and are finally getting around to writing the review because our experience keeps bugging us. Legends has been our go-to on the North Fork for the past 10 years. We have been there a number of times since the new owners took over and we haven't been impressed, yet we keep trying in the hopes it will improve. Unfortunately, our Christmas Eve visit will likely be our last. Where to start... a member of our party is vegan, there are a number of items on the menu that are indicated as vegan, that are not. We pointed this out and the response was that they were aware and they (the kitchen?) have been trying to get them (the owners?) to fix the menu. This is a biggie for those that rely on this information for allergy purposes. They had a special prix fixe menu along with the regular menu and a member of our party asked if they could get one of the entrees on the prix fixe without getting the app and dessert, as he was not interested in any of the appetizer options. The response was, being it was Christmas Eve and so busy, they could not accommodate this. With that, we looked around at all the empty tables, we were the only ones in the dining room. The food...we started with Oysters Miguel (a variation of Rockefeller) and a huge stuffed mushroom. Both were barely warm (leaning more towards cool in the middle). Entrees arrived, 3 out of the 4 of them anyway, 1 was enjoyed the other 2 were just okay. The waitress mentioned that the 4th entree would be right out. 20 minutes later, when everyone else had pretty much finished eating, the 4th entree appeared. The waitress said she would ask about this getting comped, but that did not happen. Overall, the waitress was non-attentive, my daughter asked for water refills multiple times getting nothing. The bill was over $400 for a mediocre dinner (and experience) at best. Oh, and did I mention $8 for bread and butter? Unfortunately, we will not be returning anytime soon and we now have to find a new go-to place on the North Fork. I really hope the new owners take the many 1 star reviews into consideration moving forward. Disappointing. read more

The prime rib was succulentand seasoned to perfection. The staff accommodated our part of 12 with ease. Recommend this venue.

I'm sorry I didn't take photographs but I was busy doing some work on my computer when I came in for lunch/dinner. I am not always comfortable dining alone but this experience was exceptional in every way. I was made very comfortable dining alone. I was offered a perfect table and the service was attentive and professional. The courses were on point. A lovely simple salad followed by Norwegian Salmon with forbidden rice and curry drizzle. Everything was prepared perfectly. The service was exceptional. The meal was great. I highly recommend this experience whether you are dining alone or with a party. read more

Really good restaurant in a beautiful, but remote, location. The town is great, just a cute beach town. Legends isn't right on the water, but you get the water view from the front windows. The food is great as well, especially the flounder sandwich that I ordered. Price was good as well since we ordered off the bar menu. The restaurant has a very laid-back, remote-beach vibe, and that does include the service. Our server was very nice, but things take longer than expected for a NY restaurant even if they aren't very busy: preparing the food, waiting for water to be filled, getting the check, etc. read more

Legends is just not the same local restaurant. Food was good. Waitress Kathy was very nice. They had a coupon so we tried it again. They choose the dish that they give you 1/2 price on and not the most expensive one. It's sad when you have to pay extra for a piece of bread. Not included with your salad or entree. We will never come again and probably the old regulars will never come either. The new owners changed the old culture of the restaurant which shows many empty seats. No surprise read more
