My family and I are in the area on vacation and decided to try Legends for lunch. While we were greeted pretty quickly when we walked in, that's as good as the service got. After being seated we waited 15 minutes for someone to take our drink orders, our server was the same girl who sat us. Once we finally ordered our food we waited another 45 minutes before we saw it. We ordered 2 burgers, a chicken sandwich, the macaroni and cheese and chicken tenders from the kids menu. Once the food arrived we were pleasantly surprised that the steak fries were more like large potatoes wedges, it's unfortunate that they weren't even seasoned with salt and pepper. The burgers were average, nothing special about them. The Mac and cheese was absolutely disgusting, it was watery and flavorless, again not even salt and pepper were used. The chicken was really the only decent tasting thing, but it was a little over seasoned. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, there were 3 other tables with 3 or less people at them. Inside was clean and quiet but it was so cold inside that our table was shaking from freezing and another table kept moving to try and get away from the ac vents that were blowing directly on everyone. It's the middle of winter and we had to ask for the ac to be turned off just so we weren't freezing. They had these cameras that every few minutes a bright light would turn on and shine right in your face. I should have listened to my instincts and just left when I opened the menu and saw that if you wanted to share a meal, which my kids do often since they don't always eat the whole meal, that there was going to be an additional $5 charge but no extra food given. We love the area but will never visit Legends again. read more

Ate here this evening for the first time with family and thoroughly enjoyed the food. We all ordered different meals and everyone loved what they ate, which included the Shrimp and Grits, Steaks and I had the Shrimp and Andouille pasta. Can't wait to go back and try other meals. read more

The most excellent service I've ever encountered at a restaurant. This place is exceptional. The food is cooked to perfection and the staff is kind, pleasant and has a smile on their face when they come to your table. I eat here when I can and have always been rewarded with good food, great desserts and comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend it. read more

This restaurant was not good !!! Our waiter started off with an ugly attitude then just flew into a down right rude attack!! Paul is he name ( he spilt his name out of his mouth over three times ) we should know our servers name now !! I'm quoting Paul " we should know our servers name by now !! We waiting over one hour and 40 minutes for our salad , steak sandwich and burger ! The waiter then went on to tell us " it was our fault because we ordered a hamburger " really!! Then we asked for ice four times .. finally receiving we were over course ready to leave . So in order to get Paul's attention.. we waved , called hello out finally I snapped my fingers to get his attention. At this point he saw us but instead of coming over and apologizing for making us wait and forgetting about us he went into a spill about rudeness of me snapping at him!! Asked for manger which was his friend didn't offer desert or discount just said sorry !! Really!!! Worst restaurant experience ever!!!! We will never it at this location again !! I would never suggest to anyone !!! read more

Legends Steakhouse - Food - Steakhouses Near Me - Murphy, North Carolina

Hope to add more stars at a future date. Tried LEGENDS for the first time. First, it's hard to describe the ambiance. The decor is tasteful, but nondescript. The walls were tastefully done with partial brick showing through. Considering the building was a car parts store for years, the owners did an outstanding job. Our party of four was seated at a booth: no table linens or decorations. The menus were plastic and looked like table mats. Silverware was wrapped in a paper napkins. The server was VERY pleasant, but obviously inexperienced/untrained. Although the restaurant did not appear busy, the drinks took an inordinate amount of time to get to the table. Appetizers were OUTSTANDING: stuffed mushrooms and an order of fried onion rings cooked just right. For the entrees, we had chicken and waffles (way too sweet), scallops (way too small), pork chops (cooked just right with lots of flavor), and grilled chicken breast (nice flavor as well). The garden salads were fresh and crisp; the sides of green beans were underwhelming. Oddly, some of the entrees came with a dinner roll plunked in the middle of the plate with no butter; the rolls quickly absorbed the juices and became a soggy piece of dough. Deserts were excellent: pear apple pie a la mode and cheesecake. Coffee was good, but the refill never came. Now for a BIG PET PEEVE: (1) Every time the settings were cleared we we told to keep our forks and knives. I suppose it's not too bad "sharing" from appetizer to main course, but main course to dessert? (2) putting the togo box in the middle of the uncleared dishes. When all's said and done, I'm rooting for LEGENDS to be a success, BUT (and this is a big "BUT") they need to train their waitstaff, dress up the interior so LEGENDS becomes a dining destination and experience, pay attention to the little details (cloth napkins, table linens, and candles/flowers), and review the menu (FOCUS on what you do best!). Take a field trip to the COPPERDOOR in Hayesville. LEGENDS' prices are fair/middle of the road. We'll give LEGENDS a little time to get through post COVID opening and hopefully be able to amend this review. read more

Best chicken and waffles ever!! Mozzarella cheese stick and homemade marinara are outstanding. Serve is excellent as well!! Highly recommended. read more

Our waitress kealey was awesome. Our steaks were the best ever. And the grits were delicious. Our first time here. We will definitley be back. We are from Chattanooga. read more

Went here one time as a single woman. Guess I should have set at the bar and not taken up space at a table. Steak was ok, prices are in line with steaks almost anywhere else. Had to tell the bartender how to make a dirty martini and then ask for more olive juice. Beautiful inside, waiter was attentive. May try again but based on comments from friends who have recently been there it's a cross off the list place. Very sad. read more

Nice atmosphere. But, the kitchen lost our ticket. So the server rushed the kids food, which was nice, but my daughter's chicken tenders came out raw. When our food finally came, only half of the party got their food. One person's steak came out rare (asked for for medium well and a different cut of steak) and one persons never even came. Apologies were made, but it was the worst service ever. At the end two of the entrees were discount 15%, even though they were not able to eat the food. Our bill was $170 and we were given a $5 discount and two people didn't eat. read more

This was my third time we dropped in for lunch Unfortunately this time we were disappointed extremely small portions They must be cutting back already The shrimp salad only had 3 shrimps and my single chopped steak was supported by a few beans and 10 fries can u believe it From the time we orderd good 30 mins before the meals arrived That wud not work for me on a week day The prices not cheap so I wud expect a better and fuller dish ugh ugh read more

New to the area, trying restaurants one at a time, this place was a find, best steak sandwich I've ever had..... food was great

A little overpriced for an average meal. Service was good. Had the special prime rib - not the best or close to that I have had. Rolls were the same as you can buy in the frozen food section of any grocery store (I have them in my freezer). Food came out warm - not very hot. Green beans were tasty and the salad was good. They should try getting their meat from the local farms. This would give them a better product and may just justify the cost. read more

Service was good. She stayed on top of our drinks and checked in on us regularly. But for a steakhouse, they can NOT cook a steak. Mine was cold and cooked medium when I asked for medium rare. One of the steaks was "butterflied" so it was cut in half and then cooked. And the pork chop was raw in some places. The appetizers were good but took a long time to come out. Not to mention, we had to wait well over 45 min to get our mediocre meals. read more

Had a FANTASTIC burger and delectable steak fries here. The food is high quality and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend!

I stopped at this restaurant with my family while vacationing nearby. We were a party of 16, including 8 children. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I had the New York Strip steak with the cheese grits. The steak was perfectly cooked and tasty. The rest of our group loved their food as well. The kids enjoyed the selections on the kids menu. This was a great find in the Murphy area. read more

Went there about a year ago had a very bad experience, never did we get served after waiting close to 15 minutes for a waitress. Gave them a second chance went there a few weeks ago, The service was very good both my wife and my dinner were very good would definitely go back, there has been improvement since the first time we went there. read more

Good food and service. A nice restaurant with many food options. The Legend burger was great and perfectly cooked along with the steak my wife had. read more

Delicious! We walked to the steakhouse after taking a stroll down the Murphy Riverwalk. We were a large group with kids and the staff was very gracious. They sat us at a private room which was a godsend with 8 energetic little ones. Mozzarella sticks, sirloin steak (ordered medium rare and was perfect), fried chicken sandwich, creamed corn, cesar salad, and loaded baked potato were all so good! We will certainly be back. read more

Great food at a reasonable price. Service is always friendly with a full bar also. Steaks are a nice addition to downtown Murphy.

I want to give a high praise and shout out to this steakhouse. I travel every year during medical health insurance open season and eat out a lot for about 4 weeks. It's not easy to find a restaurant that lives up to the reviews on Yelp but this place does! I ordered the T-bone steak medium. It was perfectly cooked! I will patronize again! Thank you for a wonderful eating experience! read more

Steak was flavorful & cooked as ordered (medium), charred cream corn was very good, & service was very good. Waitress was attentive, never had to ask for refills, without hovering as we ate. read more

Awesome experience. We went for dinner. We were seated quickly and our server was delightful. Started with a delicious glass of Pinot Noir. Dinner was a ribeye steak cooked to perfection. The charred creamed corn was "off the charts". The portions were large too. The Texas steak fries were the perfect compliment. If there was a negative it was only that I had no room to try the lava cake. I'll be back for that on a follow up visit. Well done to the entire staff!! read more

Fantastic Steaks! Salmon was cooked perfectly!Delicious home made salad dressings, great house salad! Service was WONDERFUL! Had an incredible experience. Was a little apprehensive based on reviews. But we had a fabulous dining experience. Highly recommend. Mozzarella wedges were delightful! Great job Legends! read more

My ribeye was delicious. My server was courteous. My wife's salad with steak had an odd taste... similar to the odd smell in the building. Don't think we will be back. read more

We came here for the first time on our anniversary. We ordered 2 glasses of wine as they don't serve cocktails & asked for the wine list as we wanted to order a bottle with dinner. The glasses of wine were undrinkable. They asked if we wanted something else & we said no, we would order a bottle with dinner. We ordered dinner: appetizer: queso with chips. dinner: Caesar salad, rib eye rare for me, baked potato. My husband ordered Caesar salad with blue cheese on the side, NY strip medium + a bit more cooked , Texas fries . The salads came before the appetizer, unusual. They were ok. When the appetizer came the queso was not hot. After salads, we ordered our bottle of wine (selection is awful). Our dinner came I had the The NY strip on my plate (rare) instead of the rib eye. My husband was given the rib eye (rare) instead of the NY strip medium ++. Still no wine. My husband sent the NY strip back. It came back still rare. He told the waitress that we weren't having a good night. She sent over another person who apologized & said they were short staffed. What that has to do with getting a steak right is confusing to me. My husband showed her a piece of the 2nd steak & said "does this look medium to u & I wanted medium +. She said no it's rare. Another person was sent over stating again they were short staffed & what could she do to make us happy. My husband said we're we're all set &apparently when he raised his finger - not in her face - she began yelling at my husband not to put his finger in her face & to leave. We left. For a restaurant to have the prices they do, assuming they are trying to attract the people who have the means to pay their prices, they need a whole lot more training in the restaurant business in order to succeed for those prices. Butter should not be served in the plastic 1 inch containers that you get at McDonalds; the side rod salad dressing should not be served in a plastic cup it should be served i a small ramekin. Needless to say we were looking forward to trying it & will not be back again. Don't waste your time or money. read more

We waited over an hour for our food. They had to come back to our table twice to say they no longer had the soup and they screwed up cooking one of our meals and they could replace it with Mac and cheese. the appetizers showed up 40 minutes into our time there. the food was mediocre at best. with that said the server was a sweetheart and did her best. I felt so bad for her. The kitchen needs to get its sh$& together. read more

This restaurant is one of the worst dining experiences of my life. It was a 45 anniversary meal and the first time at this restaurant. I had heard the food was mediocre but in Murphy, NC the options are limited. We ordered glasses of wine while we looked at the menu. After one taste we both said it was un-drinkable. Our orders were miss plated. My sides were with my wife's meal and vise versa. My wife ordered very rare, I chose medium. Both were bleeding! We ordered a $47.00 bottle of wine and even while waiting to my meat cooked it was never delivered. The hostess told us all of the issues were due to the inability to hire staff. How stupid! That's not my problem. You open the door, you have invited me in to purchase your product. If you don't have staff then only seat, feed and serve the number you can handle. Then some hard ass women comes and tells me the staffing issues. She's no brighter than her help. She said you can have your meal for free or leave! We chose to leave. This is at a restaurant where the price tag was in the $150.00 ++ range. The bite of meat I ate was mediocre and the service was terrible. Even after the dinner was a disaster they made little or no attempt to help out. The best they had was "free or leave." I will tell every person I meet of this disgraceful presentation at Legends. Terrible. By the way this took the better part of an hour-and-a-half. read more

I've been to Legends twice, once when it first opened and more recently. Locals seem to like it but I find it all meat and potatoes with poorly cooked vegetables, sides, and unimaginative salads. The cooks don't know how to prepare a steak properly or the quality of meat is mediocre. Service is average. The owner has an answer or excuse for everything, so talking to the "manager" is useless. The atmosphere is bland. Three times is not the charm as I won't return. read more

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!! the food was horrible and the boss/Manager woman talks to her employees like there trash will definitely not be going back read more

Perfect place for a date night. Our server Brittany was simply fantastic. Filled our glasses without us having to catch her attention. Apps came out within 10 minutes, entrees soon after that. Shrimp and Grits are almost literally to die for. Her porterhouse was a perfect mid rare. Will definitely be going back. Often! read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere, wonder staff- nothing not to love! The trout was fantastic, my husbands steak was cooked to perfection and had an amazing flavor, the mac and cheese my toddlers had is something straight out of a magazine- so so good! I ordered another side just for me! Thanks legends for a great meal read more

All excited about trying out Legends in Murphy NC tonight. Not a great start, the host seemed to be confused about our reservation, but seated us right away. The table was dirty, same host came by to half-heartedly clean the table. The server was pleasant enough, but pressed us for our order. We like to enjoy a dining experience where we are not pressured. Served our appetizer and took dinner order, I requested that she slow it down and not put our food order in right away. Before we were finished with appetizer the soup and salad were coming out. Then dinner served with my filet ($43.00), was served very done when I ordered medium rare. The server now doesn't come back until my husband is finished with his meal and my filet has sat there uneaten. She does bring out a satisfactory filet, cooked medium rare, but the meal and experience is basically over at this point and I have to request a to go box. No apology for the overcooked filet, and no offer of any type of compensation - she didn't even ask us if we wanted dessert or another drink. Very unsatisfactory experience. read more

Legends Steakhouse was amazing! We had a Ribeye and a Filet and the was cooked to perfection! Service was very friendly and welcoming and the building looks amazing!! I was blown away when i was told it use to be and old auto store! read more
