The potatoes are loaded and well cooked. I think they have around 5 diferent kind to choose from. You have your choices of meatless or meat. I got the barbecue pork one. It was delicious. The pork is placed on top of the loaded potato. The pork was a good portion and it was good. They do ask you what you if want a sause with your potato. I chosed a white sauce. It tasted like ranch to me. This potato is a meal. I also ordered a brownie. This brownie was o.k. it did not taste freshly made to me.it was served warm with ice cream. It came with a little package that had nuts. The restaurant is cute. It is the type of restaurant that you place your order and pay .

Our first time here today and the food was absolutely amazing. We both ordered the Catfish meal,…read moreand it was so yummy. I got Cole slaw Mexican Cornbread and fried Okra, it was delicious and fried perfectly. Hubby got the same except he got fries and coleslaw. He very rarely eats the whole meal and he ate every bite but 2 or 3 of the Cole slaw. He kept saying this is really good. Teresa the cashier was so accommodating and very friendly and out going. Had a smile on her face almost continuously. The manager was very polite and even came to our table to say hello. I decided I couldn't stand not seeing what the fruit tea and the peach lemonade were all about. I asked if I could try a little of the two drinks and was told sure. Oh man I told my hubby I was in trouble after I tried the fruit iced tea, then said he was in trouble when I tried the lemonade and peaches. Well even though I was full I had to order the largest drink. Enter Teresa saying I told you they were good. Now if you want to really be happy, or blown away, I can remember exactly what she said. She told me to do half and half. I was like an Earl Palmer. I don't drink soda and so when I find a place that has a drink I love, it means I will be dipping into the cash fund to enjoy said drink I find. So bottom line is this, if you want a lot of food and it to be very delicious and an iced tea and or a great lemon aide, you have got to try Legends Express on Military in Lawrenceburg. Great food, 2 great drinks and the employees are very friendly. Which in turn means this will be my go to place to eat at a lot.

Their Food is mid tier, it's fried chicken, I can do it at home, anyone can do it at home!, service is ok, you have basic people behind the counter that gets confused and asks you 10 times what you ordered, the ambiance is good nothing to complain about there BUT!, I ordered two, 8 piece chicken strips just CHICKEN STRIPS because me and my girlfriend and her kid was hungry and we were going to the park all day to walk and play so I wanted enough food for like 5 hours. My mistake was giving my girlfriend my debit card to go to KFC and get us two 8 piece chicken strips. JUST THE CHICKEN STRIPS. and the the total was just under $50?!? REALLY?! For chicken strips!?!? Any Shell Quick Mart gas station has the same quality chicken strips for like $2 a piece!!, lesion learned we'll go to a Shell gas station and get the same order and it'll be under $20!, We could have went to strikers and got steaks for $50!! She just didn't think about it nor listened to the price when they told the price when she ordered it. Well this is why I'll never take my business to KFC they've burned their bridges with me.

BEWARE FUTURE CUSTOMERS: I used Rick's for catering for our wedding. Food was good. But if your service isn't up to par I don't care how good the food is. I paid in advance to have people come and prepare the food, set up decorations that they had available, and serve our guests. When they showed up they had zero intention of doing anything but drop off my order. My father in law basically had to make them stay. They didn't have tables like I asked, my guests were making their own plates and making a mess, and the representatives just stood there with a deer in the headlights look. Now I'm not ignorant it wasn't completely their fault. The coordinator that I initially worked with had resigned. I called the day I found out she was no longer there and spoke with Brittany. I confirmed with her that she was on the same page as the other representative that left. She said yes. I called and double and triple checked before the wedding. I called Brittany Thursday morning and expressed my concerns and frustration with what happened. The representatives that came out to the wedding were dishonest with her and told her that everything went well, probably to save their skin. While talking with her I was told that I should be happy with the price I was given. I make close to 100k a year before we even talk about my wife's income. I can afford a TON more than what I paid for their services. That I felt was disrespectful. I don't make their pricing. The price that was offered to me obviously I took because it was the most competitive. That's what you do as a consumer. Then I was told she would speak with the owner on a resolution and that she would contact me the same day. That never happened and that was Thursday. Today is Saturday. No response yet. As a sales professional I can't with good conscience recommend them to anyone because I would hate for this to happen to anyone for their special occasion. Being in sales it doesn't matter how good your product is, of your service is not up to par how can you expect to grow and produce as a business? read more

This is the worst attempt at a real BBQ sandwich I have ever had, one choice of sauce and no favor. It didn't taste as if it ever saw a smokehouse! Real Tennessee BBQ is at Corner BBQ in Union City TN or Ray's Cafe in Troy, or Hog Heaven in Dyersburg. They offer home made sauces either mild, medium or hot. Those are the real thing!!! read more

This is one of the best fast-food barbeque places you'll find! My favorite is their loaded potato with pulled pork with hot sauce. Many of their menu items are good as well. However, I have always found their chicken to be to dry and stringy. Overall, very good food for the value. read more

We ordered a 4 meat combination consisting of beef brisket, pulled pork, St Louis ribs and Texas smoked sausage, plus an order of smoked chicken wings. My favorite was the brisket, it's my first, I'm used to California bbqs Tri-tip, prime rib, filet mignon and T-bone steaks. Never realized what a real bbq brisket was, always saw it on TV, but this was the real deal. Naturally the other meats were great, but the brisket takes the cake. The sides we had were baked beans and mac n cheese. Customer service was excellent, can't wait to come back!

Wife ordered the Loaded Chicken Tater with a side salad. Everything was moving along nicely until we placed our order. It has been about 20 minutes since we ordered and we still haven't gotten our order. In total it was just about 35 minutes for our meals to come out. My wife loved her loaded potato. My Ribeye was cooked properly but was very thin and had a lot of grizzle on it. But overall it was a decent meal. Onion rings and grilled vegetables were also decent. Just not sure if the food lived up to the cost.

I swear I was blasted back in time like the villain from Ratatouille when he had his first bite of Ratatouille. My first bite into it and I felt my tastebuds screaming for more, all sense of time ceased to exist and the room went quiet. "You and me" from the beetles started to play and I was looking at myself from outside myself. I'd take out a second mortgage on my house if I couldn't afford to eat one, this is a rare moment where you have been let down by so many other steak houses but you manage to be in the right spot at the right time and have an existentially mind blowing experience. Recommend, go here, get the steak, look at me, not the price, get the steak. It's worth it. You can't eat money, money does not taste as good as the steak. If you're still reading this and not eating that steak that's a problem.
