When we got there we wondered why nobody was there enjoying the outside dining on such a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. By the time we left, we knew. Service was almost non-existent. Food? Well, I commented to the waitress that the bone on my plate was the smallest chicken bone Id ever seen and couldnt imagine how it could qualify as a "wing". She looked at it, chuckled and agreed (but did nothing about it)! At over a buck a wing they ought to have at least a little meat on them. Then, theres the smoking. The guy at the next table was enjoying his cigar - I wasnt. Umbrellas. Like everything else here, barely large enough, maybe. Sun had no problem working its way around those puny things. Atmosphere. Might have been OK had it not been for the weirdo sitting on the window sill (yes, thats what I said!) of the second floor shouting to some other idiot on the deck, on and on and on . . . . . If the guys in the white coats haul away a few of the residents, the atmosphere may be OK. The way Ive got it figured - either the guy that owns this joint inherited it and doesnt need the money, or hes SO opposed to paying income tax hes decided not to participate. The only way I could recommend this place is if you miss seeing the tattoo lady at Riverview Park. Shes now a waitress at the Irish Legend.

We decided to come here for some dinner during a bike race that was being held right out front, which is here every year. You would think with the event coming here every year at the same time the restaurant would be a bit more prepared. They were out of basically every side including FRENCH FRIES, which was a little annoying. Also there were not enough chairs on the outside balcony for as many tables. They had two privet parties booked that same day and one of the parties had not even shown up yet (wasted un-used space). Now for the food. There was absolutely nothing special about the food. Fish and chips (chips=Mac n cheese because they were out) was bland, Reuben was OK, burger was tried and old, the only good thing about this place is they make the drinks strong! Oh and also beware of the bar stool type chairs they have outside, they are old and rotted from the inside-out.

The right off the boat Irish waitress was ver pleasant. She was constantly coming out to make sure that we had refills on all our drinks and the food plates were being bussed quickly. This place is kind of in the middle of nowhere and its a great secret destination. We spent most of our time around the waterfall in the beer garden and outdoor stage. The inside is nicely decorated and isnt too overdone to look like your typical Irish pub.

Cool, nice, old speak easy, lots of history, good beer, great food, good company, friendly, nice place... I come here whenever I have down time.... Its a special joint... Lots of old stories about it...They have good parking, theres more across the street, by the old Willowbrook ballroom... Which is either being remodeled or torn down, not sure yet...

Great atmosphere. Seems like an authentic Irish pub. I especially like the burgers which are stacked higher than you can get your mouth around. The pesto chicken sandwich is also one of my favorites. They have live music on the weekends which is nice. Sit next to the fireplace in the dinning room if you need warmed up.

Comfortable little restaurant. Nice staff. Nice outdoor area. The craft beer selection isnt going to blow you away but they have a few. Not enough for vegetarians unless you actually enjoy a grill cheese so I probably wont be coming back.

From the top management to the cooks, and everyone. Great Irish pub, great food and drinks are always cold and served as they should be . This place does not need the luck of the Irish as it exemplifies pure Irish glory .cheer to Vinny !

Cant say enough good things about the service, food and atmosphere. Its our newest place to hang out for grub and a good time. Others have gotten away from the basics, thankfully the Legend has not.
