A great place to eat very clean fresh food and very welcoming
I want to show some Love for Legends . The food never disappoints and the owner is always in good spirits willing to serve the community as he knows how. Even when he feels that he has inconvenienced you he will make sure to correct it. This evening I had a call in, when I came to pick up my order he made sure that I did not wait long and gave me more chicken than what I thought to get it. He shows love. I appreciate that. And it has a good taste!

Spent about 40 dollars waited an hour after calling in from them westside just to be served old chicken and perch was so old and dark under the breading we tossed it after taking one bite…if you’re going to just give me some old food what did I wait an hour for on a call in ??
I also asked for hot sauce on the side and was given mild slathered all over my old fish, probably to mask it but I don’t eat mild sauce smh
Complete waste of money on inedible food this is what happens when you support businesses in certain communities ALWAYS trying to get over

Closed at pre-ordered pickup time.
I ordered via GrubHub. The food was great, good portions and they followed my special instructions. They replaced the cakes I ordered with an extra wing and perch, wish that they called me to see what I would have liked instead. Also, their water is listed as 1.5 LT but it's only .5 LT. I will go in person if I can. I like their mild sauce too. Not too sweet or spicy, just right.

NOT WORTH THE WAIT! Pretty good tasting food actually, but not worth the long waits. I’ve called on 4 different occasions at different times of the day and the service is always extremely slow. Even if you call and order they’ll say 15-20 minutes, which is fine, but then when you show up after about 20 minutes to pay and pick up the order they say it isn’t ready and then you have to sit and stay an extra 25-30 minutes waiting on your order. Definitely not worth the wait with so many other fast food options and Harold’s less than two blocks away on Vincennes Ave.👎🏾👎🏾

At approximately 3:50pm on Saturday January 6th I went to pickup a call in order. When I got to the restaurant, they had me stand in line for at least five minutes before they even bothered to find out why I was there. The whole time I was waiting, I literally watched two female cashiers assist
one customer that only needed one of them to help her. One of the cashiers was watching what the other one was doing.
I voiced my frustration with their laziness. They retaliated by putting salt on my chicken wings. The instructions in the DoorDash app specifically said NO LEMON PEPPER.

The atmosphere was terrible. The lady and the guy at the counter in front were talking and ignoring me. I asked for lemon pepper on everything and we confirmed that’s what I wanted and it was not put on my order. I ordered a 3 piece catfish filet. Had I not check before I left Id’ve been at home with my food Very upset.

You guys literally have the best fried fish in Chicago. I be telling everybody about Legends. I just wished you guys opened up at 9am because I literally don’t wanna eat nothing else lbs. Also the owner is very respectful. I thought he was Ronnie DeVoe.

I placed an order via GrubHub for pickup. My fault for not checking my order upon receiving it. Needless to say, after I get home, part of my order was incorrect. I was asked to bring back the incorrect portion🤦🏽♀️ and I still had to put my own lemon pepper on my food🤷🏽♀️ No courtesy offer of so much as a cup of water for my inconvenience. The catfish is good, but we have to work on the customer service

I have tried fish from JJ's Red Snapper and it is breaded and cooked better than their fish, I was quite surprised took a chance and ordered the customer service was great who was the manager.
My mom loved the catfish steaks. This is my new go to place.
Don't fret if they are a little slow some places rush and when you get home you will be disappointed not here.

They somehow forgot my 10 wing dinner in the order and the lady said she’d write my name down so I can come back another day. Guess what? I go back the next day excited to give them another chance. The woman at the counter is clueless. No name was written down. The food was cold the first time, mild sauce tasted funny, and you failed to honor your word? These restaurants need a revamp in customer service and more competent cooks that actually care. They’ve lost not just one customer but they will not be recommended by me to anyone. Just go to any other fried chicken place, at least the food quality will make up for the poor service at those places. This review will not be removed or bought like the others. Tired of all these mid chicken joints polluting the neighborhoods.

So Legends be on POINT. The food is done right and delicious everytime that I go. Now the cons. They are slow on the cooking, example I ordered 2 gizzard and wings dinner and Thigh only dinner, man when I tell you I gave them and hour and half, when I got there I still waited 15 more minutes. But I guess it's worth it 👌🏾. But I call now and see if it's ready before I leave out my house... Shrimp is good and the catfish fillets.

THIS CHICKEN IS THE BEST, FRIED WITH PERFECTION…I LOVE MY CHICKEN FRIED HARD, this place does it perfectly; not how it’s made at others places when you have to wait forever only to go home disappointed…NOT THIS PLACE, great service through the door from everyone! Can’t do nothing but love the vibe and the people (like I said everyone lol), it is named “LEGENDS” for a reason. The chicken meal with the MILD SAUCE IS ON POINT PEOPLE, you can take my word. I took time for this review, it’s that good! Cooked fresh, perfect crisp, I love everyone from the cashier, THE COOK (Dude cool and is on POINT WITH THE FOOD), the Manager is all 💯

While the food was tasty I didn’t like the fact that I had to pay for items I believe should’ve been added to my meal. Also I didn’t get any napkins or flatware with my order and shouldn’t have asked to ask for them because it should’ve been automatic. Things like this are critical to pleasing your customer base as well as great tasting food.... ijs
