    The Sasquatch.
    Cecilia J.

    No wifi :( Came here for a remote work day and was sad to learn that there was no wifi. Aside from that, the menu and food is decent. I tried the Sasquatch sandwich which was alright, but I would have preferred any other cheese than American. Coffee selection is limited to one type of drip coffee. On a different note, Legendary Eats is female owned and has a very nice interior. I love the bright yet cozy vibe along with the outdoor seating options.

    F'en yummy!

    Impressed by this small town college breakfast nook. Afraid that the restaurant would be vanquished by throngs of VMI parents visiting their Rats, I was pleased to discover the full menu was still available. The breakfast sammichs are huge, Sasquatch size, even. Great coffee too. Check it.

    Stopped in for lunch before heading West, and it was awesome! I had the Nessie and my husband had the Leroy Jenkins and they were both very good!! Service was relatively fast given how busy they were, and both sandwiches were made fresh. All employees were wearing masks. Would recommend if you are in the area.

    Great sandwiches! Filling and delicious. Quaint atmosphere and great customer service. Staff was very attentive.

    Awesomeness. Who would have thought I would find a bagel place with Taylor ham in Lexington Virginia that's just as good as back home in New York and New Jersey.

    This is huge!  Definitely enough to share or for 2 meals.

I was hungry and not in the mood to move my vehicle from the hotel parking lot as street parking in Lexington can be a challenge. I arrived at about 9AM and the only other customers were 2 college age girls who never exchanged a word with the other since they were on their phones. I ordered a Hillel and a large coffee. The only available creamer was pumpkin spice which I'd never had in my life. What is a Hillel you ask? It was salmon, caper, onion, and cream cheese in a bagel for about 10 bucks, however either it was tasty or I was starving and would have enjoyed a spam sandwich. The college aged staff were reasonably friendly, accommodating, and my order was ready in a jiffy. The cafe is located on the campus of Washington & Lee University whose current president has a left-leaning agenda for its students. Not a bad deal for a quick meal if you're hungry. The portions aren't huge, but probably more in line with quantities more conducive to health, and prices are somewhat high. PS I don't like pumpkin -spiced coffee

I went ahead with that, and it was both redundant of classic ice cream sandwiches, but also delivered a highly pure dairy flavor typical of quality gelato. I got a Matcha to balance out the sweetness. While it looks a little foamy on top, it was a very strong, almost grass flavored beverage that was appropriate to the circumstance. Some premade grab and go food options may be decent, but did not appeal to my needs at that time.

Everything from the front door to the restrooms. The carpet is not cleanable. They need to replace the foot all together. We had met 10 bikers at the restaurant that was closed and a couple of them were sitting at a table right next to ours. They were not impressed with anything at this restaurant either. In fact when the one biker got his food he turned to me and said "does this look like a hamburger to you?" I will not be recommending this restaurant but I will have to say. Our server was really determined to keep our drinks filled. She literally took it from my hand without asking and filled it. I just laughed a little awkwardly. She grabbed one of the biker guys glass. He said HEY really loud. She was already halfway across the room and she responded "I will be right back" My special was not great but edible and my husband said his sandwich was ok and we were super happy our entire meals with endless drinks was 11 dollars total. I have to say their prices are great. If they made a few improvements they would be better

Upon her getting close and speaking it was very apparent she was very intoxicated and I remarked that it was sad about her condition. As we waited for our food we watched her interactions with other tables and she had problems remembering what table was which. She delivered food to the wrong tables and dropped other food on the floor trying to deliver it. Her fellow waitresses were actually calling her out in the middle of the dining room telling her to get her act together. When she delivered the food the hamburger steak platter was literally a dry hamburger patty that was old and had a thimble of gravy. the mashed potatoes were instant and had been poorly mixed because the powder was still dry in the middle. The glazed carrots were old soggy and brown ( see the picture) . We never got a bill because she just disappeared completely. We went to pay and the cashier was able to look up the order and we spoke to her about the waitress needing some help and her condition and all she would say is " we will try"
