    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

It felt like a dream pulling in to this picturesque location (pic). Adorable classic diner from start to finish. Checkered floor, the sound of conversation and clinking silverware. Food was fantastic. Excellent prices. Real Eggs, hash browns and a huge hot cake. The staff was working their butts off. Full and bustling Sunday morning. They had a help wanted sign and the fantasy of blowing up my whole life to move here and apply was fun to ponder as I finished up my meal. I loved the way the cook said, here you go baby as she plopped my plate down, hot and fresh off the griddle. It took everything in me not to fall in love with my server. He has aura. I'll never be back and I will never forget it.

Didn't have the ingredients for the special we ordered and we weren't told until the rest of the food was started. Meaning that order would be delivered much later than rest and that person would essentially have to watch the rest of our party eat while there was cooked. The reason for the issues was probably the loud smell of marijuana that wafted through the whole restaurant. 0/10 recommend Side note. I don't know why food, service and ambience are checked green because they were not good.

Had a few cars out front so we thought that was a good sign. We sat ourselves. I got the special of the day and my husband got turkey sandwich. Ordering was interesting the server was abrupt. I laughed after she walked off because she was so sassy to my husband. He was asking her what came on the sandwich and she just kept repeating you tell me. This restaurant needs to be cleaned. 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

I don't mind scuffed up tables and cracked vinyl chairs, but I draw the line at actual dirt smudges on the wall.

Even though I ordered pie from a case (definitely not home made) the only thing we ordered that came was the chocolate milk. Two stars since the waitress was understanding when we left and didn't charge us for the milk. Avoid.

    I love this cozy bakery. I stopped here with my family for breakfast and loved the artwork posted…read moreabout. We came for a simple breakfast but found it was really really delicious. My 6yo daughter had the waffles, I got the twoseez which was basically toast, scrambled eggs and bacon (which said daughter took), pre-teen son had a bagel sandwich, and wife had an omelette. My wife's omelette was extremely flavorful. What really made it wonderful was the owner's kindness and honesty. Knowing we were tourists asked us what we planned on doing and when mentioning the near by safari park, he said "oh don't play to feed the animals" which was exactly what we needed our kids to hear because two week prior the kids had a field trip to a petting zoo and my daughters class including her all got sick and I didn't want a repeat of that on our vacation... so thank you dude. But also he gave some insider info on where else to go around and that was also appreciated.

Food was delicious. I had the vegetable panini, which was delicious and flavorful, and the bread was amazingly good! The other one had a gyro, which he only wished had been bigger (not that it was small.) The baked goods looked fantastic, but we didn't try any. Definitely recommend if you're looking for soup, sammies or sweets.
