We have gotten to go two times now and I will tell you the cheeseburger and fried okra are really delish!! The burgers are juicy ~ so much so, you need napkins for your arms! (: the okra is crispy & just cooked to perfection. The onion rings, fajita chicken salad & hamburger were all right but paled in comparison to the burger & okra though. Mel was just the sweetest cashier both times! I felt like we were friends right off. The manager Jerrica was pleasant as well. read more

Wonderful staff to greet and ensure your orders are placed the way you like it. Menu has a large selection to choose from and priced very reasonably. Complimentary beans are great tasting but don't get too much before your main course. Chicken and dumplings are the greatest I've had in years. O-rings are homemade and great tasting even without condiments. The Cheese Burger was also a delicious but wasn't able to finish due to all the other great tasting items I ate alongside. Bring an appetite and enjoy. Friendly customers and great place to bring the family. read more

Uhm. WOW! Best fried pickles I have ever had -- chicken on the chicken fried steak was cooked to perfection (crunchy yet moist - hate that word but it really was) and LOOK at this burger. No words necessary! They get it RIGHT, y'all! Oh! And their complimentary cooked beans are fabs read more

Great burgers, fresh cut fries, and friendly staff. Definitely worth stopping if you're in the area.

Tasty meals with friendly service and a nice atmosphere. They serve fantastic hamburgers and you can add all the toppings you like.

The hamburgers and fries were very good! The restaurant was busy but the wait wasn't too long! I highly recommend this place!

Just okay. Burger places are one of those things where I am a really harsh judge. If I don't crave your burger after I leave, then that tells me something. It's not that the burgers here were bad, but they weren't great either. The bacon was outstanding, I have to say. But the burgers themselves, while having decent grill flavor, were still somehow meh and unmemorable. Plus, the patties were cooked to beyond well done, which meant terrible texture. I understand you are serving a mixed crowd, but even medium well would probably work across the board and not be so dry and underwhelming. I also doubt this is a half pound burger. Even if it was, it was pounded too thin. So between the over-doneness and the thinness, I felt like I was eating nothing more than a decent fast food burger. The sides were the even lower point. Regular fries were cold and floppy - unacceptable anytime, but especially for a Friday night when you should have everything ready and on point. Sweet potato fries were crispy and hot... but cinnamon on top? Possibly cinnamon sugar? Sweet potatoes don't need cinnamon. I love sweet potato fries but for maybe the first time ever I didn't finish a portion served to me. Ick. The young woman at the counter accidentally charged for an extra fries, which I can and did totally forgive, but then she didn't tell me that choosing a cheese other than cheddar on my bacon cheeseburger would constitute an upcharge. I don't mind paying a tiny bit extra, but you need to inform me first. It must be said: we looooved the fried catfish (only served on weekends). And the free beans while you wait (with hot sauce, SO good). I would almost give this place 3 stars on these two items alone. But if I am judging this place on burgers and fries, which is what they specialize in, I can only give a mediocre review. Not making the effort to go back when I am town. read more

Absolutely delicious food and portions are unbelievable!!! Highly recommended making the drive.

This is a very cool spot. The inside is a bit dated but the food was awesome. Friendly staff. The woman in the kitchen came out and helped take orders to move the line along. For 2 people (big guys ) and 2 drinks was under $20.00. The only reason I did not choose to give 5 stars was strictly because of the dated cafe feel. It has tons of locals enjoying it with lots of other options nearby. Cheeseburgers were good. French fries were hot hand crispy. read more

Really good burgers & hand cut fries. The chicken tenders seem hand battered, not frozen. Only complaint is the cream gravy wasn't the best. But everything else was really good. Nice veggie bar to top off your burger, and free pinto beans while you wait for your cooked-to-order food. They have chicken fried steak and catfish too. I'll try that next time. read more

Highly recommend for a great burger! I stopped in here because there used to be a Legends in Bullard and it was excellent, so I was hoping this place was of the same ownership I believe it may be, now For starters, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, the restaurant was clean and well maintained, and the speed of service was on par for this type of restaurant, but the main reason for this review is the burger I ordered the pepper jack burger, and it did not disappoint. The burger was fresh and juicy, not dry or greasy. It was cooked to perfect doneness for my taste, about medium well, and served on a sour dough bun It had just enough of a kick to tantalize the taste buds, but not over power the burger or burn the tongue The fries, on the other hand, were just pedestrian, nothing to write home about I'd like to give it a 4.5, due to the fries being just average, but that's not an option, and I don't think it would be fair to bring it all the way down to a 4.0 for decent fries and a top notch burger. Therefore, I made my grade based on the greatness of the burger. That's why I went there and that's why I'll be back! Next time I'll try the sweet potato fries and give an update read more

Pros: Burger was great and not overcooked Natural cut fries were great. Cons: Bathroom is horrible, dirty and unkept. How much does a light switch plate cost? Less than a dollar? Wall base trim coming off. Paper towels wouldn't come out. Hubby got chicken fried steak. Not hand battered. Over cooked and dried out. read more

We're new to Jacksonville, so we are just starting to venture out and try new places. This one did not disappoint! The cashier was super friendly & the food was great! The burgers were HUGE! The sweet potato fries were just ok, but the tater tots were the best! Will definitely be back! read more

Fun and interesting decorating. Bathroom was clean. Meal was pretty good. We had the hamburger steak smothered in onion gravy with fries, Texas toast, a salad and a large sweet tea. BTW: They charge an extra .75 to share a plate. The salad was a good size and was more than just lettuce which was nice. The hamburger steak was good quality and was cooked through. The sweet tea was extra sweet and delicious. Only problem was the fries, they were no longer hot when we received our plate. read more

We had a 1/2 lb burger, a 1/3 lb cheeseburger, a chicken fried steak sandwich, fried pickles, onion rings, and crispy fries. Everything was amazing and homemade. read more

The service was great. The food was average. I definitely wish it had a little more flavor but it was a good experience and my kiddo ate her burger good. read more

I have come to Legends many times and have had great experiences. Today was not their best the chicken fried steak had no flavor and tasted very bland. My boss got a burger and it had no flavor in the meat and did not taste fresh like the other times we have come. Disappointed read more

Really good hamburgers. Last one I had was cooked just right. The flavor was good and the fries are good as well.

One of the best burgers I have had in a long time. Casual with a good selection of salads and burgers, chicken sandwiches. Free beans if you are dining in. read more

For a local down burger joint, this place is awesome. I ordered a pepper jack burger stuffed with jalapeños, bacon, and onion on a sourdough bun with sweet potato fries. You the get pinto beans with every order and they were tasty while I waited for my order to come in. The burger was delicious. Cooked well, and extremely tasty. Their sweet potato fries are absolutely wonderful. Get these over the regular fries. Clean restaurant and friendly staff, this is a local burger place that shouldn't go unnoticed in small town Jacksonville. If you're driving through, stop by here instead of Chili's or one of the other chains. read more

The hubs had the daily special, son had the kids cheeseburger, I had the house salad. Everything was delicious and made to order. They get busy at lunch time so expect to wait. We highly recommend if you're out in this part of East texas. read more

Great service and great burgers. Have to be in the top 5 of burgers in East texas. Recommend it highly

Went there for lunch, just missed the crowd and line. They obviously make each burger to order, fresh and delicious. Had fries, cooked correctly but they were short and stubby. Just pieces of potatoes. However they were good and crunchy Fresh fixings on salad bar, loved having chopped and sliced onions, and the different mustards. However, in the town of tomatoes it was disappointing to have pale pink grocery store tomatoes. Will go back! read more

the food cost to much you can get a combo and the beans don't taste good today the onions I think have been out all day

We eat here a lot. Burgers are usually pretty good. Homemade potato chips are hit and miss. These were gross. They were VERY oily and you could tell the grease was old. They tasted horrible. I traded them for bagged chips. This has happened before. Basically, it's just a hit of miss. It's either fantastic or not so great. read more

I don't know how the food tastes. Closes at 7 pm on a Friday night?! What is up with that? Had a recommendation to go here but I guess not today! read more

This place has the best burgers and fries in the area! Food is cooked fresh when you order it and is always tasty. Legends has a very pleasant atmosphere with old local memorabilia on the walls. Vegetables and condiments for the burgers are conveniently on a salad bar to the right of the cash register. Best burgers in East Texas in my opinion, highly recommend! read more

The food was good not great. We were Definitely a little disappointed but the staff was very friendly. We will give it another try in the future read more

Takes 30 minutes to get your burger, but it's much better than all the usual fast food chains. 3 Stars just because it's ridiculously slow.

. Good location, mediocre to subpar food, the 2 stars are only for the burger cooked well but the cheese you get not worth it. Paper thin and the person at the register had no idea of how much extra!? They give you all these free condiments to cover up the burger but the lettuce is wilted and some of the tomatoes were too ripe. I wish their french fries had some special seasonings...I had better tasting fries from the one I bake at home in the oven. All in all; Burgers are good not great, greasy fries and if you like sweets order the onion rings! They put sugar in the batter, really??? Taste like "onion cookies. Don't believe the hype! Unreasonable price, for the quality of food there very large portions and the inside is very nice, however we won't be coming back! It was like a poor man's "Fuddrucker's" minus the good food. Sorry. read more

Road trip to Jacksonville, and decided to check out Legends. Had the junior burger that was a quarter pounder of real beef that tasted great. Fresh onion rings and sweet potato fries. Will definitely revisit in the future read more

Places, Plates and Pillows is back on the road again on another job site. While on the road my co-workers and I were told about this place so we checked it out. A lot of memorabilia on the walls with that small town feel. Hamburgers are their speciality. It's like a Fuddruckers, in that you order your burger and the have a bar where you can put on your burgers what ever you want. I got the bacon cheese burger with onion rings. Good burger and great tasting onion rings. So if you in the East Texas area, stop by Jacksonville, Texas and check this little gem out. I loved it and hope you will too. read more

This is a great place for hamburgers. Real and fresh meat... Not pressed and frozen as is usual these days (sadly). Order the size you want, then wait for it to be cooked. When it is ready, the add-ons are buffet style. While there, you will see interesting collections, hanging on the walls, commemorating legends of various genres such as sports, music, cowboys, etc. this is quality. read more
