We loved this spot!!! Grabbed a light lunch to tie us over mid da my and I'm so glad we did. Incredible view - very fun golf course vibes aesthetic. Friendly, helpful staff and quick service. Would love to visit again and stay for a longer fuller meal! They also have tvs so we were able to catch a bit of the World Cup! read more

Legends on the Lake - What a view!!! - American Near Me - Lake Lure, North Carolina

It pains me to write a 3 star review for this place because I've had previous positive experiences. I sat at the bar around 5p with the idea of getting an early dinner and rolling out quickly for an early day tomorrow. There were maybe 3 other people sitting there when I arrived. I ordered the chef salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing and the Turkey Melt which I had once before and recall it being THE best melt I ever had. When I got my salad, it had ranch dressing. I asked the waitress what was the dressing and she said, it's our special made ranch dressing, it's sooo good. I said 'I ordered balsamic vinaigrette', she said 'oh my, you're right, we'll get this fixed for you'. Oh well, I thought it was simple. When I got the Turkey Melt, it was so messed up, I could not EVEN pick it up, it was sliding off the panini. I had a guy sitting next to me who could not even order a pizza. He didn't know what his choices were. When the waitress told him his options, he said ' wait a minute, I have to make a call'. He was talking to someone about what he could have on his pizza. When the waitress came back, he couldn't remember what he wanted, finally he just said 'I just want cheese'. Then this couple at the end of the bar are SO loud, everyone is looking at them. They were locals because the kept talking about local stuff. Then as more people came in, they all went to the end of the bar to see this couple and all of a sudden it felt like a party. I was enjoying the HDTV, it had the golf Channel, ESPN and CNBC all at the same time, three of my favs' Then the sound of rolling THUNDER and all the channels went blank. It was more than I could deal with, I ask for my bill and a go box. read more

Food was bad but the experience was absolutely terrible. First, I was put on hold for 10 minutes and had to call back to put in a takeout order. Then when I arrived, it took 30 minutes for the food to come out and there was not a single person who took initiative to help. Eventually, after I asked 4 different people including an unhelpful bartender, one of them went to the back and finally brought it out. It was not busy, there was no excuse. I would never eat here again. read more

Views are great but, beyond that, this place was below average. We walked in to find crumbs underneath our table that hadn't been swept and a huge bumble bee flying about. When the appetizer arrived, the chips were stale. That should have been a warning. My smash burger was under seasoned and cold, while the fries and onion rings were entirely too salty and inedible. The meatloaf was dry and my burger came with lettuce despite asking for no lettuce. My son wouldn't eat his chicken tenders either. The wait to get our check was very long. For a restaurant on a resort, I expected better. Wish I had read the reviews prior. Overpriced for subpar food. Nothing fresh and everything was either over or undercooked. I expected more from a resort restaurant. Their saving grace is the view. read more

One of our favs at Lake Lure! The chef here is outstanding. That sea bass was one of the best we've ever tasted. The Legends pizza was delish! We tried the highland AVL from Asheville on tap and it went great with the pizza and views. A hidden gem for sure! read more

I love Legends ........for the football and bartender/server Danielle. The chilli was very good but came out Luke warm. The grilled chicken wrap was decent, but not memorable. I don't care for their vinaigrette coleslaw. The French fries are greasy and ALWAYS come out room temperature or cold. They have to get rid of that over done Smash Burger and put a decent "regular" burger on the menu. read more

Great service, great food, beautiful views! The people are friendly and helpful, and the owner may even come over to your table and chat with you. My husband recommended the chili to a friend as the best he ever tasted. read more

We leave tomorrow and do plan on coming back; we enjoyed our stay here! The Bucatini Carbonara was absolutely delicious. The Beef Nachos were delicious, though a bit salty and I am a big salt lover. Danielle and Colleen are excellent bartenders and Adion is great support. There was another wedding happening tonight, but we did still meet locals and they were all just as friendly and lovely as the others we have met. Small world, we met folks from most of the places we have lived around the USA. Notable: They have a Touchtunes music Jukebox! They're hard to find these days but I love them. also notable, it's listed under Rumbling Bald not Legends Restaurant. read more

View is the best part of eating here! Food and drinks are good but you definitely pay resort prices. Service was ok but there was a wedding there today so am guessing they were a little short staffed. read more

We set on the deck, Great view, good service. I had wings and a salad. Both were good

Great restaurant on the Rumbling Bald Resort at Lake Lure community. Building is at the edge of the lake which have great views to the lake. We were here at the their Halloween and trivia night. Many people dress up for the best costume. We also have fun on the trivia. The restaurant was pack during that night. We have the chicken masala and chicken with oily garlic sauce. Both dish has good sauce. The pasta was nicely done. The chicken breast was grilled. It still maintaining the juicy meat after serving on the table. Good dishes to have. We also got the local brew beer. It was good. Our service is on time even we have full restaurant. I have them an B on serving. The manger did check on our table. All our food came out on time. read more

We arrived for breakfast and got to sit on the outside deck over looking the beautiful Lake Lure. Our guest had the Sausage and Gravy Biscuits he'd been obsessing over ever since he saw it on the menu to previous day. He loved it. My spouse had the pancakes and holy cow! Three pancakes 12" in diameter. HUGE portion and they were thick but light with a fresh flavor and light crust. The epitome of well prepared pancakes. I selected the classic: 2 eggs, toast, bacon and breakfast potatoes. Nowhere on the menu was there any mention of GRITS. My menu choice was excellent but it would have been PERFECT with a side of grits. I mean, this IS the south! Our waiter was attentive and enjoyable. There's plenty of parking right outside the building. The lobby is open and tasteful. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and made to feel very welcome. read more

Our order again came out quick, fresh and delicious. read more

Wow! Legends just switched to a new "winter" menu and the quality of the new entrees were excellent. Definitely suggest the Pan Seared Tuscan Chicken and Dry Aged Ribeye. High marks for the Beet and Goat Cheese Salad and our group was also pleased that the Strombolis are back. Will be back soon to try the Pan-Seared Sea Bass and the Spinach and Walnut Ravioli. Nice selection of draft beers as well. read more

Food is so salty that it was crunchy. Inedible. Service was acceptable. I will not go back.

Food & ambiance was ok but service was disappointing. If it were not fir their on duty manager, our night would have been ruined. They are lucky to have such a nice manager. read more

We drove an hour and a half to get there so and were informed they had "unexpectedly" booked a wedding in the restaurant on the lake. We were told they were serving in the restaurant across the road. The road was under construction and we had to avoid cones laying on the ground. The restaurant was filled with golfers in from golf. As soon as we walked in a young woman said"we are not open til 4." Instead of saying welcome. We left. read more

Legends on the Lake - Picture from upper deck. - American Near Me - Lake Lure, North Carolina

We arrived around 2 in the afternoon...maybe that had an affect on the quality of our meal. It was hard to find anything vegetarian on the menu. We just went with salads and cooked vegetable of the day (zucchini, onion, mushroom, I think). We started with hummus that tasted like nothing. Absolutely zero seasoning and poorly presented. Hummus is not a difficult thing to make! Underwhelming. Disappointing. I was spending the afternoon considering whether to buy a house...Rumbling Bald dining amenities certainly didn't shine today. read more

We picked up to-go, which you do at the bar area, and the view! The view of Lake Lure and the mountains was beautiful! The food was good. We ordered the poutine fries. The first bite was delicious! But then the second, third, forth got super salty. My husband got the 10oz burger, biggest patty we've ever seen on a burger and cooked to a perfect med rare, although it needed a tad bit more something, like spice, to push that flavor over the edge. I got the chicken parm; the chicken was also cooked to perfection but the marinara sauce needed a sprinkle of salt and pepper and herbs. Overall, the food was worth getting but just needed a tad more flavor. I can see the view adding a lot to the atmosphere while you dine there, especially if you're lucky to get a spot on the outside screened in deck facing the lake. read more

Warning to the vegans who are seeing the "vegan options" button on this Yelp page: Whatever they have on the menu that makes Yelp say "vegan options" was not shared with me. The host/person taking orders at the front only offered a salad with nothing on it when I asked what was vegan on the menu. This prompt needs to be removed from the Yelp page or y'all need to intentionally add something vegan... not pick all the toppings off your lettuce. I never would have made this trip to legends if the Yelp page was true about its non-existent vegan menu. read more

Ordered a meat lover pizza yesterday afternoon. It has to be one of the worse pizzas that I have eaten & my family agrees. I believe they use frozen pizza dough & then add the toppings as per the order. The topping slides off the pizza bread when I picked up the slice. Never again! read more

This was our first afternoon at Lake Lure. After walking around the lake, we enjoyed lunch here. The waitress was very nice and very attentive. We ate on the outside deck over looking the lake. We split a hot Turkey sandwich and onion rings - delicious and more than enough for two! Paired with an Asheville IPA and Bliss on the Beach cocktail. Afterwards, we returned to our condo and took great naps! read more

Legends on the Lake - The view from the live feed while we ate lunch! - American Near Me - Lake Lure, North Carolina

Dinner on a Friday night. We knew this place would be packed, expect to wait 25/30 minutes. I didn't understand why there were about 5 tables with no one sitting there, perhaps only a few servers so they could only seat so many people. There are not a lot of restaurants near this resort, so the choices are slim. The waitress was fantastic, attentive, did her job flawlessly. We ordered pizza, wings, and the kids had grilled cheese sandwiches with fries. I ordered the 10" cauliflower pizza with pepperoni, and it was really good. The regular hot/spicy buffalo wings were better than the dry rubbed. The dry rubbed tasted like a bunch of old bay and chili powder. For pizza and wings type of place, this place was great! It's good, try it! read more

Fun spot at the resort right along the beach and water. Really pretty spot. Food was better than expected. Hubby really enjoyed his wings and he's a picky wing eater. Perfectly crisp. Cold beers with my fried chicken sandwich made it the perfect lunch. Servers were friendly albeit a bit slow but to be expected as the outdoor patio was packed! My youngest also enjoyed his burger and we enjoyed walking around the resort after we ate. Will be back! read more

Went there for lunch on a Wednesday in mid October. You have to stop at the gate to get a pass. We had the everything pizza and it was excellent. Lots of toppings and crunchy crust just like we like it. Sat by the window with a beautiful view of Lake Lure. Highly recommend. read more

All round good food. Thanksgiving dinner was fabulous. Ham, and desserts were my favorite but all good. read more

Insane food long wait autograph Michael Phelps and more. We had to wait ten minutes to be seated

We enjoyed a fantastic meal here. Our two servers (Tyler and Marquies) were attentive and took care to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was superb! We started with mussels (In a delicious white wine sauce with tomatoes). They were tender, and delicious. A side of waffle fries (sweet potato and regular) also came with the mussels. It was an interesting side, but very good! For dinner, I had the salmon topped with shrimp and Brie sauce with with rice pilaf and Broccolini as sides. The Broccolini was tender and perfectly cooked. My friend has the tilapia with mashed potatoes and she enjoyed her meal. We didn't have dessert, but they had a great selection from Mocha lava cake to Crème brûlée to cheesecake. I would like to give Lakeview 5 stars, but I think they still have some training to do. We had a busboy who almost took our plates before we were done! I'm thinking that further in the season, these glitches will go away. We had a fantastic evening, and I commend the servers for their attentiveness, and hard work. I look forward to coming back this summer! read more

We sat outside on the deck on a beautiful night. The view of the lake was gorgeous. The service was attentive and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the food we ordered. We shared a stromboli as an appetizer. It was filled with pepperoni, cheese and veggies and served with marinara. Tasty way to start the meal. We had meatloaf, salmon, autumn salad, and philly cheesesteak. All of the entrees were tasty and the portions were good. Dessert is a must. We loved the bread pudding. We reccomend this restaurant and would defiintely return when in the area. read more

You have to be staying at Rumbling Bald resort to have a pass to eat here. We walked in expecting a lot as it was pretty pricey and very nicely decorated. The views are beautiful as most tables overlook Lure Lake. However, the food was subpar. The mac and cheese had a very soupy sauce. The buffalo wrap wasn't bad but it was drenched in sauce. I expected more for a restaurant in a resort like this. read more

We enjoyed the atmosphere. Food was awesome. Best ribeye we've had in a restaurant in a long time. Sorry I didn't get a picture. I had the Brie appetizer and a cup of chili. So good! Super nice staff. Brittany is a sweetheart. read more

Legends on the Lake - Brie Appetizer - American Near Me - Lake Lure, North Carolina

Stopped in for lunch - this place has the atmosphere of a sports bar, and is divided up into at least three sections including a full bar area, main dining room and a room with a mixture of both hosting a few pool tables and a giant screen TV covering one wall along with a number of smaller flat screen TVs scattered around the restaurant. I found the service to be attentive and very professional I don't think we could have expected anything more. The food seemed to come out of the kitchen a little slow but in their defense the restaurant was mostly filled making it was a non-issue being our server keep our drink glasses filled and kept us updated on the status of our order. All our food arrived at the same time and everything was as we ordered - I ordered the massive 10 oz Burger with fries and it was cooked perfectly medium and full of flavor and the fries were still hot from the fryer. I noticed a few people sitting with us ordered the boneless blackened chicken thigh sandwich and raved on its wonderful flavor and the over-all uniqueness of the sandwich. The restaurant is located a few hundred yards from the main entrance to the resort and nestled next to the lake which provides a beautiful view through the large picture glass windows lining the main dining room. It seemed everyone enjoyed the food and the over-all experience and we definitely plan to return... read more
