The food was amazing. The calamari was the best I've ever had and the shrimp curry was as well. The wait staff is top notch. It was a very quiet atmosphere as well. The only complaint from me is portions, which is very small in comparison with what we pay for. Anyway, thanks for a great meal and experience overall. read more

Great service and atmosphere. Food was uneven in terms of quality. My wife and I ate here for the first time with two other couples on a Saturday night. One couple lives in the Norman area and reserved our table. I was excited to try this Norman institution and enjoyed doing a little research in The Oklahoman archives ahead of time to find out more about its history. The dining room reminded me of Cheever's in OKC: close quarters, white background, plenty of extra items hanging everywhere, including wine glasses hanging from wooden racks attached to the ceiling. The menu reminded me of both Cheever's and Charleston's. It leans into a more sophisticated set of flavors, but they're not trying to rock the boat. The list of items on the menu is long enough that everyone in your party can find something that they would like to eat, but it's not overwhelmingly long like the one at the Cheesecake Factory. Another couple ordered the spinach artichoke dip for our table. I had a bite on one of the petite toasts that were served with it. Not bad, but it didn't have the background spiciness or discernible parmesan cheese flavor that I like to taste in spinach artichoke dip. Every entree comes with a salad, and I ordered the blue cheese wedge salad. On the positive side, the wedge of lettuce was icebox cold and crisp. The bits of bacon sprinkled on top added just the right amount of salty and meaty to the salad. On the other hand, their homemade blue cheese dressing did not have as much blue cheese in it as I expected. Not sure if their recipe involves so much mixing that the blue cheese chunks disappear in the process or if they started out with a blue cheese that doesn't break off into chunks. I prefer blue cheese dressing with tang, and this one didn't have it. My entree was one of the specials: miso-mushroom fried chicken thighs. I was enticed by the menu description which mentioned bone-in chicken thighs and local mushrooms in the sauce. I was disappointed that what came to my plate were two boneless chicken thighs. They were wrapped in a crunchy fried coating that I enjoyed, but boneless is not bone-in. The mushroom sauce was tasty, but it didn't match what I imagined in my head. I was expecting whole or halved mushrooms but received little bits of mushrooms. I respect their recipe. It still tasted good, but I would rather sink my teeth into mushrooms when they are called for. The accompanying squash medley was excellent; crisp tender squash added color to the plate and sang out the praises of summer vegetables. The accompanying sour cream mashed potatoes were silky and complemented the chicken well. For dessert, my wife and I tried the chocolate peanut butter pie. It was not what I expected based on past experiences with desserts that go by this name. Usually, this is a chocolate cookie crust with a light peanut butter pudding filling. What we received was a chocolate brownie crust topped with a layer of peanut butter frosting (confectioners sugar + peanut butter), a layer of chocolate syrup, and a few actual peanuts. The peanut butter frosting was much too sweet, there were not enough peanuts to create a crunchy counterpoint, and the chocolate brownie base was almost a crunchy counterpoint by itself because it was so dried out. It helped to eat bites of the pie with the vanilla ice cream next to it, but the manufacturer of this vanilla ice cream put barely any vanilla flavor in it. Our server kept our drink glasses full throughout the evening and answered our menu questions with honesty. Overall, I can see why Legend's has survived for nearly 60 years. I wish them all the best for many more decades as a leader in the Norman restaurant scene. read more

This was my first time to dine here and I was very pleased. The service and atmosphere were inviting. The food was also great. I had the Caesar Salad and Certified Angus Petite Filet with vegetables and sour cream and chive mashed potatoes. It was all so delicious that I had no room try the amazing looking desserts. read more

This is by far THE best restaurant in Norman and has been for decades. The ambiance, the food and the service are all top notch. I love the Kelly green walls, terracotta floors, eclectic art on the walls, music coming from a live piano player...it's so much fun especially around the holidays. Even the bread is spectacular. I usually get the Curried Shrimp when I come for dinner and I never leave without dessert. Their lemon cake is better than anything you can get from a bakery in town. read more

We made a reservation here for our anniversary, and they treated us well! Service was great. We had a cocktail and mocktail, the calamari, the pork schnitzel, the filet, and the peanut butter chocolate pie and chocolate amaretto cake for dessert! Everything was so tasty, even the vegetable medley! Very small, low ceilings, intimate, perfect for a special occasion. read more

Quaint, family-owned restaurant with great food and exceptional service. Loved the feel and ambiance of the intimate dining room. Tenderloin, chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly. Veggies were crisp and flavorful and drinks were superb. Service was positively excellent! read more

One night I consumed chicken medallions and another night I enjoyed pork chops. I also have tried the cherry cobbler. Everything I have ordered there is second to none. The service is professional and the atmosphere is elegant, yet heartwarming. I look forward to returning. read more

I have came here a couple different times and the atmosphere is always so moody in such a good way. I've only ever gotten the lamb chops, but they are so tender and the cherry sauce that they glaze it with is amazing. I believe the atmosphere is perfect for a date night. The only reason I am doing a four star is because my girlfriend has never really liked anything she's had but she's also very picky. read more

The menu is diverse. The food quality was great. The preparation was excellent. From cocktails (very different but well prepared) to great entrees to excellent house-made desserts, Legends was really excellent. Reasonably priced, great service (thank you Kiki) all made for a very memorable night! I give LegendFive Stars ***** read more

Loved the ambiance of this place. From the outside, I would've never expected that much charm and character on the inside. Service was friendly but... The wedge salad came with a grilled tomato. I prefer to have fresh cherry or diced tomatoes with my wedge salad. Also the blue cheese dressing was watery and no fresh blue cheese curds :( My honey got the chicken crepe and it was just ok. The hollandaise sauce was overpowering and the crepe was swimming in it. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo (I know but it's something I hadn't had in forever so I thought I'd see what kind of fanciness I would get) and was disappointed that the pasta was nothing exciting and the shrimp I added for an extra $8 was not flavorful. read more

Haven't been to Legends in quite a long time. We celebrated our wedding anniversary there last week and it couldn't have been better. We sat by the piano and the music was perfect. I loved my sea bass and the desserts are absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to go back. read more

Still good! Been here a long time. No lore salad bar which is a bit disappointing but entree's are still good. Old school and not much else has changed. Service can be a little better. read more

The food was out of this world! Everything was a 10/10. We also had the best server he constantly made sure that we liked the food and that we didn't need anything else. This place is so fun for Norman and definitely on the nicer side! read more

Legend's serves appetizers, main course items, and beverages...however, many would say their desert menu is what brings them back. The excellently decorated interior is the perfect setting for family celebrations as well as professional gatherings. The food comes out perfect every time! read more

My grown children took me to Legends last night for my birthday. Fifty years ago, I sat at the very same table for my 21st birthday. It was just as special! The drinks were fast and right, the food was tremendous. Our table had steak, duck and two chicken entrees. Everyone devoured their dishes! My duck was prepared perfectly, the side potatoes were insane. French onion soup- indulgent. Desserts were outstanding. Server was sweet and approachable, very efficient. The Piano Man did his thing- love him! Wonderful night! Thank you, Legends, for never disappointing this customer for half a century. read more

Legends is a Norman gem. Elegant dining, with fabulous service. This is one of the few places to bring your out-of-town guests, for birthdays or other special occasions. Great art, low lights, candles and a talented piano player. All the entrees and specials I've had are excellent and the desserts are over the moon good. Can't say enough good things about this Norman landmark. read more

This was my second time to Legends. My family went for my birthday dinner. This place is such a gem. From the beginning it feels like walking into grandmas house. The atmosphere is quiet and has a cozy vibe. Everyone from the hostess to servers are extremely friendly. Now, the food. My family and I each ordered differently on the menu from pasta, to chicken, to fish and each tried each others. Everything was so delicious! We also got desserts to go which was also very tasty! Everything about this restaurant is my favorite. I highly recommend! read more

We had a wonderful Pre-Valentine's Cocktail testing tonight. The cocktail creations were truly unique and delicious. The bites of food served with it were very well matched and quite substantial. The atmosphere was cheerful and it looked like people were having a good time. The servers were delightful but had to deal with an occasional delay of food or drinks, which was a little surprising since Legends is known for hosting private events. But however, it wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately, what put a real damper on it at the end was the slice of their lemon cake. It's a favorite of mine and I was looking forward to it. The slice was half the size it used to be for the same price. I understand that prices go up and I expected that a cut might be less than it used to be but my slice wasn't even half and smaller than my friend's. What a great disappointment. This restaurant truly cares how it is perceived by its clientele and their response is highly appreciated making it read more

Came here for my birthday and they were awesome. The food is so great and our server, Elias, was exceptional. Very attentive and friendly!

Tonight was definitely an off night. My schnitzel was swimming in grease. My husband's lasagna roll was also in a plate of grease. Not good at all. read more

We went here for my wife's birthday and the atmosphere is always warm and cozy. We both had the filet with bernaise sauce and mushrooms. I think it was the most tender steak I've ever had. It melts in your mouth and a knife is really not needed. Our server Tyson was top rate, very professional with great timing. He cleared our plates quietly and made us feel very pampered. Great service! Great food, we will be back. Make a reservation and ask for Tyson! read more

Long established place here in Norman. Good food. Our New Years tradition since moving here.

My wife and I had dinner here on 7/26/25 and it was outstanding. Our waitress, Toni, was awesome. She recommended the crispy chicken thighs for dinner and an ice cream/brandy sundae for dessert and they were both fabulous. We will definitely be back. read more

The best restaurant experience in Norman thus far! We were greeted promptly and warmly before being seated immediately. Our server Cassandra redefined the word "customer service." She was warm, friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the menu and treated us like we were the most important people in the restaurant. We will definitely return and will only be seated in her section! The food was served exactly as ordered and was prepared with passion and expertise. If I could give our experience 10 stars I certainly would! We will definitely be returning as often we can. read more

My husband and I ate here for our first wedding anniversary. All of the staff made us feel so special! White tablecloth, free dessert, and personalized note on the receipt.

We are in town for a special event. Found this restaurant thru yelp reviews. Overall, it was a good experience. Service was good. Everyone in our party enjoyed the warm rolls, their meal., especially dessert. Live piano entertainment and birthday celebrations were abundant. I did notice that the utensils were old and scratched. Time to replace them so they correctly complement the linens. Sometimes it's the little things that make a difference. read more

We've only been here one time, and the service was good and the food is excellent. I had the certified Angus petite fillet. it comes with salad side and potato for the one price of $40. Quite a bargain compared to some of the à la cart steakhouses. My husband felt the same way. He just had a different steak, a larger one. We will definitely go there again! We shared lemon cake for dessert. Although it was good, it wasn't as good as the steaks. read more

Eva, along with Joe and Rebecca, has got a bit of magic happening at one of Norman's longest running premier dining establishments. My personal favorite is the Denver Steak but nothing really beats their dessert offering. Just walking by them, as you enter into a tastefully and beautifully decorated (a family member's exquisite paintings) main dining room, entices the taste buds that they're in for an incredibly delicious meal. The servers know what they're doing. Professional, precise and punctual. Legend's rocks! read more

Went with family I hadn't seen in decades. I'm not a big steak eater but the waitress steered me to the Denver Steak which she said was particularly juicy. It was very flavorful. Also had a wedge salad. The blue cheese was particularly note worthy. The only downside was it was loud and with a piano player, it was hard to talk. read more
