The server who was moving to Port Townsend in two weeks was extremely nice sharp a beautiful personality We had to wait for our fried chicken because they had not prepared it quick enough I have to admit it was good it was very very slow in there I think there was only one other couple but I would give it a five star rating and I would go back because it had a wonderful ambience read more

My best friend and I decided to check out Legion because we kept hearing about it and wanted to see what the hype was about. I made a reservation ahead of time, but when we got there around 8 pm we realized we probably didn't need one because it was seat yourself and still pretty open. No complaints though, it made it easy to grab a table and settle in. The vibe was cool. Definitely a sports bar feel with TVs around, and as the night went on the DJ started getting set up which I can imagine makes it a fun spot on a Friday night for people meeting up after work or hanging out with friends. We decided to share a few things so we could try a little bit of everything. We ordered the catfish bites, lemon pepper wings, garlic parmesan wings, and macaroni and cheese. I'll start with the positives because the service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. Food-wise, it just didn't totally hit for me. The catfish bites had a really tasty batter, but the texture threw me off a little. I personally like my catfish cooked a little harder, and these were a bit soft for my liking. The lemon pepper wings were a little too salty for me, and the wings themselves weren't cooked quite the way I like them. I tend to like my wings cooked a little harder, so these felt a bit soft and bulky to me (if that makes sense). The garlic parmesan wings were okay flavor-wise, but still similar in texture. The macaroni and cheese was okay. Nothing bad, just pretty standard. The menu itself has a good mix of comfort food and bar favorites like chicken and waffles, shrimp & grits, burger & fries....so there are definitely options to try. Overall, the service were great, the vibe was cool and I can definitely see this being a fun spot once the DJ gets going and the place fills up. The food just didn't quite land for me personally this time. I gave it 3 stars, but if Yelp allowed half stars it would probably be closer to a 3.5 for me. I'd still be open to coming back and trying a few other things on the menu. read more

Legion Sports Bar - Mac & Cheese and Catfish bites - Soul Food Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The food was really good and much higher scale than any other sports bar. The food is delicious and they have dedicated gluten free and dairy free items on the menu at the restaurant. It doesn't tell you that on their website menu, but there are a number of options ranging from salads, soups, burgers and more that are gluten free. They also offer a great lunch special that includes soup, salad and entree for $23 and it's a lot of food. No small portions. The parking garage is free with validation M-F during the day. The service was really good and it would be a fun atmosphere for watching sports. The seating options are nice as well. They offer booths, tables, high tops, and bar seating. My only suggestion is maybe add more detailed menu information to the website. The online menu just states the menu item name, but it doesn't say what items are GF or dairy free. It also doesn't say much about general ingredients in menu items like salads. Would also be super cool to see more Seahawks memorabilia in the restaurant. But such a great place too. read more

Neighborhood bar that is casual and so easy-going to stop in and have casual drink if you're not in mood for fancy schmancy dinner places in Lincoln / Bellevue Square. I have to admit I was pretty devastated when Pearl (previous bar in this location) closed down, but ever since I discovered Legion with my friends I have been coming here whenever I'm in the area and this is now my favorite bar. I don't know where they find servers and bartenders but they're the most nicest and funniest people exuding positive energy to customers. Honestly Bellevue crowd can be dry and dull sometimes at other restaurants and bars in the area, Not here! Always good times. If you're just in mood to grab some appetizers and drinks I recommend their wings they got them wings perfected that goes great with beer or cocktails. If you have a group and can't decide on individual drinks, get a Bammarita to share and you will be guaranteed a good time. They make it strong and delicious. As a long time Downtown Bellevue resident and now a frequent visitor, I've seen many Bellevue restaurants and bars that try to do too much and it ends up missing the mark with vibe and service with mediocre food, hefty price. Legion is doing a great job delivering good food, drinks while giving the easy, comfortable neighborhood bar in town. Park in Lincoln Square and just take the elevator or walk across from Bellevue Square! read more

Great spot to drink beer and watch games all day. Oh there's some good food to grub on as well. Plenty of seating and a rather large bar. I wanted to try one of everything but stuck with deviled eggs, jambalaya, and cornbread with honey butter. The deviled eggs were good but would be great if fried. Jambalaya is always choice you know there was nothing left on the plate. And by god that cornbread was outta bounds. Crispy and fluffy and just all around delicious. I think it's attached to a mall so dudes can stop in while their significant others shop away. Or at least that's what I did haha. read more

Food was pretty good, and it was a sports bar, earlier in the day Saturday so wasn't busy but kinda loud for the college games. Service coulda been better, server coulda touched the table more. Waited for a lot of the time while we were there. 4 stars for service. read more

I waffle between a 2 and 3 star. I've been here before 3 years ago and had an equally poor experience with service, but the food was also meh. This time service was poor but the food was good. We had a group of 6. All arriving between 5-5:30 before Happy Hour ended at 6. The waitress took an extraordinarily long time to take each of our orders after each of us arrived. We also did not get any water or napkins or utensils with our Happy Hour meals without having to request them. I arrived at 5:00, and did not get my food and drink until 5:50. Partly because the system happened to be down when our waitress took my order the first time so had to retake my order again 15 minutes later. But, our waitress was MIA for long periods of time, nowhere to be seen. And, note the bar was NOT crowded. There were all of maybe 3 other tables. Our waitress also happened to clear one of our friend's half drunken drinks while our friend had gone to the bathroom. I also decided I better order my second Happy hour drink at 5:59 so I could get my second drink at a reasonable time. Unfortunately that backfired because I got it right on the heels of my first drink. Go figure. I gave them a 3 star rating only because we enjoyed the food but they need to improve their service. Water should be offered as a pre-requisite along with silverware if food is ordered that requires cutlery. And don't clear drinks that are half full, especially when the customer is not there. Oh, I doubt I'll be going back. It's been a disappointment two times and nothing I can't stand more than a place that appears to sit on its on its laurels with its celebrity reputation. I prefer businesses to earn my business. read more

Nut allergy friendly: No issues with anything I had. Time to Food: ~8 Minutes Happy Hour weekdays from 3-5PM or reverse late night happy hour Friday/Saturday 10pm-close I arrived around 7PM on a Thursday and got to sit myself anywhere. Entrance is down across from the Westin, near the public parking. Lot of TVs inside and it is decently loud with the sound of whatever sports game is playing. I was approached reasonably quickly and informed that they were almost out of oxtail and a certain appetizer. I got the gumbo (they only had two left when I was there) and the cornbread. - Gumbo (4/5): Great portions, very flavorful spice. I thought the sausage was a little tough but overall I really enjoyed the seasoning and mix of proteins. - Cornbread (3.5/5): Again, excellent big portion. It was a tad sweet for me, being a texture similar to a creme brulee where they caramelize the top. I thought it was slightly too grainy of a texture but I think some people would really enjoy this, and it's very sharable. Really polite service all around and solid portions for Southern bar food. I paid via inKind with a referral credit with no issues. read more

Usually this is a great place but our last experience left a bad taste in our mouths-no pun intended. We arrived had a half hour before HH ended and wanted to be seated in the bar. We had to wait for 15 minutes in the lobby. We were finally shown a table and were unattended to for another 10 minutes. Our window of time to be able to order HH prices was shrinking and then it hit a few minutes to 6pm. The table next to us asked their waitress if it was too late to order from the HH menu, she said yes BUT she would charge them HH prices (maybe because they were short staffed?) So we thought great! We decided to do ask our waitress (different person), and got a straight up "No. It's past 6." Are you freaking kidding me? We would have been a little more understanding if the staff was more consistent across the board with customers requests. We got up and left. Not cool. read more

Legion Sports Bar - Entrance - Soul Food Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The food needs improvement. I visited for the first time yesterday and was thoroughly disappointed. The chicken wings I ordered were over fried. In fact our entire table was disappointed with their meal. The issues ranged from item unavailability to overall quality issues. My friend ordered beignets and they tasted like croissants with barely any powdered sugar. The service was amazing. This place could be amazing but with the subpar food and high prices, I won't be back until changes are made . read more

I gave this Restauraunt a couple of chances not because of the owners or names associated with Legion, but because it's southern. Being from North Carolina and them being located in a great spot in Bellevue, expectations were higher than the average. Yesterday was my second time dining there both times making reservations. I don't know if it was because we were there at lunchtime 30 minutes after Restauraunt opening hours , but both times they seem severely understaffed. I think a waitress was the hostess, bartender and server. It definitely takes longer than most to get service and your order. The food is subpar nothing to really brag about or crave to visit again. I wish them nothing but success It's just not on my top list of places to dine. read more

Had a great time at Legion Sports Bar! I came in on Wednesday, 4/30 around 6pm and was really impressed with the service. There was only one server working the floor (I think his name started with a "D"), and he was awesome--super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming and smooth. I ordered the deviled eggs with shrimp and the chopped chicken honey jerk sandwich. Let me tell you--that honey jerk sandwich was amazing! Perfect balance of sweet and spicy, juicy, and full of flavor. The fries that came with it were a bit of a miss (cold and a little hard), but honestly, the sandwich more than made up for it. Definitely looking forward to coming back--and shoutout to the server holding it down solo with such great energy! read more

The food came out quickly and hot, good bar food to eat while watching college football. A lot to choose from off the menu. The service at the bar was excellent. Thanks Dez for your recommendation on the catfish nuggets and burger. The drink she made was so delicious and on point. Thumbs up for her skills. Nice place to watch the game and the atmosphere was amazing. Must try place if you're visiting. read more

Bottom line up front: the place/vibe is fun. The food is just ok. Went there for a birthday party, we had one server for about 25 people. He did a great job. Very nice and attentive. Ambiance is super fun, great vibes. Food: we had the shrimp and grits (4 smallllll shrimps) and not great flavor. Smash burgers, good flavor but the meat to bun ratio didn't go together. It was like slider burgers on a regular sized bun. Didn't enjoy that. Hush puppies didn't have flavor. The crawfish nuggets however were delicious. The deviled eggs with bacon were ok. Wouldn't come back to eat, maybe just for a drink and to watch the game. read more

Typically, I share lots of food photos but visit was a catered event. So the food was a buffet which was not okay for photos. We were in a private room and the buffet was outside the room to the side. The buffet offered all the items you could purchase off the menu. Fried catfish, steak and potatoes, collard greens, Mac and cheese, grilled veggies. The best things in the entire buffet was the steak and potatoes. The meat was so tender and the potatoes were roasted to perfection. The grilled vegetables was yummy too. We had a waitstaff person designated to our area and he was very attentive. I want to go back to have a full experience. read more

We showed up to watch Monday night football for drinks before we had a movie in Lincoln Square. I had a great espresso martini and my friend enjoyed a seasonal cocktail. Our server was friendly, and provided fast service. The place was empty, and I am disappointed on how this place has not taken off for sporting events. Maybe the weekend is busier. The restaurant was clean and the TVs provided a great view from any seat. I would suggest as a Washington and privately own restaurant that the wine menu feature more local wines and options. I love wine and would bring my own if I returned for dinner. read more

Came back to Legion as a returning customer and had another great experience! I arrived just before closing and was warmly welcomed by Julian, who was my server that evening. He was an absolute sweetheart; super attentive, professional, and clearly passionate about what he does. I initially ordered the gumbo, but there was a mix-up and they were out. Julian handled the situation with such grace and professionalism, even bringing over his supervisor to make sure I was taken care of. I ended up switching to the jambalaya, and honestly, it was delicious! No regrets at all. Excellent service, good vibes, and tasty food--I'll definitely be back again. Thanks again, Julian, for ending my night on such a positive note! read more

We had such a good time watching the Seahawks game at Legion Sports Bar! Even for a 10am game, the place was full of energy. The DJ kept things lively with great music during commercial breaks, and we got free raffle tickets -- I even won a T-shirt! Our server, Jacob, was the sweetest -- super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. When the game ended, the staff surprised everyone with sparklers and a big Go Hawks celebration. The whole restaurant was chanting -- it felt like a mini stadium moment. The food is delicious! You've got to try the collard greens! We also loved the chicken and waffles, mac & cheese, and shrimp & grits. And for dessert, don't skip a beignet or some peach cobbler -- such perfect southern treats! Whether it's game day or just any day you want good food and a fun atmosphere, Legion Sports Bar is the place to go. I'd 100% recommend it for watching sports, enjoying southern comfort food, or grabbing a smash burger. This spot really knows how to make every visit a good time! read more

Finally got a chance to stop by Legion, and unfortunately we were very disappointed. We were really hoping this would be a solid spot for food, drinks, and watching a game. The restaurant wasn't very busy, yet our food still took about 30 minutes to come out. Service was slow and not good at all, and no one really checked on us throughout the visit. We ordered wings and a burger. The wings arrived cold, and we also found a long strand of hair in the fries. Thankfully, a manager happened to be walking by as my husband noticed it and was pulling it out. She took the plate back, brought out a replacement, and comped it, which we appreciated. However, after that, no one followed up with us, including the manager, which added to the disappointment. The burger itself was good, but the wings were cold and dry. Overall, the experience fell well short of what we were expecting, especially considering the slow service and lack of attentiveness. read more

Would never go back or recommend. Went last night with a few girlfriends and it took over 40 minutes just to get our drinks and about the same time our food came out which was just a salad and fries. My glass was dirty and my plain vodka soda tasted fruity and had pink stuff on the outside. There was only one server who had to expo and bartend as well.. why only schedule one employee for a valentines weekend? Not to mention there were 2 dirty tables when we walked in and they were not cleaned off for over an hour, gross. This business will not survive, especially in Bellevue. Seems like poor management and inexperienced staff. read more

First time in . I was impressed with the decor and ambiance. Love how the bar is sectioned off so if you want to be social, you can. I ordered more than I thought and had a great attentive server Hailey. She gave recommendations and was very personable. I went for brunch and had cornbread buttermilk pancakes and a side of bacon. She suggested getting bacon inside but they were filling enough. I stayed for the game so I had the wings jerk honey w a lavender drink called Sittin pretty. It was good and priced right. She made sure my water was refilled and I got some beignets to go I loved how the powder was on the side for me to add. The only thing that was missing was napkins in the bag which was odd. I'll definitely be back because I liked how the place wasn't as obnoxious and the crowd was diverse. The prices were what I expected from an upscale place but the taste matched. read more

Last time we were in Seattle we decided to take a trip to Bellevue and check out happy hour. Drinks were top notch and not watered down.

Also want to say the staff is very friendly and the service was outstanding! read more

One of the coolest sports bars I have been to in a long time! Great location right across from the Westin in downtown Bellevue. Me and my team went here for a lunch meeting. Had aps & lunch. Apps were the gilled cauliflower, chicken wings and catfish nuggets! ALL WERE AWESOME! The nuggets were moist, tons of flavor, chicken wings were flash fried with just the right amount of seasoning, cauliflower was great, with just a small amount of spice to it! I had the smash burger....SO GOOD! Beef was seasoned great, good sear, and I paired it with the garlic fries! NOW FOR THE COOL PART. We are sitting there laughing having a good time, then RICHARD SHERMAN & CLIFF AVRIL walk in! Being a huge Seahawks fan I was geeking out but my inner voice said "Andrea don't just run over there, be cool, they are just people"...so I left them alone! I wanted to scream HEY SHERM...but that would have probably gotten me thrown out! My fiancé is such a huge Seahawks fan, he will completely lose it when I tell him about this!!

We went here for Monday Night Trivia - Geeks Who Drink. I believe it was the inaugural event. Unfortunately, they couldn't get the screens working so it was a bit of a struggle to share one phone with 5 people to participate. Hopefully they'll get it together by next week because the quiz overall was fun and interesting. While the bar has a sports motif, it was kind of lost on me not being a huge sports fan. But I could definitely see bringing a group of friends for a Sunday game. Very comfortable seating in many formats, booths, tables, high tops. Looks like they have some open mic nights. I will check that out. Happy hour drinks were reasonably priced and the wait staff was great. Nice and friendly and very helpful. We were there early so not sure what it's like when it gets really busy. The food: it's bar food. I wouldn't go here strictly for the dining. It's an overall experience. I got the deviled eggs, the crab cakes and the hush puppies (I like appies for dinner). The eggs were delicious. The crab cakes were good, not great, but good. The hush puppies...well I sent those back because fried balls of cornmeal (BIG ONES) are not hush puppies. Don't waste your calories on those. The Legion Little Ribs and cornbread are decent and my friends enjoyed the Cajun Pasta. I'll go back for trivia night and try more food because I'm sure some dishes are better than others. read more

Overpriced small portions mediocre menu. It was never run properly and was destined to fail from the beginning.

Lovely weekday happy hour to check out with girlfriends. A nice selection of foods and drinks for affordable prices. Service was great: attentive but also gave us the space we needed. We got there around 4 and there were only a few other patrons. We walked past Earls and STK and a few other places that were packed at this time. It's off the main road making it harder to see and I'm assuming, overlooked by people just walking around looking for a place to grab food. Absolutely get the honey butter cornbread. It's delicious.

I was pretty disappointed considering all the hype. My family and I went there for dinner so I don't know if they're better known for their late night parties? I absolutely love the Seahawks and I really really wanted to love this place and was excited to eat here but sadly, everything was mediocre. The food was ok, it wasn't bad but nothing really stood out. Our favorite was probably the Cajun pasta and we got to try something new (I forgot what they called it but they looked like liver meatballs) There were 6 of us but we were seated at a small booth that would've been comfortable for 4 people. The chair upholstery looked old too. Service was good. Some parts of the place were pretty cool. They had a Legion wall and cool posters of athletes at the entrance. They also had a replica of the Lombardi trophy. read more

I really like Legion Sports Bar. Legion is like if a steak house and a sports bar collaborated - heavy on the wood furniture, classy, mix of high and low tables, and football related art. Legion was founded by Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor (with restauranteur Leilani Wong) so yes, it is a true sports bar with nice paintings. It won't beat you over the head with the football theme, but if you know, you know. There are plenty of monitors so no bad views of games. On this particular day I went with a dear friend of mine who has mobility issues. She was able to navigate through the restaurant with her walker with ease. We sat at a low table and we were the only people there for the first hour. We came shortly after opening. Our waiter was also the bartender - an approachable, warm, attentive gentleman who exhibited some of the best serving skills I've not seen outside of Canlis. Seriously - he was amazing. He not only repeated our orders but he double checked after the food was served to ensure it was exactly right. He seemed genuinely committed to making our dining experience excellent. The food was amazing. I ordered the smash burger and it was soooo good. Juicy, flavorful, cheesy burger deliciousity. My friend ordered the bacon smash but only one patty and we both commented the burger to bun ratio was perfect. It was a little messy but nothing the napkin couldn't clean. I ordered the cornbread with honey butter upgrading from the fries. In no way did that make sense to me in the moment but I am a sucker for great cornbread. I gotta say - not sure if I can go back. The cornbread was so good! Soft, sweet, spongy - it was like having dessert. I tried not to eat the whole thing. I failed. I drank a margarita - our bartender server made amazing drinks. I highly recommend! read more

All Menus should state that there's automatic gratuity added to your transaction. Our service was slow, not attentive, things were forgotten multiple times. Food was alright, nothing to come back and visit for and they were on a limited menu. Cool memorabilia around the restaurant, clean and good playlist of music. Not impressed and two smash burgers + fries, a soda and lemonade + a "happy hour" side of wings ended up being almost $90 with their automatic fees, taxes, and the screen still asked us to tip more. read more

Hoping to find a good place in Bellevue, but there's a real problem with the kitchen. The nachos should have been easy, but they overcooked the chips. Laughably so. The kitchen shipped it.
