Legends Tavern — Restaurant in St. Thomas

We are from out of town stayed at local hotel. Decided to try this place based on the reviews and online menu. Parking is behind restaurant. Across the street from the lot ...there is a homeless shelter. Which is fine!.. but there were about over a dozen people there. Some unfortunately were on drugs and acting out..A bunch laying and sitting in alley way etc. Which was all fine until they started cat calling at us as we walked away from our vehicle. Didn't feel safe. Anyways not the restaurants fault but felt uncomfortable leaving my vehicle there. We go inside got seated at a table.. was uncomfortable and some lightning was out. Can't read menu..getting old.. Anyways I asked waitress if we can move next to us to a booth. They had 3 empty 1 occupied. The place wasn't busy. Maybe 20% full more people outside on patio listening to live music I guess. We preferred indoors for peace. Waitress asks manager if we can move. Manager says no. I ask why? She had an attitude and wasn't pleasant and says NO! I asked well why not? She began to come up with some strange excuses about this girls turn and whatever. I'm guessing since its slow its someone else's turn to make a tip?. Anyways then proceeds to offer a booth by a window in a dark corner area further away and isolated. We accepted but i didn't understand as a paying customer why i couldn't just move 2 feet over next to us.. Nicely lite spacious booth etc. Not my problem about how you work out tips and customers.. The place was dead! there were 4 booths and 3 empty were we wanted to sit. Anyways we moved to the further booth. About 5 mins later a bigger older man was sat in 1 of the 3 the booths we would of liked.!?

The waitress took our drink orders. When she came back the booth next to us complained because the lights went out completely..well it was obvious to us someone hit a light switch. Our waitress told them its a burnt light bulb.. we all sat in dark.. then they said as well as I ..that it can't be a burnt bulb as the whole row of lights went out like the flip of a switch. About 30secs later the lights switched back on. I think staff in kitchen were goofing off I could hear them singing loudly and acting up.. like horseplaying.. anyways our waitress dropped off drinks and never came back. I kitchen staffer dropped off out food. Which was great. He was acting konda goofy too..didn't understand the humor. must be bored back there. Our food was good. We ate our food. Then we sat around waiting for over 20mins fo a bill. I finally see our waitress go outside to patio.never checked in.. seems like we were forgotten. Finally I made eye contact with a different waitress and told her.. Could you tell our waitress to get our bill? She didn't even stop but acknowledged us and went into kitchen.. but before then she abruptly talked for a sec to what appeared to be a manager. Manager looks over so I asked can we get the bill? She kinda ignores us and resumed doing napkins and untensils.. I told the wife forget iur leftovers.. now I was getting annoyed.. I walked up to podium with debit machine and waited with my wife and daughter. Finally oir waitress appears with our bill and I went to pay. I noticed only 3 options the tip was automatically set to either 18% and i believe 22% and 25%.. I'm usually a good tipper i even top 30%+ if warranted. But I manually inputted 15% .. didn't even deserve that. Its like staff and manager didn't care.. at all probably get tipped anyways. Waitress didn't really serve us? just our drinks.. tip should of went to guy that came out of kitchen.. Anyways Service sucked.. 0/10 Food 8.5/10 Atmosphere 7/10. Won't...

It was Victoria Day and my family and I went out to St. Thomas to the Elevation Park that evening. It was cool, late and we were hungry. We were going to a normal spot and noticed Legends Tavern was open and there were daily deals at 8:30pm. Other restaurants that begins at 9pm, this was a welcomed bonus. We parked in the back which was free. We entered and was greeted with in a minute and seated immediately. It was a great spot for a sporting fan with all the TV screens pretty much 360 view. Our server Ally was very nice and took our drink orders and got us the nightly and daily promotions. It was Monday and it was 1/2 pound burger at $11.49. My youngest got it (he devoured it like he had not ate in days). We got couple of apps on special, nachos (one of the best I have ever had), then the Potato Skin (loaded and also the best I have ever had), my wife had the steak and soup of day, a rich lovely of cheddar bacon potato hearty gem, (it was fantastic for her). I had the Wing deal at $0.99, with the new Wild Fire (as a hot sauce extreme heat lover I was loving it.) I have to mention the side my son had with his burger, the fries. When the seasoned fries on the table was one of the most amazing parts on the table you know this restaurant will be amazing. I almost forgot about the guy, server who help bring the food out that night. He was so great with the few seconds in bringing the food. I watched him throughout the hour and a half and he was performing his duties and cleaning up in the greatest of attitudes which was like he really loved working there. It is great to see in the service industry people like that. It adds to the experience of dinning. And I like the bathroom simple because of the actual hot water in the taps. It is such a turn off when washing your hand in frigid water. Warm water and soap works best for hygiene and the staff you know will have clean hand and everyone who goes through there. Small but impressive to this guy. I extremely recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. 500 Talbot St, St. Thomas, 519-637-1567. There are a few restaurants I have left reviews for and this is one of the best, the top places that delivers that line, "Taste if King!" Check...

TL;DR: If you’re in St. Thomas and craving a spot where the wings slap, the potato skins hit like a warm hug, and the Caesar’s done right; Legends is your joint. Go after 8:30pm for half priced app menu. Bring friends. Order everything.

There’s something refreshingly honest about a place like Legends Tavern in St. Thomas. No pretense. No slicked-back waiter asking if you’ve dined with them before. Just a cold drink, a sticky tabletop, and a kitchen that knows exactly what it is: a temple of unapologetic bar food.

Let’s start with the wings, because that’s what legends are made of. I went half-and-half; classic fried and their house “Legends Sauce,” which frankly deserves its own roadside attraction sign. That sauce? A sticky, tangy, slightly sweet enigma that clings to the wing like a bad decision you’d happily make twice. Somewhere between a barbecue confession and a hot-sauce prayer, it hits that sacred space in the Venn diagram of craveable and dangerous. The fried wings? Golden-brown knuckle-dusters of flavor. *chefs kiss 🤌

Loaded potato skins were exactly what you’d expect. Melted cheese, bacon crumbles, green onions - pure bar alchemy. Each bite was like diving headfirst into a carb-fueled nostalgia trip with a sidecar of ranch. This is the kind of dish you eat with your hands, grease on your fingers and zero apologies.

Now here’s the kicker: Half-price apps after 8:30pm. It’s not just a deal, it’s an invitation to stay late, drink deep, and order more than you should. Because places like Legends aren’t about moderation; they’re about community, comfort, and the kind of meals that remind you why bar food, when done right, is a love letter to...
