Nowadays, most people do not compromise because they enjoy having it all. If you are one of those people searching for a restaurant that has it all, look no further than Legends, which prides itself on being able to satisfy anyone's taste buds with its quality food and interior design. Legends provides an intimate atmosphere which appeals to those who enjoy dining with friends or family, yet allows the customer to enter the sports world through its ESPN-infused plasma screen televisions at every corner.

Legends is known for its friendly and well-trained wait staff. My server was pleasant and readily available to make conversation. She knew the menu well enough to answer my questions on food selections and even recommended me her top choices along with an explanation on why they were so delectable. On top of that, her service was quick.

The food offered was exquisite. Legends provides a wide array of dishes on its menu. Start the meal off with spinach and artichoke dip served with tortilla chips or a combo basket, which includes chicken tenders, onion rings and mozzarella sticks. The menu includes specialty salads like the Durango salad, containing lettuce underneath a Cajun-grilled chicken breast covered with Pico de gallo, cheese, tortilla strips, guacamole, bell peppers and ranch sauce.

In addition, Legends' French fries beat all other restaurants' in this area. They simply taste amazing and are even better when dipped in ranch sauce. For my main dish, I had the turkey bacon ranch wrap, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The wrap was enormous, with the fresh turkey and lettuce fulfilling my appetite and tasting fantastic. The bacon was crisp and fried to perfection, as it ought to be. My friend ordered the peppercorn burger, a burger infused with peppercorn and topped off with bleu cheese dressing. Although I did not have the honor of tasting the burger, my friend told me it was quite delicious.

Legends offers three separate locations where diners can enjoy themselves. The first location, in Green Bay, is right off Highway 29 and attracts many business folk around lunchtime because of its prime location in the business park. The De Pere location is settled close to sports venues like the Fox River and a few golf courses, a perfect complement for the recreational diner. The Ashwaubenon location, however, finds itself right off Highway 41 near Bay Park Square Mall, the perfect dining stop for a shopper to grab a great lunch or dinner after a long day of spending money.

Another attractive feature to Legends is its brew houses. Each of the three aforementioned establishments has its own brewery where they make and serve delicious beers that are unique to their community. For example, De Pere brews and serves Scray's Hill Scottish Ale and Crocodile Lager, while Green Bay serves their special Jack Rabbit Red and Founders Wheat. Also, during Oktoberfest and Christmas the brew houses brew beers that tie into to time of year, which adds a holiday twist.

Overall, Legends hits it right on the head when it comes to having a great dining experience, as I love the atmosphere it provides. I have dined at two of their locations and have never been disappointed. The food tastes great, and the service is fast and friendly. I strongly recommend readers to enjoy a meal at any of these locations. You won't be disappointed because, ultimately, Legends has it!
