Best Bbq in Queens! Best bar in Queens! Can't wait to see how this place evolves with Coach at the helm.
I was honestly hoping for a lot more after reading everyone's experiences here. I ordered the $35 sampler and some beer when I got here. The food had a great rub on everything but some things were bland, and no matter how good the chicken tasted, it was almost rock hard dry in some spots and tender and juicy in other parts which basically made me pick at it and toss most of it. The brisket probably would have been good if I had some condiments to compliment the meat, but there was nothing like a BBQ sauce or something to dress it with. The waitress came over after a while and asked us if we wanted to take the majority of the plate home..I said no.. She didn't looked surprised to hear that, which solidified my doubts about the food. done deal.
Came here to watch Game 1 of the NBA Finals with some friends, and everything was fine with viewing the game and all, but yo, the barbecue is no joke! I unfairly had kinda low expectations for the food, but those expectations got passed and then some. The brisket ($18 for a platter + side) was very very very tender, and even though I'd prefer my sauce on the side, the sauce was not nearly as intrusive as I feared at first. Curly fries were solid as mandated by all that is good in the world, and the onion rings were excellent too.
Our group stuck out in the local crowd like a sore, Warriors-cheering thumb, but service was just fine. Drink selections are of course toned down, but the well drinks we ordered were more than fair when it came to strength. Overall, I was a bit intimidated coming in, but the experience at Legends was more than I could have hoped for!
my friend wanted to go to this place based on what he ate here a few years ago. so a few of us decided to go here to have some texas roadhouse bbq and watch the football game.
when we asked the bartender where the other menu is he said oh its not roadhouse bbq anymore… that should have been our cue to go somewhere else… but we were like you know what we are here why not try it out…
the inside had a typical bar atmosphere.. i personally did not visit the bathroom but it s a male/female bathroom… so there is a wall on the inside that has a divider between toilet and a urinal… for us girls that is just weird…
so basically i held in my bathroom needs until i got back home..
… some negatives
the bar drinks and food bill had to be paid separately… the food can only be paid in cash… while bar can be done on a card.. they do not have an atm in the facility..
i ordered a pulled pork sandwich… it came as is… but it did not have that "pulled pork" look… had a lot of fatty parts to it… basic lettuce and tomato on a roll…. nothing to special…
drinks were in a plastic cup… which it was not a busy afternoon and while sitting eating id prefer glass… plastic is for clubs or a large amount of people…
my friend ordered the ribs and said that they were nothing special
another friend ordered roasted chicken… and it was more like pan fried chicken the only thing that looked better was the chicken fajitas..
next time we will know better..
Legends is seriously a happy sleeper surprise.
On a Sunday, I & friends got to watch the Giants game. We ordered the brisket sandwich. I was prepared for average and it blew me away. I was unexpectedly surprised how good the food was. The bartender was extremely attentive. There were a lot of people and even the ones that did not like my team were enjoyable.
The bartender gave a good friend of mine a Giant's glass to keep. It was really a nice touch after a heartbreaking loss. These people really try and they are class acts. It is a great place to have in the neighborhood!
Okay, so I don't normally hang out in bars in Jackson Heights despite my living there. I work in Manhattan, have friends in Brooklyn and the boy lives in Astoria. Jackson Heights is pretty much used by me to sleep, eat empanadas, munch on arepas and inhale taco.
But one day about a week ago I left work and went straight to my hood, was really craving an ice cold beer on the cheapsies and wanted some me alone time…now mind you I go to a bar alone maybe 2 or 3 times a year, so this occurrence is rare – so after a quick Yelp search on the app I wandered on inside…
I was a bit afraid that I was going to get pounced on by men and for awhile I did feel a bit uncomfortable being the only unaccompanied female in thew bar – but I shook that feeling off because HOLY SMOKES IT SMELLS AMAZING IN HERE!!! WAIT?! WHAT?!!! THERE IS A TEXAS BBQ THING IN THE BACK?!!!! DID I DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN!???? SMOKY, BRISKET, PULLED PORK FILLED HEAVEN!??? AY DIOS MIOOOOOOO!!! GIMMIE, GIMMIE, GIMMIE!!! I'M GONNA EAT IT ALL!!! OM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!! NOM!!!
Kay. So I came here for a beer and a beer was had – however the friendly couple next to me ordered what looked like a brisket sandwich and they split some meaty, pulled pork filled, cheesy nachos (generous servings too!) and I wanted to make them self-combust so that I could eat there food, I mean it looked and smelled THAT good.
Now from the outside this looks like your average dive bar, but whoa man. Any establishment that brings together two of my favorite food groups (*ahem* Beer and BBQ meats) is something I am fully ready to endorse 365 days a year.
Gotta come back here soon with my college-aged sister in tow. They don't card, heh.
Its a real bbq place. No frills, canned beer, bbq on paper plates if I remember correctly and its tasty. My husband and my cousin and myself went to sit down and eat.. like get down and eat.. and we had a great time there.. eating bbq! Its just hard to find a spot around there.
Im not much of a queens movie-goer but I was in the neighborhood and met up with a couple of friends. Its a small bar nothing spectacular about it. There aren't many TV's and by the looks of the one located in manhattan, its nowhere near as nice.
The bartender I believe was the owner and he was very comical. Older gentleman and was definitely entertaining. The wings were really good and the portions are huge I was not able to finish the food.
Another plus is they charge your phone for you.
