Legacy Kitchen

I've been here two times -  both for dinner - and was very impressed with the food and the service on both occasions. The first time I had chicken & waffles with pepper jelly (OMG, so delicious!!!) and the next time I had their grilled fish, which was also wonderful. My favorite thing by far is the smoked salmon dip - I could eat this as my entrée! They also have a drink called the Porch Swing that is a must try - it's tea with peach vodka and mint - perfect summer drink! The service is great - no problems with our orders, very attentive. Overall, a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back!

I've been here three times already and I have no intention of slowing that frequency down!  I think this place has a lot of potential.  I really hope that people catch on to it and help to make it successful.
From the outside, you're not sure what to expect.  It was once a Shoney's so it's hard to imagine it as fine dining spot.  However, when you walk in...you can sense the attention to detail in decor.  It's a wide open space so not very intimate but a generally pleasing space.  
Now to the food...The blue cheese chips - OMG delicious!  The salmon dip - YUM!
I had the ribs on my first trip and was very pleased with them.  Second time around, I had the chicken and waffle.  I've been to Roscoe's in LA (more than one location)Gladys Knight's in Atlanta and Sylvia's in NYC and I must say, Legacy's version of chicken and waffles is outstanding!!  It was my pleasure to devour this meal.  It is extremely filling though so be prepared to feel like a porker when you're done.  I actually saved some for dinner and was equally happy eating it the second time.
I had the Legacy Burger as Mmy entree on my third visit was not impressed, unfortunately.  I found the burger to be overcooked and the fries not very tasty.  In spite of this last experience, I still recommend this spot.  They offer a nice change from some of the other chains out in Metairie and truly serve delicious meals.  Check it out!

Excellent service, excellent food!
