Was really good food and the staff is very nice. I ordered the 12oz ribeye and it was so tender I could nearly pull it apart with a fork. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. Will definitely revisit next time I'm around here.

We were genuinely impressed with this cute little place! Traveling back up north and this was a good choice for dinner! The waitress was super sweet. We had onion rings, chicken fried steak, wings, and smoked chicken salad. Chicken was juicy and had great flavor! Onion rings were tasty. If you stop in Forrest City, definitely recommend Legacy!

The food was amazing. I had the filet, and that steak was some of the best I've ever had, even better than some of the traditional steakhouses. The waitress was super sweet and pretty quick on getting our orders in and recommending how soon we should probably order dessert to go. Wish we lived nearby instead of stopping by on our road trip. Definitely will be stopping by when we come through here again

We truly lucked out and found this place! We are so glad we did. Legacy definitely fit the old adage of don't judge a book by its cover. From the outside. this place is very unassuming. but inside screams "come on in and have a seat". The place is decorated in old automobile memorabilia and road signs. The service is outstanding. Our waitress was both incredibly helpful and friendly. And let's talk about the food. Country cooking the way we like it.. The chicken fried steak was amazing and my son devoured the cheeseburger. My wife's steak was cooked perfectly and the flavor was spot on. The portions were very very generous. They definitely are creating quite the "Legacy" at the little eatery. We will be back.

Great comfort food with excellent service and a nostalgic atmosphere. We travel I-40 a lot and often stay overnight in Forrest City and gave this a try. We were not disappointed. I had the Redneck steak with mashed potatoes and added a side of onion rings and everything was delicious.

We forgot to take pictures of our food but it was delicious and fresh! Right off the bat I give them a high rating for having Pepsi products. My husband had a Patty melt and onion rings and i had a bacon cheeseburger and fries. Everything was cooked to perfection and like I said before, it was fresh! I highly recommend if you want a nice atmosphere and quick service.

What a great find. We are in town for only a night and found this place and the pics lured us in. The food was so good. We both loved the fries. We had the fish & shrimp and turkey club. And yes they know how to do the bread the way I love it on the club!! Thank you!!
