“ Always nice people, especially Jeff the bartender :)! Love going in here, the food is good and it's a no-frills, fun place to have a meal or a cocktail -and their patio is really nice too! ”
“ First time playing golf there and had fun once we figured out the direction of the course. After nine holes went to the grill and had lunch, very good. Two thumbs up to the staff also. ”
“ We love to watch the wildlife and golfers. When the weather is nice the patio is perfect for enjoying lunch and a beverage. ”
“ Stopped in for a drink prior to motel check in. Great service and friendly patrons. Wish we new it was fried chicken night but we already had dinner plans. Chicken looked great. If our travels ever take us to Edwardsville again, we'll be back. ”
“ We (4 adults, 4 kids from 2 to 13) went for Friday night fish fry. All the food was great. The staff are very sweet. The drink prices are ridiculously low. A fine time was had by all. Highly recommend. ”
“ There is no better fried chicken (Thursdays) on this side of Kentucky - including Kentucky. Moreover, if you love fish on Friday, the “Legion” is the place to be. They have cod and (my favorite) catfish. The “cat” is hard to find - it very hard to find when so perfectly prepared and as you like. By the way... the “make you feel welcome” service is outstanding. ”
“ I really enjoyed the Blue Grass festival. There was a nice area set up for the children to play. There is a spectacular fireworks display in July. I enjoyed the company of the patrons as well as the staff. The tacos are delicious here! Special's for tacos are on Tuesday. ”
“ The best fried chicken around every Thursday. Good fish on Friday. Cold beers and friendly people. Can get busy so go early or be patient. Offers carry out too. ”
