Legends is an interesting little bar located in Dickson City with a western theme. It seems like it would be a happening place, but it was pretty dead when we went for their wing night. It does have an outdoor patio for smoking and a pretty big bar with some seating for eating. There were some darts and a jukebox to be played and there was a stage area for bands. I can definitely see this place a great place to hang out on the weekend or in the summer. The entire place was lined with wood and everything seemed to be in great, clean order. The waitress was not overwhelmingly fantastic, but she did her job, took our orders, and got our food in a timely manner.
I thought these wings were humongous. For $0.40, you could hardly get a better deal. I generally order 15 and eat them all, but there were so many good flavors, I sprung for 20. This was quite the mistake because these wing were so big, I barely wolfed down 14. You will be quite full after leaving this place.
They had a pretty extensive selection of flavors. Definitely a lot you’ve seen at plenty of other places, but then a couple of interesting choices thrown in the mix. We’ve been to a lot of places, so it’s not fair to say they didn’t give any flavors I haven’t seen before, but definitely options that weren’t the norm. They have a flavor for everyone here.
When I was ready to order, I had my three flavors down. I chose Chipotle Ranch, Teriyaki Ginger, and Hot. Within a split second, I decided to add Garlic Parmesan to the list because every time I go with a group of friends, I regret not getting the Garlic Parmesan. We always do some trading, but I usually only trade for one Garlic Parm. I decided to treat myself nice today by ordering my own. Well, I have to say I could have done without the Garlic Parm, they weren’t necessarily bad, but they were not as good as other places. They were a bit of a let down after I had such high expectations for them. The Teriyaki Ginger were not a let down though. They had a nice salty flavor and a great hint of ginger. The Hot was a bit of a spin of your standard hot. With some extra Italian seasoning thrown in. Chipotle Ranch were a hit. It’s more of a ranch sauce mixed with some chipotle, but both flavors came through distinctly enough. I also tried Legends House, and they were amazing. They had a sweet and sour taste to them. Though hard to describe, they were great.
Legend’s, formerly Novak’s for those who remember that, has vibe that promotes a good time. The people in the bar seemed like they were grateful that they weren’t working and were laughing making my party feel welcome. You will notice that the whole inside part of the building is wood. Floors, walls, everything is wood. The staff was friendly and there was no confusion over our order.
The wings were big. I didn’t think so when they first put on the table but when I picked one up I realized what happened. They were large and in charge. For 40 cents, it is a bargain. I get 20 wings when we go out and this was the first time since joining the Wing Men that I felt extremely full towards the end of my meal. You wont leave hungry unless you’re some kind of wildebeest.
Legends had about 13-15 different individual wing flavors. They were interesting as well. they had chipotle ranch, cajun, buffalo mustard and their Legends/House sauce which is a pineapple bbq blend. A very good variety that was much appreciated.
I ordered hot, parmesan garlic, cajun and Legend/House. The hot wings were spicy to the point where if you weren’t careful, you could have your sinuses cleared out. The parmesan garlic were what I hoped they were going to be; just butter and garlic with parmesan cheese sprinkled on. It was on op-point. The cajun were good but I was expecting and hoping for a better taste. They had good spice to them but was just lacking something. The Legends/House sauce was a pineapple bbq mix that was well balanced and loaded with flavor. Everyone at our table really enjoyed this wing. I recommend this flavor.
