Awesome meal from the “Concert Night* menu. Burnt End sandwich and a Steak Wrap. Sides of fries, and the meal was complete. Very clean place, including the restrooms! Located adjacent to the Surf Ballroom, you can’t go wrong dining here on concert night!

Nice big patio area for a perfect summer evening. Our server was kind, but not very attentive. I think this was partially because there was a gigantic group of 60-something women next to us, and they were being incredibly rude to any and all staff passing by. The seasonal salad was delicious, but I can’t for the life of me remember what my entrée was (and I was just there a few days ago). Must not have been very memorable.

I went there with my daughter and my mother. It immediately felt new and so I asked the waitress about when it opened – in May 2022.
I found the restaurant extremely clean, the service friendly and the food very good. We ordered two hamburgers and a fish sandwich. Everything tasted great and the food was delivered to our table in a very timely manner.
I travel past Clear Lake several times a year and I will definitely be stopping there again.
There is also outdoor seating but we chose to sit indoors.
Less than 10 minutes from Interstate 35.

The legacy grill is a misnomer….unless it is legendary for bad food and bad music bands.
So this place is connected to the Surf, which is in itself is a legendary venue, however The Legacy Grill does not live up to its name nor the connection to the Surf. The menu is limited which should be no big deal because there is live music. But the live music we were …eh…subjected to was on the level of a 6th grade garage band. The singer was monotone and not sure he knew all the words to the songs. The singer kinda started off a few songs mumbling. I think he was waiting for the other band members to catch up to him and figure out which song he was doing. The drums, bass and guitarist/ singer kinda did to heir own things at a few points. Not quite a cohesive group. It was actually painful to listen to at times. Sad, cuz they played a few of my favorite tunes…and I use the term ‘playied’ loosely. I had to listen a bit to recognize what song they were playing.
I almost feel guilty being so critical because I am in no way musically inclined and know it takes a lot to put yourself on stage in front of people. My bigger issue is the connection to the legendary Surf and the serious lack of talented musicians the next ght we visited. I had higher expectations. Honestly hope this type of chalkboard scratching auditory torture is not a regular occurrence.
Back to the food. The bread used for my french dip is the kind that you get off the the grocery shelf that has so many preservatives in it that you can use it for MRE rations. Stick it in a coffee can, bury it in the back yard and in 30 years should be about the same quality as the day you buried it. The AuJus was light on the AuJus and heavy on what seemed to be water. The pulled pork sandwich was about a 5 on a 0-10 scale. Not much to write home about…or write a review about. French fries were top notch. Pretzel bites were pretty good. The fresh brewed iced tea was so tart I had to mix it with a glass of water. Food presentation was honestly very nice. So if you are going for fries and pretzel bites with excellent presentation, I highly recommend. Otherwise the food alone is in not a reason to visit.
In my opinion, bad food can be overlooked if there is a good band. A bad band can be overlooked if the food was to die for. When both are bad, there is little to no reason to come back.
Music and food aside, the venue itself is nice. Nice artwork on the walls including some guitars. Dance floor in front of the stage area. Booths were comfortable.
Oddly enough I had a good time only because of the company I was with. Go figure.

Love this place. Good bar & grill (and more) food, good drinks, great music themed atmosphere, a small stage for bands, DJ’s, trivia, comedy, etc…
Located in a shared parking lot with The Surf Ballroom you can grab a bite and a cocktail before or after a show.
Get a Bloody Mary and some breakfast tacos while you check out the farmers market on Saturday mornings during the summer.
Family friendly. Great for date nights too.

We were going to eat at the Other Place, but it was packed, so we thought we’d try out Legends. We started out with just onion rings to try and thought if it was decent, we’d get something else. The menu was very limited, and the onion rings were the same that everyone in town seem to order. Nothing fancy. Will try when the farmers market is open again.

Service was great food not so much. Over cooked burger to the point of black crust. Over cooked and over breaded pickles. Shrimp po boy had no flavor. Limited menu due to having a band. Won’t be coming back.

The worst place in Clear Lake. Great location for night of a show and plenty of parking. Have given the place a couple of tries, most recently July ’22. Just when you think it’s bad, it gets worse. My sense is that this place is racing to dive bar status. It seems to be running downhill quickly. Bad bar food and I’ve gotten better service in dockside bars in Sunnyside Queens catering to the longshoreman. You’re better off buying beer at Casey’s and drinking in the parking lot. Best feature of the place is the fake graffiti “Buddy Holly Lives” on the men’s room wall copying the cover of the ’70s greatest hits album.

Great food and atmosphere. Live band the night we were there and a bit understand but or service was great! Some creative options on the menu and would definitely go back!

Waited almost an hour for our food. It was a limited menu due to concert night. The French fries were cold and greasy, the chicken was overcooked to the point that it was like chewing on leather. Never left a restaurant hungry but I did tonight.
