***FOOTBALL FRIDAYS WE ACCEPT WALK INS ONLY****Legends, our refreshed tavern offers a new menu featuring shareables, burgers, salads and sandwiches. Located just yards from Notre Dame Stadium on its sound side, Legends is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday. The University of Notre Dame is a cashless campus. Please be aware that campus is undergoing multiple construction projects this summer that may impact how you navigate campus by vehicle and on foot. A renovation project to the Main Circle on Notre Dame Avenue has begun, closing the roundabout to traffic. Access to North Notre Dame Avenue will be limited until mid-August and you may experience delays upon your arrival to campus. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to welcoming you to campus.

    One of our party received an overdone filet and sent it back. Rohr's more than made it right by bringing him an appetizer to enjoy while waiting for the new filet, which was just right when it arrived. Several in our party ordered the prix-fixe Thanksgiving turkey dinner which was delicious and sumptuous. Would 100% go back again!
