Legends at Steps in Torbay

Friendly great steak really quirky decor recommended

Highly recommended… huge portions of home cooked food! Steak was a perfect medium rare, the crab gratin and prawns amazing to start! This is a locally owned restaurant and the difference compared to chains stark! 4 drink 2 starters and mains for £65! Unbelievably good value! Lovely atmosphere and lovely family who run it! We have walked past so many times but never been! We will be returning soon ❤️

Superb cuisine in a lovely cosy setting. The steaks are mouthwatering and well presented. Great selection. Friendly staff who are eager to please. Definitely worth repeat visits.

Last minute booking on a Thursday, visited off the back of the reviews and wasn’t disappointed. The food was lovely and very well priced compared to other restaurants in the area. The service was also very attentive. My only negative would be the place needs a bit of TLC but the food was lovely

Small but fantastic restaurant. Situated at the bottom of Fleet walk, up some narrow steps. Best steak we've had in ages. Good size portion at a reasonable price. Friendly/helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

Found this hidden gem up the steps met by really friendly and professional staff knowledgeable about the menu. Amazing tasting food

Quality, quantity and price - amazing! A wonderful hidden gem. In 25 years of holidaying in Torbay, this has been the best meal and cannot believe we’ve only just found it this year. The menu isn’t extensive but it doesn’t need all the gimmicks and cocktails as what they do, they do wonderfully. We were shocked at the amount of food, even on the 2 course deal, the quantities were fantastic. Can highly recommend

Ate here recently after feedback from a relative. Steak was cooked very nicely, white bait was nice but not particularly well breaded. My wife had the half rack of ribs and she really enjoyed the sauce was hot and spicy and very delicious. Chips were not cooked properly. Atmosphere was ok but a very mature clientele. Side vegetables were not seasoned and a little crunchy for my liking. Service was good and waitresses were friendly. Meal was fairly priced at £50

What a little gem of a place this is! Thank god for google reviews as we would never have found it otherwise. The food was delicious and amazing value for money. The staff were lovely and made the experience even better. We would 100% recommend this place and just wish we had found it sooner and not at the end of our stay.

OMG I was recommended by a friend and I wasn't let down. Came her on last night of honeymoon and the food is out of this world. Lovely setting and amazing service. Will definitely come back again. 12/10 for me

Do not be put off by the location of this lovely restaurant. It is tucked away up some narrow steps in the centre of Torquay, the restaurant is only open Wednesday to Saturday and it is advisable to book. This is a family run restaurant. We ordered the garlic baguettes and then the steak and steak and ribs, we also had ice cream and the caramel apple pie for dessert. The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. We will definitely visit here if we were in Torquay in the future.

Legends really is a legend We visit whenever we are visiting Torquay and the food and service never disappoints us Tonight we had surf and turf and a ribeye cooked to perfection with lovely vegetables and garlic potatoes Couldn’t eat it all , large portions Can’t wait to go again

You really need to book but a lovely lady squeezed us in & looked after us with a nice young lad.The food was the best meal we had in our weeks holiday in Torquay. We won't hesitate to return when we're back in the area.

It's not very often somewhere gets 5 stars from me. This place was amazing. The crab au gratin starter was really tasty and good value, several of us had it. The steak was cooked to MY liking and not the the chef's idea of how I should like it. It was nice to be in a restaurant where you could also chat to other diners.

Lovely hidden gem. Very interesting menu. They made a special effort decorating the table for my birthday. Lovely food , good service and reasonable prices. We were a group of 8 , all ordering different things and everyone was pleased with their choice.

Excellent as always top quality steak and service at the best price you’ll find in Torbay Always great quality and well presented

Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Portion sizes were a great. Really good value for money. Lovely lady who served us. Will definitely be returning!

Amazing food and service as usual. Booked again to go in 2 weeks. Set meal is my favourite and such good value for money. Thanks

We visited this restaurant last Saturday. We arrived around 8.15 without a booking but they asked if we could come back at 9pm & they would have a table for us. So glad we went back as food & staff are amazing! We both chose off the set menu. Three courses for £24.95. Outstanding value for money as all courses were delicious. We both had creamy garlic mushrooms to start which was served with lovely thick bread followed by sirloin steaks which were cooked to perfection. This came with a selection of potatoes ( I chose garlic potatoes & my partner had chips). There was also salad & mushrooms on our plates & a separate dish of mixed vegetables which we couldn’t finish as we were so full! We also chose a garlic sauce & a peppercorn sauce as a side order & both were so tasty & plentiful. For our deserts my partner chose the apple pie which he enjoyed very much & I chose a selection of ice creams. All this was washed down with a bottle of pinot Grigio & bill was just under £74! There is a lovely atmosphere in this restaurant & we are so glad we visited. It is run by a lovely family who are very friendly. They kindly ordered us a taxi at end of night back to our hotel. If we lived nearby we would be regular visitors! Give this restaurant a try & you will not be disappointed!

Amazing food no prices increase in 4 years and the food is still amazing well done guys. Fillet steak and prawn cocktail for under £30 That doesn’t happen anywhere in Torquay

Excellent value steak restaurant just off the main street. Eating off the Dinner set menu option, both the Garlic mushrooms and Premium prawn cocktail starters were very good. Sirloin steaks cooked perfectly.

Fabulous find, waitress great, friendly and very efficient. Too much food, and roast potatoes were underdone almost inedible and veg over done. Too many tomatoes on prawn cocktail, I would have like them cut up.plenty of prawns but some prawns warm others cold...steak was rare, despite asking medium fortunately not an issue I will eat mooing...salmon 2 large fillets definable good value for money.

Great food and very large portions. This is a great place to eat. Very good value as well

Our second time visiting legend at steps, the food is absolutely amazing and the portions are huge!! We really enjoyed it, thanks, we will definitely be back in the new year and will be recommending you to our guests!!

Food was lovely as always… but the older waitress (possibly the owner) is the rudest person we’ve ever met, arrogant and unprofessional. We’ve been going there years, same disgusting attitude every time, nearly took it personal at one point, till I realised she’s like it with most people.

good for steaks, garlic potatoes excellently done, reasonable price, need to walk up a flight of stairs

I went there for my friend's birthday dinner. It was my first time at this restaurant. I had Old English, fillet steak stuffed with Stilton cheese, cooked to perfection and the sauce was so tasty. I loved garlick roast potatoes and vegetables, especially red cabbage. I couldn't resist and ordered their apple pie with custard and I am definitely having it again. Lovely staff ! Just fab all round can't wait to go again and try Surf and Turf my friend had, I tried king prawn which was massive and it was the best ever. Thank you for this amazing experience! See you soon.

The food was ok, the vegetables were a little odd to be honest and was almost a through back to the 80's. I had the sea bass and it had been cooked beautifully although the potatoes tasted like they had been precooked quite a while ago and then reheated. Partners steak he said was very good, it came with some very white and depressing looking chips. However, above it all was the table. We had to ask for it to be cleaned because I was sticking to it. They cleaned it and it was so sticky I had to lay my napkins on the table to cover the surface. The cutlery was not great either. PLUS the table wobbled. Probably not go back.

Squeezed in between buildings at the top of some steps near the harbour is this ‘legend’ of a restaurant. The food is really good with portions of vegetables which could easily go between two. We saw several untouched veg bowls go back to the kitchen - just simply too much. Prices are so much cheaper than other establishments nearby and the service is friendly and casual. Bottles of wine are unbelievably cheap - around £20 each but I would rather pay more for a better quality wine to complement the great food. They don’t do cocktails and the bar selection isn’t wonderful but if you’re going more for the food then this is your place.

We had the set meal . Both had the steak and both cooked to perfection. I also opted for peppercorn sauce of which there was plenty not just a shot glass full. Thoroughly enjoyed the time spent at this restaurant. We will return .

Heard all good things, been meaning to try the place for years, when i lived in Torquay, now since moved to newton, finally tried it, and so glad we did, absolutely beautiful, steaks melt in ur mouth, the flavours are also amazing! All served, by our lovely Valeria, who also was amazing, and a lovely girl, Definitely be back soon, thankyou! ☺️

We went to Legends at Steps for a celebration meal, what can I say the food and service were excellent, we couldn’t fault our meal whatsoever, I had the 12oz fillet with black bean sauce, wow wow wow the flavours were superb sweet, sour, hint of garlic with a slight kick of chilli and black beans, to me the chef was flawless on this, well done chef!!! nice accompaniment of vegetables, I didn’t have a dessert but the rest did and said they were really enjoyable. Front of house were very knowledgeable, we all thoroughly enjoyed our evening and we will definitely be back, keep up the fantastic work 😀

First time here and absolutely amazed by the quality of the food, the price and the service. I went for king prawns with garlic butter which was a great size and so tasty. The old English fillet steak was phenomenal! Cooked to perfection, the chef definitely knows what he is doing! The food, drink and atmosphere was great and we will back soon! Thanks for an amazing evening!

Little ,quite and cute spot in Torquay twon center. With the best steaks and the best service. Professional but with a touch of familiarity.

Steps has always been one of the first restaurants on our list when visiting Torquay so on Saturday we visited again. The first thing that hit us was the generally poor level of cleanliness, something not seen before. Dirty sticky table, dirty cutlery, very dirty drinking glasses, table mats that had seen better days & the floors were so sticky. Thankfully the food was of a reasonable standard but after many visits this will be our last!

Very disappointed! Was our Anniversary so decided to treat ourselves! Had prawn cocktail which was good! No conversation from waitress or waiter! Too busy chatting to people they knew in the other room! My husband ordered a 16 oz Sirloin which was expensive very undercooked and half was very fatty! Told the waitress and she said oh sorry nothing was done about it! Ordered no tomato on my husbands but came with tomato! Ordered no onions with my salad but came with onions! Still No apology and no conversation! Didn’t want to make a fuss as it was our Anniversary! Bill was £85 with one drink each ! Really upset!

Beautiful place,cosy, great atmosphere, super service, tender steak and a place we will definitely go to again when we come back to this area . Reasonable prices too. Drinks good. It's what I would call a secret little place up stairs out of the way ,but people obviously know about it because it was full. We were lucky to get in.

Superb Can't say anything else.

I have been very disappointed which has ruined my memories of this restaurant. The steak was fatty & not cooked to the medium I had asked for ( blood coming out of it ) Even the dessert just did not come up to the same standard as before. Disappointed

Discovered this place by chance and what a find. Great food, great service. Small intimate venue. Thoroughly recommend.

Have been coming to Legends for many years now and never had a bad meal. Will continue to rate as one of my favourite places to eat out serving the best steak!

Had my 60th birthday here {group of 6}, The food was absolutely fantastic all the steaks were cooked to perfection as were all the other meals , large portions and delicious vegetable's all served by lovely staff, we had a fantastic evening and would highly recommend. we will defiantly return

We come to Torquay every year for our anniversary and for the last 6-7 years we have had a meal here and have never been disappointed. The food is amazing and we look forward to it every year.

Great steak...Great ambience...Will definitely return

Beautiful steak,great price to 👌

Don't miss this incredible place to eat if you are in the area. A delightful family run business with superb steak and seafood cookery. We will be back to try something else from there delicious menu. Not unaffordable either.

Amazing food and steak cooked to perfection in this lovely family run restaurant. Could not rate this higher. A must visit.

So glad that I'd read the reviews on here beforehand as I'd have missed this great little restaurant tucked away at top of some stairs above a barbers shop opposite Wetherspoons! Lovely little family owned place offering great service at very good prices. Food was...

Been living in Torquay for 10 years and our first visit. Friends down from London and fancied a steak. Wow, succulent, tender and tasty. I went for the 20oz, you need to be hungry! The choice of potatoes/chip excellent and veg cooked well and tasty....

Absolutely superb food, very reasonable prices. We have enjoyed at least 4 excellent meals here now and it's become a favourite for us and the family when they visit.

Had a really marvellous meal Saturday at Legends at Steps,the place is spotlessly clean and feels nice,our prawn starters were delicious and the Fillet steaks were huge and cooked to perfection as were all the vegetables,I have to say well done Jo,Tom and chef.

The most amazing food, brilliant service whilst offering exceptional value for money! The quality of the steak was the best we’ve ever had and we have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the country. The wine list provided a good variety and to...

The best steaks! Lovely choice of food with great service and atmosphere. Can’t wait to go again. Thank you

was there last night. Great tunes. Great food. No complaints. Will certainly return.

Enjoyed a rare date night. Beautiful food and excellent service, all food is cooked to order, enjoyed a glass of wine while waiting. I had the sea bass for my main and it was cooked perfectly and tasty.

Amazing little restaurant recommended to us by our B&B owner. I had the Legend steak and can honestly say it was the most amazing steak I had ever tasted. Friendly courteous staff who couldn’t do enough for you. Would highly recommend.

Busy Saturday night. The food was good but a lot of it and a lot wasted. Not really sure you need the veg with steak and chips maybe just some peas would be enough and more than acceptable. Prices are very reasonable and the staff...

A little gem. 4 adults for a birthday.we had steaks and they were cooked to perfection,vegetables were really nice choice of potatoes and chips. Great atmosphere and the staff were really nice. The price is not expensive. This is our steak place. What more can...

Steak was tough and not cooked correctly tables where sticky and looks tired it has a 3 star hygiene certificate. Staff had attitude and rushing us to order won't return .

What a fabulous experience. Wonderful waitress, nothing too much trouble and the most amazing food. The steaks were superb, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The vegetables were also perfect. The dessert was really moreish. Will definitely be visiting again shortly!! Thank you so much to the chef, his wife and waitress for making our evening such a pleasurable experience.

After being a favourite restaurant of of our family for 30 years will never return again. Treated appallingly tonight in favour of a group of young rowdy insulting group of people who took over the place and pushed us out. Staff blatantly rude, didn't want to know even though we wanted to treat ourselves after my recent surgery wanting to have a nice relaxing night this has really upset me. Truly awful and will make sure everyone knows.

We had a lovely meal here as always I’d go every week if I could Fabulous food, fabulous service Very good price for what you are served

Fantastic food steaks were great Prawn cocktail was huge. Only problem was the noise of other diners as the place was packed Friday night

Ate here in November for a friends birthday- all four meals were very much enjoyed, steaks cooked beautifully. Service by a teenage boy with little energy or charisma so could be improved, but the food was lovely!

Tried to book a table and was told we could only have for just over an hour. I said I would confirm, if that was ok which I did within 30mins, the member of staff then advised that she did not have the table anymore,she...

Just the BEST steaks in the bay. Always have the 'Old English ' it's just incredible. A good addition would be to sell an alcohol free larger as I don't drink coke etc so had to have sparling water. Wasn't a problem just would love the option of a AF larger for us sober folk. Thanks you Legends great food again.

Excellent food and service. Steak cooked beautifully. Thank you for a lovely birthday meal

Absolutely brilliant food. We both had steak and it was amazing, cooked to perfection! I don’t normally leave reviews but this place deserves praise. I would recommend to anyone visiting Torquay to give this place a try.

Legends well what can I say!!!! Brilliant, went here for the first time 12th November for my birthday. (Only moved to Devon 14 months ago). steaks fantastic, fresh tasty vegetables choice of potatoes all tasty. The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere really nice comfy...

Enjoyed our meal tonight. Steak, seabass, mixed veg, chips, new potatoes. All lovely. Would Recommended.

Found this place by looking at the reviews and wasn't disappointed even though we hadn't booked we got the last table. We had the set meal for 25, prawn cocktail which came with a slice of fresh chunky bread, followed by chicken with a Stilton...

Can’t fault our night at Legends. The steaks and sides were fantastic. Front of house was great. Would easily recommend it to anyone.

Returned here with friends, have to say the place is still one of the best in the bay, great food choice all round, great veg served with the meal, good bar with plenty of choice and very reasonably priced, in fact it’s hardly increased in...

Lovely meal, very pleasant staff and overall nice atmosphere. Would definately recommend the steak, cooked to perfection and huge, lovely. Place could do with some aircon though.

We’ve been to this restaurant many times & always had great steaks & good service. There is plenty of choice on the menu & a special board as well.

Steak was absolutely divine! Would highly recommend any steak connasour. I debating ordering a 2nd dish the food that good

Absolutely fantastic, would definitely recommend.

Arguably the best steaks in Torquay, we had the luck visiting Legends twice at a recent visit to Torquay. The quality and value of the food and drinks were exceptional, I would suggest booking in advance to ensure getting a table

We have been to this restaurant on other visits to Devon and all ways found it to be excellent food. We both had steaks which were cooked just right and tasted great, We just had to go back again after that meal being so good,...

Superb food plenty of it so well cooked compliments to the chef A very friendly greeting from mine host .Best steak in Torquay

Well cooked food choice is limited but it is small place you need to book rather than just turn up

visited with family for a meal. 2 fillet steaks with chilli and blacken sauce, 1 with black pepper sauce and a Sea Bass. All the food was excellent and did not disappoint!

If you like steak this is the place to eat. We had lovely seafood starters followed by steak that was cooked to perfection. It was commended to us by someone who lives in Torquay and is a regular visitor here - it didn’t disappoint.

Chose this restaurant as it was recommended as gluten-free friendly, and it didn’t disappoint. To the point the chef went the extra mile and adapted one of the sauce’s so my wife could enjoy one of the meals not listed as gluten-free . ( I...

What a great little find didn't book but the did fit us in so good my wife had a fillet of stake I had the sea bass could not fault the food was to stuffed to order pub but when in torquay again will definitely...

Had a fantastic meal here tonight with Jon, Ange and Tush amazing steak great service and a lovely atmosphere will definitely be back to try the mussels 10 out of 10.

Wish they had lower than a 1 star, everyone must have been friends or family that shared anything above a 1 star this place looks like it’s about into fall into a pile of rubble and staff are very rude times noted on the door was wrong as it said 10 but were told that it actually closed at 8

Went there last night 17th May 2022 I had the Legends Special Fillet Steak with Chips and Veg and the Wife had Chicken Diane with Roasted Garlic Potatoes and Veg My Steak was Cooked as I asked for and was lovely as was the Wife's Chicken we will Definitely be going back there next time we are in Torquay

What an unbelivable great restuarant. The food was very resonably priced and the quality and servings were second to none. Very well decorated and layed out. There were six of us, all adults, and the owners, one is the chef, ensured we were well catered...

Had a great meal, 6 of us enjoyed a lovely meal and the hostess was delightful

From outside this restaurant doesn’t look much but inside the decor is warm and inviting as was the host (who looked to be working on her own). There is a good selection of starters and mains. We both opted for fillet steak which were cooked...

Had a fabulous meal . From start to finish service was brilliant . Excellent host who by no fault of hers was on her own . She never stopped all night and still had the time to check on every table . The crab starter...

Excellent food and service, more than you can eat.

Visited on a Friday night, staff were friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere and lighting were subtle, the menu has plenty of choice for both meat and fish eaters, I had a fillet steak which was cooked to perfection, my wife had the surf and turf...

This is a little gem hidden away in the town in Torquay would highly recommend this place 👍😎

Absolutely amazing! I have lived here for 6yrs and have never been to Legends before. We were "walk ins" and were given a table straight away. Service was excellent, staff were friendly and polite, and food (fillet steak) Absolutely beautiful! My partner is a chef and said it was the best fillet steak he's had.

Such a jem, lovely polite staff and food was outstanding. Will be our dining place when in Torquay Would definitely recommend
