Legends Brewhouse & Eatery
HOWARD, Wisconsin - My family and I went to Legends Brewhouse & Eatery to enjoy some pizza (thanks to a coupon) and some fried cheese curds. We decided on the curds because their title on the menu was "Hand Breaded Cheese Curds". We wanted to see the validity of the statement 'hand breaded'.
The description of the cheese curds, included the addition of "served with fries and ranch dressing". It was unique that the curds were served with fries because normally, deep-fried cheese curds usually don't come with any other appetizer. Also, in Wisconsin, there is an obsession with ranch dressing so it was not unusual to see that addition in the description.
As the cheese curds arrived, we noticed that the cheese curds did indeed look hand breaded. Once we tasted them, they did not taste like frozen, pre-breaded cheese curds that you can buy in a grocery store. The cheese curds were extremely tasty with and without the ranch dressing. When you pulled apart a curd, the cheese would 'stretch' for a bit, indicating its freshness.
In addition, the cheese curds did come on a bed of french fries. This was a unique addition. Skeptically, we also ate the fries. The fries, though, were very fresh and perfectly crispy.
Overall, this fried cheese curd experience at Legends Brewhouse & Eatery was very enjoyable. For a sports bar type restaurant, the curds were high quality.
