The lady is CRAZY!

by mlspears

Everyone that is writing about the crazy woman that works there is SOOOO right! It's funny actually how totally psycho this woman acts. I recommend going to the restuarant how ever because I LOVE the entertainment that comes for free with the meal. Just don't take it personally...unless her aggression is directed towards you, of course. I went in for breakfast this morning and I was actually disappointed that I didn't see the train-wreck there. Maybe I should have gone in earlier!

AVOID !

by jimmy9252

This woman who works this place is one of the ugliest b***ches with frizzy hair i have ever met and an attitude to match too, my goodness. the food su**s. yes and starbucks coffee is actually better. this woman is a pyscho and my advice is she needs to open a restaurant she can run in the middle of the day when her pills kick in because she is definitely either manic depressive or plain crazy. she mutters under her breath at all the customers and then will suddenly be extra sweet to a random other customer as if her pills suddenly kicked in for a second. Please dont waste your money at this crappy attitude place. there are lots of other restaurants that can use your dollar without supporting someone so mean spirited. bye bye legal grounds. maybe this woman can get a future job cleaning toilets. she already looks like it.

• Pros: close to home
• Cons: everything else

THE RUDEST PLACE I EVER VISIT!

by pamelapurse

I went to this place for the FIRST time today since I heard so much about it. The young lady who I assume is the daughter was the RUDEST person I have ever met. The children cup they gave us accidentally fell on the floor and cracked (filled with water) The young blonde BARKED at us and told us to CLEAN IT UP. Which we were doing with the cheap napkins they had at the table. After being YELLED at and she was calling us names to other customers we decided to get out of there when we left we said we hope you have a better day and have a nice life she yelled at us WITH OUR KIDS to "DROP DEAD" NEVER IN OUR LIFE DID WE EVER THINK SOMEONE COULD BE SO MEAN AND HORRIBLE AND SAY SOMETHING SO MEAN IN FRONT OF YOUNG KIDS.

PLEASE DON'T GO TO THIS AWFUL PLACE IF YOU HAVE KIDS- THE COFFEE AND FOOD ISN'T THAT GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: NONE!!!!!
• Cons: THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE CUSS IN FRONT OF KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rude and Moody Customer Service

by chickadoo10

My husband and I have frequented this yummy breakfast spot since 1999. As always, the food has been really great. This last year or so, however, the owner's daughter has been running the show and her mouth. She is always bitter, and to say the least ,we would not return if it weren't for the atmosphere and good memories. She has cursed and been belligerent, and frankly, we have decided that in front or our kids this is not a place to come for friendly family service. The food is not worth it. Sorry to say that the good old days are gone.

• Pros: good food, nice ambience
• Cons: rude and abusive service, don't expect to stay long without being hurried out

Coffee shop by day, Greek restaurant by night... cant beat that!

by scootsmcgee

I cant even begin to explain how this place has changed my life. Your first visit will be a conversion experience. First of all, the owner (or the "rude lady" as was she was so distastefully called by another reviewer) is actually a really really friendly and talkative person. Going to legal grounds is like going to a secret club. If you dont know the protocol, expect to get reamed a new one, but if you follow protocol (i.e. know what you want, order it, pay for it, then find your seat) you wont get yelled at. Thats right, you have to order your food before you can sit down at a table (when the store is full). If you dont, the coffee gnomes will oust you from your seat, even if you try to "save" a table. Any way, the food is wonderful... I love the prom cakes. The coffee isnt burnt like that other place, what do they call it? Starcraps? Oh, no, $tarbucks. And you cant beat the atmosphere. Friendly people, friendly staff, stomach-friendly food... you cant beat it. Give it a try! and if you are not satisfied the first time, go back for a second visit and you will be... Trust me.

• Pros: Atmosphere; food; coffee; prom cakes
• Cons: they hate when you use your credit card for a $1 something purchase

Best Breakfast Sandwich in Town!

by Smithers1

This is a great independent coffee shop! Not like your run-of-the-mill coffee chain! Perfect place to catch up with friends, solve the worlds problems, or read the morning paper. They even have kids cups for the little ones. Excellent coffee and breakfast choices. The breakfast sandwich is my favorite, but you can't go wrong with the pancakes. As for the lady the previous reviewer made mention of, that is her "shtick." She is totally cool! No offense, but the previous reviewer just didn't get it. When you arrive be prepared to step up to the counter and order, for there's no time for small talk! Chances are, there will be people in line behind you and you'll be looking to spot that newly cleared table anyway, as it can get crowded on the weekends.

• Pros: Great Food & Great Coffee
• Cons: Can get crowded on Weekends - but that's part of the experience

Rude, insulting and downright ugly!

by lego13

I recently visited Legal Grounds for breakfast and the women at the counter has a serious attitude. She gave me the most rude and ridiculously unfriendly service I've ever received. I'm not talking no eye contact, no smiling kind of rude, I'm talking downright angy, mad, bad attitude, in your face, confrontational rude.

If you want rude service and feel like being insulted - please go here! If I could give it no stars, I would have.

• Pros: Good food.
• Cons: Rude service.

Tiny Lakewood jewel provides a strong option for coffee and breakfast, then transforms into a Greek restaurant in the evenings.
