Legend Deli occupies a small storefront on George Street in Harleston Village, a quiet residential pocket of downtown Charleston. The menu leans on named sandwiches with punny titles — the G.O.A.T. (black pepper turkey, whipped goat cheese, onion jam), the Reuben Feffer (corned beef, sauerkraut, Ukrainian dressing), the Jimmy Pesto Wrap, and The Legend of Shia Le Beouf, a roast beef hoagie with red wine braised onions and horseradish — alongside breakfast burritos and a smash burger. Catering is also part of the operation, and the shop is a partner of College of Charleston Athletics.
Regulars describe it as owner-operated, with attentive, consistent service and portions that feel generous for the price. It's often framed as a hidden gem — a counter spot that draws a steady following without needing to be flashy about it.
