Lamb Shank. Fantastic. Ribeye. Awesome. This place is old school to the point of steamed veggies on the plate. Great portions, great service, strong cocktails, and a very lively aosphere in the bar. 0ne tipsy woman was tossing FBombs constantly and she's the cause of the last star. We will be going back soon. read more

Came for a thanksgiving dinner with a large group. Was disrespected by the waiter immediately. Could tell she was not happy about having to work that night. Understandable, but doesn't give you the right to disrespect the people you're serving. They were serving prime rib as an option. See the pic for reference. I asked for a piece that was cooked more and the serve didn't even speak English. Will never be back. This property would do better as a McDonald's. read more

Glendora Continental - Lounges Near Me - Glendora, California

After using THEIR WEBSITE FOR PRICING we decided what we could afford and called in for take out. When we arrived we were suprised to get a total bill of 20% more than expected. When we showed the young lady the website prices she said she had to call the "manager" on the phone because she was not there. After the call she told us the manager said "we don't control the website we asked them to increase the prices they have no done it yet. It's not our fault that's the price" THIS IS THERE SITE not some 3rd party menu. Two stars instead of one because the food was good and the staff that was there was polite. read more

What can I say. A beautiful time machine into the way back when. Great food, great drinks, great vibe. You don't just go back in time, you leave California when you walk in the door. Friendly bartenders and servers, great people, great conversations, just greatness across the board! read more

Excellent little restaurant on historic Route 66 in Glendora. Stopped for lunch on a Thursday with a group of friends and sat at the cozy bar. Leather booths, dark and retro vibes. Waitress was attentive and allowed us time to linger for two hours. The food was delicious! I had the yummy split pea and ham soup with a half salad and iced tea. Fresh sourdough baguette on the table. Salad was crisp and delightful with strawberries apples feta and glazed walnuts. All for under $20, which I appreciated. Will definitely return if I'm ever in this area. read more

First time going, went to meet friends for a drink. It was a Friday night and the bar was very busy with a cover band playing. If you live a dive bar this may be right up your alley. I enjoyed the environment, pretty relaxed crowd, mix of young and old patrons. I will say the bartender poured a pretty heavy drink, I was drinking a vodka soda so an easy drink to make and I was happy that it was a lil in the strong side, but I can not speak on the quality of a mixed drink. Over all, I enjoyed my experience and will be back. On a side not, I heard the food from the restaurant side is good but I didn't try it. read more

Came here for karaoke on a Monday night, the ambiance was good enough. Generally and older crowd from what I hear. Drinks are decently priced, my only gripe with it was that the karaoke DJ only played the regulars. I definitely had my songs in, and I noticed that other singers were singing twice before I sang again. I mean I get it, you have to take care of your regulars, but with that being said, how am I supposed to become your regular if you don't make me feel welcomed. Unfortunately, this review was just on the karaoke not the establishment itself. I will have to come back on Wednesday to see how that night is. read more

Kathy is amazing! Good drinks, multitasks well and has fantastic ideas. I love bingo night. First time playing, first time winner. Tip Kathy for her amazing hard work. read more

This is an update and it's week overdue. The restaurant is the last dinner house in Glendora and. The Continental has kept it's old time charm and quality in their food and service. The chef is amazing! I'm particular desserts!!! I usually get the chef's special, but the tried and trues stand on their own. I go always saying I'm going to try something different, I get the prime rib. My LAWD , that prime rib! Best in the area! The people who are serving are often the owners or family and are so friendly and polite. My father and his friends are regulars and they make sure they stop by, say hello and always know their particular order or preference. I'm the bar, I haven't been in years. However, I love they have live music and keep the locals entertained. The 5th Star is missing because while I love the old time atmosphere, some updating needs to be done. It was also an average of my 2 start prior, so, I would definitely recommend The Continental for a classic super house experience and great meal! read more

We have never had a bad meal at Glen. CONTINENTAL but tonight 9_13/25 was very disappointing. The prime rib was tough full of Grizzle clam chowder which is usually delicious was more like potatoes soup too much thickening not enough class scalloped potatoes needed salt or something. Very disappointed read more

So many mixed reviews on this place, but was a place on my list from had to try. When I saw they had corned beef and cabbage for St Paddy's, that was my excuse. It was a Friday night and on my way home from a round of golf, so I ordered take out. Got there a little early, so had a chance to check the place out and loved the vibe. Live music in the bar, which was packed, and menu seemed interesting enough to bring me back. To start, the phone order was smooth and very friendly. Once I got there, I started up a conversation with the receptionist who took my order and the manager. We had a great conversation about the place and menu and how I wanted to try the place, but the mixed reviews might have kept me away. They really do seem to care and was so friendly, not sure where the mixed reviews come from but my experience was awesome. I had some extra time, so got a drink and listed to the band. Seems like a great weekend dinner and music night for the future. As for the food, the corned beef was awesome. Huger portion of beef, potatoes, carrots and cabbage for about $18. Came with bread and soup, which was clam chowder on this night (split pea was the other option). The soup and bread were delicious as well. Definitely warrants a return trip, where the Basque dinner is in my sights. read more

I have been to Glendora resident for 16 years now and I have really fallen in love with this place over the last few years, In particular last night. I get together with my high school buddies every holiday season and we usually go to the Derby in Arcadia or the Dal Rae in Pico Rivera, this year we stayed home and hit The Continental. We made a great choice. The cocktails always solid. The service always solid. The food better than expected. Thank you so much for continuing to deliver such a quality product. See ya Friday read more

A group of seventeen of us had lunch today at The Glendora Continental. The food was wonderful as usual but we were all most impressed by our waitress, Renee. She was the only waitress on duty and served us as well as all of the others in the restaurant. She was friendly, cheerful, and did an awesome job of taking care of all of us, even accommodating our request for separate checks. Thank you. Renee, you are awesome! read more

A throw back in time. The decor was very late 70-80ish. Don't look for jazzy, fusion here. Just a plain old American restaurant with traditional American dishes. The lone server was excellent. But I can see service speed being an issue if crowded. Food was surprisingly good and good value with soup or salad. Banquette, and everything was cooked to order. I really appreciate the vegetable side were real veggies. Not the canned type you commonly see at diner. Soup/entre were all delicious, good portions, and piping hot. Will come back earlier next time to try early bird specials. I didn't give it 5 stars because the whole place really needs to be freshened up. read more

The service was great. I had the steak sandwich. The steak was tender, bread was very nice, the fries were crispy. We are in the dining room rather than the bar area. It was a very nice atmosphere and quiet comparatively. The prices were very competitive and varied enough to give most people something to offer. Will definitely be returning. read more

Always a good time when we go for music and drinks. Old school San Gabriel Valley. They have a nice restaurant away from the bar area also.

Great place to be surrounded by the older generation. Them forgotten men and women that told stories and fought in wars and listened to some of the best music around. The forgotten generation that was so unappreciated. The hard workers of yesterday. I for one appreciated it. The food was good. The place was quiet. They played old MTV videos on their vintage TVs when mtv actually played music. I would come back. Stop by and have a beer with the people from yeateryear buy them a beer and strike up a conversation. You won't be disappointed. read more

If a place could ever have negative stars they would succeed. I have never been here & was finally able to check it out after years of knowing about it. This has got to be the worst customer service ever. Not only did we wait two hours for a seat, the staff completely lied to our face about giving our seat away. The staff memory claiming to be the supervisor for that night, snapped at us for their mistake and their employee being upset. With customer service this horrible, I don't know how this place could ever be in business. Everyone has bad days. Every company makes mistakes. But to have the most disrespectful, customer service is another level. Customer service, is the key to everything with a business. read more

First back here since Covid shutdown. Service is a bit slow, food is about the same, price slightly increased but acceptable. No more free refills of bread, they charges $2 for it now. read more

Made the mistake of going to Glendora Continental on Valentine's Day. I was informed this is a great place with a robust menu. Like other restaurants Continental had several appetizers and about ten $30+ main dishes. The taziki lamb with veg was passable but overcooked. The table also ordered a prime rib that looked good except for the huge vein of fat running through the cut. No draught beer was a surprise. The facility itself is quite dated, greasy torn carpets and men's bathroom desperately in need of modernization. We used to enjoy Burger Continental in Pasadena and perhaps mistakenly I thought they were their resurrection. Wait staff very friendly. Will not be returning in the near future. read more

It was awful. The food has gone down down down! The cream of potato soup tasted like they took a jar of garlic, added some cream to it and served it. Won't be going back. read more

Older establishment but they have an early bird special $21 a plate. It changes day-to-day but a great bang for the buck service is good. Food is good at a reasonable price. read more

They Continental is Glendora history and has been part of the city a very long time. I ordered Prime Rib & Ribeye steak. Both were excellent. A little under $100 for both dinners read more

Can't say enough positives about the Glendora Continental. Try to come in when I'm in town for the vibe, good food, happy hour and friend servers. Brandi and Jessica are great! Earlier this week came in for the Salmon Power Bowl. Have been wanting to try this for awhile. This was delicious. Tonight had the Mahi Mahi tacos off the bar menu. Tried these for the first time and they were also really good. No secret I love this place and staff but honestly if you haven't been here lately you need to! read more

Its really too bad that the quality of food and customer service is now soooooo bad. We will never come back. There to celebrate a birthday (a party of 5) we had a small cake, the server said they could refrigerate it for us. We thanked her she took our cake then the manager came over and said there would be a $10 cake cutting fee. We told her to bring the cake back and we would cut it ourselves. She said we would still be charged. I could go on and on about this horrible manager and service, but their empty restaurant says it all. Save your money, go anywhere else but her read more

So I've been curious about The Glendora Continental for a while now, and just before the pandemic we were gonna try them out but ya know--pandemic! ‍ My mom wanted lunch or brunch but all the places in Azusa and Glendora were full so we chatted her up about the menu at the Glendora Continental and she was sold on it! We opted for their super yummy lunch specials: the Rueben sandwich that comes with a side of soups or salad, the prime rib cooked to our liking that also came with a soup or salad (mom and I did the French onion soup and clam chowder), and my other brother got the ground steak lunch with was covered in this sumptuous gravy and mushrooms! To start we got the sautéed mushrooms that were cooked in butter and garlic and what may be a white wine reduction. They offer a Basque influenced menu and we're probably going to try the cheese and pickled tongue charcuterie plate next time, as well as the escargot. What has me giving this place five stars is the awesome service from our server, Kevin. Gotta give a shout-out to him. Just amazing service and conscientious of the new rules as we return from full masking. We enjoyed both the service and the quality food we had. The flavors of the starter were just off the hook! It also went well with our nicely toasted fresh French bread with butter! Our prime rib was cooked to our liking--and it just melted in my mouth, that's how tender it was! Soooo good! For dessert we had a double fudge chocolate cake with a big scoop of ice cream--perfect with a cup of coffee. Overall a meal that was both reasonably priced and service above par. We're definitely coming back again. I hear their cocktails at happy hour is also pretty good, so yeah I'm definitely coming back! Highly recommend this place. They currently have outdoor seating and indoor seating. Be conscientious of the mask rules and be mindful of our wonderful restaurant staff--they are doing their best during these times. And welcome back to restaurant dining!!! read more
