Legends Classic Diner - Ordered to go small sampler burnt! - American Near Me - Glendora, California

We come here once a week with some friends for years and never had a bad experience. Everything on the menu is awesome and if u dont like it they will fix it. The car shows r the best as well makes it really route 66. We need more Americana places like this on route 66. read more

Came here today with my daughter and I liked the food. I ordered the BLT with avocado, but ended up taking out some of the bacon because it was way too salty. The avocado inside was really good though and ripe. For my daughter she got the junior meal with the cheeseburger. She actually liked the cheeseburger and that says a lot because she is 3 and super picky. I had some of her fries and they were good as well, not overly salty, but I wish they were a little more crispier. The guy who took our order was really friendly and patient, I was slow due to the fact it was my first time and I was not sure what to get. It's a little pricey for being a sort of fast food spot, but I will be back to try some of the other items on their large menu. read more

I'm super grateful for the service I received yesterday for dinner. We ordered an amazing Gyro salad and it was spectacular. I realize I had ordered the original incorrectly and asked for a Greek salad and not a Gyro salad and they were more than accommodating to fix the order. All of the toppings for that salad were so spot on. Today we went to another restaurant, got overcharged and wish we had gone back to legends. Thank you for your kind and compassionate service from this ever grateful customer. My kids love it here and music is so sweet. Pickle bar is also a delicious add on. read more

I absolutely love this place! Their salads and burgers here are super delicious. I have had their bacon avocado burger, tuna salad and chicken salad (it's an explosion of flavor in your mouth!) read more

I am writing a review today because I got a burger that tasted horrible the meat wasn't good at all didn't taste like a good burgers meat. The fries were very soggy and tasted like a normal tams fries if not worse. The burger also smelled really bad, and when I tried the thing it tasted just like the smell. I know it wasn't me because I let my family try the burger and they all said the same thing I said. I wouldn't go here again although I might try something else. Maybe burgers isn't their specialty or I got a messed up bacon cheeseburger as my first time here from Legends. The food was horrible for me, but my family all had good experiences with their food maybe my burger really just got messed up or something... read more

Staff is always nice and friendly, food is great..a lot of variety too. Also ambience and cleanliness is on point..They know how to run a business! read more

The staff is always very nice. Food is made fresh so expect a little longer wait time in the drive thru, but it's worth it! I love their breakfast burritos and think they are the best in town. read more

Food here is consistently good! I usually get the either the chicken salad or the greek. Great Price and service. When I feel like splurging i get the zucchini fries, man oh man they greeeeeattt!!!!! read more

It's decent food. I love their chef salad, but sadly they are willing to turn away customers because they often refuse to make the salad with only iceberg lettuce. I can't stand the spring mix, so when they refuse we just take our family of 8 to grand burger instead. read more

I would give this place a 3 and a half if I could. The selection of food on the menu is pretty good. I had their cheeseburger and fry combo a couple times and I would not recommend it for first timers because I think it will give you the wrong first impression of the place. The burgers are just average in my opinion. I have had the chicken tacos (pretty good) Various salads (very large) I usually get the small salad option... it is plenty for me and it comes with pita bread. fried foods... fries, onion rings and zuchini (yummy) Sandwhiches (really good and they are not stingy with the meat, bacon or avocado) Their breakfast burritos are not that good to me. They have a good selection in the salsa bar and an area for ice cream sundaes and shakes. This place is worth going to just for the way the interior is set up. It is cool to look at all the pictures on the walls an the painted murals. read more

The only thing more annoying than 50s nostalgia is Nazi nostalgia. Then again, at least the Nazis had cool uniforms. The 50s had poodle skirts and bobby socks. I really, really, really, really hate 50s diners. But I really, really, really love my ex coworker who lives around the corner, so when she suggested this place, I sucked it up. The music was the only thing louder than the decor. The place is about the size of a commercial airline hanger. Seriously, they should just go for broke with the whole 50s theme and put in a roller rink. There's plenty of space for it. I don't envy their heat/air conditioning bills. All the badmouthing being said, the veggie burgers were pretty good and the service was friendly enough. I like a place that doesn't skimp on the pickles. I'm not a fan of pre-seasoned fries, because I should be given the option of salt, but whatever. My friend ordered a cow-based burger and she said it was really good. I notice my reviews always kind of just trail off. I need to work on the whole "in conclusion..." thing. read more

I would like to start off this review by stating how wonderful and euphoric the decor is here! Instantly puts you in a great mood. The moment you step through the door you are transported to a different decade. The decor hits you like a great rock n roll tune. A few steps forward and you have arrived to the location where your tastebuds and brain cells start to shuffle and do the locomotion. Deciding what to order based on what tickles your fancy and what fits your dinning budget. I went with the Avocado Burger and upgraded to a combo with chili cheese fries! Duh! The hubby went with the Bacon Avocado and also upgraded to the combo. The Chili fries were jiveing all the way down to my belly when they landed they started to do the grease lightning!!!!! You feel me? The burger was okay. Nothing great! But not bad. Just very dry.....I went in for a bite and all the avocado, pickles, and tomatoes decided to do like a banana and split.... off my burger onto my lap. Dry patty and a dry bun will do that. Next time I'm gonna lather that pup up in some chili. Overall great experience just wish the burgers tasted a little fresher and not so thin and dry. If you're looking for a cool place to chat it up for a while and snack on some delicious fries and shakes this is the place for you! read more

The fact that they were open late is what gets an extra star. I am not quite sure what time they close, but I know it was past 11:15 pm by the time we found our way home on that fateful St. Patty's Evening. And McDonald's was not sounding good. And we had friends waiting at the star. And we had drank copious amounts of green beer by the beach and my hair was psycho from the ocean mist. So into Legends we go. I was expecting the worse from this trendy novelty of a place. But the portions were definitely good sized. They had a veggie burger, wheat buns and a buffalo burger choice. The taquitos were just okay, but hit the spot. The fries were crispy. And a lot of them to boot. Zuchini sticks were also good. Our friends waiting for us didn't seem to waste any time helping themselves to our greasy, late night delights. And fortunately, sizes were enough to let you share and appear to be a generous person. So, I guess Legends does the job. The fast food, late night, sooth the alcohol tummy job. You looking for gourmet? go elsewhere. read more

As a final stop on my adventure, I came across this place as I was heading back out to the highway. The place was one of those '50's diners' and it actually had a Hot Rod car show going on. So the whole thing seemed to be just right. Plus the Donut Shop down the street had closed for the holiday. I pulled my car into the place and drove past some of the most incredible cars I'd seen since the last car show at a 50's Diner. I parked next to some very unimpressive mini-vans and walked the short distance inside. I felt that for a 50's diner I should get a coke product, a cheeseburger and some fries. So, that's what I ordered. The total after tax was about eleven dollars. I was given a number and told somebody would deliver my food. I filled up my coke with some ice, and a filled the cup with crisp and refreshing diet coke. I know. Giant burger, mound of fries, Diet Coke. Shut up. I found a table outside, and enjoyed my cold soda as I listened to the music of the time, ridiculously loud engines rev, and awed at the shiny rods pull into parking spots in front of me. I'm sure some millennials somewhere were offended by this somewhere. I smiled and enjoyed the scenario. Before too long, girl came out with a tray of burger and fries. I thanked her, and composed my photo for Yelp. Big huge burger. Dripping with cheese, grease and thousand Island dressing for good measure. Crisp veggies for good measure. For a brief moment, I was in the 1950's/1960's. The fantastic hot rods parked nearby, the music wafting in the air, the distinctive smell of fuel, and the burger and coke in front of my face. It was very cool. The fries were seasoned and crispy. The burger was hot and juicy. It was a good meal. After I was done, I took the tray and dishes in to dispose of them. As I returned to the table to sit for just a bit longer, a fifty year old Chevrolet Camaro backed into the spot directly in front of me. It was an absolute thing of beauty. This place is great. Not too expensive, good food, great ambiance, and great cars on the days where they have car shows. It was a great way to round out my Memorial Day weekend. Thanks Legends Diner. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Legends Classic Diner - Double Cheeseburger and Fries. - American Near Me - Glendora, California

I understand your home girl is saying something funny over your headset. That's perfectly fine, finish listening to what she says. If you say you're ready to take my order, don't laugh uncontrollably halfway through it because you're still listening to your buddy, only to have a coworker bail you out and complete the order. Also, when you read the order back, how do you not have it correct on your screen? That same guy had to correct that mistake too. On top of that, I'm getting handed stuff I didn't order. Yes, I'm handing back the drink I never got. I'm also not going to take someone else's order when my number was called. Finally, 2 people are trying to pick up after you (and making mistakes in the process). Don't leave them out to dry because you want to chat with another friend that's off of work/on her lunch break. Quite a first impression, Legends. read more

Now this is a diner that I do enjoy and that I had frequented many a times while in college. It was a bit of a drive from campus but well worth it! Thanks to my friend who introduced this place to me, we would drive here during lunch break of our Ethics class and have some yummy, good, diner food during class! Well I wouldn't go all out but man, I love a place that has a mean fried zucchini! The kids meal was big enough to satisfy me and with our schedule, the fact they have a drive-thru is a plus! Amazing... seriously. I wish I was still in school so I could drive there and eat.. hehe read more

Eeeeehhhhhhh...this place was ok. I was hoping after all the great reviews that I would be heading to a great 50's themed diner. NOOOOPE! First off, when we walked in I was looking for the shakes on the huge menu that hung over the counter. After all, what's a 50's diner without shakes? But alas...no shakes. Luckily I happened to walk over to the left side of the counter and see a guy making a shake. As I go around the corner...TAH DAH!...the dessert menu! I'm sorry, but what terrible placement. We almost walked out because we thought they didn't have shakes. If I had never walked over there I wouldn't have seen the dessert menu. Then I was disappointed at the selection. Chocolate, Vanilla, & Strawberry? Even Jack In The Box has better shake selection than that! They do make freezes so that was a consolation. Then I noticed something, we had been standing there looking up at this obnoxiously huuuuuuge menu for quite some time and not once did any of the workers acknowledge our presence. Even when we walked up to order the girl at the register said nothing and stood there looking at us like,"Well, are you going to order or what?" The food itself was hit or miss. The Bacon Avocado Burger I got was pretty good except it was so big I couldn't bite it without parts of the burger falling onto the plate. The chili cheese fries were not very good. I like the chili cheese fries @ The Hat waaaaaaaaaaay better. The root beer freeze I got was ok. I don't know, maybe I'm spoiled from having been to other 50's diners that have better menu selection, better customer service, & better food. But this place was a dismal disappointment for me. The only reason it even gets 2 stars is 1) the place looks pretty cool & 2) my burger was pretty good despite falling apart. If any of you are ever in San Diego...hit up Corvette's in Hillcrest. Better food, entertaining waitresses, & a variety of shakes! read more

I went there with some family and had terrible service. The waitress was very curt when I placed my order and didn't want to offer any alternatives when I asked for vegetarian options. When she brought my order, she hit my arm with the tray. When I turned to look at her, she just stood there with a sh*t eating grin on her face. She knew what she did, I caught her looking at me and whispering to another waitress after this happened. The food was ok, but with service like this, I refuse to go back. read more

Legends is definitely a blast from the past. From the decor to the music coming through the speakers, you will be taken back in time. The staff is very friendly. The food is tasty and served in a timely manner. Overall all great dining experience. read more

I've been to Legends a couple of times already and each time has been a pretty good experience. Upon arriving, you are magically transformed into time and you are placed in the 50s. This is not your typical Johnny Rockets. It's spacious, fun, and has tons on their menu. Basically, you walk up and order your food. They have burgers, fries, sandwhiches, salads, hot dogs, and other stuff. You pay and get a number. Then you go find a seat and wait to be served. Of course they are playing 50s tune. Of course they have a jukebox too! Oh and tons of memorabilia! The best part is their coffee and shakes station. They have lattes, shakes, sundaes, malts, and ice cream. Yum! It's a fun place to check out and hang out with friends. Good food and fun atmosphere! read more

I love it at Legends. Great salads, shakes, burritos, burgers, and everything. Fun atmosphere too.

The drive thru staff here is totally rude. I normally go to the Upland and Rancho one and they are great. I only go to the Glendora one because it is close to my work. When I ask for ranch they are totally annoyed with me (Rancho and Upland give you free ranch additional ones they charge sometimes). Quality of food is okay, I think Rancho and Upland are a little more generous. read more

Well, what can I say. I should have gotten the hint when I was walking in. i was walking behind another couple with a "take out" bag complaining that their order wasn't right. But I went in anyway. Hey, this place is called "legends" right? Big Mistake!!! Food was horrible ... HORRIBLE!!! I ordered the fish and chips. They came out burnt and the fries were soggy and cold! Even tho this is not a full service dinner, they could at least have some condiments on the table. Hell, even Carl's Jr. Has salt and pepper on there tables! So after sitting at my table disappointed about the food. I started reading the comments on yelp. I should have done that 1st !!! If I had I wouldn't be writing this right now. The comments of the staff are 100% true. They hate their jobs and it shows by their actions and body language. FYI .... If you think of coming here, walk away .... No, RUN AWAY! you'll thank me later read more

Maybe there was a time when this "diner" was kitchy and awesome, but that time seems to have slipped away. It's fun watching other patrons walk in expecting old school diner style seating and waiters/waitresses directing you to a table, possibly catching an old-style malt and shake station and maybe a few happy cooks and some good old 50's style music playing from a shiny Wurlitzer in the corner somewhere. NOPE! You walk in and are immediately greeted by a huge menu and a counter to order your fast-food style meals, including a few off-kilter foods of Greek heritage. The place is decorate with classic stuff, but all of which seems like it was gleamed from the shelves of Hot Topic "back in the day" as opposed to having an original air of nostalgia. Nothing about this place screams "classic diner". The food was mediocre at best. Unless you're really hungry and don't care what you eat, don't bother stopping here. read more

Judging by the reviews, I must assume that I went on an off day. There was a plethora of items to choose from on the menu splattered on the wall. It was a usual 50's diner vibe- definitely one of the hugest 'diners' i've seen. probably 2-3 times bigger then the usual. I ordered the grilled chicken salad. The orders promptly came out with sad looking slices of chicken. it had a strange, shriveled quality to it- and right now, I'm not sure if it was actually grilled. the temperature of the meat was a bit lukewarm. but that's okay, when it revisited me later, it was a nice 98.7 degrees. read more

This evening I ordered two double scoop ice creams in the drive through, got to the window to receive two single scoop icecream, I told the lady "Those are not double scoop" she persisted, I got screwed read more

I have to give a shout out to the giant salads these guys serve here. I have had the Greek salad: great olives, plenty of salty feta, cukes, and tomatoes on a massive pile of greens, (about 95% iceberg lettuce). and give that about a three and 1/2 star. But, ... Monday I picked up one of the Avocado Salads at the drive through and for $6.13 here is what you get: A whole Hass avocado sliced, some red onion and green pepper slices, about half a cucumber, and a whole tomato in wedges piled up on what must have been a quart or more of mixed greens. All fresh and green. On the side, you get TWO tubs of dressing, a pair of high quality knives and forks, (you guys who have tried to eat takeout salads with cheap plastic forks know what I'm talking about here), plenty of napkins and a nice warm stack of Syrian flat-bread wrapped up. Dude! You cannot put a salad like this together at the super for this price. Really a bargain for two. read more

The atmosphere is fun and the food is classic fast American food. The car shows on Sunday are great!

A classic retro diner placed smack on Route 66. The atmosphere of this restaurant fits the feel of Route 66. Their burgers here are top notch but their salads need to be chopped and prepared better in my opinion. Overall this is a perfect place to go with family, friends, and teammates! read more

Legends Classic Diner - The dinning area of the restaurant - American Near Me - Glendora, California

Ryan Q. is right about the portions... the standard order of onion rings is massive. It matches the size of this establishment with high ceilings and large floor space. Everything is pretty much "new-looking" even though the memorabilia is historic. Tables and chairs are always clean not like other fast food establishments. Besides the usual burger/sandwich/mexican food selection, you can also order from the breakfast menu anytime. Also leave room for dessert; they have a decent selection of sundaes, banana splits, shakes, malts, chai ice tea, blended coffee drinks, etc. read more

The 60s theme decor is fun. Came here close to midnight on a weekday. Lots of parking. You place your order at the front counter and the server will bring the food to your table when it's ready. We had the cheeseburger, pastrami chili cheese classic fries with a chocolate shake. The chocolate shake is really good. Pastrami, chili and cheese on fries!!! With a side of mustard. Damn worth the calories. All i needed were some pickles. Cheeseburger was all right. Too much bun action. Good place to stop by if your driving down route 66 and they're open till 12am. Get the shake! read more

See all

Awesome place! Wonderful food. Perfect atmosphere. Would just grill the burgers instead of flat fry and less seasoning on the salt.

Hours of Operation (as of 6/4/2012) Sunday - Thursday: 10am - 11pm Friday - Saturday: 10am - Midnight Been going for years...they have a little bit of everything. All done average or better. Their ice cream novelties rate higher (Shakes, malts, banana splits....) Carne asada taco plate feeds 2+ people or one really large & hungry person. Salads are huge FYI. read more

I should have 20 "check-in" here. But, I get so lost and forget to do my "Yelp Check-in" all the time. We love this place. the ambiance is so much fun. That 50's look. So classic! The food is delicious. The drive through is not as impressive. Once or twice, they mess up on an order. Not a big deal. For example, I ask for 3 fries, and get only 2, luckily, i'm only charged for 2. Or I don't get enough condiments. Other then that... if you want to go somewhere fun, and good food, can't go wrong here. read more

I think Legends is between three and four stars, but I wanted to give them five to counterbalance all the ridiculous one star reviews. Legends is a little more expensive but also a little better both in quality and atmosphere than the standard burger place with a discus thrower and the Acropolis on the soda cups. Their sides and desserts are especially good. Most of the bad reviews here focus on poor service. Look, bad service is when the sommelier steers you to bad bottle of wine, not when the person at the counter is insufficiently friendly, or more to the point, insufficiently deferential. If you go into a fast food place expecting subservience, man... This is why we can't have nice things. read more

Lady at drive through tonight was horrible!! I asked for a chili cheese fry add on and she about lost it!! Really???? You should be thankful by me buying food I'm paying your paycheck!! She sighed and said this guy wants to add more fries I already gave him his food. I was like oh I'm sorry you said the small chili fries were enough for two? But they were enough for barely one!!! Rude very rude read more

Huge portions, and it's priced accordingly. I ordered the patty melt which came with two big patties. It is excellent. It could use some mustard. The small onion rings are really a large. Some of the best seasoned rings I've ever had. Chocolate malt wasn't malty enough, but at least it was small. $15 for my meal was a lot, but it is enough for two meals, so share it. It deserves 5 stars, because you get $15 worth of food, but it ain't no Carnegie Deli, so they need to lessen the portions and lower the price. read more

It's a fun little place to sit and eat. You walk in place your order and find yourself somewhere to sit. It's definitely fun to look around, they really banked on the fact that this little joint is right on Route 66 and it shows! The prices are a little stiff. The food is okay, if you want great diner food head to Grand Burger, it lacks the flash but makes up for it in taste and value. My only real complaint is how incredibly loud it can be in here at times, I mean LOUD. It's not as bad earlier in the day or on the weekdays, but in my experience on the weekends the decibel levels in here can rival Chuck E Cheese. read more

Bomb food. I like bringing my family here, this place is so awesome. I recommend this place to everybody.
