I love this place. I visit my daughter in Tacoma and stop here weekly. I usually get the mushroom cheese steak sandwich or the cheeseburger. Both are great and I love the fries also. read more

Very yummy, always fresh. My favorite spot for burgers & cheesesteak in Washington state so far.

We ordered two Philly cheese steak sandwiches. The bread was fresh and toasted, the steak was tender and full of flavor. The sandwich had sauce, cheese, onion and peppers. Totally delicious. read more

I drove past it but I know the hood, swing in and I get a half provolone and half slice of American cheese. Ordered a plain steak w/ cheese and the chick wanted to argue. Cars backed up an I didn't wanna be that guy. But really sliced cheese in a cheesesteak? read more

See all

For once I drove by this place when there wasn't a crazy line. Thought I'd give it a try. I bought a deluxe single cheeseburger 1/4. It was delicious, freshly made, and a good size. Compared to frisky freeze, I would definitely come back here instead. The size and pricing was reasonable. However, for 2 burgers I waited 10-15 minutes. So they could speed up a little. read more

Legendz - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The best family-owned restaurant! I tried all their menus and love it all! My personal faves are philly cheese steaks, cheese burgers, lamb/beef gyros. read more

This was pretty good. It is mainly a drive through so don't come thinking you'll sit down unless it's warm outside. I ordered the Philly cheese steak. It was quite tasty. The fries were ok. I also ordered an Oreo shake. It was pretty good too. The price is really good though. I think it is good for the price. It is a little run down though. I would come back if it was on my way. read more

The workers were polite, happy made some recommendations and positive! Stop by go see them grab some food and leave a tip!

Best drive-thru burger in Tacoma! We've tried a bunch of local burger joints and always end up coming back here. Great prices and friendly service, too! Highly recommend!!! read more

I have lived in WA. most of life and never been to legendz until today, I was in the area and decided to go somewhere I have never been, just ordered a basic cheeseburger and French fries, fries was seasoned perfectly and my cheeseburger was actually pretty good. read more

Confused is this a burger joint or Philly or seafood spot. The Philly looked good but small, the burger didn't have flavor and the drinks watered down. Our fries were alright but nothing to remember. Not going back as they pushed for a tip but did nothing extra or expected to get a tip. Good try but not going back. read more

Been there two times. Both had a long wait. The first philly sandwich was really good. So I ignored the wait. The second time it had a weird cheese and tasted like it had some kind of thousand island dressing. I did not care for it. The woman who handed me the order was wearing a mask but the young man who took my credit card was wearing hi mask down on his chin. So neither mouth or nose covered during Covid. Not worth the wait. I won't be back. read more

Legendz is the straight up underground tip on gyros in Tacoma. Who serves Philly Cheese Steaks AND Gyros? Legendz does fool! I usually get the gyro with fries and have never been disappointed. The people working always seem pretty chill. So chill that it's pretty slow so don't be in a hurry. This is probably not the best place to take a suburban full of kids after soccer practice for a quick bite, due to the amount of time the average order seems to take. However, if you find yourself in the neighborhood and you're trying to get down on some delicious fast food that's not technically a big fast food chain. Legendz is the jam. read more

I'm from South Philly. Home of the original Cheesesteak. Not to say a Legendz cheesesteak is bad. It isn't. Just different. Regional. Like a cousin from Alabama with a southern accent. Or in this case, a PNW weirdo. But their Gyro is worth a mention. The beef one is on point. read more

So, I stop by MSM deli to grab a sandwich. I was looking for a quick, satisfying belly bomb before motorcycling back to Shoreline. Got there and found the wait for a sandwich was 30 minutes. 30 minutes for a sammich! Unless the lettuce is gold leaf, I did not need it that bad. Looked up a nearby place and Legendz pops up. It is a no frills drive through with a couple of tables, just down the road. Got a Beef cheese steak and fries. Toasted roll with a ranch/Mayo dressing was a perfect blend and really hit the mark. Oh, they apologized for needing 5 minutes to make it! This was a win find for me and will be my new sammich stop in this area. I will, however, ride by the other place and laugh at everyone waiting for their sandwiches. Waiting 30 minutes for a sandwich-uh..... nope. Give these guys a shot. A good, earthy bite to eat...... read more

OMG, this burger was the best in a l-o-o-o-n-n-n-g time! Juicy, charbroiled, HUGE HOT mushrooms with MELTED Swiss, accompanied by HOT french fries ... stop here for one of the South Sound's best values for quality pit stop food. Service was lack-lustre, but hey, you can't have it all! read more

Well, today I stopped by for a burger and fries. Ordered, pulled up and gave the person my card. She comes back with my card is declined sir. Ok, my chip has been acting funny lately, so I say please run it again, she did, declined. I get home and call USAA. Nope nothing wrong, it appears you tried to purchase 8.08 at Legendz but it was declined because the expiration date was typed in wrong, didn't match. Totally embarrassing. The only review I've ever posted. Someone can't read, wow read more

I had a burger from here a few days ago and it was the best burger I've ever eaten. really good burger. highly recommend eating their burgers, i havent tried anything else just the burger which is pretty good. read more

A Hilltop Tacoma institution, Legendz is a mainstay in a community with many changes. Over the course of the past 20 years, they been the constant community location for good burgers and food, for that matter. Having been called Fantastic Burgers in the last, Legendz have worked hard to keep the quality high and the burgers tasting homemade! I don't get anything too fancy - just a good old single or double if I had a particularly crappy day. The service is wonderful and the folks working there are very polite and attentive. Be aware that your order may take longer than usual to be prepared. I just look at it as they are taking their time in giving me a great burger. Take my advice and go there to eat. You won't regret it. read more

Called in a to go order was told to wait 10 minutes. Came in about 15 minutes after they hadn't even started my order so in the end calling a order to go was pointless. When I called I asked for no veggies they gave me veggies and had to redo it and put yellow cheese? Not sure if it was to spite me for having it redone but it was there fault for not taking my order down. They were in a hurry to get it out so fries were undercooked and soggy you guys suck. Won't ever go back read more

Legendz - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Closed and over run with homeless... not even safe to go there (don't be fooled by lit "open" sign)... I sat in parking lot and watch 3 other cars do the same thing I did. Pull in for nothing and then get harassed in various ways by people apparently "camping" in the parking lot. read more

I was disappointed. I ordered the Philly cheese steak with no onions, no peppers. I asked specifically for just meat and cheese on it. When I got home, guess what.....onions and peppers. If it would have come the way I asked for it, I would have rated it between a 3-4. The fries where good. Hot and fresh. My only other complaint is that they didn't give me any ketchup or ask if I wanted any. Probably won't go back. read more

I was recommended to this place by a friend. I'm a recent transplant to the area and was pleasemtly surprised. Me and my kids had a Philly and it was very hearty, pretty big sandwich. I asked the lady to not toast the bun, but it was toasted anyways. regardless, the Philles were great. I couldn't believe my kids ate up there entire sandwiches. It's only a drive-thru and walk-up, no dine-in. Lady was friendly, service was ok read more

Wish I could give negative stars. Called in an order of gyros. I arrived at the window after the 20 minutes and the employee told me to my face they were working on it. 40 MINUTES LATER another employee told me they don't have gyros. Haven't made them for over a month, and yet gyros are still on their physical menu and all the online delivery menus. Then the guy told us that the employee we had spoken with just left and they were closing up - at 215 in the afternoon. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. The customer service has tanked during the 17 years we have frequented Legendz. read more

The owner made every effort to make up for a bad experience and the food was delicious.

So I've eaten here and the other greek place down the street. And in comparison, this one is my choice as the better of the two. I ordered the beef/lamb gyro, fries, and a soda. $8.75 I think. Not expensive, not super cheap, but cost to portion size was really good. The amount of food was great considering I got 3 things. The fries, were hot, and shoe string, reminiscent of In and Out but obviously not. Gyro was big and meaty, good sauce and vegetables. Enjoyed the cucumber and onion. Overall a good meal and I would go here over the other place, given the choice. read more

Just had a double deluxe cheeseburger combo. The BEST cheeseburger I've had in a very long time!! Hot and fresh. The french fries were excellent. And the price cannot be beat!! read more

Shhhh! Don't tell Philadelphia but this Mushroom Philly Cheese steak is better than theirs (and I'm from Philly). Reading reviews while waiting in the drive-thru. 20 minutes went by. I swore I wouldn't say "worth the wait" in my own review-- but it was. It WAS! TIP: DON'T look inside the drive-thru building. Just grab your food and go enjoy it. read more

Food was excellent! We got the deluxe double burger, single burger and the beef gyro. Everything was cooked to perfection. Hand made flame grilled meat was so fresh! Flavor and seasoning were also spot on. The wait for the food was a little longer than normal but well worth the wait! The employees were also friendly and helpful as this was our first time eating here. Other reviews said otherwise, but our family had a pleasant experience. Definitely will be back here in the future! read more

We've ordered from here a couple of times and generally have had a good experience. First things first, if you are short on time, this is NOT a good idea for you as they don't cook your food until you order it. This means, no burger patties already cooked sitting in a tub waiting to be made into a sandwich and no shrimp bits sitting under a heat lamp waiting to be chowed down. Even though they have a drive up window, it is not a Drive Through like McDonald's or Burger King. It takes time to cook food, so if you have a 30 minute lunch break, you are going to want to either call ahead or go somewhere else. They also have a few tables set up outside if you want to "dine in" and the weather agrees with you. I typically get the Philly Cheese Steak and am quite fond of it. A few other places in town tend to slather em in so much grease that the bread is soggy by the time you get home. This one has just enough to honor the Philly Cheese Steak ideal, but not so much your bread tries to sog out on you. My husband said the gyros were pretty good- not good enough to write home about, but pretty good. Our son likes the fish and shrimp and he can be a picky eater sometimes. The only complaint I really have is that they like to cram the cups full of ice and then don't even fill them all the way up. In other words, you are paying for ice, and a cup - not a soda. We haven't had to special order anything (ie hold the peppers, or add cheese, etc.) so I have no idea how they are in that department. Overall, if you have the time (15-20 minutes depending on how long the line is), it's a good eat for the price as long as you ask for no ice in your drink. read more

Good burger. Next time I'll ask for medium, this one was well done. Lots of mustard (I hate that most places skimp on mustard) but lacking enough ketchup for my taste (I added more). If it had pickles, I don't recall. I guess not enough to be memorable. Lettuce was crisp, and there was a touch of onion. Overall, very decent. The fries were pretty bad, although my wife thought they were fine. I don't think they were fried, I think they might have been baked. Krinkle-cut, little to no flavor, kinda mushy, not crisp on the outside at all. I doused them with adobo seasoning to make them palatable. The shake was awesome. I got a Reese's shake, and it was really good. My wife got strawberry, and it had real strawberries in it (sweetened frozen berries, not fresh, but no biggie). I spent $16 on two full meals with shakes. That's pretty tough to beat. They make the food fresh (I had to wait a while at the drive-thru), and it makes a difference. I'll be back, but I'll skip the fries. Gyro is up next. read more

My go to spot for Gyros! This place is a hidden gem in Tacoma. Great tasting food and good prices as well. The place itself is deceiving because it's looks are the best but once you try their food....you will keep coming back for more. read more

In LA they have lil burger stands just like this one. It's not a cart or a stand really but like a hut, to be honest. The food looks good and is not bad to eat read more

Where do I even start. We ordered the food and we're very specific about the fact we only wanted meat and cheese. Nothing else. I'm from philly and like a really philly cheesesteak, just meat and cheese. Get to the window and they messed up the order. I explained that we just wanted meat and cheese, to their face. They come back out 8 minutes later and there are still onions in the cheesesteak and this nasty sauce we didn't want. The fries were limp and bland, the staff was rude. The only plus side was that the meat tasted good, if only they would get good employees who can listen to an order and cook good fries. I won't ever go back. read more

Excellent is part of the young ladies name for a reason the burgers are hand made the service is super friendly and the food is delish thank you miss X read more

I Recently went to this place is underrated They have amazing food and their hot burgers and fries I would give this place 10/10

Okay... I understand it takes a while to make two sandwiches. No one was really here, but it took about 8-10 minutes to receive my sandwiches, but it was totally worth the wait. SUPER DELICIOUS. Well worth the price too! I will definitely be back the next time I crave a cheesesteak. read more

Get the gyro! So yummy. Can't beat it for a quick and easy $5 lunch. Lots of different stuff that us just as good as the gyro. If you are trying to go there during the lunch rush you might wanna call it in tho! read more

They have some of the best cheesecakes I have ever tasted. I definitely recommend it with American cheese! It is even better reheated the next day. They cook them to order and they are worth the slightly longer wait. They are also always so incredibly polite and hospitable. One of my favorite places to grab a quick bite to eat. read more

Great burger and amazing onion rings, you won't be disappointed, worth the wait made to order, fresh ingredients and great service. Best burger in Tacoma. read more
