Legends Diner

Food is not gud quality. Oil used was smelling weird. Overall the place and food is not hygenic.
The burger patty was overcooked and the oil on it seemed as it was reused or stale. The bacon was also not tasting fresh.
I live closeby and would only got to this place in case nothing else is open as it is 24 hours.

Definitely my favorite diner in Secaucus. Love Mr. Angelo and all the staff, who are fun no matter WHAT time you roll in. Yes, it’s off the beaten path, but that means when all the Rt. 3 diners are packed, you can still get a seat, even on Sunday morning. Fantastic food in generous portions.

I guess it’s your typical NJ diner… pretty GOOD at everything, but not GREAT at anything. That being said, I usually order from the «specials» menu because that includes soup or salad and dessert. The specials that are always good are the fish and chips (fish is always fresh), they have this triple francaise combo (I forget the exact name, but it has chicken, shrimp, and scallops) over rice… that is actually pretty amazing for diner fare. And I always stand by the lasagna… always sturdy, but never dry/burnt…and never runny either. Almost forgot the «Happy Waitress» its a 2 sided grilled cheese w/​tomato and bacon served w/​fries.
Soups …I always enjoy the Manhattan clam chowder or chicken noodle.
Salad.they have a pretty extensive Salad Bar (stuffed grape leaves are always available, as well as some other out of the ordinary items)
Dessert…the rice pudding is always good… as well as the carrot cake.
Aside from the foods… the service is always excellent!!! And if you’re lucky enough to be served by Joyce or Carmen (they are the best of the best), you will definitely say they are the best waitresses you’ve ever had!!!

Mediocre service. The waitress looked bored and annoyed. Not the best diner and certainly not the best service.

The food here is standard diner food. I usually only get breakfast from them and an occasional salad. I have always found them to be satisfactory.
The prices are reasonable and typical of what you’ll pay in most NJ diners.
They have their own parking lot which is very convenient.

Went there last night… There was no on to greet us so we sat ourselves down. It seems they were understaffed or maybe thats the norm for a Saturday night. There was one hostess, one waitress and one cook. Took awhile to place order and receive it. Ordered two kids meals and a burger for myself. Poor waitress was running around like crazy for a total of 5 tables about 12 ppl. Food was okay. Kids liked it. The downside was when the hostess added $ 200 extra to my bill and didn’t mention the error to me. I found out while still at the diner and I received an alert from my bank. I had to ask the hostess about it and thats when she said something. She assured me it was an easy fix error once she processed the final payment. Well here I am note than 17 hours later and my bank still has a pending transaction for $ 225! Good thing I didn’t depend on those extra $ 200 for this weekend or i would be screwed.

Ive been wanting to try this diner for years since Ive had been trying out diners in the area! Last saturday’s experience was a disappointment! Walked in at 1230am and it was empty except for the Lady hostess who couldnt care to see us to a table and the Waitress! The menu itself bored the two of us — the only customers — too wordy and uninteresting choices! To make a horrible experience bearable to read and be useful — Legends Sampler is a sad choice of dried up fried mix of unappetizing samples — avoid! When we asked the lovely waitress to suggest a hot sandwich — the long pause and thinking expression should have given it away — Panini Cheesetake in Hero sandwich with peppers onion cheese — i stead of curly fries please substitute with sweet potato fries with mayo please! The order had to be sent back as its being laid on the table because its served with fries and not sweet potato and «oh i forgot the mayo»! Overall, old hero bread, cold cheese and medium steak slices were horrible! Please spare yourself the time and hunger to a fast food place! Spent $ 30 and an hour lost with an agreement never to return until new management is in order! Nothing Legend here!

They are your typical diner honestly; nothing terrible, but nothing amazing. If you end up coming here, I suggest you stick to food that diners are known for. They have pretty good breakfast food, pancakes, paninis, and burgers. I am a fan of the Wild West Burger, which is a burger patty (obviously — lol), cheddar cheese, bacon, fried onions, and barbecue sauce.
I was not impressed with the higher end meals /​Italian favorites like their Chicken Parmigiana; the sauce was not impressive. I guess I shouldn’t expect much since it is a diner.
The staff is really a hit or miss — some waitresses are extremely nice and friendly while others seem absolutely miserable working. Also, one time I called in a pick-​up order and the person on the phone was very blunt and rude.

This has to be the worst diner in New Jersey. I work locally so I have Been here three times. The service is generally slow, I found a large hair in my eggs and when I showed the waitress she just shrugged and made some sarcastic comment about the lack of attention to detail by the kitchen.

While a lot of the diners in sort of «Mishmash Near the Hudson River» area tend to go fancy-​meets-​TGI-​Fridays, Legends Diner is sitting pretty in the chrome-​and-​photos-​of-​movie-​stars Jersey Diner Zone.
I love this zone. This is my favorite zone.
Got breakfast rather late on a Monday night, was done very well – partner’s Disco Fries were also great. The gravy was either the good kind of canned or home made. Cheap enough that I don’t really care.
The service was graceful and sweet; heard another table having a tiny issue (they were out of an item) and both the server and the manager came out to make sure everything was right. Felt good to see that happen, even if there was a mishap.
Also, salad bar? Heck yes.

From the outside, this diner looks nice but once you step inside, it’s completely different. It’s old and dirty. When we got our food, there were little hairs in between my sandwich and the forks were dirty. I don’t recommend this place at all. The buffalo sandwich was tasty but the French fries were soggy.

I’ve eaten here quite a few times, given that I live close-​by. In my opinion the place is neat and the food is decent. Prices are reasonable and the servers are super nice. It’s probably more of 3.6 for my taste, but I’ll round it to 4.

I can barely give this place one star. On the outside it looks like a cool retro diner. On the inside its dated, dirty and disgusting. I couldn’t wait to leave. The food is plain and bland. Nothing special at all. Tables are set with paper placements with all sorts of uninteresting advertising on them. Consider yourself lucky if you get out of here without getting sick

I come here all the time they have had the same waitresses for as long as I can remember they always chat with us cause we know them so well I aways get the French onion soup so yummy
Huge parking lot their own parking lot parking along the street as well huge inside a lot of seating they are fast with the service the food always comes out the way you request
It’s clean and they will accommodate any request you have the servers are kind polite and efficient the manager is always inside and the first person to greet the customers he is kind and always seats the guest it’s a good clean place to come to to grab a bite to eat

The best and very clean diner around! I can honestly say I never had a bad meal ever! The theme is about movie and rock star legends and their décor is awesome!
Stop by and try it and you won’t regret it!

Was on my way to Quiznos for dinner and saw this place. Looked decent so I made a u-​turn and went inside. They had a ton on daily specials that included a cup of soup, salad & desert. The soup was good. I was not pleased with the salad bar. It did not look appealing at all. The dinner rolls were ok. Pretty much everything was mediocre except the service was good. I wasn’t impressed enough to ever return though. There are numerous diners with much better flavor to their food.

Delicious Montecristo… HUGE! My girlfriend ordered quite a complicated order, yet it came out perfectly. Regular diner fare but very clean and delish! Waitress lovely and attentive

Nom Nom Nom Nom! Living here at one time, was my favorite dinner to come too. Let me put it this way, the only one in town!
The service is great. Very friendly. They no their menu, if your undecided. They will recommend what you feel have a taste for.
I must say their Burgers and salads are delicious! I am a fan or the taco shell Cesar salad. So Good! Crisp to a tee. Burger and fries good portions!
Not expensive, well worth it!

We ate lunch on a Tuesday and it was about 60% full.
My group was a bit disappointed. Diners can be touch and go, but the service was slow and unattentive. The ambience is nice because the mid-​century décor is great. We had four dishes; two were terrible, one was fine, and the fourth was good.
Although not terrible, I would recommend trying other restaurants in the area.

I would actually give them 3 ½ stars. This is your typical NJ diner located less than 1 mile from exit 15X on the NJ Turnpike.
Came here today after the Giants training session with my brother. I had the Turkey club sandwich on whole wheat. My brother had the Monte Cristo on Rye.
The food is good, you get large portions and the prices are reasonable. It is a filled with all old time photos of stars from the past.
If you are in the area and hungry it is a good place to go, it is open 24 hours and easy to get to. Anytime I have been there I have never had a problem getting seated right away.
