Glendora Continental

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.

The worst service. People sitting at the bar obviously are regulars, just have blank stares on their faces. 🥴Looking clueless 😂 Waited 30 minutes for waitress to even acknowledge us. Never did. Guess turning around took too much effort. Wanted to order dinner & enjoy the band. Had to go to the bar to get a drink. Had one drink and left to Clubhouse 66 where we had a great meal & drinks. Band was good at the Continental for the short time we stayed. Security guard was the most engaging & nice person there.🤣 Leaves another thought, why does a restaurant need a security guard 🤔🤦‍♀️ 🤷‍♀️

I would like to say thank you to our server, Samantha and Bernadette. Both ladies were super friendly, courteous and helpful. I took my honey to celebrate his birthday at the Continental. The menu for lunch is great. You can have appetizers, sandwiches or lunch entrees. Honey had a lamb sandwich with onion rings. This lunch was $11. I had the prime rib with potatoe salad, veggies and clam chowder. There are other selections to pick from. The prime rib ($15) and clam chowder was great. They also have chicken, salmon, ribeye steak. They have a main dinner room and a banquet room besides the bar area. You can enjoy the dining in the bar side too. Fridays and Saturdays, they have live bands so it gets crowded. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. Thank you Samantha and Bernadette for making our dining experience . UPDATE: 4/2/2022: I celebrated my early birthday today. I love their clam chowder and prime rib. My family had salmon and chicken Alfredo. Everything is perfect tasting. Our server, Gabby was great. I would come back again.

We wanted to have a nice casual dinner to celebrate a birthday, and we weren't disappointed. We had prime rib and lobster tails. Both were perfect! We're looking forward to the next birthday celebration. In the mean time, we plan to return to try some of the other interesting items we spotted on the menu.
