Flying Legends in York

Food good, me like food. Yummy in my tummy

Despite being busy service was super fast! Food was really tasty in good portions sizes for the price. Cannot fault our visit here ☺️

The service was excellent. They had a function on later that evening so lots of tables were reserved but they tried hard to seat everyone that came in. They had lots of staff who were very attentive and checked we were OK. We come regularly and always have great service.

Everytime i come in here i always have amazing experience from food to service to everything else.. simply an managerial masterpiece from callum and all his staff 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Highly recommend Welcoming pub , food and staff are amazing

Been here a few times never been disappointed Callum and his team make this place what it is.. never been in such an all rounded well organised and perfectly run hungry horse .. smashed it 👏👏👏

Well what a disappointment to finish our weekend away in York!! The bar staff were friendly however the 2 girls working clearing tables and bringing out food looked like they certainly didn’t want to be there. Rude and arrogant. Get another job girls because you certainly aren’t happy in the one you’re in. The food was ok but the carrots were very very undercooked and we saw quite a lot of other guests also leaving them. The puddings were different when we both ordered the same and when we asked why we were just told ran out of cream. Surely you either apologise as you’re putting it down on the table or ask us beforehand. The toilets were awful too. The word legend in the pubs name certainly needs to be changed. I certainly won’t be visiting here again and they certainly didn’t want to hear my complaints !!!!

Fabulous food.. I havnt been to the flying legend for years... The quad burger was to die for with salt n pepper chips topped with man n cheese.. We couldn't finish it so the lively staff gave us some foil to take them home.. 100% going to come more often xx

Always good value for money and amazing food for the price yes its not mitchelling but these chains arnt you get what you see . The staff are always so helpful and are usually ran off their feet. They do seem to get flack off the undesirable customers who also make an awful mess . But most appreciate them . I would say it is by far the best pub chain place to eat in York easily.

Just been in for lunch at the Flying Legends. Had a small hiccup with our order but the Manager was incredibly helpful and apologetic and resolved the issue immediately.

All good had a nice meal not overly busy good value for your money didn't have to wait long and nice healpfull staff, easy to find on maps, and nice place to take the family, I took my niece out as I live in Northamptonshire so it's nice to treat her once in a while didn't have any problems getting a table at short notice it was a week day/ evening so might be different at the weekends 😀

Good food service quick and friendly

Right well I booked a table for a 16th birthday.the service was bad from go .the food come out cold ! Accused the 16 yr old with me Of swearing 🤬 the manager lied and was out of order !! I was told I would get a refund for the bad food . experience was bad here !!!

food is vile n all the staff do is lie n watch you eat

Very friendly and helpful staff,

Quality of food has significantly improved compared to the last visit which was a number of months prior to this visit. Staff seemed much more engaged and helpful

Great Breakfast, great experience, recommend

Nice food, friendly bar staff. Our waiter Al or Alex was lovely, spoke to the children, really attentative.

Been out Christmas 🎄 shopping popped in for tea both had 11oz rump steak cooked exactly as ordered Lovely friendly service from Danielle very helpful will be back again 🙂

Good food managed to fit large table for 10 people in. Friendly service

Would never visit again!! Only given 1 star as I couldn't give none!! I was in a group of 8. My own meal came out freezing cold as did all 3 of my children's meals! They were sent back 15 minutes later they were brought back out luke warm!! One meal was missing completely but the sauce that came with it was sent out which went cold, when asked for a replacement as it was no fault of our own they took it away and microwaved it leaving thick skin on the top so still couldn't be used. We all ended up eating at different times due to their negligence! We ordered at 8pm finally getting our last order brought out at 8.50pm my children were starving! The manager was pleasent and helpful but the waiting staff were rude rolling their eyes because their food was not even satisfactory!! Definitely avoid

Came in for a quick Monday night grill. Food was good value for money. Natalie was exceptionally welcoming and friendly.

Family meal following our daughter’s wedding. Wonderful food, great portions, good value for money. Very helpful staff as always.

We had breakfast, the service was great, and the food was plentiful. Thank you,

Really nice food, friendly staff and food came out quickly too!!! Good veggie options too, and tables were clean and tidy

Lovely Waffle Benedict. Excellent service. I forgot to take a picture as I inhaled the food 😂

Ordered of the super special menu- tandoori chicken sizzler came piping hot on a skillet, my friend ordered the New York chicken the breast was massive the whole menu had great value with deals every day. My server Callum was so attentive recommending me the new cherry kraken rum and asked if I’d like fries to go with my food Natalie brought over our food with a nice warm welcome. The pub is clean and well kept although could do with some investments. I will certainly be recording it to my friends.

We come here often the food is always good and such amazing prices. Natalie, our waitress was so helpful. Highly recommended.

Lovely breakfast. Very good prices. We definitely will return.

Does deserve any stars! If you want to sit there waiting along with everyone else for bad food with staff that don't care, I can recommend!

Food was great and also great value. Beer was good too. Much better than when this pub first opened. Very popular with families.

All day breakfast disgusting meat was like rubber as if off morning used on afternoon

We came whilst on holiday. Lovely food, friendly staff and quick service, overall a very nice experience and will definitely return! :)

We had the steak meals, but there wasn't a great choice to add to them unless you wanted nachos, or corn on the cab

Pretty standard quality for a chain restaurant

As a university student, I first came across this pub after going to the Vue next door. Since then it has become a ritual among my friend group to go here before/after going to the cinema. The food is good value and has always tasted amazing, and the staff have the perfect balance between casual and professional. I have since graduated from university, but came here both times I returned to York (from London) to visit my postgrad friends. Overall, this is definitely a 5 star pub and I would recommend.

Only called in for burger but was good and beer very good

Nice breakfast, good place for a quiet business meeting.

Recently visited here from the moment I walked in till I left it was by far the best experience I've had. A young man named callum was serving on the bar he was so bubbly full of life and never stopped. He chatted with myself and my friends and recommended fab places to visit whilst in York. He bought our meals across too our table leaving a card thing for us to give feedback well callum it's a ten from len 😂😂honestly the place was so clean his staff are an asset too the company as is callum he explained about the meal choices and the drinks deals and hands down he does the best baby Guinness ever 😀 so thankyou and yes we did make it for breakfast the following day back to the legends its not called the flying legends for nothing as that's all the staff do fly and never stop so keep it up and we will be back

Best place to eat if you want value for your money

Excellent food. Good value and friendly helpful staff.

Cheap and ok don't expect the world but good value for little money

Open, welcoming and friendly. Food was great, choice impressive. Nobody else there so service was great.

Very good food and very good service by Nat would highly recommend a visit

Amazing hospitality.. Warm welcoming staff specially Becca, Robert, Amber and Harley. Loved it. They all were exceptional specially Becca.❤️

Been here quite a few times and have not had any issues previously. Unfortunately 3 of our party ordered the roast beef on Sunday 13th October. The beef was awful tough as my Army boots, i struggled to eat it infact you couldn't. The other food was fine just seems the roast dinners are a let down there at the moment. However I can't fault the service just the Roast Beef.

Came for lunch Christine served us, she was very friendly and chatty great service too would 100% return

Cheap and cheerful lunch out. Being Saturday we saved approx £8 on meals in the Saturday deal. We had the crown of burgers (big meal) and the tandoori chicken sizzler (healthier option) and both were tasty and filling. Service was great and friendly. Would come again :)

Callum is doing a brilliant job with his staff, had a fish finger sarnie today. Tasty, good size too. Place looks really clean and tidy too!

Was there for someones birthday. Found it a little drafty. I had lasagna which was good.

Great service and friendly staff, with a good food selection. Tasty, but some items were colder than I'd prefer. Hungry horse franchise so families, and also has a wacky warehouse children's area

Do not order the Sunday lunch, turkey is frozen re heated Bernard Matthew’s style and disgusting, mash is smash Vegetables under cooked not al dente ( undercooked) All lukewarm warm too, not great at all sadly.

Food was really good and really well priced, they had a pool table so after a hard days work it was good to get a game of pool

I would not recommend.Horrible service and very dry and overcooked food .

We are here last week and decided to come again for the 2 for 1 burger Friday. We really enjoyed it. Being a vegan it's not always easy but our vegan burger was very tasty. The chips were ok. I asked for a glass of water and it was presented nicely with ice. The service was great. We might now come back for Wednesday's curry deal, it's very tempting!

Great food and value for money fantastic staff, lovely place. Leah is a very helpful lady

Good for a quick, cheap meal. Food - big portion, low quality. Service - friendly but slow and constantly confused. Atmosphere.... good if you like drinking, shouting, and kids running everywhere.

Waited with only 2 people in from me to be served only 1 member of staff on the till, she was taking orders doing the drinks and serving ice creams, the 2 people took over 10 minutes to get their orders done then another member of staff came and I was told it would 35 minute wait for food so we left and went elsewhere. I can't comment on the food but service for a Sunday lunchtime was useless.

Excellent breakfast. The staff - especially Chrissie are so friendly and helpful. See you next time !

Excellent meeting place with friends. Light meals and snacks and cakes. Staff very friendly. Help given with wheelchairs.

Staff always friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere

Good food,very reasonable price and pleasant staff.

Chips were cold and chicken very dry. But otherwise the food was tasteful & good. Very helpful staff.

Now under new management a lot cleaner.

Excellent for the inexpensive menu 👏 we will be back soon. Very friendly and efficient staff members

Meals are very lovely. Staff are friendly and welcoming

Was lovely to see Callum back at the restaurant. had a lovely meal of scampi thoroughly enjoyed it. I lost my dear husband back in May 2014 and he is dearly missed ..Callum was very good at looking after me on that day.. Will definitely be back

Perfect service very accommodating to my grandmas food needs. Thank you

Not very good staff very abrupt and quite rude food over cooked.

Visited today ordered a rump steak from the mix it deal from the menu. The steak really fatty when mentioned this to the manager I was told they would mention this to their supplier!!! Asked to take some chicken strips home they said yes and put some foil on the table for us to wrap the food in!!!! All in all not great I must say all the staff were very pleasant. We were offered an ice cream on the house! J

Not the place 4 me food was poor and staff looked like they didnt want to be there

Ate here twice food was good,price not bad.

We visited as a mixed group aged 4 to late 50's, something for everyone, reasonable prices, good choice and great staff. All 6 of us enjoyed the experience very much.

Thoroughly enjoyed the meal such a good price £44 for a pint 2 pints of coke and fanta, and 2 kids meals and 2 adult meals. Rapid service food was spot on. Seated straight away. Nice one thanks.

Burger was really dry husband had mixed grill ran out of chicken so gave him extra onion ring. And I mean Ring (1) steak over cooked staff had no interest when we told them won't be going again

Lovely staff, great atmosphere and very clean. Overall would definitely recommend.

Fabulous service good food and great family atmosphere Very busy and staff were still.smiling and helpful Good waiting time for food and very tasty-mini mixed grill was fabulous

Excellent food, generous portions and friendly staff at a reasonable price. Service was very quick and we will return when we’re back in York.

Nice food really reasonably priced staff really nice and friendly much cheaper up north than down south

Portion sizes (specifically fries / onion rings) are little on the small side. Not sure if this was intentional or that somebody tripped and lost a few on route.

Really wonderful service, especially from Amber. She was fun and communicative with our three girls at the table and very attentive. Smiley and helpful all round. The man that saw us when we arrived was very lovely! Shame we live 6 hours away or we would definitely be back! Thank you for making what could’ve been a stressful dining experience with a 9 month old, 2 year old and 10 year old very enjoyable.

Popped in for lunch on a Saturday. It wasn't too crowded but also not empty, which gave it a nice vibe. We ordered via the app and the food arrived in around 20/25 minutes. The vegan fish & chips was delicious and one of the best fish alternatives I've had. The jerk chicken special was a decent size portion and was mostly hot aside from a couple of the wings. The roast jerk chicken had a nice taste but we were let down but how dry and overcooked it was.

Great service, clean and great choice of food.

Fab service and the food was amazing

Lovely meal and staff really polite

We had some errands to run on a Sunday morning and this was the only local place open for breakfast so we decided to drop in. We haven't been for a while because the last meal we had here (over a year ago) was sub standard. However, we were pleasantly surprised by how clean it was, the friendly and professional attitude of the staff, the efficiency of service, and also the food on this occasion. We had the English breakfast and a coffee and it was all nice. Based on this visit, we'll definitely visit again.

Had a Fantastic meal tonight,all five meals we're great , staff were fantastic too . Only disappointment was that there was no horseshoe donuts left

Not a great 1st impression when you are walking in & two women are doing a fantastic job of impersonating two fish wives & their prowess at how many swear words they know & who can shout them the loudest

Cheap and cheerful pub food. Plenty of choice and lots of deals. Large selection of drinks. All staff really friendly.

Nice place and fair prices, food pretty decent, close by to loads of other places

It's a nice pub with a nice ambience and friendly/caring staff, we had a good time here, and the food was delicious, There is a nice family section too.

It is what it is, fitted our purpose perfectly, food was good, cider was chilled and all staff we interacted with were lovely.

Called in for our tea on a very busy night . Got seated straight away .ordered ultimate mixed grill and ultimate big combo .food arrived very quickly piping hot ,full of flavour and cooked perfectly .

First they didn't have what my wife wanted so had to order a chicken burger. They both arrived with no coleslaw so the rest was dry. Only came with 2 onion rings and the fries were overdone. Was told they could only do pints of soft drinks no doubt double the price. And the staff on the bar seemed like they couldn't give a damn.

Quick service and friendly staff

Excellent, well priced food and drink.

Good sunny outdoor eating and drinking area

Staff helpful and pleasant. The food is excellent value. Good atmosphere. Would definitely return

I don't like posting bad reviews however I won't be returning here again unless I'm dying of starvation. Ordered the gravy burger. Not sure what sauce it was but it definitely wasn't gravy. Paid an extra 50p for salt and pepper chips.... dont do it!!! Whatever spice was put on it bared no resemblance to salt and pepper at all, it tastes like aniseed and ruines the chips. Asked if the fish had skin on and was told... 'erm, don't know but I'd guess not'. Stood there for 5 minutes looking confused then said they'd ask the chef. My son spilt a drink so I asked someone for a cloth to clean it. A different guy came out, started wiping the seat, looking at us every 10 seconds and then asked if it was clean!! I then had to go to the bar to buy another drink and ask for more cloth to clean the table as the guy who wiped the seat didn't think the drink all over the table needed cleaning. Ordered dessert via the app, 3x 2 scoops of ice cream, they brought out 2 then proceeded to argue that we'd only ordered 2 until we showed them the order form. Ordered ice cream with sauce but needed a magnifying glass to find the sauce. The cheesecake was so dry too, not sure how that's possible but it isn't edible. Sat eating ice cream and not 1 but 2 servers both within 30 seconds of each other came to ask if I'd finished the ice cream when clearly I hadn't. The only saving grace was the bar man who was friendly and competent.

Service was exemplary, food great for the price. Nice play area for the children
