Loyal Legion

The food was amazing, and the quality was excellent. We had an hour to spare before our flight, and this restaurant was conveniently located right at the entrance of the airport, just before the security check. There were plenty of options for both beer and food, and it was a great place for vegetarian options as well.

Sat right at the bar. Three Bartenders ignored me for 15 minutes. It was not busy. Eventually someone asked what I wanted but sure seemed annoyed I was there. Service gets a two. Being ignored us inexcusable. Great beer selection. Just ordered a side of tots. They were good. Their in-house Ranch is awesome. Loved it. I didn’t eat enough to really speak to the food. Will try again next time we are here and if its better ill edit this review

My wife wanted to visit a café of some sort this weekend; unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of coffee, so my all of Yelp expertise was of little use. Yet one idea did occur to me: the new terminal at PDX is open now...surely there must be a pre-security coffee shop we could visit, right? I mean, come on, this is Portland! Where would we be without at least a Starbucks or a Stumptown on every streetcorner? There had to be some place worth grabbing a cup to jitter the nerves before an even-more nerve-wracking flight, right? As surmised, there is a coffee shop before the security gate; a couple of them, in fact, including all the repeat offenders I've already mentioned. And we ended up at none of them. Instead, my wife was enamored with the glitz and glamor of the new terminal, and wanted an elevated view of it while sipping a hot cup of...chili. Naturally, we ended up at Loyal Legion! Without getting too deep into the weeds, I'll summarize our experience here thusly: incredible service, excellent food and drinks, but small-ish portion sizes for the price. You can always expect and airport mark-up, and we were prepared for it, but everything seemed a bit on the anemic side. I had the McLoyal burger (a la carte, as all sandwiches are served, unless you specifically add on side dishes) and a Sazerac cocktail, both of which hit the spot for the savory and bitter notes I usually crave, but if I had my Druthers, each of them would have been a good 20%-30% larger. My wife did also get her cup of coffee, along with a cup of chili, the combination of which probably would explain why her stomach was unsettled later in the day, but that's her own fault for ingesting such a noxious concoction! Still, each of them was satisfying in their own regard, even if it isn't the most elegant of pairings. Again, the price seemed a little elevated for the quantity presented, in the case of the chili, but not outlandishly so. Being frequent travelers, my wife and I are very likely to return to PDX in the near-ish future, and Loyal Legion does offer some fantastic fare, but its pre-security location serves as both boon and burden to locals like us: if we're on an outbound flight, it's not spectacular enough to warrant a stop if time is of the essence, and getting through security is a primary objective. Similarly, it's not distinct enough in its offerings to draw us in to an inconvenient place like an airport terminal repeatedly, based solely on its own merits. Those things said, any casual traveler with time to spare, whether it be a long layover, arriving at the airport earlier than is necessary, or simply taking in the aesthetic of the new terminal, Loyal Legion hits all the marks of a quality pub in a traveler's hub. That alone should earn a legion of loyal customers enough to keep it in its lofty place above the concourse.

We just landed and wanted something different. We had their breakfast sandwiches. The bread was soft. Everything tasted good. Good coffee. The staff were kind and helpful.

Went here the Sunday before Labor Day. Very friendly service. Great prices. Nice atmosphere. Lots of stuff to look at. The staff were very attentive and friendly. There are non alcoholic beers and gluten free drinks as well which is much appreciated. We tried one of the sausages and it was delicious.

We ordered drinks and two ala cart items, drinks were made promptly at the bar and we carried them back to the table with our order number. 30min later I was back at the bar inquiring about where our food order was. The waitress brought our order shortly after but it was not what I ordered and my wife’s food was undercooked. I will not be returning there are plenty of other good options at the airport. Very disappointed! Picture is “Seasoned Potatoes “, looks a lot like tater tots and took 30min+

We were shocked at the corn dog breading flavor. That was a pleasant surprise. If there ever was one, this is the Gourmet corn dog, lol. The falafel burger was cooked perfectly, the ciabatta bread wasn’t overly hard. Great option!!

I rarely review but need to warn people about the horrible service. Sat at the bar and waited a while (only 4 people at the bar) to get a bartender to come by. "Sorry about the wait, what can I get you?" Ordered a beer & burger, got the beer and 20 min. later no food. Asked about it: "it should be ready soon." Another 20 min., no food. Bartender was nowhere to be found. Asked another server: "let me check"...she's gone too. Had to catch my flight and paid for a meal that never came. This place sucks and will not be coming back.
