I work as a cook at a family restaurant. On Saturdays when we are really busy I start work at 10 a.m. and often do not get to rest until the lunch rush is over at 3 p.m. Is this legal?

Yes. Your employer should give you rest periods at work. For every five hours that you work at a time, you should get thirty minutes rest. In your example, you should have a rest at 3 p.m.
