We came for lunch. The food portions were large, the food was tasty and prepared correctly. The service was friendly and timely. It was a bit cold inside, but better than the summer heat outside.

Food is consistently good and hot. Kids like the menu, Reasonably priced. Great Margaritas. The whole family loves their wings. A big variety of tasty flavors. We make a monthly visit. Great stores in that area too.

This is a place we go to often. Good comfort food. (Does anyone like uncomfortable food?) Even with todays inflation, GDG has kept their prices at a reasonable level. Everything is very fresh and the portions are generous.

It was our second visit and we were not disappointed. For lunch on Sunday, my girlfriend Mel and I had the dozen dry-rubbed and they were delicious as usual. Our server was wonderful. We cannot wait for our third visit.

Two stars is generous and that’s only because the manager showed at some point to refund one of our cold meals.I get being short staffed, as a manager it has hit everywhere due to the pandemic.However as a manager, that is the time you should also be out on the floor running food and drinks and even taking orders.My issue wasn’t with waiting twenty minutes for drinks, or close to an hour for our food— it was when the food finally did arrive it was lukewarm at best. A burger and a Buffalo chicken sandwich both with fries. All basically cold. That’s like the number one no no coming from a server and bartender.My grandma always tips cheap because she’s old school, but this was the first and only time I didn’t jump in and add more to her barely 10% tip.Like I said, I get being short staffed I experience it regularly, that’s when the manager needs to step up more and servers need to be more transparent and still check in often and apologize for the wait and mention things are still on the way (none of which happened)

The great bar scene and great food to match, The Salmon, the Fish Fry, and the Macho nachos are all excellent.

Night supervisor had an uncaring disagreeable attitude, she left delivery dashboard on while unapologetically refusing to fulfill the incoming orders. (Google says they are open until 12 AM) but she closed the kitchen at 11 PM. Hours were not physically posted anywhere. Glory Days owners should be aware of this staff tactic if they are not already. --Press Agent

Tried the Glory Days for lunch on a busy Saturday. A good sized bar and restaurant. Food was good, as was the service. Would try again.

Awesome set up for watching the game. Plenty of food and beer to choose from. Can't beat the $6 margaritas.

Been coming here since it was Leroy Selmon's.Glory Days carried over some of the old menu (chicken & waffles, pulled pork nachos, meatloaf), keeping the theme of Southern-based comfort food/sports bar fare (with a full bar).It's not a huge menu but we like the spacious outdoor area (for covid reasons) and go late in order to avoid crowds (they're open til midnite on weekends).If you enjoy sitting in front of a TV (or many) and watching sports - this is a great spot. Hubby loves it during football season!The aforementioned nacho appetizer is enormous and they're generous with the pulled pork atop it.Buffalo cheese dip is a zingy appe; Wannabe shrimp is its version of Bang-Bang (tho less spicy).If, like me, you want lighter fare (than the gratuitous calorie-laden choices), the pan-seared redfish is amazing (huge portion, too!); and the steak frites is decent (tho 'frites' aka fries aren't a great diet option, but can be subbed out for something else).
