Glory Days Grill - Herndon

UPDATE: The manager reached out to me about my autistic son’s love of their kids penne pasta with garlic cream sauce that had been removed from the menu. For the last few months, we order by phone to go and tell the staff member that the manager gave us special permission and they’ve made it for our son. We are so grateful for this kind gesture, and it allows us to continue to eat as a family together in their restaurant or to go. Thank you, Fox Mill GD! (Revising to 4 stars) —————— We order from Glory Days a lot. We enjoy their food. But I’m just floored that they just took mozzarella cheese sticks off the menu this past week…what?? They’ve been on your menu for like 20 years!! Why would you do that? AND, my son who has autism and eats like 4 things total loved the kids pasta with Parmesan garlic cream sauce. We’d get 2 orders of it once a week, without fail. Now…off the menu! No kids pasta option!? Only Mac and cheese, which oddly enough he hates. C’mon Glory Days…you’re killing me with these changes! Now our family can’t eat here if there’s nothing for our kid to eat on your menu. Do you know how rare it was for us to eat together anywhere as a family??

Sat outside with some friends to catch up. They were not only very patient with our slow ordering, they didn’t rush us out, so we could actually catch up. Food and drinks were really good and a great price. And it wasn’t even happy hour prices!

The prices are fair and the service had always been great. The food is your usual fare but it satisfiies. My kids LOVE the shark attack drink and that alone is worth coming to see.

I was just treated to the worst experience I have ever had at a bar. I first ordered a whiskey and coke, which was fine. I then ordered a daiquiri, and a few minutes later, was handed a frozen whipped drink with whipped cream frosting. I showed the bartender the wikipedia article for daiquiri , and asked if she could make it. A few minutes later, she said I could order it. Meanwhile, a man a few chairs over asked the bartender, do you even know what the problem is with women? As a woman, I naturally objected to this line of questioning, and the man told me to shut up. When I took him to task on this, I was immediately ejected from the bar, and did not receive my daiquiri. I have never been treated with this level of contempt by a bartender in my life.

Sometimes time gets away from you, and you realize it's after 9 PM, and you're starving, and don't want to cook. You also realize you don't want to eat take away food. Glory Days is reasonably priced and has assembled a diverse menu to satisfy most pallets. I had been craving chicken wings for about a week, but didn't want to only eat wings, also we were visiting on a Wednesday, and the current promo for our area is ribs on Wednesday. Sold! , Wings and ribs it is. My companion ordered the steak and cheese sub. Our food came in a reasonable amount of time, and was delicious . We had been walking for most of the day, and decided water would be the best beverage to rehydrate our weary bodies. For the most part our waitor kept up with everything. Unfortunately that didn't last, and towards the end of the meal, our water glasses emptied. We requested more water, three times. I gave up. I needed the wet stuff. So I went to the bar, and noticing the beverage station on the end, I served myself. I was calm about the process, and returned to the table successfully, without incident. That's when my companion flagged down our waitor again. When you have to flag down your waitor, multiple times, and the restaurant isn't that busy, hearing excuses isn't going to make the situation better. If our waitor felt overwhelmed, he should have been trained to ask for assistance from other wait-staff or the manager. Other than the water issue, our visit was delightful.
