    Shrimp and grits
    Jennifer S.

    Service was solid and the food was delicious. We started with the smoked salmon spread which was heavenly. I had the Turkey Avocado BLT. My dining companions had the hot chicken sandwich and the shrimp and grits. We loved it all. The only complaint I would have is the fries were not as crispy as I would like. But honestly that's minor. The decor is nice, the vibe is strong and the staff is so welcoming.

    We came here for brunch on a Saturday. The food is a bit pricey but yummy overall. Service was good. Ambiance is a semi nice cafe. - Sweet potato fries (4.5/5): these are so yummy. Super crispy, flavorful, so good with ranch. - Garden omelette(4/5): veggie omelette, pretty good size, good flavor. - Jambalaya (3.5/5): a bit small portion size. Cooked and seasoned well, pretty basic

    Breakfast Burger

    Staying at the Tiger hotel and saw the great reviews for Glenn's Cafe next door and decided to check them out. WOW! Such a neat place, beautiful inside, and clean. The service was great, and attentive. We ordered the Chicken and Waffles and Breakfast Burger. The chicken was AMAZING, super moist, crispy, juicy, then you combine it with the maple bacon syrup. Wow. I was in heaven. The burger was also so delicious and they even make their own ketchup; which was great. We certainly will come back here when in town again!

    Chefs burger with barbecue sauce, garlic aioli, harissa, ketchup on the side for condiments

    The food is pretty good and the servers are very nice and will fix any issues you may have, with no complaints! I really love this restaurant because of the beautiful scenery and great ambiance. During my visit I ordered the Chefs burger and fries . Chefs burger- 7/10. The marbling in that patty is really good and it's prominent in its juicy and tenderness. Although the meat alone is good it lacked seasoning. The flavor from the burger mainly came from their house bun that tastes like a croissant! Outside of that it came with cheese, pickles and garlic aioli, which was slightly disappointing. When ordering a burger I assumed it would also come with lettuce and tomatoes, but I guessed wrong. If you need something light on the stomach and aren't looking for a BURGER order this. Fries 6/10- The fries also lacked flavor but the harissa sauce makes up for it. I also am not a fan of limp fries and prefer a crunch but we can't always get what we want. Overall it's a nice restaurant and a great spot to come and relax.

    Oysters

    Our server was wonderful and my daughter has found a fabulous spot to grab oysters when she is a way at college. The shortrib was absolutely incredible!

    Biscuit & Gravy
    Richard S.

    Unfortunately and at least on this day, (3) stars is a gift rating. I gave (3) stars, for the biscuit and gravy. The best thing: biscuit and gravy. The biscuit was pretty darn good. The gravy was good...nice texture...good sausage. But was lacking a better salt and pepper level. The worst thing: The shrimp and grits. Absolutely bland/flavorless grits. The vegetables...all major mush...had an ok taste...but not great..and with grits...lousy. The shrimp....seem some frozen; lesser grade shrimp. For $27 for the entree, I would've expected something so much better. Another generally poor dish: The jambalaya. Look at the pic....even mixing around...it was such major soupy stuff. Price: $28....same lousy shrimp. Chicken all dry chewy stuff. And there wasn't squat for any quantity. That bowl is more shallow than you realize. I'm always a sucker for the old-time places...and I always (want) them to be (great). This one...majorly missed the mark.

    Exterior and outdoor seating

    I want lie but we came to Glenn's only for the Southern Sweet dessert and it did not disappoint. If I had to say what's my favorite dessert then I'd say just about anything with booze. We ordered Glenn's famous bread pudding with house-made whiskey sauce, and cinnamon spiced ice cream with an additional scoop of cinnamon spiced ice cream. All this yummy goodness was served in a hot casket iron skillet allowing the ice cream to slowly melt on top of the whiskey sauce and hot bread pudding. It was a perfect ending to our road-trip back to KC with our dogs with a complimentary flute of champagne for each of us. FYI Glenn's outdoor patio is dog-friendly and good for a romantic nights out. Apparently, our serve mentioned people have a tendency to stop by on a date or others just to get their Southern Sweet desserts.

    This cafe waited LONG time just to be seated. Today we waited 90mins, then another 1hr to get our food. Service is slow, and food is just so-so. Hope they will have better efficient way of reservation systems.

    Glens cafe is a very well put together establishment. The service was excellent and the atmosphere here is incredible. From the decore to the service and attitude from the servers. My food was delicious, now however I did order the turkey bacon Avacado BLT and now this is more of a personal preference but I'd want more avocado on my sandwich. But that's a me thing I like flavor. And this food was FLAVORFUL. 8/10 experience!!

    Don't go if it's a busy weekend . This restaurant seems incapable of delivering hot food that tastes good when they are at capacity.

The selection, the service, the suggestions get better each time. There are two places in town I always recommend to friends and newcomers, and top ten is always on that list. Paul Vernon is a genuine person and business owner, always making sure to take care of his patrons. One thing I really appreciate is that his staff also reflects his values. Kind, considerate and knowledgeable. They know you by name. There's no other establishment like it. I'm looking forward to the next 18 years of visiting my favorite place.

    Me and a friend sat outside this restaurant (both of us are black) and we were told to move within…read morea few seconds and we did. We moved to another set of chairs that we didn't think was apart of the same restaurant and we were told to move again. We complied both times and the second time and both times were honest mistakes and didn't think anything of it. But we definitely sensed a hostile tone and a bit of an attitude from what we assume to be the owner. We then went to Edgey Cowgirl so our other friends could finish shopping (now that that store has excellent customer service and a friendly atmosphere). When they finished we came out and saw the gentleman who told us to move again. But we also noticed two white men sitting in the same set of tables where we were told to move. They seemed to just be sitting there and talking and had not ordered anything to drink and they just sat there unbothered. We waited in our car to see if the owner would tell them to move for about 5 minutes and nothing happened. This was very odd to me that we were told to move from those tables in less than a minute but the other gentlemen could sit down and have a good ole time it seemed like. I would not suggest giving this restaurant your business.

    The new Fall menu is out!! Wow! So many delicious choices…read more Pretzel appetizer. Bean dip- unexpectedly delish Whipped cheese spread. Dreaming about it. Meatballs. Enough to feed all 4 people! Beef stroganoff. 10/10 creamy. Tender beef. Enough for later. Filet Mignon and whipped deliciousness. Perfection. The miso sea bass is my favorite yet!! Filling. Fish cooked perfectly and the right mix of Asian flavors. The menu items for this Fall is TOP TIER!

    This place is super solid - surprisingly so, we had a wonderful dinner here and excellent service…read more it started a bit rocky bc there was some misunderstanding and no one came to greet us or speak to us for about 15-20 minutes. My husband went to the host stand to say something and a server overheard and immediately came and paid wonderful attention to us after that and they gave us a free appetizer to make up for it which the manager delivered himself with another apology. All good. Handled expertly and the meal was 5 stars afterwards. We started with the Whipped Feta And Balsamic Roasted Strawberries which was different and really good and light. My husband ordered for his entree the Charred Double Cut Pork Loin for about $32 served with elote corn with bacon roasted potatoes. It was SO delicious - for real, probably the best pork loin I've ever had and the corn was fabulous. I had the Chilean Sea bass Chilean Sea Bass for $50 with tomatoes and orzo in saffron tomato broth. It was a huge portion of sea bass Coffee was good and we ordered a chocolate dessert mousse pie to go which was AMAZING. The food was all wonderful, service was superb and the view and location was gorgeous. We saw that they have rentals above in lofts which are beautiful and will absolutely consider staying here (and dining again for sure) if and when we visit in the future. Highly recommend. My husband is from St. Louis and has been to the Lake of the Ozarks probably 25x and said this was by far the best meal he's ever had here. He raved about it for a few days afterwards.
