Glory Days is a relatively new Sports Bar that is in the location that was previously occupied by Leroy Selmon's restaurant. I didn't know anything about it until arriving. Parking was not problem at 3:15 PM on a Saturday afternoon, and two young ladies held the doors open for my daughter and I to enter. Once inside the sports bar motif was evident. There were over two dozen large screen televisions on the walls, playing the Lightning Stanley Cup playoff game (they lost).
The host quickly seated us, after asking out preference for bar area, booth, high top table, or low top table. Our impression was that the facility was well laid out, with high quality tables and chairs for a sports bar. Patrons appeared to be a cross section of all ages, and the noise level was loud as might be expected for a sports bar where a local team was playing live.
Once seated we were quickly approached and given setups, menus, and asked for our drink orders. We were to learn shortly that this was done by a server that was helping out the one assigned to our table because he was busy at the moment. I pointed out to the server that there was a fairly large grease spot on the table cloth that had not been properly cleaned, and he quickly remedied this.
Our drink orders were delivered within a few minutes, one coke, and two waters. Oddly drinks had straws in them with the paper wrapping properly removed leaving just a few inches at the top, but while the coke and one water had a straw, the second water did not have one. Our substitute server left at the point, and the rest of the review refers to our real assigned server, Brayan.
Brayan appeared in a few minutes and asked if we were ready to order, but we asked for a few minutes more. Returning in about 5 minutes, we ordered: a Wannabe Shrimp appetizer, a dozen dry rubbed chicken wings, and a Nachos with chicken appetizer that my daughter intended for her main course.
It didn't take long for the Wannabe Shrimp to appear. This was a generous order, a little spicy, but perfectly prepared. The dry rubbed chicken wings and Nachos were brought to the table, after the shrimp was consumed. The chicken wings were excellent, large, perfectly seasoned and cooked. I had ordered 12 wings, but could only finish half the order. The Nachos filled a large plate, and easily took the place of a main dish. I stole a few of my daughter's Nachos to taste, and the chips were crisp and freshly cooked, while the cheese, chicken, and rest of the concoction made for a pleasant eating experience. The only fault was that although the Nachos were ordered to hold the jalapenos, a few slivers of jalapenos snuck their way into the dish.
During the meal Brayan check on us regularly, bringing me a new coke without being asked whenever mine was getting low. One of the signs of an excellent server.
For desert I ordered the Chocolate Slide, and a cup of coffee. My daughter ordered the Banana Bread Pudding. Each came with a scoop of high quality vanilla ice cream on the plate. The Chocolate Slide is a piece of chocolate cake with chocolate filling, chocolate icing, and chocolate chips embedded in the icing. i.e. if you are overwhelmed by too much chocolate, this one is probably not for you, though I had no such problem consuming the entire thing.
When Brayan next stopped to check on us, I pointed out that he had never brought me the coffee. He was very apologetic, saying that he had brewed a new pot, and forgot about it. After confirming that I still wanted the coffee he brought it quickly over and volunteered that I would not be charged for it.
If this was a 5 star restaurant I would ding them for the few missteps, but this is a sports bar. The service was excellent, the food was excellent, and the true rating should be about 4.5 stars. I will return to try some of the other dishes, hopefully when there are no playoff games going on. read more
