A sports bar with good food and reasonable prices has its place and Glory Days definitely fits. There's a regular crowd here for this reason. We usually sit at the bar and food and service is consistently good. They no longer have daily specials but the Trifecta options that include a soup/salad and soft drink are a great value. My companion had the burger with a side Caesar that he shared with me. It was a good start, a basic Caesar with chopped lettuce and Parmesan and croutons. He had a few issues with the burger with the meat sitting on top of the lettuce, pickles and onion rather than the reverse but he dealt with it. And we both enjoyed the seasoned fries. I followed up with the dry rub bone-in wings. They were meaty and served up hot and fresh. The wings are a favorite and always good. The salt and pepper grinders are a noticeable and welcome detail, not common in any restaurant. The TVs always have a variety of games so there's something for everyone. There was even Scooby Doo on one of the screens for those fans. This is one of our go-to spots for the food, quality, service and reasonable prices. We frequented the location on Duke Street until it closed and are happy this location is nearby so we can continue to visit on a regular basis. read more

LOOK!!! Glory Days owes me absolutely nothing and I will be back!! My friend and I came here for national wings day and I'm so glad we did!!! The inside isn't much to write about, a typical sports bar but extremely clean. But let's get into the goods! Our waitress was this small in stature Hispanic lady. I unfortunately can't remember her name but she was so sweet and attentive! We got there right as their happy hour deal was ending and she asked the manager if we could put one order of drinks in and still receive the deal. She also brought a sample basket of the appetizers to our table since we were first timers. A restaurant that knows how to treat their customers! The basket came with their boneless, traditional wings, pretzels, and Mac and cheese bites. The pretzel bites?! Fresh and perfectly soft inside but crunchy outside. And I normally hate pretzels because they can be dry. Same story with the Mac and cheese bites. Every bite of the basket grew my excitement for our main course. Every single item was delicious!! We literally paused after the first samples in genuine happiness. For national wings day, they had a $16 endless jumbo wings deal. We added endless fries which was an extra $3. We got the traditional and dry rub wings. They have a variety of sauces. For the dry rub, the put the sauce on the side and the traditional is mixed with the sauce. The dry rub by itself, sans sauce, is stellar. I honestly could've kept eating it just as is. The traditional was also really good but there's just something about the dry rub. The sauces we tried were all really good but I wasn't a fan of the teriyaki. By the end of the night, our bellies were overly full and ready to combust but truly some of the best wings and customer service I've had. Afterwards, we had to go for a walk in the parking lot to try and walk off some of the food. I will forever give praise to this restaurant. I came in not expecting much but was genuinely blown away. And also want to shout out the lovely black woman who brought out our food and assisted our waitress. Stellar service and food all around. read more

Went here for national chicken wing day and it was quite the treat! Let's start with the service: PHENOMENAL. The server was fantastic. Very prompt and informative. Apparently when it's your first time visiting, they give you something special (IYKYK). The environment was spacious and a great place to catch up with a group of friends, watch a sports game or have a chill night out with the spouse. All the food was delicious. Had the appetizer sampler and everything included was tasty. The wings were of course the highlight. Tried the traditional, grilled and dry rub. ALL were great. The grilled was the fave, did not need a lick of sauce. Tender and flavorful. Will be returning for sure! read more

I hosted a volunteer appreciation lunch at Glory Days Barcroft today. We had it catered in the banquet room in the back. The volunteers loved the salmon and penne pasta! They also enjoyed the house or Ceasar salad. The chocolate chip cookies were delicious! The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. We used the large TV screen for a presentation honoring the volunteers. It was a huge success. Everyone was happy and full from their lunch. I was so pleased with how it turned out. Thank you Glory Days Barcroft! read more

1st of all, our server, Johanna, is always wonderful. I would request her if you'd like 5 service. The luncheons our group had included a salmon plate and hamburger/fries. I have had their burgers which are usually good. However, I ordered a cup of "Fenway Park's Chowda." Yes, that's how it's spelled on the menu. If you like tasteless canned potato soup, it's for you. There wasn't one clam in the cup. It wasn't even worth the $5.99 charge. "GDG" advertises that it is a sports bar. So, as expected, it has a nice selection of specialty beers. On that same note the menu is much too extensive. The GDG chain could benefit from offering less food choices while increasing the food item quality. & Incidentally, there is an excellent diner in Annandale a few miles away. Its food is much tastier. We'll probably dine there from now on rather than patronize a restaurant that serves mediocre food. I've written other honest reviews that management expresses appreciation for. Just saying "thank you" for a review doesn't change the quality of a restaurant's service and/or food. read more

I've been coming to the Glory Days Grill at Barcroft Plaza for over three years, usually with a group of 5 to 10 people to watch Premier League soccer. The restaurant is clean, the food and drinks are good, and the waitstaff is always friendly and attentive. However, my experience with the manager, Bill, has been consistently negative. He displays an unwelcoming attitude and treats foreign customers poorly. For instance, even when the restaurant isn't busy, he refuses to accommodate simple requests--like turning on a TV for an 11:00 AM match because he arbitrarily reserves the screens for games starting at 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM. read more

This Glory Days is pretty good. The food is good, service is nice, friendly and efficient. I really enjoy the ribs, sliders, Cobb salad and pasta dishes. It has a nice vibe and a good layout. Plenty of TVs to watch all the sports you could want to see. They have a nice room for groups. read more

I love Glory burger and Crab Dip. It's a great burger and dip for the price and the restaurant's food quality is consistent. Waitresses were very nice and kind. They have a big TV and it's ready for big games. But not too loud for conversations, either. Will recommend this restaurant to friends and family. read more

In the short time that the manager Beverly has been at the Falls Church location, she has been awesome. The regulars, like me will miss her when she transfers soon. Thanks Bev!! read more

Grabbed a drink here since we were waiting on another reservation from a restaurant in the same plaza. Quite a nice all day happy hour. The margarita is no joke large, it's like two or three in one giant glass. Definitely get your moneys worth here. Their food menu also looked really good so I'll have to come back and try it out in addition to hitting up their happy hour again. read more

Thank you for the great addition of the patio tables! It was a great night to unwind outside of the hustle and bustle of football season. We truly enjoyed meeting David, he brought the fun bartender experience outside. He was funny and personable, we might skip the bar and sit in his section when we visit going forward! read more

Great Service and friendly staff! I have been going here for the last few years and finally took the time to write the review for this location. I also order from Burke location on Old Keen Mill, where they have horrible staff and services as compared to here! read more

Went to watch a football game with friends, We got seated right away. The Appetizers came out quick, we got the Knockout Shrimp, Fried Pickles & Mac n' Cheese Bites. All appetizers were delicious. For entrees, we got the Chicken Garlic Penne Pasta, T bone steak and Cheesburger sliders. The Chicken Penne Pasta was not good, The Chicken was overly seasoned. The T-Bone steak was asked to be Medium, and it was Burnt and over cooked. The Cheesburger Sliders were Okay. Overall, although the service was good, the food quality was not. I do like how it's a good restaurant to watch sports but if i'd come again to watch a game , i'd stick to appetizers and drinks ! read more

From the greeting by the hostesses to the terrific service and delicious wings and burgers, everything was top notch. Will definitely return to this clean, friendly establishment. Bill, the manager, checked in a couple times to make sure things were going well. read more

Jorge and his team provided great service. Clean establishment and friendly staff. Will definitely come back.

We come here a few times a year and sometimes service is lacking. However, last night and other times JT has taken amazing care of us. I always get something different to eat each time, and last night I tried the new monte cristo. It was deep fried, but not with the light batter that it typically comes with, so the crusts were a little hard. However, the inside was amazing. Hope the photo helps you decide! read more

We came here for dinner after taking our toddler to the Mason district park. It wasn't that crowded on a Saturday night, also lots of parking. The menu is big, we got a chicken tender and fries for our toddler, a salmon blt salad for myself and steak and frites for my husband. Service was fast and great. My toddler threw food everywhere, the restaurant greeter was kind enough to clean up after. It's a sports bar, the tv screens were abundant, which kept my toddler entertained. Food was great overall, I like my salad, the steak was a little overcooked per my husband. Chicken tender and fries came out fresh. This was a nice surprise, will definitely be back! read more

Food was amazing! Great experience with friends, staff was fast and the manager Rebecca was great! 10/10

UPDATE: changing my review to 5 stars. The manager Bill was very prompt to responding to my initial review. Decided to give it another shot & went in with the fam. (By surprise so it wouldn't be any different). Our waitress Ruth was very kind & her service was 10/10. The food was delicious. Glory Wings were good as always. Tried their fried shrimp tonight & it was perfect! This Glory Days was my absolute favorite location in the entire dmv. I come here quite often with my family. We've done bday parties, family gatherings, take out, dine in we loved the food & the customer service. However, I do feel that the past few months the food quality and service has gone down. Tonight was honestly the cherry on top.. it wasn't busy at all as usually it's busy, yet the service was very slow. Our waitress took a long time to come & get our payment. Then the power went out... which had their system reset.. we waited 15-20mins just standing up doing nothing as we waited for our cards back. The glory wings were good per usual, my glory burger lacked sauce & flavor. the kids menu definitely needs tastier food options. their butter pasta was really dry & didn't even have the taste of butter. Ended up splitting my burger with my daughter because she didn't like her pasta & the waitress never came to check back on our table. I'm very disappointed read more

Went there on a humble last night because my tv app does not get the Wizards games. Not busy about 7 or 8 at the bar. I didn't drink because I'm on the wagon. Had a diet coke and ordered a salad with balsamic vinaigrette and Caesar dressing on the side. All in all it was good at it all. Sydney the bartender is a sharp young lady. In a more high paced environment she would make a lot of money . Very aware stayed on point. If you're in the area check this place out. read more

What a joke. Ordered hot wings to go at the bar. Got 10 wings with ranch that is the only part that matched the order. Asked for Hot vs mild wings. Got Wings with no sauce and some Jalapenos thrown in, I guess for the "hot" affect. Not worth the money. Beer was good but you can't really screw that up. Sadly I gave over 20% tip. The service was worth it but the food not so much. read more

First timer, party of 7 and one of us in wheelchair. The whole thing was a mess, the server lied to us that he can't do separate check. 3 of us in one check so only 4 separate checks. He said if we do separate check the food will come different time.one of the guess order appetizer as a meal and mention that. Still her's came out first. Of course she doesn't want to eat and wait for the rest of us. My second friend ordered salad to eat first guess what, her salad and her steak came at the same time. She had to sent back her T-bone steak because it chewy un edible. Look like the steak had been microwave. Even though we ordered together the food came separately. The server not pay attention and not even make an effort. Asking for honey mustard he never came back. Asking for blue cheese dressing instead of ranch for wings still got it wrong. I served in restaurant before and I knew the roots so not try to tell a lie to a customer . Your POS system can do the separate easily. I am not even bother to take a picture.The restaurant is not busy and I saw 4 tables and 1 top at the bar. We still leave a good tips despite the bad service we got. read more

Up until about 3 weeks ago, I had never heard of a place called Glory Days Grill. Virginia has always been a second home to me and despite coming home on an annual basis, I had never eaten at Glory Days. However, that was all about to change during Spring Break! Glory Days Grill is a small chain of restaurants found along the east coast and in the south. When I think of Glory Days, I instantly reflect upon the patriotic nature of the country. With a strong support of the military and first responders, this restaurant is a place that will make you feel at home. The interior in the two locations was pretty similar. The main dining room has booths along the outer portion of the restaurant and stand alone tables in the center of the room. Also, there's one big private dining room that is reserved for parties. Americana decor is displayed throughout the entire restaurant. The music that you hear as you dine is all American: country, rock, and soul. The menu consists of all American dishes such as burgers, steaks, chicken, fries, and so on. They had some pizza specials with different toppings, if you want to consume something that's a little more different from a standard pizza. I tend to order the same thing wherever I go: fish, shrimp, or vegetarian food. I made sure that my shrimp was seasoned with old bay! The jasmine rice was ok and included some green onions mixed within. I like to keep it simple! All in all, this place was pretty good! It's ideal for a quick meal on the go or if you want to enjoy a meal while watching sports or cartoons on many of the TVs that are mounted on each wall. The atmosphere is great as well. If you want to hang out at the bar and enjoy a couple of drinks, this is also the place for you. It's just a great restaurant to bring your family out to enjoy a meal while avoiding larger crowds in the big city. read more

This morning/afternoon, the person at the front who greeted me was absolutely lovely--friendly, quick to get me seated, and made me smile with a short and funny conversation. Shortly after, I was greeted by a wonderful server who was kind and attentive, and my food came out quickly. Overall, I felt very relaxed and had a great time. Both the food and service were excellent! Definitely recommend. read more

Disappointed they no longer have their seasonal menus. Corned beef and cabbage they had in March was exceptional, as was the Oktoberfest in October. read more

We get wings to-go often & can't believe I haven't reviewed them yet. We enjoy the variety in the sauce selection & everyone ends up happy. You can dine in, get carry out (curbside pick up is an option) or delivery. I did dine in once when family was in visiting us from Europe but it was middle of the day in summer & super slow. The ribs are okay but the wings are where it's at. We typically get sides of slaw & fries to go with it. If you eat fire like I do, don't expect to sweat with these puppies, just enjoy the wings. The staff is always above & beyond in providing excellent customer service & the place is always clean. They support local sports both school & pro level & that's a really nice plus. read more

I visited Glory Days in Falls Church on 4/13/25 and was really disappointed with the experience. The service was slow and the drinks were poorly made, and watered down, I expected better, especially considering I've been here several times. Spoke with a manager about our drinks and he made excuses and then said YOU PEOPLE, when I asked him what he meant he changed up and said all people. I won't be returning unless there are clear improvements. read more

I got a Philly Cheesesteak to go and was surprised and disappointed to realize it was served on a hot dog bun. I thought this was a staff error until checking the website and seeing that's just how they're made so I have no complaints with this particular location (I assume this is a franchise). I know meat prices have been going up but I think the parent company should re-examine their recipe. For $14, I would expect a full size Philly Cheese Steak. Quality wasn't bad and it's not a franchisor/location issue so I'll probably go back and try something else at some point. This was my first visit. read more

To go staff apparently never got my order. Put it in at 538pm and got a confirmation email saying it would be done at 608. We get there at 615. The gentleman says he doesn't have my order and continues to fumble through his receipts and asks me for my name at least 5x. During this time he brings out two other orders for people waiting. I stand and wait and show him my email. He says he will just put it in again since I clearly already paid and had an order. He is about to send it in and says to let him check in the back first, which I thought he had done to begin with... Well, the back had it. I quickly glanced at all of it in the car. Come home and realize we are missing a side of fries. Not a huge deal but we did pay for them so sort of irritated this all happened. Definitely inconvenient to have to wait 20 minutes for my order when it was done and then realize we are missing things when we get home. I should have double checked before leaving but I'm sure if I did and went back to tell them it was missing, I would probably be waiting another 20 minutes just for fries. Hoping they hire more people and improve so their staff isn't too overwhelmed and other customers aren't missing food. read more

Just ordered 15 extra crispy chicken wings. What arrived was clearly not cooked to order. Waitress graciously returned. Second attempt looked JUST like the first although they said they were remade from scratch. Still rubbery under cooked skins. The manager tried to make it right by bringing a third plate but we were done done by then. Three stars awarded for the manager's good efforts. read more

We came in on a Tuesday afternoon looking to eat an early dinner. The dine in section had maybe 10 guests total. We sat there for 15 minutes unattended. No one came to even get our drink orders. We made eye contact with a couple waitresses but no one ever came and I don't like flagging down the servers. We got up and just left. I normally come here because it's convenient and close but we settled on just grabbing Peruvian chicken from the same shopping center instead. Probably won't be back for awhile bit. read more

Restaurant advertised a Friday Fish Fry for $11.99. When I tried to order it online, it defaulted to the standard price. I had to call in to get the special price. Other than that, it was delicious and the service was good. Would definitely recommend if you like fried fish. read more

One of the best dessert I ever have, great place to dine, just make sure Carolina is your server. She is the best and the fastest.

Went there last Friday with friends. Waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Waited over an hour before we got up and left. Service was not good. Waited over half an hour before we got drinks (after asking someone for service). Several groups came in after us and were served drinks, appetizers and some entrees while we waited to be served. We were offered free appetizers, but they took so long, we just got up and left. Went down to Basta Pasta and were immediately seated (even though we had no reservation on a busy Friday night). We were promptly served within 20 minutes of being seated. Glory Days food is good, but the service will have me ordering and picking it up (if I go there at all). read more

Went there this Tuesday in the late afternoon (3-4pm) where there were only 3 parties and 3 servers. My husband and I ordered a sandwich fries and a burger and fries. My fries were not even luke warm temperature. They were room temp, no one bothered to sit them under a heat lamp, or warm them up before being delivered on my plate. Did anyone come to ask how our food was? No. Did anyone come to ask us for refills even once during our meal? No. Went to find the server who was in the back, asked for refills and she got a little attitude with me. Did I get my refill? 10 mins AFTER I finished my last bite of food. Did she get a tip? I think we know the answer. Worse service. Watched two other servers across the restaurant basically stare off into space. read more

Getting seated was not a problem. Service was so slow and food was not that great. We have been to another Glory Days location and had a much better experience. We waited for a long time before having anyone come to our table. We had the fish fry and cheesesteak. It was ok, like others, I might come back to another Glory Days location to watch TV and have drinks but not food. In the bright side, they allowed us to change the tv channel to watch what we wanted. I would not come back here again. Would go to McDonalds instead. read more
