While passing through the area with a friend, we decided to stop by Glory Days and give it a try. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger topped with a fried egg and crispy onions, along with fries, and it was really good. My friend got the chicken wings and thoroughly enjoyed them as well. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made for a great dining experience. There are TVs all over the restaurant, making it the perfect place to catch a game and enjoy a meal with friends. If you're a sports fan looking for a casual spot with good food and great service, I definitely recommend checking this place out. I'd be happy to stop by again if I'm ever back in the area. read more

Poor service - the host ignored people in favor of packing takeaway boxes. Then the server had the charisma of Severus Snape on a bad day. The food quality is mediocre to awful. The portion sizes are OK, especially their special margarita, but I see no reason to come back. read more

We are fairly new residents to Reston Town so have been trying different restaurants in the area. Glory Days was recommended to us and they were fantastic! From the time we walked in, our server Tina was warm and welcoming and took great care of us during our dinner. The food was delicious, the BBQ ribs were perfectly made and the fish fry was tasty! We also appreciated the chat with GM Edgar who took the time to see how we enjoyed our dinner, which we absolutely did! We will definitely be back with our family. read more

Been coming to glory days since I was a kid.. something must've changed recently but this was by far the worst food experience I've had there. Wings were barely sauced, practically naked. Cheese fries portion was noticeably smaller. Service was solid and attentive. Will probably still try the other locations to see if it's just this one or across the board read more

It's been a while since I've been to a Glory days. I don't remember their hamburgers being so delicious! Which, surprisingly they were! I was very happy - and this is coming from a gal who normally doesn't pick burgers as their first choice, but at glory days they are definitely going to be my go to from now on when I'm here. One thing to note - on Wednesdays - they have the "triple crown special" starting at $12.99; you can pick a drink, starter, and entree from a fixed menu. Great price for classic options that will fill you up just right! read more

Wowzers!! We love this Glory Days . Have for soooo many years. Always consistent, wonderful food. And they are so perfect with my daughter's 7 different allergies. But somehow my experience tonight just got better. We had Victoria as our server. She was epic from start to finish. So refreshing to have an outgoing , happy , sweet ,knowledgeable server. She took the time to make all of us feel special. Give this girl some praise please. She's fabulous. read more

No more seafood pizza?!?!? Oh no!!! It's been awhile since I dropped in for Glory Days. This used to be my son's favorite spot for wings and seafood pizza. To our dismay we learned that all pizzas had been pulled from the menu. What a bummer... Our waiter recommended the Friday special, so we settled for the Fish Fry - wild-caught, hand-breaded haddock with two sides. I'll admit it wasn't a buttery shrimp & crab cheese pizza, but it was DELISH - and all for $11. Glory indeed. As expected, the service was great and the vibe was welcoming. read more

Glory Days Grill - Fabulous Fish Fry ($11 Friday Special) - American Near Me - Reston, Virginia

I've probably been going to Glory Days in general for 15 years...possibly more as it was our go-to to watch games and have a few beers and fatten up on bar food. The beer was always cold and the food was decent. Wings, Nachos, Burgers, etc. More recently we decided to go back to the North Point Reston location and we have been highly impressed. Not in the super fancy gourmet restaurant way but, man, you get solid, tasty food that is a step above your typical bar. My favorite sandwich is the Grilled Chicken. I know, how good can a grilled chicken sandwich be? They grill the chicken perfectly, top it with bacon and cheese and have a nice slightly sweet honey mustard dressing on top. Just a solid sandwich especially when you aren't feeling a burger. The wings are legit...Glory and Garlic Buffalo are my favorite sauces. You also can't go wrong with the burger. And oh yeah, they also have daily weekday specials. Discounted burgers on Monday, a nice economical combo deal on Wednesdays and a Friday fish special that is surprisingly tasty...fried nicely, crispy, not greasy and good seasoning on the breading. We were all quite pleased. Stop by amd check em out if you want a solid meal and cold drinks. read more

I came here on a Friday night with my high school swim team. 20+ teenagers can be a lot, so I want to thank our waitress Alessa for taking such good care of us all and being so friendly the whole night! Definitely one of the best service experiences I've ever had, so thank you so much Alessa :) read more

Took a school group of 60 students and 10 chaperones from NJ (Class trip to DC). Pre-ordered meals. Manager met us at the door and showed us to our seats . Within 10 minutes students started to receive that drinks and meals hot off the grill. The two waiters managed our group like pros. The students enjoyed their food, drinks and dessert. The service was outstanding. We were done in an hour. Big ups to the crew and manager that looked out for us. read more

Came in had Rob as my server he did a great job tour guiding the Hero Burger - service was great - great atmosphere loved the ambiance

We go there once a week, on average. I like the "Mucho Machos." But on Fridays I am compelled to do the Fish Fry- $11: Giant piece of fish, nicely breaded, w/ fries and coleslaw. Happy Hour has $4.99 generous pours of house wine- very adequate wine. Service is ALWAYS great. read more

We had a very good experience at Glory Days Reston location on Saturday April 5. The restaurant was very busy due to the NCAA playoffs but we were seated immediately. Our server Danielle, although very busy with tables did a great job and was very attentive. The food is bar food and mostly fried but you aren't coming to GDG for a fine dining experience. The fish fry was very tasty and my party enjoyed chicken tenders and a reuben sandwich. Drinks were refilled without evern a request. Great place to take kids. I was very satisfied with the experience! read more

A nice place to chill, eat some food, and watch a game. This place had good deals too and is both family and friend-meetup oriented. The vibe reminds me of a community style Yard House, and I love that it's so local, too. Areas for improvement: + Having a few more vegetarian/vegan appetizers and tacos. Although they done a decent job having the Impossible/Morning Star burgers as mains, there is room to expand and cater to a bigger vegetarian market (like how Yard House has it). + Teach/tell servers not to be pushy about ordering more food. The manager was wonderful and friendly but somehow, I didn't feel comfortable with my server; she seemed nice but rushed and pushy. Overall, the place is good. There is room for improvement, but seeing how other competitors are either further away or not as community felt, I will be returning. read more

Love this place.,, food is amazing out door seating is really good. Staff is so friendly.

I was in the mood for a Caesar Salad for lunch and decided to check out Glory Days menu. I discovered that they had a Salmon Caesar and decided to give it a try since I love salmon and it's rare restaurants have it as a Caesar option. Overall the salad was tasty. The salmon while seasoned nicely was slightly over done, however, there wasn't an option to select how you would like it cooked so I understand why it was cooked well. The Caesar dressing was yummy and since it was served on the side I was able to create the perfect bite of salmon, salad, crouton and dressing which made me happy. I'll definitely give them another shot as they had a grilled Buffalo chicken salad I was interested in and lots of bar food favorites I'll try when I pop in to pay them a visit since I literally live in walking distance of the place. Overall a good yummy lunch. read more

Ordered for the family; short rib, salmon and chicken tenders. I'm actually angry about the rib as it was not cooked properly and was mostly fat. This was the worst short rib I've ever had. Disgusting. No credible restaurant would ever serve this. There appears to be a severe lack of quality control. read more

I was just there Saturday night with my family. First thing I noticed there is no female nothings. Table sticky I had to ask for a rag I had to wipe it. All of the men and they are were very rude. Not put together, loud, saw one drinking. I was like wow. I got my kids here. Bathroom mad nasty. My mother was trying to get our server to our table 4 different times. Ignored that's to that. Until we looked done he came back. Read great reviews didn't see it. Won't come back. read more

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time at this Glory Day's! It was super busy for Superbowl, great atmosphere! Tina was on top of her game and took amazing care of us. The food was fantastic as always, wings and nachos yay! We will be back soon and will definitely ask for Tina again. read more

I usually love Glory Days and the Reston location is the closest so it's my go-to. Unfortunately I feel it is important to mention my latest experience on here. After talking this place up my friend and I ordered take out. When we got home to enjoy our meals, wenot only got subpar overly salty, inedible food but raw undercooked meat! I asked for WELL done burger and got one half raw which was not only disgusting but unsafe. It appears the cook that night was eager to cut corners since we ordered over the phone about 20 min prior to closing. The burgers for both our meals came with fries. The fries (and all the food) were so overly salty we couldnt finish it either. Hoping this was just a one-off thing because I really like Glory Days. read more

Always a lovely place to go. Great food, friendly and attentive staff, and a welcoming environment overall. A good place for families to dine. read more

They have basic good bar food with a great atmosphere to watch sports. Almost always a great crowd on the weekends for football and you can always watch your favorite college hoops team as well read more

Pros: lots of different Sunday football games. They ask you what game you want to see to help sit you in a good area for watching! Friendly host staff too! There's a sports select system at each table so you can choose the game you want to listen to - it's always nice to have sound! Cons: we were seated at a table that was not wiped down. It was clear by the water rings and napkin... the host picked up hr napkin and grabbed silverware off another table and put it down. When I asked our server to wipe it down she did, which was good. The fried foods were REALLY greasy, like beyond what you would expect for fried foods. We ordered the boneless grilled wings to try them. We ordered 12. It's approximately a 1/2 chicken breast total, skewered, with sauce poured over it. Absolutely ludicrous that they charge $13 for that. I get that there's a markup on wings, but holy crap, that's a lot. I posted a pic, look for yourself. Also, their "craft" beer list contained the following: angry orchard, blue moon, yuengling, Guinness... these are NOT "craft." To be fair, there were a couple from local breweries. This wasn't the best experience. It kind of felt like a hometown Denny's (late night food specials, lots of easy fried foods, etc). read more

I ordered carry out on a Sunday. We ordered 25 wings, cheese fries, cheesesteaks. When I went inside to pick up the food, the employee dropped the tray of wings on the floor. He then told me it was going to be a wait while they made the wings again. The extra wait caused all the other food to get cold and soggy. The manager didn't even say sorry, no offer to comp the wings or anything. I will be avoiding this location. Terrible customer service read more

Was one of my go to's. Not any more. Ordered for delivery and the food quality was so poor the only thing in my order I could eat was the mac and cheese. The ribs were raw and unedible. I understand with delivery that the quality might not be the same as you receive in the restaurant...but this was pretty bad. The clam chowder tasted like it had been the kettle since lunch and rancid. Appreciate the fact the sweet potato fries are fresh, but if they are undercooked it takes away from being freshly made. All in all super disappointed. May try again as it was one of my favorites but not any time soon. read more

- Not too different from the many other locations. Convenient and plenty of TVs for the weekly games. Their current seasonal menu (for Oktoberfest) features a Beef on Weck sandwich that really needs to become a permanent menu item. Very good, plenty of beef and the bun is fantastic. Highly recommend while it lasts read more

I have no idea what brought me here. I generally don't do sports bars unless someone else wants to give it a go, but today I was just looking for something to eat and this came up on my radar. The reviews are decent and I hadn't had cobbler in a long time so I figured why not. I was surprised to see they're carrying the impossible burger. Not only that but they have an impossible cheesesteak which I almost ordered. Initially the nachos were calling my name but I try to stay away from the vague "queso" so instead got their Morningstar veggie burger with the seasoned fries and a blueberry cobbler. The burger comes with grilled onions which is a smart move as it makes the usually dry Morningstar burger quite juicy. The lettuce, tomato, and onion are fresh. I like the fries, they're seasoned well, and although asked to have the cobbler without the ice cream I guess they wanted to cover it with something as it came smothered in whipped cream. I didn't want that either but I guess points for trying? I like the music, it's like soft rock (Eagles?) and it's not blaringly loud like some other bar restaurants. My server Shawn has checked in on me every few minutes. It's kind of a lot but hey, so much better than the alternative. It's 5:30pm and the place is packed full of people. More people keep coming in, all ages. There isn't a big game on or anything so it seems everyone is here to eat. I never would have guessed this restaurant was so popular! I guess it's a lot of fries as I'm not even close to finishing them. I'm also taking the majority of my cobbler to eat later. They do military discounts, but only if you're in uniform. I'm glad I gave this place a try and will probably return. read more

Awesome local watering hole! Superbly nice people. Thank you for all your kindness and great food and prices. read more

This place is probably the most underrated restaurant in Reston. The entire place has a friendly vibe which caters to all ages. The burgers and wings are probably the best in Reston. It is a great local place and if you are into sports this is the place for you. They even designate a couple of televisions for kids that show cartoons, etc. Great friendly staff and cold beer are a plus too. read more

The Glory Days in Herndon used to be so good. Sadly, now days the servers are untrained and you have to wait forever for your food and drink order. Our waiter said, "I forgot" when questioned how much longer on the food. We just ordered the daily special 2 tacos. I ordered a diet coke which took @10 minutes to get to our table. I was not offered a refill the ONE time the waiter stopped to ask if things were okay. Lousy service with so so food. Don't waste your time or money. I won't again! read more

Really enjoyed our food today Overall great tasting food ribs fell off the bone, the glory burger was fantastic and my steak was well seasoned , Really recommend this location Fun experience our server Oscar was very very Nice read more

Well we keep coming back because the food is always consistently good - and the kids love the TVs. Service can be spotty. Our server today at 1:45pm only had two tables, but was never to be found. We literally had to sit around and wait for 10+ minutes to get his attention and ask for the check. When it finally came, he had brought us someone else's check. Just being able to complete our meal and leave was very frustrating. This restaurant always has issues with staff and training. read more

I'm not sure what is going on with this Glory Days, but I would NOT recommend going here for lunch. I stopped in with a co-worker last week after telling her how much I love Glory Days as a chain and left pretty disappointed. We were greeted with confusion and the rest of our visit didn't get much better. There was a large party in front of us and we were not acknowledged until they were taken to their seats-even with two greeters! Then when we started heading off to a table with one person, we ended up being taken back to the host stand and being re-routed to another table after he conferred with the other hostess. Then it took a while for a server to pay us a visit, so by the time she took our drink order we pretty much knew what we wanted to eat. In the interim though, it took so long to get drinks that another server stopped by our table to make sure we were being helped. Once our soda's arrived we put in our order and waited, and waited, and waited. We were able to flag our waitress down for a soda refill but we only saw her once more to drop the check at the end, and even then, I had to flat out ask for it. The food took so long to get out to us that it was almost room temperature and my sandwich was so greasy I could barely finish half of it. We actually watched our aps come out and try to be delivered to a table behind us, only to be sent back to the kitchen and come back out 5 minutes later. So I am sure that was part of the problem. (see my pretzel pic and you can tell they had been sitting out a while) Sadly, we were so hungry at that point we didn't flag anyone down to make it right. To their credit, the bartenders that delivered our food and the other server that came to check on us were hustling, but even with their efforts, we were still there for an hour and a half for lunch. But still, and I think this is because I was not technically their table, when I asked for extra mustard and a side of mayo, I only got the mayo, and I only got that because I asked a second time when food was being dropped at a nearby table. Unfortunately, in this area, with so many other options this is just unacceptable to me. Maybe it was just a bad day, maybe the staff is new and under trained? IDK what the deal was, but I don't have that kind of time to come back to find out. Update: Almost immediately after posting this review I received a message from GD PR asking me if the manager could contact me. I obliged and provided my contact information and have heard nothing... *crickets* It's been a month. So, I'm going to guess that management is the issue here... too bad. read more
