This Glory Days in Winter Haven Florida is a typical sports bar with neighborhood bar energy. We sat at the bar, but there is a whole dining area with plenty of booths, tables and high tops. Just to get this out of the way, the restrooms were clean and individual which was awesome. As awesome in fact as the service. As I said earlier, we sat at the bar and Erica was our server. She took customer service to the next level. She was super pleasant, engaging and most importantly helpful. She gave recommendations for drinks and food. And it didn't feel fake like at some places. Erica was so very genuinely awesome! We ordered 10 wings, half buffalo mild and half honey old bay. They sounded good in theory, but the first batch was a tad under cooked for me. The honey old bay was meh, but the buffalo mild was decent. Luckily we were able to send them back and the second batch was way better. If you are going to order wings here, ask for them extra cooked or extra crispy. While we were waiting we were given some fries by Erica. And, the 2nd set of wings was fantastic! They have a QR code to pay your bill, but I couldn't get it to work so I had to pay the server. All and all a pretty good experience even with the huccups. read more

This was our second visit to this location, and it definitely won't be our last! We love the location--there's plenty of parking, it's in the same plaza as Publix, and it's also located across the street from Legoland. We were seated immediately upon arrival, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Both times we've visited, it hasn't been overly busy, which made for a relaxing dining experience. Personally I find that shocking as I would think it would be a tourist trap but it's mostly locals. We started with Homerun Margaritas, and they were delicious! They tasted a little on the light side at first, but our server happily added an extra shot, which was a nice bonus! For food, we ordered the mozzarella sticks, cheeseburger sliders, the Merica Burger, and chicken wings. Everything was cooked fresh, came out hot, and tasted fantastic. We really enjoyed every bite. Overall, another great experience with friendly service, delicious food, and a comfortable atmosphere. We look forward to coming back again! read more

I don't like leaving bad reviews but this is probably the worst service I've had in my life. Mid day. One lady at the end of the bar on her laptop. So we sit at the bar for a few cocktails. Female bartender never once looked at us or stopped talking to the lady on the computer. It's absolutely dead. We use the bathroom and wait forever. STILL NOTHING. Finally she comes over and we ordered drinks. I wanted dessert but she doesn't even ask if we're eating. So a LENGTHY WHILE LATER I finally get dessert. A sticky dessert. And we never received napkins. Never saw the bartender again to even get napkins, I waited for the bartender to look over but she never stopped talking to the one solo woman. At all. When she finally came over I had already finished and cleaned my hands myself. Forget about getting a second drink. As someone who works in hospitality, I'm more patient than the typical customer. This was the absolute worst service ever. Never again. read more

Service was very good even with the place being extremely packed. Pre thanksgiving snack and we ordered the following: Mozzarella sticks: 8/10 good breading Can-tastic nachos: 7/10 appealing presentation but not necessary. Half the amount of chips would be amazing to match the topping amount. read more

I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back. We were on a trip to Legoland and this place is right next to it. We do have Glory Days where I live, but I generally don't go to chain restaurants. However the street leading up to Legoland is all chains so we decided on this one. Future Christina, this is exactly what your boys will eat. One had a kids chicken tenders and fries, the other b a hotdog with applesauce. I was impressed how much they both ate. Brandon got a burger with Caesar salad. The burger was ok imo, but he liked both. I always eat the boys leftovers so I got a lemon drop martini and a cucumber strawberry martini. Both were delicious and they are cheap. That's the theme of this place, everything was pretty cheap! There are tvs everywhere. Not only did they have the game on but Nickelodeon jr for the kids too. Also I don't know who controls the music but it played Kpop demon hunters which I absolutely loved. Service was quick and friendly. She kept our drinks (both alcoholic and non alcoholic) refilled quite nicely. I will definitely come back. read more

We come here often but today has to be the worst experience that we've ever had here. I ordered a Hero Burger with seasoned fries and got a decent burger but with plain fries. My wife ordered a chicken cheesesteak sandwich with plain fries. She didn't get her fries until she was done with her sandwich. Our waiter was new, he kept apologizing, which he should've never had to do today. Management needs to get the kitchen in check !!! Our drinks did get messed up but when you're covering what seemed to be an entire side alone, that can obviously happen especially to a new waiter. I rated them a maybe that I'd recommend them, because today was just the worst experience that we've ever had at Glory Days. Texas Road House opens soon and they're going to put a hurting on the level of business that Glory Days will have soon. read more

Waitress was nice and helpful, appetizer (mac n cheese bites) was really good. Both mine and my wife's main dish however was the steak and we both got medium rare. The image shown is how it came out, definitely rare and more towards blue. I appreciate them trying to fix it, came out rare still even after a re-fire. Just took it at that point to not cause any issues. Other than the temp of the steak, it wasn't bad. read more

I was in there on Sunday evening for a bite to eat. I had the dry rub chicken wings recommended by one of the staff. They were good. I also got a margarita, which was really good. See photo. I played my favorite songs on the jukebox too ! The spicy shrimp is one of my favorites on the menu. They have a lot of huge TVs with different sports stations. It's more of a family restaurant with a separate sports bar. Full bar. Fun atmosphere! The bartender was very nice as well as all of the staff . Dress is casual . read more

If you are traveling and think this place is close to Lego Land, that this the best thing about it. Their Glory Days have past. They give you a decent amount of food. However, it is just not good. Looks are deceiving. It is a great concept, but they fail to deliver. We tried several flavors of their wings, and none of them had a good taste. The Big Fabulous Fish Fry had a decent flavor, but it was just drenched in grease. read more

Food was ok this time was not the best food we have had here but it was ok server was nice but kept messing up our order forgot one thing brought us something else we didn't even order can back 20 min later asked if we got our app. Dude was super nice but he was very confused. We will be back but with Texas Roadhouse opening next door better step up the service just a little bit. read more

I got to sit outside which was great because the weather was perfect outdoor weather. I loved that all the TVs had something for the adults and kids. The strawberry crush mojito was good that I got 2 of them. I also ordered Mr. Richard's meatloaf which is a fan favorite and it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious and the severs were so nice and courteous. If I ever come back to Winter Haven, I'll definitely visit Glory Days again read more

3rd time is a charm , don't get me wrong, is a ok place , I notice they updated their menu to new items and took some out ( maybe because they couldn't make it right ) but food is ok, not great , and staff really needs a wake up call , lady at front look like she was drag to come to work , not at all attentive and food still takes a while to come out , definitely they need faster staff and more friendly because you loose clients ( we had a couple walk out just for front staff not receiving them with courtesy) lots of improvements need it read more

Great spot for a lay back dinner. Think sport bar steakhouse. Huge location with indoor and outdoor wall to wall covered with tvs showing all the games and even cartoons. Service was fast and friendly. Everything we had was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. For starters I had a French onion soup and we shared an order of pretzels bites with beer cheese. For dinner we had the t bone with loaded baked potatoes and the ribeye with mash. We also ordered the tender w fries which was great as well. Overall this being located across Legoland and next to the hotels was the perfect dinner options for us during our stay and I would recommend. read more

I recently stopped by Glory Days Grill in Winter Haven, Florida with a business associate for lunch! I just wanted to take the time out to say how incredible the food and service was! Our server Alex was friendly, attentive and did an amazing job! I ordered the Glory Days Signature Chicken Cheesesteak with a side salad and my associate ordered the Mr Richard's Meatloaf with the Glory Days signature sauce and mashed potatoes, under the Fan Favorite section -and- both meals were delicious! If you are ever in Winter Haven or I understand they have several other locations on the west coast and throughout Florida, I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy a great meal and service at a Glory Days Grill! read more

Went there for the first time after seeing an advertisement on Facebook for Thanksgiving dinner. At a price of $17 I thought that was reasonable. The picture shows a decent amount of food for the money if you can stand what is on the plate, No Substituting! You don't like the green beans too bad that's what they brought you. The cranberry sauce was so spicy we couldn't eat it. My wife asked for some extra graveyard and waitress returned with a spoonful of it in a small cup. Green beans were crispy like they were cooked on a flattop grill. All in all it was edible. Don't know if I would go back or not. read more

Food is good and service is superb! We especially enjoy the Fish fry on Friday night.

Great food, friendly service. Reasonable prices. Definitely recommend over LEGOLAND park & hotels overpriced food

Lots of screens to look at. Sports bar vibes. Didnt have to wait long for dinner. Waitress checked on us and was nice. Nachos were not too good so i don't recommend them. Ranch wrap was good and ribs were good. Pretzel sticks appetizer was good. The home made chips are tasty. A side was missing from our order so we had to correct that. Overall it was ok. read more

All I can say is I'm glad I took the risk with trying this place. At that time, the yelp rating wasn't the best. However, there were 6 of us staying at the Hilton behind there and after a long day of driving, I didn't want to go far. We were able to just walk over. Summer took great care of us and was amazing with my three kids. Everything was timely and fresh. I had the GDG'S Crave A' Bowl and all I can say is wow! Fresh, hot, and very tasty. The grilled chicken paired great with it, though salmon is an option, too. I did end up getting mad, though, when I ran out of room. It was soooo good! But leftover options are limited when you're staying at a hotel. My husband had the Glory Burger and inhaled that thing so I'm going to assume he enjoyed it! My sister had the Monte Cristo and while it wasn't bad, it didn't quite do it for her. And my kids were happy enough with chicken and fries (they were super offended that broccoli was listed as the default side but be assured, you can pick something else). And the Shark Attack drinks were a hit, too. The over atmosphere was casual, family-friendly sports bar. With Legoland right across the street, I can confidently say that families and their tired kids will get well taken care of! Wish they were closer since we're from SC but since we were in town two nights, we ended up going there again the next night. I'll post that review, too. read more

Most of the time Glory Days has been good but we had to leave before our drinks could even get to the table. We got our menus and sat on the outside patio. A few minutes later a lady sat next to us... no menu. May have been a worker or just someone that just sat down and started smoking next to us. We asked them to please smoke away from us as we are allergic and also had our dog with us on the patio. She replied "I'm over here already". With us being allergic to cigarette smoke or if you are taking your dogs with you, this location is not a good option. There are much better options within minutes that do a better job. read more

We went as a large group twice and the food and service have always been great. We had a great time on each visit.

If you're a local, do not sleep on this spot. If you're passing through, do not sleep on this spot. If you're close by... I think you know where I'm going here. First off, the service was amazing. Sat down quickly and immediately shared the specials. I love a deal but not as much as I love efficient service. And the response to it being our first time there was so kind; the manager sent over an off menu sampler so we could try their big hitters. Loved them all plus everything we ordered. Let's recap the delicious line up: sliders on Kings Hawaiian rolls with a signature sauce that they should just bottle and sell, buffalo chicken dip served with frito scoops, chips with a light spice salsa that will keep you interested but not overwhelmed, soft pretzels with a perfectly warmed beer cheese, and creamy Mac and cheese bites. But my favorite, would drive the hour from home to eat it again, dish was the stinging honey garlic boneless wings. Let me drop this on its own line cause it deserves the notoriety. Stinging Honey Garlic Wings Chef kiss worthy on each and every bite. If I had a second stomach, I would still be there right now for round two of wings and their perfectly mixed Long Island. Alas, that's not the case so I bid the great food and good vibes adieu for now. But expect me back, Glory Days Grill! read more

We had a great experience here for my son's 11th birthday. We spent the day at LegoLand and then when we were ready for dinner, we were going to have to wait an hour to be seated at Skyline Lounge at the LEGOLAND hotel. We made a quick reservation at Glory Days, got there and were seated immediately. Our waitress was great and very attentive. Food was really good. Definitely recommend! read more

Went here for dinner. Was seated promptly but waiting 20 minutes for our server to come by. He said he would be right back and we waited another 10 minutes for him to take our drink order. It took 10 minutes for a soda and water. He took our order and disappeared. Once we got the order he forgot the sauces and once again it took 20 minutes for him to get back. Food was good We asked for the check and he disappeared in the back for a good 30 minutes. read more

I can't believe the low ratings for this restaurant! We went to this restaurant on Sunday night. It is right across the street From Legoland. The food and service from Samantha was so good we went back on Monday for Burgers. First the N priced are more than reasonable and great tasting. The happy hour is exceptional and the margaritas were large and tasty. The kids meals are great and affordable. Instead of fries you can get veggies even my kids loved the broccoli. This will be our new stop when we visit Legoland read more

My crew was excited to see Glory Days across from LegoLand as we recently tried this establishment in St. Petersburg. I ordered the Strawberry Chicken Salad to try something new and was sorely disappointed as it does not look like the picture on the menu. They put the salad in a bowl not plate and in the process I lost a good deal of the salad portion. The salmon was okay and the dressing a bit sweet. Another person in my party was also disappointed in her steak. She was never asked how she wanted it prepared and received it very well done and over peppered to the extent she could not eat it; I tried it myself and agree with her assessment. We also came before the lunch crowd hit and we hardly saw our server and other parties received their entrees ahead of us. We all agreed it was just a convenient location and would not come back to this location. read more

The service was horrible. We were a party of 8 for my daughter's birthday. Server put food in front of 7 of us and never realized or acknowledged that one of us had no food. When we asked she looked shocked that he had ordered a meal. Two people ordered pasta and asked for parm cheese. Twice. After the second request she said they ran out of parm. I ordered baked potato no bacon. Potato arrived with bacon. I had to ask for a fork 3 times before I got one. One person ordered a coke after dinner. Check came. 2nd request for the coke. She never came back. Lucky we could pay by phone. read more

Yum, yum, yum. First time there with our ladies group (about 30 of us). I had a Rachael which is a Reuben sandwich made with turkey- it was utterly fantastic! Side order of fries too.

Our service here was horrible. To start, we went 15 minutes without even being acknowledged. When served our appetizer we did not have silverware or plates. And when we asked for our silverware we were ignored. our food came before we had silverware, not to mention the food taking 20 minutes. I had to go and get the silverware myself. And our server, Laura, only contributed to this mediocre service. She passed by our table several times without asking if we needed refills or if we needed anything. I had to go to the bar to get my drink too. And when my wife was missing her side she clearly stated she didn't want it anymore. But when she was served it anyways our server had a condescending tone and spoke slowly, as if speaking to a child, seemingly because of our skin color. We feel ignored and racially discriminated. read more

Food was good and the service was even better. I would definitely recommend it and will return. read more

Jessica L. Is a horrible waitress. Waited over 15 minutes for her to first greet us and after she brought us drinks we told her we needed just a minute to decide on food. 20+ minutes later she never came back so we just got the check from someone else. My husband is kind and still tipped her $1.50 on a $9 check. If it were me, she wouldn't have gotten anything. Be better Jessica L. read more

I am very glad that Winter Haven finally has a Glory Days. I have always been a fan of this restaraunt ever since I lived in Tampa. They are the kings of great food/drinks and even better atmosphere. The Winter Haven store killed it! I got the chicken and waffles which was outstanding. My wife got the fish fry, which she loved as well and seemed to be a store favorite. We had some "buffalo cauliflower wings" as an appetizer to start with some very large margaritas. It was a perfect start because they are not too filling but a good sign of the great food that is to come. It's hard to find a place with great quality good, excellent service, and low prices especially these days. There seems to be a TV that covers every square inch of the restaraunt, making me extremely excited to come back for football season - especially because they have happy hour every day, all day, where you can get 6 dollar margaritas along with some very cheap beer. I highly recommend this place for any Winter Haven locals and also those of you visiting LegoLand from out of town. read more

Food is okay. I used to frequent this chain in another state. Service on the other hand is atrocious. The hostess controls all seating for the high tops in the bar areas. Twice in a row they have played reindeer games about seating us there despite the area was completely empty. When we finally sat down, the assistant GM started a debate with one of our party which required the proprietor/partner to interdict. Not only did he not apologize, but he proceeded to tell us they were corporate and not customer-oriented. I told him this is a small southern town and those kind of values will not endear his restaurant to the locals. He said no problem, he is here for the Legoland visitors. read more
