Food was all good. Service is ok and it's decorated with local business signs (old times) read more

Great food and great service. Lemonade is fantastic! Nice and clean as well. Our new favorite local spot!

love the burger and fries will come back anther time. service was fast too. And waiter was nice

I can't say enough amazing things about Glory Days! Delicious homestyle food, fun atmosphere, 1950s music and memorabilia, and a great staff! My mom and I took a small detour to visit here on our way back to Indy from Evansville. We ordered so much food. It was all delicious. I had catfish and fries, she had pulled pork. I also got a side of delicious homemade green beans and we had fried mushrooms & zucchini as an appetizer. All of it was amazing. The strawberry cake, fresh made that day, was like nothing I'd ever had. They have a wide variety of fresh homemade desserts and I wanted to try one of everything. I highly recommend Glory Days. It's worth a detour if you are driving through the area, or if you're local, get there now! read more

Food was good and fresh and got my only complaint was that they took awhile to make. It has the feeling of and 80s or 90s restaurants. read more

Glory Days Restaurant - Interior - Diners Near Me - Clay City, Indiana

This is a neat diner with A LOT of paraphernalia (especially sports). The food is very cheap but tasty. I was excited to see that a Monte Cristo was on the menu as they are hard to find. Service though was glacially slow. It took forever to get refills and our checks at the end even though the place was almost empty. read more

Good fried in oil that was way too old, fried in too low temperature and was soaked with oil - not recommended

A old time diner with a ton of eating options. I have been twice and both times we're a good experience.

I worked at this place for 5 years. Over the years I've witnessed the owner, Monika Kirkling, abuse teenage waitresses, accuse employees of stealing, refusing to give them their checks, etc. the place looks cool at face value, but if you saw behind the scenes, you'd never eat there again. There's black mold in the coolers, standing stagnant water in the keg fridge, the drains in the sink overflow nightly because it's so clogged with gunk. There is a hole in the kitchen floor that was "fixed" with plywood and honestly could fall through at any moment. We were not allowed to mop the bar floors because they're real wood. They haven't been mopped in over 3 years when I mopped them last. The ONLY thing holding this place together is the employees who are treated like absolute garbage. Don't waste your time or money at this place. read more

This is a good friendly hometown restaurant. Employees are very friendly. Service is sometimes slow but the waitress usually does a lot on her own from refills to cash register to scooping ice cream. But in my opinion worth the wait. More time you can visit with friends and family as people in small towns usually do. The restaurant is decorated with old memorabilia. They have a large menu and every item I've tried is delicious. Their house made ranch is the best. There is ice cream several flavors and a wait selection of homemade pies. There is a family area and then down the hall there is a bar area for 21+. read more

This is really the go to location if you are looking to dine in Clay County. A beautifully maintained old diner on Main St, with jukeboxes and local memorabilia, the menu is also diner food, although not particularly old-fashioned. Everything is well done, with friendly service, with an impressive array of menu choices read more

I think the glory days are over. From the collection of dust collectors around the room and down the hall to the young waitress with an uninterested attitude. The food is typical Midwest. At 1:30 it took over a hour to get a no frills sandwich. The place wasn't really busy. The food was ok. We would rather go to a small business than a franchise. However, this place will be a one time stop. I waited a few days to post this review on purpose. A good thing about this place is there is plenty of room in the dinning room. The bar in the back probably keeps this joint a float. read more

The atmosphere is fun. The food is good. There is plenty of room so you don't feel like you're dining on top of the table next to you. The appetizers are great for that type of day when you work through lunch and don't want to spoil supper. It's a place that they learn your name and know you when you walk in. read more

We will never again eat here. We spent two hours being basically ignored by wait staff that would rather wander aimlessly or sit and chat with each other, then we were served mediocre food of a temperature that let us know it had been sitting around the kitchen for some time. We were the only ones in the restaurant, and it's no wonder with food and service like this. People who claim it's amazing have either visited it in some bygone era or have no palate or sense of time. I don't expect it to be around much longer. read more

Cute local place in Clay City offers a nice mix of foods. Their lunch specials are always good and it doesn't hurt they have homemade ice cream and super cute decor! If you're passing through or from the city it's a nice local spot to visit! read more

Great TVs, good food. POOR service. Sitting for 10 minutes without anyone acknowledging our arrival, managers walking by, servers walking by. This happening 2 nights in a row. Came back the 2nd night because we were invited to meet friends. You have a gold mine here. You need more bartenders, one at 5pm can't keep up with a restaurant and this size bar! read more

First I should say that when our family entered, there were very few groups in there, and soon we were the only ones in the restaurant. Despite this, it took what seemed like an eternity before we could get service. Everything took forever. We had to especially ask for the table to be wiped down, had to ask for utensils to eat with...the wait staff was simply neglectful and incompetent. They repeatedly disappeared and ignored us when they walked by. When we finally got our food, surprise? no, it was cold. Even if it had been hot, it wasn't very good, not awful, but not good. All in all, this horrible lunch took more than two hours and left the kids bored and frustrated. This place is completely black-listed for us. read more

This was my first visit. Unfortunately, I won't be going out of my way to come back soon. I wanted to like this place, but our service was terrible. To start, my wife and I ordered The Hot Brown and The Monte Cristo, and the dishes were mediocre at best. Still, we remained optimistic about trying the dessert. With the small-town, Mayberry ambiance, we assumed that milkshakes and sundaes would help us end our visit on a sweet and positive note. Wrong again. After waiting 20 minutes for one milkshake and one brownie sundae, I finally saw our waitress begin to put together our desserts. From the start, we could tell she was sick--sniffing, coughing, and congested. I watched her lick her fingers after topping the hot fudge. Gross, but she hadn't actually touched the food. Yet. Because then, to my dismay and horror, I watched her stick those same spittled fingers into the cherry jar and top my brownie sundae. When she finally brought us our desserts, I was fairly disgusted, and my wife's milkshake was soupy. She apologized for taking so long to make the desserts, but she never explained why, and we were still charged full price. On a positive note, the inside was cute. Too bad the food and service isn't worth the time, money, and potential disease. read more

Service was good as we were their only customers. Had a chicken salad with oranges and my friend had the tenderloin. Coke and water and bill was $22.00 Little high for a sandwich and a salad . read more

This restaurant is like a local sports museum and an oldies dinner. The food is fairly good, its clean. The service is a little slow and the prices are a little high. Things that I would recommend is the prime rib, chicken wings, and spaghetti. They also have good sweet tea. read more

Unfortunately this place has went downhill. We loved to patronize this mom and pop place and enjoy the decor but we can no longer support it. For the last two times the waitress has been terrible. Not friendly and offensively rude. When asked if Glory Days was a fun place to work she immediately replied "NO". After replying "I could tell" the waitress returned to the kitchen and someone was heard saying "Go slap him around" referring to us. When asked for a steak recommendation she replied "Neither, I don't like anything". Requested a bottle of steak sauce and it was empty. A hair was in the mudville steak. Medium rare ribeye was well done. Silverware given only after requested, No frosty mugs. Watched an elderly man drop his cane and the waitress watched as the man struggled to pick it up. Had to request a manager twice to voice our complaints. The waitress was too busy explaining her actions to management before we could voice our grievances. I hope the owner shakes it up and gets it back on track. Until then we will patronize other mom and pops read more

We stopped in while on a lengthy detour for Route 46. A diner out front, and a (smallish) sports bar in the back. We sat in a booth in the bar, baseball playoffs on the TVs. The food we had was quite good (I had the Hot Brown, my girlfriend the BLT). their homemade potato chips were awesome. If I ever find my way back to Clay City, I'll definitely eat here again! read more

We had a PHENOMENAL dinner here last night. Not our first time here but the first time in a long while. Glory Days far exceeded our expectations. We sat on the pub side and both had the Prime Rib. Everything was perfect - from the appetizer, to the main course, the taste, the timing, the outstanding service, and the value. They sure set the bar high, we'll be back soon. Highly recommended!!!! read more

I really hate to rip on a small local place like this, but I've never had good food here. Good service, once. Good thing each trip was on someone else's dime. We had a reunion there some time ago, and the variety of food served was deplorable. I've had sandwiches, wings, salads, and each time, they were borderline inedible. The last time I was invited along, I just had tea. It was weak. I'll go there for the friends, the decor, and the ambiance, but the food? No. Never eating it again. read more

I went to this restaurant about a year ago The atmosphere was so neat I loved the old sports memorabilia from area teams the food was excellent & the service was great I got a burger & onion rings the servings were large and very good! read more

Well if this wasn't some of the best food I've ever had. I live in NYC so I get good food all the time. I was visiting the area for the Covered Bridge Festival and needed some good home cookin in my life. Let me preface that I am a HONEY MUSTARD connoisseur as well as sauces in general, because, why not? Well all theirs are HOMEMADE and this honey mustard I wanted to rub all over my face and not shower for days. Their chicken tenders are not tenders - they are the best of the breast. They're HUGE. Apparently they hand-bread them and it shows. The fried pickles app was awesome. The applesauce - amazing. The lemonade and iced tea - amazing. The HOMEMADE PIES were to die for. The old school 50s diner feel is unlike anything I've seen. Run, don't walk, to this place. I'd run but I gained a couple LBS on my trip. But seriously - nothing short of amazing food and a great menu to boot. ILL BE BACK! read more

What you can expect from a small town diner. Good food and good service. I love all the decor that shows the city over the decades.

The burgers are great, and the Monte Cristo is pretty good as well. I have had the steak but can't say it was the best (I wasn't expecting steak house quality when I ordered it). The decor is enjoyable to look at, and my kids always have to ride the horse before we leave. read more

We had been at the Exotic Feline Rescue Center for a 5k fundraiser earlier in the day. We had heard about Glory Days from a friend, and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed! The staff is so warm and welcoming - and the food is absolutely amazing! Pair that with the wonderful, nostalgic decorations throughout the entire restaurant, and it's like dining in a museum! We love it there and will definitely return! read more

Nifty mom-and-pop Soda Shop kind of atmosphere out front, but the hidden gem is towards the back. A shrine to old Indiana sports memorabilia, the little bar is worth your journey to this tiny hamlet in south central Indiana. I grew up 20 minutes from this place (which didn't exist when I was a kid), so I will always return when I'm visiting family. If there's an IU or ISU basketball game on the TV, I can think of no better place to watch. My only wish would be more local beer on tap (maybe some Upland? at least they had Champagne Velvet in bottles, for which I am deeply grateful). read more

I visited the St Petersburg location at 7:00 pm and ordered the shrimp platter. I was very dissapointed. Shrimp was overcooked and tasted like it had been fried in old oil. Everything (shrimp, French fries, and cole slaw were all too salty! I will not be going back there again. read more

Great atmosphere. You've got a great 50s style diner on one side and a old fashioned sports bar on the other. I've never had a bad meal and it's a great destination stop! read more

Yes their service can be slow, but get over it....Plan ahead and don't be in a hurry. Family owned and good atmosphere. Love going back in the pub, relaxing and good decor too. Also good meeting room for small company parties. Get the chicken wings and homemade chips. Also good wraps and sandwiches. read more

Great food!! Great service!! Great prices!! Always friendly service!! I highly recommend Glory Days!!

Awesome little restaurant for some yummy diner food. Great atmosphere that goes a long way. I stop every year when I bike for Habitat and we continue going to this day. read more

Very good food and amazing decor honoring the history of the small community. Only complaint is it usually takes a good while to get your food so don't go there if your in a hurry. read more

I loved the atmosphere at Glory Days!! Very good food, and very nice waitress! We got our food fairly quick. I just loved how awesome the decor looked and that there was a table juke box! I got the Big Ez with a cup of fruit and it was freshly sliced too, no syrup which made it even better and afterwords got a chocolate malt, which was also so good!! read more

I think glory days has great food for a sit down restuarant but they are a little high. If you order just a sandwhich you get a side of home made potato chips (cooked daily) or some other options they give you. The sandwhiches usually are enough to fill you up and they only cost around 5.99 unlike there dinners which start out at 7.99 (not including drink plus tip) I find that the best way to eat food there is to order over the phone and then go pick it up. No need to leave a tip for a server or order drinks when you'll have drinks at your home. read more

We stop in as often as we can! Love the food & atmosphere! Some of our favorites are: Fried Pickles, Black & Bleu Burger, Montreal Steak and love all their homemade dressings/ sauces as well!! read more

Very good food, nice atmosphere as well!! I would recommend it to anyone passing through Clay City. You can have a nice set down meal with out the high prices of a national chain restaurant. read more
