Visiting from Charlotte, NC and we love Thai cuisine so stopped by here. We ordered Masaman curry,…read morered curry fried rice, pad see u, mango sticky rice and one thing from kids menu, I have to say we have had better Thai food in NC. Food was just okay but dessert (mango sticky rice) was horrible, the coconut cream was watery and it just didn't taste right. The other thing that was surprising and not acceptable was the service charge, why do we have to pay the number they put it in if we didn't like the food as much, maybe I wanted to pay more or less of the already added number. Not coming here again.

The service we received was excellent and we will definitely be back again someday to see if it was just a one time thing.

It is indeed quite friendly, our server was helpful and efficient and easygoing despite our children. And the menu claims that they are famous for their excellent burgers and you know what? The burger was excellent! A nice old-school very beefy patty with crunchy lettuce and juicy tomato. I was very pleased by the whole experience and would happily come back next time we're in Empire.

Insanely good smashburgers, perfectly cooked fries, and simpler menu that makes a few things really well. I had their version of a patty melt along with some Parm fries. My wife wasn't super impressed with the olive burger, but we loved the vibe and would definitely come back again when we're in TC.

We gave Glendale Burger Shop a shot this weekend and they delivered a great smash burger and nice…read morefries! The Oliver (triple) was exactly what I'd been craving in a Michigan-style olive burger. The pimento olive spread was generously slathered on to the crispy lacey-edged smash burger patties topped with Swiss cheese on a nicely toasted brioche bun. The olive spread was perfect...just enough to be bursting with flavor, but not so overpowering that it dominated the entire burger. The fam tried The Junction and The Laura, both on lightly toasted Gluten Free buns. The Junction (Glendale's version of the classic Oklahoma onion burger) was very good, and the GF bun was met with positive reviews. Glendale even offers GF fries, which were excellent (their normal fries are seasoned & battered; but the GF fries were a bit better). If you're looking for a thicker, juicier burger, this is not your place. These are straight up paper thin, crispy smashers. And if that's what you're looking for, I'd recommend no less than a double, if not a triple. Drink selections include bottles of various Northwoods sodas, sparkling water, and other choices from the cooler. Glendale presents as an old-school diner, with cool decorations and some posters of Saginaw heritage (the owner's roots). Speaking of the owners...the lady working the register and delivering food to everyone was one...and she was super sweet and nice. It made for a great experience right out of the gate as we were figuring out what we wanted to order. You walk up to the counter and order, then they deliver to your table; or you can sit on a stool at the counter, just like a classic diner. Plenty of seating, but when they get busy, it fills up quickly, yet the service remains fast for the cooked-to-order burgers & fries. Décor is fun (they have a Big Boy!) & fitting for the diner vibe. The entire place is extremely clean and well kept. Pride of ownership shines through in the entire experience.

The eggs were perfectly cooked, the thick-cut bacon was delicious, and the candied jalapeños added just the right amount of sweet heat. The cherry sauce was the perfect finishing touch--flavorful without being overpowering--and everything was served on a fresh, delicious bakery bun. Every bite was outstanding! Combined with the relaxed outdoor seating, friendly service, and beautiful Sunday morning atmosphere, it made for the perfect casual breakfast. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving the Cherry Javelina Sandwich a try while it's available!

This is…read morethebtype of place were you order at the counter and pay and they bring the food out to you. The have 1/3 pound smash burgers. I ordered the El Padre Burger ($17). This burger has Candied Bacon, Pepper Jack Cheese, Grilled Poblanos, Lettuce, Grilled Onions, Chipotle Bbq sauce. The burger was very good. However it's not the best burger I've had in TC. The candied bacon was good, but not candied enough. There also wasn't enough of the bbq sauce. The quality of meat was good, but again wasn't the tastiest I've had in TC. The burger is definitely worth getting with the caveat that it isn't exceptional. The burger comes with Great Lake Potatoes Chips, due to they give you a pond of fries if you order fries. I didn't. I did order a Chocolate Shake ($9). It is a thick shake and reminds me of a Frosty, just more chocolaty. I enjoyed it, but I love frostys. The service was enthusiastic and friendly. Overall a solid 4 star review. Would I return? Yes, I would. Sometimes you crave a smash burger and this definitely hits that bill. Definitely worth a visit.
