Just had a terrible experience. I ordered a $10 power omelette and asked for hash browns rather than pancakes. Server said "NO" we don't allow that. I was shocked and said, "really, are you serious"? She was so I left, before leaving I spoke to the owner and mentioned this to him thinking he would apologize and allow me to make the simple substitution. Boy was I in for a surprise. He went on to tell me how strict his menu was and that tho is why he is so successful. I said he just lost a regular customer and he said that he was a different kind of business owner than be, "a successful one". What an ass. They are off my list and I will shout from the mountain top about this jerk. read more

This is a great location for a hearty breakfast. Big portions makes the meals great to share or for left overs! I will defiantly be back when I'm craving an omelette and potatoes. read more

Service was not great. Our waitress was less than friendly or attentive. That said food was good and reasonably priced. We'll give it another try. It's a family owned restaurant so I expected, small town service. read more

Love this place! My husbands' and mine favorite place to go for breakfast. The wait line can be out the door sometimes but the owner tries his best to seat you fast and he always does. The food is always hot and the service is always great. There are a variety of dishes on the menu but we always seem to get the same thing every time we come! Must try the country fried steak, it's the best! read more

The web site says the restaurant closes at 2:30pm. The restaurant door says it closes at 2:30pm. I arrive at 2:15pm with the intention of asking if the kitchen is still open, and if so, if it is still a good time to order. I pull on the door and it's locked. I see people walking back and forth in the back of the restaurant. Why advertise a closing time if you are not going to honor it? There was no one even near the door at 2:15. So what time did it really close, 2:00? 1:30? I also called after pulling on the door; there was no answer. My daughter was disappointed and asked why we weren't going in. I had to explain to her that they closed the restaurant although the hours indicate they should still be open. I also explained that it is a good sign that it's probably not a very good restaurant. read more

Awesome food! Ordered Clover Benedict! So much food! You'll skip lunch! Service good; atmosphere super casual! A regular stop for sure!

My absolute favorite breakfast spot. This is classic dinner food. They do a great job of getting food out quick. A total plus if you are waiting for a table on Sunday morning. The skillets are amazing. read more

Glen Oak Cafe is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the place is immaculate. I cannot say enough about this location. The best egg white and spinach breakfast I've ever had. read more

My son and I frequently find ourselves here for late breakfast/lunch...the owner is always there to greet us, and we always have the same very sweet blond waitress with glasses! Had the "perfect lunch" last time a cup of my fav split pea soup, half an egg salad sandwich and it also came with a large serving of spinach salad which I took home and had for supper and was very good!! Lunch and dinner in one. My son usually enjoys the skillets and wraps very much! Glad to have such a nice place in walking distance, sorry it's not open for dinner :(... read more

I had breakfast here on Thursday morning and it was horrible. I had German eggs Benedict which sounded amazing but I ordered fruit on the side (which I never do but I was trying to be healthy) and it was old. It was a weird color so I should have known it was bad but I thought...the waitress wouldn't serve me bad fruit. Oh but she did! It was old and had that awful taste and ruined everything. So if they have no problem serving visibly old fruit just imagine what else they will serve you. read more

Consistently good food, nice atmosphere and very friendly service. My only complaint is their coffee, that is disappointingly weak. It's definitely not expensive coffee they're using so how much more would it cost the owners to put a few more scoops of grounds into every pot they brew? read more

My favorite diner! Pancakes or chicken strips with fries! Can't go wrong with quick service and comfortable seating. Oatmeal berry crunch is a healthy favorite! read more

Ok food. The service could have been faster. Seemed the waitress had too many tables to handle by herself. It wasn't bad just seemed really busy and maybe they were not on top of there game that day. read more

Typical Greek style restaurant with everything on the menu. Nothing fancy but a great easy place to go for a good breakfast!

Just visited Glen Oak Café for breakfast for my second and final time. Thought the first time was my imagination but on my second visit their service (or lack there of) was confirmed. Seems to be if you were a regular customer they will stand around the breakfast bar and talk with you forever but good luck getting service if you're sitting in one of the booths and you're a Newby. Never once was I asked for a refill on my coffee, icewater... or for that matter on anything. I hope these folks realize that there are numerous breakfast spots available and I will certainly be taking my business to one of them. read more

The lunch posse including myself always get the red carpet treatment at the entrance. Owner and staff are very friendly and the food is delish. "And there's CE"!!! read more

Greasy food that gave my boyfriend food poisoning! I ordered a skillet that was soaking wet with grease and had mounds of cheese. It was impossible to separate and I kept getting mouthfuls of wet, greasy Swiss cheese. I decided not to eat it, and honestly I have NEVER not eaten my meal at a restaurant. Our server, who was nice (the only redeeming quality of this place), offered to "pick the cheese off" which I found equally disgusting. My boyfriend ordered an omelette that was also very gross. I complained at the front and still ended up paying $40 for a bad breakfast. We both left the restaurant feeling very sick, and my boyfriend spent the day with food poisoning. I think the reason this place stays in business is that the clientele is primarily elderly people using it as a social club. This place needs to either make way better food or cut their prices in half, they have no right to charge two $$ for food like this. read more

This is our go-to restaurant during the week and on weekends. We live around the corner and Glen Oak never fails! It has a great feel inside and the staff is friendly. We always have a hard time deciding if we should order breakfast or lunch because both menus are delicious. My favorite is the Chicken and Rice Soup. I could eat that every day! We are always bringing home leftovers because the portions are a great size. :) If you haven't been to Glen Oak yet, you need to go. read more

Such a nice place! Food was good, service was also good! They were very accommodating for our family and service dog. If we are in the area again we would definitely go again. read more

Perfect spot for breakfast! Only wish it were closer to my home. Even though they were slammed, we received great service with our delicious meal. read more

I visited over the weekend. Great service from the staff. Very friendly and accommodating. The manager even stopped by our table to see how our food was. The food was excellent and the portions were generous for the price. Can't wait to go back! read more

This Restaurant is the best in town. The service is awesome and the food is top Quality

Once again - Dean and the team at Glen Oak have satisfied not only our stomachs, but our taste buds! the Crispy Chicken Salad is delicious and the Cream of Chicken Rice soup is my favorite! The restaurant is clean, the people are very friendly and they deliver locally! Best family restaurant around!! read more

Food was good. Tried the red velvet French toast and it was awesome!!! Would go back just for that!! The decor is nice and modern- not like most diners. Waitress was not so nice. Very short & not friendly- treated us like we were more of an inconvenience for her. read more

I usually order biscuits with sausage gravy only in the South, but took a chance and was very pleased. Two large buttermilk biscuits with gravy, two eggs. Gravy was not too salty, which is often an issue. The biscuits were very large, if you have a smaller appetite, consider the half-order. Coffee was good. Attentive, but not hovering, service. read more

This is a family friendly diner with delicious food. The staff is lightning quick. The food is amazing. I recommend the ham it up omelet. Since there is new ownership, the place is very nicely redecorated. A must visit if you are in the area. read more

Everything about this place is awesome. The food is above par. The portions are generous. The staff is super friendly. My whole family loves this place. read more

Hard to beat for breakfast. A short wait around 11 am on a busy Sunday morning. Everyone pitches in to bus tables and get people seated. My Clover Bendict was hot with perfectly poached eggs and crispy hash browns. Always need a box at this place. My partner had his usual skirt steak skillet and was very satisfied. A great value for the $$. read more

I was so disappointed; I won't be back. I watched and heard the whole exchange between the owner and another patron. I'll get to that. I tend to order breakfast things at this place but have ordered from all parts of the menu. The only thing consistent about my food quality have been poorly cooked eggs. I always order eggs as "over medium" and without fail the eggs come with runny egg whites. I've ordered iced tea only to be told they were out and the owner wasn't going to allow the staff to make more. The staff performs better when the owner isn't there; they seem more relaxed. The exchange I heard today made it clear I don't want to return. A large man came in (think 6'3" or better and close to 300 I'd guess) waited to be seated, and the owner tried to seat him in the smaller booths around the cash register. The patron responds he can't fit comfortably into any of those ... side note the patron wasn't rude but was brusk. The owner asked him to leave! There were other places open! The guy left and the owner chased after him. I couldn't hear all this part but it sure seemed to me the owner was being a jerk at this point. The guy was gone already, why? I could go on .. if you're reading this you get my point. Not a place I'd recommend anyone go. read more

Truly enjoyed everything here from walking in to be seated at a comfortable booth table to walking out with a full belly. We arrived at 1:55pm, 5 minutes before the kitchen closed, our server Catherine said it was okay that we can still order in time. We were served waters right away by the busser. We had no idea the kitchen closed at 2pm but decided easily what we wanted to order from their menu. Catherine was amazing, great & friendly attitude. We received our food in 10 minutes. Food presentation was excellent. I really loved the Veggie Benni (eggs benedict with spinach, mushroom, cheese, hollandaise sauce served on top of a potato pancake & a side of fresh cut fruit). I was very impressed with the space, hanging plants, open windows that brought in plenty of natural light, and the fresh flowers that smelled wonderful at the host stand. But more impressed with the customer service, everyone was friendly & we felt very welcomed even though we didn't know we were coming in 5 minutes before they closed their kitchen. We can't wait to come back! read more

We have gone to Glen Oaks for years and were always please . With that said, our last time there was a nightmare. The soup was thick,a spoon could stand up in the cup. When we ask the waitress to take it away, she became nasty & rude. Next came our hot "turkey" . It was pressed turkey & slimy. We asked for the owner, he shouted across the room at us, yelling and very rude. We will never return. read more

The room was very cold. In fact there was a breeze where I was sitting. When I mentioned it to the severer she said the whole place was cold. The steam from my coffee was blowing horizontally. I understand that it was a cold day, but if this is known as a cold seat no one should be seated there. We moved the table farther away from the window. I still wore my coat the entire time we were there. It was slightly better. I ordered pancakes with strawberries and bananas. When I got a bite from the bottom pancake I found a brown sticky substance. It turned out to be chocolate chips. Which were not supposed to be on my plate. I understand that chocolate chips are not a disgusting thing, but I did not know what it was for a bit and that experience was nauseating. When I mentioned this to the server she offered me something else to eat. No thank you. I also mentioned my experience to the person at the cash register. No real concern. read more

We love Glen Oaks. I've only ever had breakfast there, but it keeps us going back - and hey - it's the most important meal of the day right? No matter what time of day! My go to is the meat lovers skillet. I haven't eaten in in a while - but when we did the skillet actually comes in a piping hot skillet, go figure! But keeps it nice and toasty. There was a period of time when we were regulars, and the wait staff was always courteous and some even remembered the typical orders. We've now transitioned more to carrying out. No reflection on the restaurant, just on a different route now, and the only thing better than Sunday brunch out, is the same delicious food being eaten on the couch in pajamas. One of the last times I was in to pick up the food (which is always ready very quickly) I happened to grab a menu to take with me. Apparently it had been a while since I had actually looked at one because it looked like they had quite a few new options. Prices have gone up some, which of course I may grumble to my husband about, but they are still reasonable and I understand are a part of business. Really one skillet usually gets me at least two normal breakfasts, or three smaller ones, so I can't complain too much. We will continue to go back! read more

DEFINITELY worth a try!! Spend your money here and support a local eatery! Even though my Monterey Bacon Omelette was missing the fresh pico de gallo and sour cream (which I didn't even realize until I talked about my meal with someone later in the day!), my visit to Glen Oak Cafe for Sunday lunch was quite positive. Our server was attentive and our orders came quickly even though the place was fairly busy. The menu spoke to their obvious bent towards breakfast, and the portion I received (omelette, hash browns and two pancakes) was enough for me to request a take-home box! Lots of avocado and bacon in my omelette but sad that I missed out on the toppings the kitchen left off. I had not eaten here in several years (the last time was "forgettable") but having heard about the new owner and rev'd up menu and decor, we tried it today with friends and we were all pleasantly surprised! Glen Oak will definitely be on our radar now, as we much prefer to patronize local eateries instead of chains. read more
