The server was efficient and personable. 5 out of 5 The food was good! A huge pancake for my wife that she couldn't finish! My omelette was cooked perfectly. 4 out of 5 only because taste has to be unique and blow me away to be a 6. Finally the location in downtown Lake Placid, Fl is quiet and homey. There is outside seating for nice days; and a spacious, nicely decorated inside! 4-5 read more

The food was fantastic. The presentation was very nice and the combination of flavors was amazing. I had so many "southern" choices and the descriptions were clear. The only other thing to say is that the service was impeccable. I've been treated with the attentiveness of a 5 star. I have been there a few times now and happily working my way through the menu. read more

We got the Smash Burger Special with chocolate shake. Huge burgers. French fries reminded me of Friendly's. We are in Lake Placid for the Caladium Festival. Quite a time. Service at Glenda Jean's is great. read more

Good and service was great ! Breakfast Burrito was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This place is a little slice of heaven. Great omelets, friendly service and kitschy gifts all under one roof! Highly recommend! read more

Haven't been here in awhile because they close so frickin early ! This obsession with LP restaurants to close by 2 is beyond obscene and this place closes at 1:30 ! Which really means you need to order by 1 oclock ... why are you afraid of late lunch or god forbid dinner crowds ? If the food is good people will come ... i swear they will... read more

One of my favorite pastimes is to try a new to me privately owned breakfast joint and this great place really hit the spot! Atmosphere- Florida kitsch and local pictures is standard décor for these places at this one is no surprise and nicely done. Everything is spotless. There are three outside tables with giant umbrellas to mitigate that nasty Florida sun. They have been open about a year and a half and the place was rocking! Customer Service- Funny, efficient perfection! I enjoyed some great Black Friday humor with my server. Food- These places tend to have a standard American menu in Central Florida and I'm not complaining. No surprises on the menu; just expected American choices. I ordered my go-to Ham & Cheese Omelet and I asked them to hold the bread. Why you ask? Because the portions are so large, I never get to it. In this case, I was right again! A perfect omelet and buttery hash browns and I was in heaven and stuffed. BTW- it went for about $8.99. I love that they leave a carafe of coffee on the table. One look at the reviews and you know these folks have their act together. I'm joining the fan club! read more

Very varied menu for breakfast, full 2 sided menu. One person ordered a cinnamon roll to start with, very cinnamony and good. One person had eggs and blueberry pancakes and enjoyed those another had eggs with French toast, another had sausage and gravy, I had the Hot Rhonda. It's a chicken breast with 2 easy over eggs on top, between 2 mini waffles with hot honey on the chicken. It's a was wonderful, loved the hot honey and it worked perfectly together with the chicken, waffle and eggs. Service was very good and apparently the new ice cream counter with 32 different kinds of ice cream is a new addition ( it wasn't open at 10 am on a Sat. morning). The restaurant has a small town cafe feel. Breakfast prices were a bit higher than other places in the areas, my Hot Rhonda was one of the cheaper items at around $10.50. I can't remember the eggs with pancakes price ( think was typically priced, omelets were higher) and I can't enlarge the menu to read the prices. read more

Has really gone downhill the last year or so. No silverware nor glass plates. No waiter to take your order. Only been there once in the last year, but the food seemed less homemade and more "food supplier" made. read more

Staff were all friendly and outgoing. Food was DELICIOUS! We got a Reuben and a Chicken Melt. Both sandwiches were served hot, with a side order of fries that were steaming and crispy! The Marble Rye bread was perfectly toasted and oh so tasty! We will definitely be back! read more

Is quaint little country diner bright in the middle of Florida. This place is clean efficient and taste great. If you get a chance, definitely swing by and give the special a try. read more

Great food, large portions, local favorite. Downtown Lake Placid, close enough to walk the murals.

While the food was good, we felt it was a bit overprice! I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich which was $8.99 and came with nothing! They would be well served to add a handful of chips and a pickle! We added an order of sweet potato fries which were $4.50! hubby had a Philly Cheese steak sandwich which was $11.99.....again just a sandwich. Our meal, with tip was $30! in our view not worth the price. However, the Restaurant was cute and the staff friendly! read more

A quaint restaurant. We went for breakfast and the dining area is rather cozy. The scrambled eggs were rather dry and the toast was a little stiff. This is definitely a mom and pop venue. The pricing is fair. read more

Best food and service. They truly make you feel at home. My favorite place to eat breakfast.

Good food and good service. Comfort food was delicious I would recommend the Red Corvette chicken sandwich.

Grits raw, toast had a stick of butter on each slice, $$$$$$ place is expensive..except their coffee $1 Cooking just ain't that good. read more

love love love , everyone is so friendly, the food is delish. The Philly cheese and fries are the best!

Back again to try a different one on burger Wednesday. Burger, side, and drink for $12.49. Sooo good. Burgers always have a great flavor so this time we tried the philly cheese burger and the mushroom Swiss. Both were perfectly done and as tasty as the last time. The other member of our party had the chicken salad plate and raved to us about it. We sat outside on a pleasant day under the umbrella and service was great. This place is excellent for breakfast as well so don't miss it. LPStevenreviews #stevensleavin read more

We were looking for a restaurant with WiFi. This was not it, but we are so, so glad we stayed to eat anyway! The chicken salad melt was delicious! And my husband thought they did something magical to the Reuben sauce. The fried green tomatoes were worth the premium side price as they were crisp and perfectly seasoned, with a ranch dipping sauce. Everything that should have been crispy was, amazingly so, the bread on the sandwiches & the thick sweet potato fries (another premium side). Also, the sodas were served in enormous glasses, which didn't keep the friendly and attentive staff from offering us refills. They are only open until 2pm, but next time I drive through Lake Placid, I'll try to do it early enough to eat here again. read more

The atmosphere was casual and friendly. Service was prompt. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were very generous. We were all blown away by the flavors and quality. read more

My boyfriend and I make it a point to eat at this restaurant every time we come to town to visit my family. If you're looking for southern comfort food, this is the place! Their corn bread is to DIE FOR! I switch it up to every time I go but it's all been wonderful. Our server Chris made us feel so welcomed and was so knowledgeable about the menu. My boyfriend is from Mississippi and he said this is the closest he's gotten to comfort food since moving to Florida last year! read more

After touring the murals in town, our group of four walked to Glenda Jeans for lunch. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day and we had dogs with us. Our server was extraordinary! He knew the menu and answered all questions. The menu offered good choices and we each had something different. Reuben, Hot Rhonda, Chicken Salad Melt and The Fan Club. The food was outstanding! If ever in the area, we would return. read more

Food was phenomenal. The split pea soup that we had was probably the best we've had around we tried two different sandwiches, and both of them were excellent. The service was really good. The prices were extremely reasonable. Everybody was just really nice very helpful and the iced tea was fresh and delicious. read more

I called in my order My plate lunch (with $2 tip) was $19. 50 Food was not that good They even forgot my biscuit On line showed $12.00 BEWARE Older worker there agreed I was overcharged Young teenage girl said no they had raised there prices $19.00 for a plate lunch ?? That was not that good Go find you a nice restaurant & get a great meal for that price Only reason l gave them any star because I had to to leave review read more

Food and service, has always been pretty good. Coffee is real good. My complaint is..in a months time, prices were raised about 50%. That was a shocker. So here's the thing. We're not going back, because we can eat all we want at Golden Corral Grill for breakfast and it cost about the same as we used to pay at Glenda Jeans. plus we had coupons for $2.00 off. Thats a lot less. Glenda Jeans just too expensive for a regular breakfast. They will lose customers. Thats too bad. read more

Very good food and friendly staff. Great service. Has the feel of a hometown country diner.

It's a cute little country cafe. Breakfast is delicious. The serving size is more than enough. Service is great.

Good place for breakfast! Tiny place so often full! Good service too! Typical breakfast fair and prices are average! Will be back!
