Service was quick and friendly! Walk up windows for to-go offers was super convenient. But, I was excited to try one of their advertised "triple thick" milkshakes and was disappointed with more of a thick chocolate milk with huge chunks of toppings in it. This picture was immediately after leaving the restaurant where I walked up to order, but sadly looks like a milkshake that has been left in a hot car. The ingredients themselves were tasty but def not what I was looking for. Probably wouldn't go back for just a milkshake again. read more

Had the Big Glenn combo today. It fit the bill for my craving. We had a very sweet server that recommended several items off the menu and the specials. We had to end with sundaes for the ride home. read more

Hometown diner loved by locals! Service was good food was good, flies were bad, prices very good. The old timey fly strips hanging above the table next to ours wasn't working effectively. Floor was sticky and bathrooms are outside (think gas station style). I had the loaded blackened chicken salad and hubby had cheeseburger dinner with a baked potato both of us had iced tea. Less than $25. read more

My first time ever eating from Glenn's! The hotdog was pretty good, but it had way too much mustard so it overpowered it. I ended up taking the hotdog and toppings out of the bun to remove as much of the mustard as I could and it was still a lot. Next time I'll just ask for easy mustard! The chips were delicious and crispy! Overall it was good and we will definitely be going back. There were so many good options on the menu it was hard to choose what to get! Service was good and we ordered take out, so we didn't get a good feel for the atmosphere inside, but it's casual and laid back for sure! read more

Upon entering we sat ourselves in a cozy, well established diner style restaurant. There was a good combination of photo top booths, bar seating, and pull up chair table tops. Low-key loved having lunch here. Went with the server recommendation of the rodeo chick sandwich. Friends, this was a bread chicken patty, crispy bacon, melty provolone cheese, subtle bbq sauce and a perfect fried onion ring. I can't deny that this will become a future craving. And yes the tots are tatered in-house. Crispy, flaky, hot and perfect. This will be included in the "Lunching in Wilkesboro" monthly rotation. read more

Super cute, super old, divey diner. Very inexpensive, cheap even. Food was fast and fresh. Burger and BLT, and fries. Service a bit slow but we weren't in a hurry. Fun classic place that is historic and getting close to one of a kind. Worth the jaunt off the highway. Fun ice cream options too, shakes and dipped cones! They were out of a lot of dessert options though. read more

Great food and awesome prices. The staff is amazing and so friendly. They have the best Chicken and Dumplings in town every Thursday. They have the best ice. It is these tiny pellets. It's so good. Their chocolate dip topped ice cream is amazing. Very clean. Cute lunch counter too sit at. Tons of parking. Only downside is the bathroom is outside behind the building. I don't like that. But it's an old building. 50 years in business. read more

Glenn's is a local spot that has pics of the beloved Glenn periodically posted around. Soft crispy tater tots were a great addition to excellent burger. Local spot that looks to be loved for their lunch food as well their sweet treats. read more

Reminds me of my favorite childhood restaurant. Good food and good people. Yummy milk shakes burgers and fries.

They made my Carolina classic hamburger without a bun so I could put it on my own gluten free bun. After that wonderful burger my waiter made me the best real banana milkshake. The best I've had since childhood. read more

If you are in the mood for a burger or grilled cheese - the best place to go. It is a hole in the wall and my partner was a little hesitant to go in, but very glad we did! read more

Atmospheric. Traditional eggs and bacon. Tried the liver mush on recommendation of our lovely server. Glad we tried... but not again!

I give this place one star only because service was friendly bit could have offered my drink sooner, 30 minute wait for a footling hotdog combo, and the only thing good about that was the French fries should have gotten some ranch and made a meal of them, I mean how can you mess up a hotdogs, bun flat like they tried to mend 2 single buns together, when bread box is next door, understand the toasted bun good thought but not happening, even the idea of roasting the winner on the grill, but still didn't help, dry and no flavor and chilli was non existed dty as well no flavor, loaded with Big Chuncks of onion, only ask for three toppings Mayo, Chilli & Onion, plus my wait time for the meal made me late for another appointment, sitting their waiting for my order i actually thought about leaving twice until she gave me my drink, could've made that time on highway and grabbed food from another spot i know is good for 9 dollars???? read more

No longer cash only, you can pay with a card. Only been living here a year, but this food is freaking delicious. You might not think so at first glance, but everything is done really well and I have to say it's my favorite burger place in Wilkes. Fries are to die for, something about the way they do their shakes, and burgers and sandwiches are great too. read more

Perfect little spot that flashed me back to my childhood eating at southern diners. Places like this have seem to disappear at a fast rate but my meal today brought a big smile to my face. Cant wait to go back. read more

Great little dive hamburger, hot dog, ice cream place. The locals seem to enjoy their sliced bbq and baked spaghetti also. Amazing service inside or at the walk up windows. Love a place with history! read more

The Glenn Burger is awesome. I recommend it with mayo tomato and lettuce. The hushpuppies are delish and my daughter enjoyed her chicken nuggets. The one waitress who was doing everything was kind and attentive. The dining atmosphere is simple and plain with tracings of what looks like an old diner. read more

Very friendly professional staff. The food was well prepared, and it was hot and tasty. When I'm in town I will definitely return again.

This place is awesome. Their location a bit disconcerting, sitting just across the street from the Tyson chicken plant, we decided to brave it anyway based on a recommendation - "They've got delicious ham biscuits." Unfortunately, they only serve ham biscuits until 11am. It was 12:30. Fortunately, we happened upon what Glenn's is really known for - their 50+ milk shakes. The group went for malt shakes all around - Strawberry Banana, Vanilla & Chocolate. My medium Peanut Butter malt shake was incredible - one of the best I've ever had. And it cost $3.40. And the kind older woman who waited on us was sassy and awesome. My rating is, of course, limited to this experience and a shake only. I can't speak for the ham biscuits or the burgers, but I'd definitely come back and try. read more

My experience at Glenn's did not match most of the ratings. Somewhat cute and quaint and family owned and operated, I found Glenn's to be a forgettable experience, as my meal was merely good. The onion rings had a nice crunchy exterior, but lacked a little in flavor and seasoning. The fries were fine, and the burger was good. But that's it. Just good. I couldn't even taste the chili, and the slaw was a little creamy for my taste. Staff was decently friendly, but I thought the price was a little high for what I received. read more

Glenn's is a very historic place to Wilkes County. It has been around for a very long time and is a big part of the heritage. The food is excellent, the shakes are out of this world, and it's very close to town. One problem- it is across the street from Tyson, and the smell from the parking lot is revolting. Once inside the building, the smell doesn't affect your restaurant experience. Also, the restrooms are outside due to the age of the building, and they aren't exactly the cleanest restrooms around. However, the workers are very personable and you can just about strike up a conversation with any of them. Glenn's is definitely worth your visit. read more

Not sure what everyone is so impressed with at Glenn's. We ate there for breakfast today and were not impressed at all. The food was palatable at best. One waitress was decent, the other not at all. Decor? There' is none. Now maybe lunch and dinner food is much better, and maybe that is what brings people back. As for us, we will not be back! read more

Solid joint! Old school! Great food, prices and the service is stellar! I'm visiting from Colorado and I may come back just to eat at Glenn's. Thank you folks for keeping it real read more

I love their toasted cheese sandwiches and quick service. Definitely a great place to eat if you don't have a lot of time on your lunch break. read more

A real throwback in venue but far from it on pricing. Food was good but not for what they charged! Staff was pretty friendly but you could see a much better smile and attitude with the regulars there. I'd like to think I'd go back but it would be only with friends who insist on going. read more

Good food. They did not accept cards, cash only. I had to go to BB&T and get cash to pay. Great service from the waitress that I had.
