This is a solid 3 star place. My friends and I frequent Glory Days after playing softball at night. This is like the ONLY place open so it gets points just for that. There are TVs all over the place with the ability to tune into any of the games. The beers are cold and the food is greasy. Sure, it's not the best food in the world and I'm not saying you should come here with high expectations, BUT do consider this place when you want to watch games and get your grub on. The best thing on the appetizer and bar food menu are the wings. You can mix and match flavors and I believe there's some sort of late night 60/cent deal (min order of 12). As a bonus, all the waitstaff I've encountered are super friendly and attentive. read more

The perfect sports bar. The food menu covers everything you'd want in a sports bar with a comprehensive set of options. The beer is the standard faire (which is why this gets 4 rather than 5 stars). The best part is the sheer number of screens, the excellent service and the fact that each table has their own sound box which you can tune to the sound of any game up on one of the TV screens. I wish other sports bars had this set up. Being a big football fan I enjoyed switching the sound across games at my leisure. Lastly, the beer and food were very reasonably priced. read more

I was in town for a training class, and wanted to find a place to watch the Kings/Ducks playoff game. I came across this place that was fairly close to my hotel. This place has 22 big screen TV's showing a variety of games and events, but the place is extremely loud, so you can't hear anything. They have a small audio receiver at each table that you can select the game you wish to hear, but it wasn't close to being loud enough to overcome the bar noise. Food was just OK. It was Wednesday Wings night, a small discount on their "famous" wings, so I opted for the Hot Boneless wings to start with. A short time later, a server (not my waitress) came out with a plate of "regular" wings. I told him that I ordered the boneless wings, and he stared at me and said, "really?" And then he continued to stare at me, holding the plate in front of me as if I should just accept he brought. I finally said that, "I ordered the boneless wings; swear to God!" He finally took the wings away. Less than a few minutes later, but waitress brought the boneless wings, and didn't mention anything about the earlier mix-up. The wings were just OK. They weren't very hot temperature wise, but very spicy hot (which was OK), but they were dry, and just noting to get excited about. I then ordered their "Hall of Fame Prime" Cheeseburger; self proclaimed at the ultimate cheeseburger made with a 100% USDA Prime rated beef patty. Well, it sounded good, and for the most part, it was a "good" cheeseburger, but it wasn't ultimate. Good flavor, but a bit dry; just good. Anyway, the game started late, and wouldn't end before the place closed at 12 midnight. I mentioned to the waitress that I was hoping to catch the entire game, but felt it might go past closing. She said I was welcome to stay until it was over, that she would be there until at least 12:45, so no rush. That was really nice. So, great place to watch a game, but the food is just average, based on my small sampling of the menu. read more

My family and I love Glory Days. We were very sad when they closed the location that was close to our house in Ashburn. Now we have to go out of our way to drive down here to South Riding. This is my younger son's favorite restaurant, and he specifically wanted to have his birthday party here. He loves the "Shark Bite" drink - they bring a glass of sprite with a rubber toy shark sticking out of it that is full of grenadine, so you pour the red grenadine out of the shark's mouth into the sprite and it's like the shark was full of blood. Sounds a little gross, but my kids love it. I love the food here, and we have always had prompt, attentive, and friendly service. I just wish it were closer to home. read more

I came to Glory Days with a big group of people around 20. We had the back room reserved and all. It suited us nicely. The TV's were small but there wasn't anything good anyway. The service was very good for such a big group. The only mistake I notice was they didn't bring me my last round of beer but they didn't charge me for it. I came in knowing the food wasn't anything great so I wasn't let down but by what I was served. I got the Cheeseburger Trifecta and it was pretty good. The fries were decent too. Actually I have to say it was better than what I expected. I was especially surprised at the size of the generous patty. A double would have filled me on my hungriest night. I was also surprised how packed it was. Apparently this place is popular for its bar on a Friday night. read more

Good bar atmosphere! Great place to watch a football, baseball or March madness game, amongst other sports on TV. Good food, great burgers, especially on half-price burger day. Tasty sandwiches and entrees and great desserts. Usually great service, but we usually don't care when going in to watch sports or have an enjoyable happy hour. Good drinks, bartenders are always on point and can give recommendations, if necessary. read more

Pretty disgusting food. Nachos were cold, wings aren't crispy and cold, sirloin steak had a stench to it. Didn't see a manager anywhere. Whoever is in charge of the kitchen should be replaced. What a disappointment. Not coming back . Covid and most of their masks are below their chin smh read more

The minute I walked in this place I knew I would like it because of the huge Bart Star statue, hello Packer fans!! Don't let the strip mall appearance fool you, this place has plenty of space, and plenty of TV's for watching the game. They can hold groups, or small parties and even has a patio area. They have a full Gluten Free menu and it's one of the few places that has gluten free wings. The wings with Glory Days sauce and fries from the gluten free menu were absolutely delicious. The waitress left much to be desired. She wasn't very attentive, wrote nothing down, and then missed specifics on our orders (sauce on the side, no mayo, etc.). She also just walked up and said, "hi, ready to order?" without any sort of welcome or ask if we needed more than just our waters, etc. read more

It's typical sports bar food. I would have only given three stars but we just loved our server. Zack was great. He said even meat eaters liked the veg. burger. Shocking, it was actually pretty good. We'll go back again for the fries veg. burger and our new friend Zack. read more

Glory Days Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Glory Days is perfectly fine. I live in the area, so I find myself here occasionally. It definitely is a standard neighborhood sports bar--nothing crazy special, but nothing crazy terrible either. They have a TON of TVs, and they have them positioned well so you can see most games from your table. I've admittedly never gone there to watch a "big" game (Superbowl, March Madness, etc.), but for normal weekly games it is definitely a solid option. The food is fine--nothing to write home about, but edible and better than you would get at a lot of sports bars. Their mac&cheese must be terrible for you, but it is really creamy and good. The warm pretzels are pretty good too for something to munch on before the meal. My boyfriend is a fan of their various burgers and sliders. I'm consistently disappointed in their beer selection--I feel like they could really add a lot to the place by just getting a few more craft options on hand. I'll probably be back, but wouldn't tell anyone to travel far for it! read more

I used to frequent this Glory Days at least once a week for lunch (I worked two doors down) and I can't even count how many times for happy hour... So I was really sad to see what it has become this past weekend. The food is still the same (it would get 3-4 stars). But the service my husband and I received was horrible. The servers behind the counter when we walked up (all 4 of them) looked annoyed we interrupted their discussion. After a stare off, they asked how many and seated us in the corner. Our server was polite, but you could tell he'd rather be someplace else (no eye contact, swaying his weight foot to foot, etc) and only checked on us once during our 40 minute visit. We were also treated to another server cursing loudly when he discovered that he had been seated a 12 person group in an otherwise empty restaurant. It was about 4:30 on a Sunday, with all the staff wandering around not really doing much, I would have thought that he would be happy for the revenue, but apparently that was not the case. I'm hoping this was a fluke, and an off day, but am not really willing to go back and give them another chance. There other restaurants with better service in the area if I want to grab a burger or something similar. read more

Pretty much a miserable spot. I get this is a bar so my standards were already low going in. Little did i know that I would leave and never want to step foot in again. We ordered wings and specifically asked for them to be double fried and crispy. They came out mushy. I asked for extra celery, didn't get it. The boneless chicken wings tasted so disgusting and definitely straight out of the freezer bag. The burger patty was dry, but the sweet potato fries were decent. To top that all off, service was terrible. We couldn't even find our waitress most of the time! Maybe they are short staffed in general, but even when we needed extra napkins (of course, eating wings here!) we couldn't find her! THEN, we get the check and they had double charged us on the wings....the wings that we had asked htem to take back and double fry. Overall, the experience was just quite terrible and I will not want to come back! read more

Solid place to get a burger or your typical fanfare of wings or nachos. Service can be a little slow, but the menu has a few gems (try the mac and cheese with crab). read more

I'll echo some of the other reviewers in that the service here is pretty lousy. I've been to this location a few times and I was never impressed with the service. Their food is decent if you order common things such as wings and burgers, and their fried shrimp is actually pretty good. This place is okay if you want to have an (expesive) beer and watch a game that is hard to find but there are better places nearby. I'd chose Vienna Inn (cheaper beer and better food IMO) or the Hooters (great wings and burgers) in Fairfax off of 29 over Glory Days any time. read more

Love love their roast pork app with sweet potato fries, so yummy. Made a mean pineapple upside down cake martini for me also. This place is always abuzz and the staff always friendly. You're not gonna find the trendy fashionistas here but you will find a real, local crowd of sports and beer lovers, gotta love that. read more

I gave it four stars because noisy bars are not my thing. Otherwise, it was fine. We got here on a Friday at 6:30 and did not have to wait for a table, which was great. By the time we left, however, there was quite a line. We had burgers, tacos, and the special Friday night $9.99 fried codfish. Everything was very good, especially my codfish. Our server was prompt, polite, and pleasant. read more

I've only ordered online through DoorDash, so I haven't actually eaten inside here before. But the food has always been pretty decent in my opinion. I usually get their wings. No complaints read more

Glory Days is a truly excellent place for watching sporting events and hanging out with your family. I always love to try their Glazed Salmon which tastes truly exceptional and have an excellent variety of mouth-watering deserts to choose from. Definitely love this place! Shark Attack Soda is a definitely go for the kids! :) read more

-This Glory Days location made me make the permanent switch from Buffalo Wild Wings (especially that terrible one in Ballston where there is absolutely no free parking) -Best items I've had: steak, Honey Old Bay boneless, snack price Santa Fe Egg Rolls -By far the best reason to go here is the Glory sauce -The customer service is great here - I've never waited more than 15 minutes for my food read more

For a chain type restaurant in a strip mall, this place is a complete positive surprise. Totally kid friendly, they'll even turn something on to distract the kids with, and handed a surprise (to them) birthday party with a smile and a nod. Never had a complaint about the service. The only wtf-moment was when a new waitress once said she didn't know anything about beer. No complaints about any of the food, everything we have tried there has been competent, although there are no standout items either. The wings really are pretty darn good. Not as good as Hard Times Cafe to me, but good enough that deciding which was better really came down to personal preference. Burgers, good. Philly cheese steak ... surprisingly good. Sometimes they do try too hard though - we tried the lobster rolls they had on special once, and the lobster having been overcooked just wrecked it even though they did everything else right with it. read more

One of my girlfriend's favorites so we've been a number of times and to a few different locations. Yes, it's a chain but I've found that there is a nice twist to a lot of their dishes that you'd typically find at a sports bar. I've had the crab dip and it certainly didn't disappoint. Their burgers were also are also very reliable and they have plenty of choices to try. It's definitely worth a visit. A great place to watch a game with plenty of TVs as well as great food! read more

I always enjoy going to Glory Days (Fairfax, Lorton and Burke). Cheese fries are hands down the best in the business! Drinks are always cold unlike other establishments. Staff are usually pretty good. My main complain would be that they need more specialty sauces for chicken wings!!! (like Buffalo Wing Factory) read more

Glory Days has some of the best wings around Fairfax. I'd recommend both the boneless and the bone-in wings with their Glory Sauce. Go on Wednesday for Wing Night and they're only 50 cents a piece, but the place gets packed, so you might have to wait a little longer than usual. They also have cheap appetizers after 9pm which are also pretty good. The service has been good just about every time I've ever been. Great place to get some bar food and catch a game on one of their many TVs. read more

Glory Days Pan Am is my "go to" place whether I want lunch, dinner after soccer, or to watch NFL games on Sunday. GD also is great place to watch EPL games. They will actual change a channel on one of the 30+ TV's if there is something you want to watch. Now for the food. I have had 15+ different items from here, but usually get the Chicken Ranchero Wrap or The Cuban. Sometimes I'll order the boneless wings, or a burger on Monday Burger Night. The food is consistent in presentation, taste, temperature about 90% of the time. I've never had a major problem with service, but sometimes when they are swamped, you do have to have just a bit of patience. Remember, this is "bar type food" in a sports themed restaurant. It is a neighborhood type of place to relax with a cold beer and watch some sports. If you want a fancy, obnoxious, stuffy restaurant....go elsewhere. I won't miss you occupying my seat at Glory Days Pan Am. read more

Another overpriced bar in Fairfax. When will they learn we aren't downtown? Anyways, I had a small tortilla salad which was good but wasn't amazing. Nothing stood out. Also, I had a Yuengling which I swore was a little skunk. The atmosphere was decent and there were a ton of TVs. They do have these cool little pods where you can tune your table sound to a particular TV but half of them didn't work and they were fairly disgusting (sticky, old, etc.) The service was decent and for a bar I guess it was OK but I will not be back anytime soon. read more

My mom is a regular here. For grilled chicken salad! It's more of a restaurant then a sports bar, at least from what I saw. Then again we were there on a weekday at lunch time. But still, it has the layout of a chili's and is in a small suburban shopping center. We had lunch- a grilled chicken sandwich with potatoes for me and- you guessed it- a chicken salad for mom. Mom says its hard to find a place for a good, tasty, reasonably priced chicken salad nearby. Who knew? Nothing to complain about my sandwich. Instead of fries I got redskin potatoes. They are just boiled or bakes redskins with a smattering of parsley or some herb- no butter- very healthy. So if you're looking for a cheap, family-style place nearby with basic food and some healthy options...here ya go. read more

Absolutely, unequivocally unremarkable. Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed. Don't go out of your way, though there's little reason to do so, since these plain, vanilla sports bars are popping up all over the area. It's easy to get to and has plenty of parking. read more

I come to this location often and the food is good but they never have peach cobblers! Today I came in with a group of friends and the first thing I ask our server is if they have peach cobblers. He check and said they did! One of my friends ordered one as his meal. When he came out with the food we asked if they had a good amount of cobblers he said the did. I said "Great! I will definitely want one!" He comes back I ask him to put in the order for the cobbler. He comes back a few minutes later saying there were none left!! I am furious!! I know I didn't formally order the cobbler in the beginning but I clearly stated multiple times that I wanted one. I feel like the least he could have done was given us another dessert for free or not charged me for my shark attack. I won't be coming back. read more

The quality of their food has declined in my opinion. I was unable to finish my sandwich this week. I never want to make a scene so I generally just never go back. I would encourage wait staff to not serve substandard or ill prepared food. And for gods sake hire more people Management. read more

Mostly I'm reviewing their bar. You could just dine there but I don't advise it. Glory Days is a very decent sports bar without much competition nearby. Lots of TVs and portable speakers scattered about. I think the bartenders at this location know what they're doing. Happy hour will get you $1 off drafts (of which there are many) and $2.99 margaritas that are worth about $2.99. So, your tall draft of Coors Light is about $3.50. Even $4.50 outside of happy hour is competitive for a giant glass of domestic in Fairfax. The food never disappoints. Doesn't blow your mind either. read more

Where to start with this one. I guess if I was drinking alcohol I wouldn't of noticed the poor service I was getting there. The quantity of food to price of food seemed to be lacking to. When I arrived the staff was playing football out on the front sidewalk. Must have been a pretty intense game since our waiter went back out to play. We didn't see him again until we needed our check. Pretty sad when a backup waiter has to serve the food. Talking about great team work! read more

Wednesday night was a mad house. Is wing night and place and staff were overwhelmed! Tables all over not bused, service very slow, order not right , fries cold, and felt too bad for staff to complain. Need to hire more servers, and pay attention. Also half the lights in front sign are out; sort of indicative of the state of the restaurant. Poor Glory Days, overworked staff and disappointed customers - manager - please help your restaurant get back to its Glory Days read more

Was in the area visiting a friend. Decided to grab a bite to eat. Chose Glory Days in Pan Am shopping center. Big mistake. To start things off... The person who sat us didn't understand what i was asking. Then our beverages arrived and my friend noticed in her water on the slice of lemon wedge that there was a wavy hair. None of the workers seemed to be happy working there. There was pickles and trash all around the floor. Bathroom was disgusting with paper overflowing trash can all over the place. At this point i wanted to leave. Food took extremely long to finally arrive. Server barely checked if we needed anything such as refills. Will not return again. Recommend you choosing somewhere more clean. Horrible experience read more

Glory Days Grill - Disgusting hair on lemon wedge in water. - Sports Bars Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Glory Days Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

See all

My husband and I had a great experience here on Sunday evening. Our server, a very nice gentleman, waited on us on the patio and he was very polite and accommodating. They even gave us a thing of ice and water for our dog! read more

As far as sports bars go, this place is alright. If you are looking for a crowd out in the 'burbs during Redskin games, Virginia Tech games, and Mason games, you'll find it here. They serve all the bar food one would expect. I wasn't a big fan of the nachos. Really, the only reason I come to Glory Days is for the Glory Wings. This place is not really a wing place, but if you do get wings, get the Glory Wings. I wouldn't bother with anything other than the burgers or wings, or anything you can throw in a deep fryer. The service is hit or miss, because the wait staff is basically college kids or younger. read more

I've been to other glory days and they have been good but this one sucks. The waitress Alisha was rude and disappeared for most of the time. We ordered an appetizer and literally 3 minutes after they brought that out they brought out our entrees. I had the impossible burger which I have had before but this one was burnt and not good. Really disappointed with the food and waitress here. read more

I love glory days but the Burke, Woodbridge and Lorton ones are better. I didn't like anything about this one. Even the cheese fries were off. Customer service was ok. Not bad but not good but then again it was packed so I understand. The steak I had was bad. Had to cut off the outsides to make it editable. The tv arrangement is nice and the bar looked amazing as usual but I rather make the trip out to Burke or Lorton read more

Burgers are still amazing especially on Mon $5 burger night. But everything else is starting to slip. Management needs to take notice It used to be much better read more

Just having left I feel compelled to share our experience. We arrived at 108pm and sat by 110pm. My wife, mother in-law and I ordered our food(I.e a burger, wrap, and lobster roll). I've never experienced a wait that took so long for food while being told "it's almost done""we are playing it now" "im about to bring it out" all being said way before we left. I'm giving 2 stars as they allowed us to leave without owing for the drinks but my god that wait FOLLOWUP: I appreciate the manager reaching out but I rarely visit Fairfax unless it's for my wife's doctors appointments. It was a one off stop as she hadn't eaten and is pregnant and unfortunately had to wait an additional hour to eat. I won't be back read more
