Awful service. Food took over an hour to come out while it wasn't busy. Checks never came out until 50 min later. Food was cold. Overall the worst dinning experience I've ever had 1 month later : service is still very slow. Very bad service:( read more

Your run of the mill local sports bar but super enjoyable and not divey. Owner is really nice and the staff is great. We've been several times and never had a negative experience. We've had (and enjoyed): Beef on Weck Bacon Cheeseburger Philly Cheesesteak Triple Cheeseburger (USDA PRIME) Coconut shrimp (yummy) MD crab dip (sooo good) Chowdah Wings (always a great choice. Wish they had more spicy options. hint: ghost pepper) FRIES Basically you can't go wrong with this place and menu. There is something for everyone and you'll all go home happy. They're not the best for large groups on busy nights but other than that, it's a great place. read more

Always stop here after golf...Good food, god atmosphere...staff is friendly...service is great

Serving outside patio and limited indoor seating. Great food and service! So glad this place is open and has good happy hour prices..

Came here for lunch for the first time. I really liked the sports bar/grill atmosphere. We had wings as an appetizer and they were very good. A lot of flavor, and good size. I had the trifecta burger as my meal. The burger was big and loaded with American, cheddar and Swiss cheese. Great quality burger. I would recommend coming here. read more

Glory Days Grill - Trifecta burger - Sports Bars Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

This place is close to our office in Reston and is a local favorite. This is the second time I've come and both times have been fine. I came in around 12:30pm on a Monday and the was sat right away. The place was pretty empty. They have a wide range of food options and it looks like they have specials everyday. Monday's are burgers specials, but I went with a Cheesesteak. The Cheesesteak came with lettuces and tomato's which I did asked them not to put on. The cheese steak came in good time and was served with fries. The cheesesteak was an ok size and filling. Though the bread was not your typical Phily cheesesteak type it was ok. The place has plenty of tables inside and a bar. The theme is local sports and the service was great. It's located in a shopping center and there was plenty of parking. read more

First off, I'm totally a fan of this location because although it's busy, it is nowhere near as ridiculously crazy during game times as the Nutley St location. We were able to show up close to Redskins kick-off time & still get a good table. Plus, pretty much anywhere you sit, you're able to turn your head in multiple directions & see the game. Win. Our experience here started off shaky. We ordered a pitcher of Sangria ($21.99) but when it arrived, it was packed to the brim with ice and not so much alcohol... 2 glasses to be exact. Um, NO! Each glass was $5.99... definitely does not compute in my alcohol loving book! I got the server's attention quickly & explained our dilemma. I think the pitcher spoke volumes. He told us not to worry, he'd take care of it. And that he did! Our first "pitcher" was free & the manager came over to bring us a new one. He apologized and said that we were right to complain & he had spoken to his bar staff. The new pitcher was perrrrrfect in alcohol/ice ratio. 4 glasses of happiness were enjoyed. As for food, during our time there watching the game we ordered 2 appetizers. The first was cheese fries. Hot, plenty of melty cheese, a sprinkle of bacon and tasty ranch dressing (there is a gross ranch, and this place does NOT serve it). The second app ordered was nachos. These were ok, but probably my least favorite in the area. It is composed of mostly chili, very little shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. IMO, it needed more cheese and Glory Days could stand to add a few more ingredients so that it isn't so plain tasting. Our server was a Redskins fan (HTTR!), attentive but not invasive or creepy, and took care of us (complaint included) without ever a hint of attitude. I would definitely come back here again to watch NFL games. read more

Glory Days Grill - Our "pitcher" of Sangria that poured only 2 drinks due to way too much ice! Manager fixed this problem pronto though! - Sports Bars Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Glory Days in Herndon/Reston is only open on Fridays for lunch - open after 4 pm the other days. I like their grilled chicken salad, the lettuce is is a mixture of romaine and iceberg and also has cabbage, carrots, and tomatoes. If you're in the mood for an appetizer the crab dip is also pretty good, but very salty! My friend enjoyed the chicken ranch wrap and it looked good. There are three reasons why I am giving this restaurant three stars instead of four and they are because: - our waitress had an attitude when we asked her to split our check, she never really came back to check on us, and she got both of our orders wrong. - there is a bad stench of cigar/cigarette smoke when you walk in (and I sometimes smoke (trying to quit) so if I think it's bad, then it must be pretty bad, although this place IS a sports bar). - our table was sticky and dirty when we sat down - unaccceptable. read more

Has good sports bar food, as well as attentive servers. Small patio for warm weather only.

Even though it says I have only 1 check-in here, I have been going here on a semi-regular basis from August 2006 to October 2012. It is the greatest sports bar with a suburban neighborhood vibe! For me, the best time of the year to come here is during NFL season. Although it is a Steelers bar, they've always been able to accommodate my request to watch the Chargers. This Glory Days location has always drawn in a good crowd of other team's fans too. The menu has had a positive makeover. Last night, I tried the 10-Spice Chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli & carrots ($12.99) for the first time and my wife had the beef tacos with chips & salsa ($9.29). I get the reviewer's confusion about if this place can be mistaken for a Chuck E Cheese. Last night did have more than its fair share of kids running around. Luckily, that was on the left side of the place (the bar is located on the right side). Even though it won't be as often (since we live in Arlington now), we'll resume returning! read more

And this is why I should NOT base a Glory Days review on only a few visits. I KNOW Glory Days is inconsistent -- when it's good it's really GREAT and when it's bad, it's just AWFUL. OK, so I had a bad (really bad) experience on June 27 and I Yelped about it. A week later, my arm twisted by a friend with $5.50 burger withdrawal twisted my arm to try again. And it was wonderful (well, as wonderful as a sports bar in this price range ever gets). Service was prompt (drinks on the table in under 5 minutes) and our orders came out quickly -- most importantly, the burgers were cooked picture perfect. I ordered rare and got medium rare and my friend ordered medium and got medium well -- what we both actually wanted). The burgers were juicy and tasty; the cheese just melted (not so melted that it had all run down into the bun); and the sides were hot. We were in burger heaven. And our waitress checked back with us regularly and kept the refills coming. So, if you read my three reviews of Glory Days, you'll realize I could have predicted this turn of events. Did I say they were inconsistent? Did I say to check your expectations at the door and just go with the experience and know that (usually) the good triumphs over the awful? OK. So I'm a fan again. read more

I love this place for both eating in and takeout. The service is usually really quick- we've never had to wait a long time to receive our food after ordering. The to-go people are always on top of things, too. We've eaten here a handful of times and haven't had any bad food yet. In fact, the crab dip is to die for! read more

OK, Glory Days is one of our family's favorite places. Great for the kids. Great for dad. I think Mom tolerates it. Glory Days is a chain featuring a bank of TVs surrounding the restaurant. There can be several different sporting events on at one time. Cartoons and news shows are also always on. If not, we request cartoons for the kids. GD is a zoo on game days. Big crowds for Redskins and VaTech. When a game is not on TV, you may find smaller groups in there cheering for their teams--Ohio State, Penn State come to mind. GD has glorious fried foods, of course. Their burgers are good. I tend to get the steak salad or BBQ chicken chopped salad. Ribs, chili are OK. We love their smoothies, when a good bartender is working. read more

I reviewed Glory Days only a few months ago, but since then, my love has only grown, and I feel the need to write an updated review. I've been to Glory Days every Monday for the past 4-5 weeks. My friends and I come for burger night and will usually hang out for a few hours afterwards. One thing I don't like is that they hiked up their Monday Burger special prices--it used to be $5 just a few months ago and now it's $6. Still, for $6 you're getting a great deal. My go-to burger is the Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger. The cheese is so gooey and melty, and the bacon is crisp with the perfect amount of chewy. The burger itself is always juicy and cooked to perfection (I order mine medium). They toast the buns here too so that they're a little crispy, but of course, soft on the inside and hearty enough to sustain the weight and juices of all the other ingredients. The fries are okay--they're a little soggy sometimes. The cornbread is usually really good--fluffy, moist, and perfectly sweet. Mashed potatoes are also a really good option--smooth, creamy, and buttery. My favorite choice in side is the mac and cheese. Glory days has one of the best--if not the best--mac and cheese I've ever had. The cheese saucy is so saucy and creamy like Velveeta, but it doesn't taste as processed like Velveeta. It has a really good, cheesy, flavor (but I would find it hard to believe if there wasn't processed cheese in it). I've never had mac and cheese with a more creamy, smooth, and saucy sauce before. It's so good!! The wings are pretty good--kind of pricey--but you can't go wrong. Nachos are covered in a delicious queso with all the fix-ins. Mozzarella sticks come out hot and crispy with a gooey mozzarella filling and a sweet/salty marinara sauce. The only appetizer I've tried and didn't really like was the cheese fries. Fries were really greasy (and thus, a little soggy) and came with melted cheese on top. I would have preferred a more sauce like consistency like the cheese that comes with the nachos. Also, if you stay late enough (like we do sometimes) 1/2 appetizers are $5 after 9PM. Another great deal! Again, I haven't tried any of the other entrées besides the burgers, and I doubt I ever will since the burgers are so great and the rest of the entrees are likely to be typical chain-restaurant food. What I love most about Glory Days is the service. We've had a waitress named Wendy a few times. She's absolutely wonderful, sweet, caring, attentive, vivacious, everything you would ever expect a great waitress to be. We always come around 7:00PM and have never had a problem with waiting. We also came during the USA vs. Ghana World Cup game and that was a ton of fun as well. The restaurant had so much energy during the whole game and it was exciting to watch the game there rather than at home. Definitely coming again next Monday, and the Monday after that, and the Monday after that, and the Monday after that...... read more

2.5 Stars I got boneless wings to go. They are .60 cents on Wednesdays if you dine in though, so I was kicking myself a little over it. They were okay, not great. I got 12 with two flavors (bourbon and medium buffalo). The bourbon sauce was kinda nasty and too sweet. I coated it over in ranch sauce to change the taste. The buffalo was fine. The wings were pretty small considering they cost me $1 each, but when you eat 12, well, its filling anyways. The texture would have been better if it were a crispy, flash fried crunch on the outside but it wasn't, it was kind of soft. Oh well! read more

Service - it's fast and they bring you what you need, It's a bar, nothing else Menu: here lies the problem, if you want anything other than fried or the usual bar items, you are screwed, it's all about covering everything in cheese or frying it. Burger: dry Cheese: gluten blob the rest: dont remember, Order an adult meal to be split for the kids because it was the only thing on the menu that had vegetables and did not include fries or bread. Was good, they ate it all. read more

Food remains good, but service is sliding on wait times. Wait times are a little better, but still struggles at early happy hour time at the tables read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! My fiancé and I accidentally found this place after we searched and searched for a Chilis. The closest was like 30 minutes from where we needed to be. So a little skeptical, and hungry gave it a shot. I am so happy we did. As soon as you walk in, you are welcomed in with a big smile and a warm hello from the bartender, we sat down at the bar and ordered 2 Miller Lites. Since it was Labor Day and we were not close to a BBQ grill we decided to forget our calorie count and indulge in their burgers. OMG, one of the best burgers I have ever had. It was cooked to perfection. My dear fiancé, didn't speak to me at all as he ate (or I should say devoured) his burger. Service was excellent, the place was CLEAN which makes me very happy. We will definitely be returning. read more

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

The salmon BLT salad was tasty, as were the burger and wings. Wine took forever to arrive both times I ordered some. The patio was pleasant until the traffic picked up: car alarms, motorcycles, loud people, etc. Things were just quieting down when a group with six younger kids arrived, seated separately from their 4 adults. Loud, pounding on tables, and the parents made no effort to settle them down to a restaurant appropriate level. The waiter said there was nothing he could do to quiet them down. I couldn't get out fast enough. It had the makings of a lovely al fresco dinner, but did not live up to it. read more

Favorite casual place to get good food in a good environment. Great for the family and kids. read more

See all

Very convenient place for faster restaurant and watching a game without beer and burger. Family friendly and full of distractions for kiddos so they're not bored while the adults are trying to get in a meal. Takeout can be a little dicey in that if you have any modifications, double check before you leave that they were done. Nothing is more irritating than having to go back. read more

Great food, good prices, however sometimes the quality can drop (still good, but not as great as we've become used to, considering we eat there after work 1-2 times a week). I am a huge fan of their fish on taco Tuesdays, and am there each week, which is what prompted my comment on the food quality varying. Thankfully, even their lowest quality is arguably better than other places, and the level of servers keeps us coming back for an enjoyable time every week! read more

I order a lot online for pickup. Rarely is my order correct. This happened again this evening and I've about had enough in regards to their failure to quality control. Usually I will go back and pick it up without even a sorry or any compensation. Tonight I could not do that and I'm waiting for a refund. Be curious how long or if that goes through. Get your act together. read more

One of my favorite local haunts! Come here if you're lookin' for a good time. Favorite order: grilled chicken sandwich with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle mayo. read more

Okay, maybe I was pushing it with my food choice in a sports bar. I had lunch at about 1:30 pm. The service was great, the place was clean. I chose the Cuban Sandwich which was marked "new" on the menu. I think it needs a little work. The meat was lacking, it should have ham and roasted pork and it did, but very little. The bread was not what it should have been. It seemed like it was in regular white bread when the original sandwich is a cross between white and French; and it should be pressed like a panini. However, it appeared it was prepared like a grilled cheese sandwich. Just my impression. I like Glory Days mostly for their burgers and wings. And of course the beer. The only reason for the "4" rating is because of the Cuban. read more

Glory Days is always decent.. Our server was really cool, had us laughing.. We stopped in for a bite after hitting some golf balls in the hot blazing sun, did I mention that it was hot and blazing?? Grab a couple of cold ones and a salad.. Kicked back got fat and watched the games... read more

Glory Days Grill - Hippy something beer. - Sports Bars Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Was seated and sitting here for 5 minutes. No less than 5 waitstaff standing under the TVs doing nothing. Only four tables filled. Got about 60 seconds before we walk out. And Carrie has come to the rescue. Just got in shift and came right over. Very nice. Apologized repeatedly for the peanut gallery not doing any work. Carrie is an outstanding server. Extremely polite, enthusiastic and attentive. read more

Glory Days as a concept is definitely A-OK. It's the kind of establishment where you can depend on "your game" being shown on one of the many, many TVs, in the kind of environment where the beer flows inexpensively and the food served is your typical burger/wings/fried food/nachos fare. It's a fine place for casual sports teams (like adult softball teams) to meet up after a game for some beers. It's nice for high school or college age kids to hang out and get their fill of milkshakes, burgers, nachos, and a casual, fun sporty atmosphere. If you stick to that as your expectation and desired outcome, I don't think you'll be too disappointed. If you seek hard enough, you may find some "healthier" items as well. Personally, I love hot wings, but not the fried/bone-in type. I'm a fiend for that sauce! Fortunately, Glory Days does offer a basket of 8 grilled/boneless/skinless "wings" with your choice of sauce and the typical celery/dressing accoutrements. I do wish their "hot" sauce were hotter, but I have an elevated level of spice fiending. They also have a nice selection of turkey and bison burgers, plus a veggie burger that isn't too terribly salty. Their french fries are okay, but I wish they weren't the coated/crunchy style (again, it's a personal preference). On a side note, we tried their chili for an appetizer the last time we were in, and neither my husband nor I weren't feeling too well afterwards - it was the only common food we had consumed that day. Hopefully just bad luck/a fluke. In conclusion - a good place to stop if you have a large, loud group, want to watch sports, have children in tow, enjoy a cheap burger/beer, or some some of all of the above. Also, if you aren't privy to any of the above-mentioned highlights of Glory Days, and you find yourself there, hunt and peck the menu carefully for the non-fried, non-breaded, non-dressing-covered items. They're there. read more

Glory Days catered chili/ cornbread with all the fixings for a school event. Max was a pleasure to work with. He sent out a proposal and gave me a very reasonable price. He also delivered all the food on time and helped with set up. Above all the chili was delicious and enjoyed by all! Thanks again. Will definitely be calling Glory Days again. read more

Been coming here for years, neighborhood restaurant; food and service is consistently good; however, if you come for the sports you might be disappointed. The owner is clearly a Steelers fan and the staff isn't empowered to control the TV's. Steelers game is on both big screens as well as many of the smaller TV's. So if you're a fan of any other team your pretty much outta luck. Time to find another sports bar for Sunday NFL. read more

Great service but horrible food. I want to support this place because they really do give back to the community but the food is just not good. It is edible but just consistently misses the mark of what simple bar food should taste like. read more

The staff is super friendly and I love the burgers! HAPPY HOUR is always chill Ill be back!

This review is 100% about the impossible burger. Unfortunately, we have tried it several times here and even after specific instructions not to overcook it - it was served to us charred, dry and no taste. For a 15.00 burger this is absurd. Founding Farmers does it way better - just a tip for my fellow vegetarians or vegans who like the impossible burger. read more

My husband and I have enjoyed coming to this location until recently. We sat outside and our waiter did not check on us regularly and we had to ask other staff for things we needed. We also waited awhile for our beer and salad. The salad came out with the hot entree. The waiter spilled the beer when serving us and did not offer us a new beer. We then got the check and noticed we got charged for items we did not order which made us wait even longer to fix the mistake. This experience was unlike any other in years past and we now wonder if management and staff have recently changed. read more

Been coming to this location for 10+ years, but service has gotten very bad in past few months. Went for Father's Day with wife and son for dinner and to watch US Open. Greeter did not seem to understand English...at least in the sense he literally did not respond to our request for a booth or to put the Open on the largest TV....just stared at us blankly and walked away. (This was in addition to their inexplicably having a "talk show" on the largest screen in the house on FATHER'S DAY...this is a SPORTS BAR, correct?) Downhill from there as we sat for at least 10 minutes before our server "Leah" came ambling out of the back of the restaurant and came to a stop at our table. No "sorry to keep you waiting", just a flat "Do you want to order drinks?". My wife even gave her a second chance by saying we were ready to submit our full order as we had been waiting for quite awhile. All we got was "OK". This was followed by my son and I receiving Beef-on-Weck's on what had to be the most stale kummelweck roll I have ever had (let me add I am FROM BUFFALO, where the sandwich was invented, and have eaten hundreds of them over the course of my life). Worse, she failed to include the needed horseradish sauce with either....no apology (AGAIN!), then took her sweet time bringing to us while our (stale) sandwiches got nice and cold. "Leah" became (slightly) more animated when it was time to deliver the check and get her tip (of course). NOW THE BEST PART... As we were leaving a staffer on the patio asked if we had enjoyed our meal and received our "Father's Day gift card". Turns out they were giving "$10 Off Next Meal" cards to all the Dad's...which "Leah-the-Slouth" apparently didn't feel like getting for us. DEAR GLORY DAYS: FATHER'S DAY SHOULD BE AMONG THE FEW DAYS OF THE YEAR YOU DON'T SCREW UP. If your staff don't want to be there and/or don't know how to do their job, get new staff. If the manager can't get this done, get a new manager. AND PUT SPORTS ON THE FRIGG'IN MAIN SCREEN. read more

Glory Days is a decent place to go to grab a quick bite and not miss your favorite sporting event on TV. Food is fine - you can save your "cheers" for your favorite team rather than what's on your plate. This trip, two of us chose items off the seasonal menu. I tried the ravioli which was tasty but had entirely too much sauce on it. Not what I was expecting based on the description. After you let the sauce drip off - the ravioli was good. The sandwich - meat, fries, slaw - was pretty good. The third person in our group had wings and a salad - can't usually go wrong with that. Wait staff has been better in the past than we had on this visit. This waiter could care less that we were there (until he brought the check and then he was suddenly animated and wished us a great evening). Overall, food is okay, usually quick, can catch your favorite game on tv and make it home at a decent hour. Great nighborhood hangout....usually see someone you know every time you go! read more

Nice food but it is ruined by the smoking. There is a non smoking section but the restaurants really just one big room so its impossible to contain the smoke. You can't bring kids here because of the smoke. If you are a smoker , I'm sure you'll enjoy the place. I don't. read more

I really like this place a lot. Chill atmosphere, good food, reasonable prices, friendly staff what more could you ask for? I highly recommend the Glory Wings or the Glory Burger. I eat here pretty regularly and both are pretty good. I give it a solid 3 out 5. Give it a shot. Let me know what you think? read more

Glory Days Grill - The Glory Burger is pretty solid. - Sports Bars Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Glory Days Grill is good for regular sports bar food and drink. Good prices, service and friendiness. Recommend for casual dining and sports. There are pretty good TVs on three walls, so you usually can see something. I did not finish review for this date and have been back more recently. Now, they have a printed, glossy, color menu and it looks like they never change the food available. Before, there were specials. I did enjoy a turkey BLT at the bar a couple of weeks ago, along with a tall Miller Lite. Another time I had sliders and did not realize they were not hot ones. I think they were ham and cheese or something. I can make better at home. This place is usually crowded in the evening meal time, which is OK since it means they will be around for awhile. Unfortunately, it means that it is one of the very few acceptable restaurants nearby. The shopping center has a good Chinese restaurant and there is always 5 Guys Hamburgers, Subway, Starbucks, Papa John's Pizza. I really wish that a much better restaurant would come into the shopping center. There is a good sized building available that was once shared by a now closed art frame store and Block Buster. Maybe someone could modify it enough to be used as a restaurant? read more
