Good country/home cooking place to eat. We have heard they have good breakfast but we were there for lunch this time. Been a while since I have visited but it was as good as I remember. I had country fried steak and it was really good. You get plenty to eat too! My wife had catfish and said it was good also. We will be back. :)
Review Source:Our group of 5 found this little Southern style restaurant to be a little jewel. Â We were in the mountains trying desperately to get away from the big chain restaurants and the pretentious and pompous uptown Atlanta restaurants. Â We wanted some Southern cooking with a smile to go with it, and we found it. Â The food was very good, and the manager, Brandi, and another server, Brenda, were right on the spot with everything we wanted. Â Some people will laugh at this, but not everyone can cook pinto beans. Â They can, and they do. Â That is just a little insight into their ability to flavor the food correctly. Â It is not fancy, but we did not want fancy. Â I wish that I had seen the salad bar before I ordered. Â It was filled with everything you can imagine. Â We even saw the workers chopping up the lettuce and the other ingredients. How refreshing! Â Not from a bag. Â Try it if you like Southern style food. Â We will go again when we go back to the north Georgia mountains.
Review Source:I love love LOVE Glenda's. Â They have the best biscuits I've ever had outside my kitchen. Â They are buttery, crispy, flaky perfection. Â A chicken biscuit from Glenda's rivals Chick-fil-A any day. Â I also love the bacon and egg biscuit.
My hubby and I like to go here for breakfast, bring the laptop, and peruse the internet while watching the locals. Â If you dine in for breakfast, expect awesome plates of food. Â I love their hash browns in the morning. Â
Lunch and dinner are just as good. Â From hamburger steak to fried okra, all your favorite country foods are here and they are delish. Â The staff at Glenda's will become family to you if you go often enough and they are so friendly and eager to please.
Definitely better than McDonald's, Burger King, or Zaxby's, the only other restaurants on that street. Â Skip these places and go to Glenda's! Â They even have a drive through so there is no excuse!
Ahem. When I saw the reviews of this place, I felt obligated to speedily verify the claims of Southern authenticity. It's not right unless it feels right. I mean, how would it feel to eat fried chicken with my hands while sitting under a chandelier at a white linen berobed table surrounded by waitstaff wearing white gloves, for Pete's sake? "Pearson, please degrease my fingers. There's a good fellow. Pip. Pip. Cheerio." Â (shudder) The goods for Southern country dining are all here, plastic tablecloths, well worn utensils and all. I am a fan of corn-on-the-cob, lima beans, turnip greens, good bread (biscuits AND cornbread), full flavored tomato slices, and nonreconstituted mashed potatoes. My expectations of good fried chicken are way up there, but these kind folks did pretty well, just not Aunt Mildred class well. Oh, lest I forget, the iced tea is heavy and sweet. I felt right at home on a Friday night with a dining room full of folks who filled the parking lot with pickups and sedans and said grace before they dug in. Amen, brother.
Review Source:Well - we just finished eating dinner at Glenda's - this is about the fifth or sixth time I've been here.
Awesome.
Great service - great food - great prices. Â It's not fancy. Â It's just good people and good food. Â My wife and I ate here for under twenty bucks - where else can you do that on a Friday night unless it's fast food or pizza?
We both had the fried chicken fingers - combine that with the honey mustard sauce they give you - very, very good. Â Throw in some mashed potatoes and green beans - mix in some sweet tea...ahhhhhh
I have to travel to and thru Cleveland quite often to see customers - I try my best to plan the trips around mealtime!
Good stuff! They have a drive-thru as well. Pretty large menu including hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, etc., along with plates which come with a choice of two sides. Seafood choices such as fried or grilled tilapia (which is quite good) and butterfly or popcorn shrimp available. Service was good, it is a cute little diner, and they have a pretty well-stocked salad bar to boot. They also serve breakfast.
Review Source:My country girl spidey sense tickled...."Stop. Eat. It'll be better than good." Â
As I pulled over to park, my L.A. bred companion scoped the situation. Â Cinder block building. Â Gravel parking lot. Â WTF written all over his face, he whined, "Why are we stopping at this shithole? Â I am SO not eating here." Â
As I pondered possible responses I quickly surmised that country girl spidey sense cannot be explained in less than half an hour. Â I was hungry so a simple "Fool, I'm driving. Â We'll eat wherever I want," would have to do. Â
As Paris Hilton with a penis flounced in the door behind me, I knew I'd found a real gem. Â My eyes beheld plastic table cloths, fake flowers and homemade deserts sitting in glass cake dishes by the cash register. Â Though I'm a fan of neither, the sight of "chicken livers" and "hot links" on the menu made little hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Â I ordered sweet tea with confidence, knowing it would send me into a diabetic coma. Â
And for the next three days, we ate ourselves silly at Glenda's. Â Real hamburgers and bacon cheeseburgers were topped with savory tomatoes that seemed to be fresh from someones backyard. Â Fried shrimp, beef tips, country fried steak, chili cheese fries, orange crush cake, chocolate pound cake, Mississippi mud cake--everything was amazing. Â
Glenda is a real person, really back there cooking most every day. Â She makes desserts at home after hours. Â She gives you a pile of food and doesn't charge nearly enough. Â And she employs fast friendly servers who don't bullshit around with your food. Â
Glenda, will you marry me?
Glenda's is one of those increasingly rare places that deserve "so good it makes me wanna slap my momma" status. Â In fact, it's so good I'd slap my daddy, my granny, my brother and anyone else within striking distance too
