We took my goddaughter to lunch for her birthday and chose this restaurant because none of us had been yet. Our server was very attentive and asked us if we had dined there before. When we said no, within 10 minutes the manager brought us over a free appetizer to try which was extremely nice. We ordered a second appetizer and each ordered a different meal. We thought that every single thing we tried was delicious! I had a salad and the portion was huge - which is exactly how I like it. I would recommend this place for a family outing or even fun night with friends as it seemed they had drink specials and a large selection of beverages to choose from. We had a great time and the birthday girl was happy!

Glory Days Review: A Snapshot of What’s Broken in Casual Dining
Despite outstanding service from our server Jennifer—who was friendly, attentive, and the highlight of the visit—the overall experience at Glory Days was disappointing.
The food was mediocre at best, lacking the kind of flavor or presentation that would make me want to return. The menu is bloated with too many options, which seems to dilute the kitchen’s ability to excel at any one thing. A more focused menu with a few standout dishes could elevate both quality and consistency.
The atmosphere felt tired and uninspired—TV screens scattered across the walls in a half-hearted attempt to be a sports bar, and no distinct identity to set it apart from countless other casual chains.
Restrooms were dirty, with the classic sticky tile-and-grout floors.
The best part of the lunch? A great conversation with Tom Ryan, VP of Business Development for Pasco County Economic Development. Tom’s commercial real estate background gives him an unmatched perspective on helping companies relocate or expand in the Tampa Bay area. Executives exploring business growth in Florida would be wise to connect with him.
In short, Glory Days reminds me of why casual dining is in decline. Great service alone can’t overcome poor food, a lack of focus, and neglected details. With the right vision and operational shifts, there’s still time to turn it around—but it starts with knowing what you want to be famous for.

This time we did take out! I was with my grandchildren and wanted to treat them with something special! So we used an app to get them exactly what they wanted. It was a great success and we had a wonderful time. We did a pick-up trip to shorten our wait.

Ribs were excellent after a long day of riding the Florida Coast to Coast trail. Half rack was plenty for me. Had the BBQ Sauce with a side of their Glory sauce to kick it a bit. Was worth it! Bartender was a sweet heart as well. Tell em Dave sent ya!
