Reviews for Glenn's Cafe in Columbia, MO
Was pleasantly surprised. Very good chicken. The food seems simple but it has a depth that most places lack. Felt like authentic... southern in a nice setting. Will come back Read more

Glenn?s Cafe is tasty, but nothing too special. The portion sizes are about what you expect. It?s a bit pricey compared to the... quality that one would expect. The potatoes lacked seasoning, leading them to tasting flavorless. In general, the food is good,but not amazing. Read more
The cornbread is everything it should be, the crab cakes were amazing. The complimentary champagne, yes please. The ambiance,... staff, drinks and food were all amazing. I will be back! Read more
We were there on Thanksgiving Day, which featured a three course meal with two choices for each course. I had the salad:... delightful, perfect lettuce, tangy dressing, butternut squash, pumpkin seeds, pomegranate seeds, goat cheese. My husband had thesoup: delicious, hot, butternut?maybe just a tiny bit too sweet. I had the acorn squash main course, which sounded good but had*way* too many bell peppers ? it?s all I could taste, even when I picked them out; also one squash half was undercooked and Icouldn?t get my fork through it. My husband had the redfish, which was deliciously spicy and perfectly cooked. His grits neededseasoning, but were fine eaten with the yummy fish. Dessert was so underwhelming: we both had the apple pie. Fantastic flavors,good pastry, but cold and plain. Could have been a perfect 10 if the slices had been cooked a bit more to slightly brown thepastry, and then served hot with maybe a little whipped cream or caramel sauce or something. Overall, we decided a 6 out of 10.The server was really wonderful and the atmosphere and decor were just lovely. We will definitely go back. Read more
Food was great but the service can definitely improve. It was no busy at all and food took a while. Love the atmosphere and the... decor. Love the nice touch of mailing an Original Glenn?s Cafe postcard for you to love ones. That really added to myexperience. I order the soup of the day (beef/potato/ chimichuri) and the Shrimp and grits. I will visit again when in Columbia. Read more
The best part of this brunch was the free splash of champagne. The food itself was surprisingly bad. It looked, sounded, and... smelled good, but it turned out to be dry and overcooked. The breakfast potatoes were dry and underseasoned, the burger pattywas cooked within an inch of its life, the bacon was past crisp and powdery, and the egg was so cooked the yolk was crumbly. Infact, the ONLY thing that wasn't dry was the croissant which has somehow stolen all the grease from the bacon and burger despitethe plate being hot when it arrived. For a $17 breakfast burger I expected more. A McDonald's burger for $17 would have beenbetter value for money. I'm also annoyed you can't substitute the fruit for potatoes even though they are listed as being thesame price on the menu. The service and atmosphere were all fine, and our waitress was perfectly nice, which is why it got asmany starts as it did. Read more
