What's not to love?!

This tiny little breakfast joint is incredible! I am something of a eggs benedict connoisseur, and these are by far the BEST. The hollandaise is absolute perfection! You may have to wait a bit because this place is pretty popular, but you'll have a delicious cup of coffee in the meantime. A word to the wise...call ahead and place your name on the list...you won't wait as long. What you will do is enjoy a DELICOUS breakfast in a small and quant restaurant. Enjoy!

• Pros: GREAT food, great atmosphere, good stuff
• Cons: none...unless you hate deliciousness.

I had to give it 1 star because there was no 0 star rating

Ridicuosly long wait for dirty tables, chairs, menus - and how long has that jam been in the jar on the table? The service was HORRIBLE by everyone, our food was cold and bland when we FINALLY received it. Had to beg for our check so we could get out of there!

I have no idea why anyone would give them their service - I know I never will again. I am assuming that this was a great dive breakfast joint in the past, but no longer.

• Pros: I never have to go there again
• Cons: Horrible service, cold and bland food, dirty

Sigh

I have signed up solely to give this place a bad review. Let me preface: I used to love Glo's. On a lovely summer day, this place is great. The hour wait isn't so bad when you can bask in the sun. And the food here really is fantastic. I would also like to say that I have worked in restaurants for five years, instilling in me a great empathy and patience with servers, cooks, and restaurant staff. I understand how stressful and awful it can be. I totally get it.

Having said that, the servers at Glo's have absolutely no idea what they are doing. I'm throwing in the towel on this restaurant. I give up. So Glo's, if someone comes up to put their name on the list and asks how long of a wait, here's a tip: look at the list, look at the room of full of tables, and tell them the truth. If there is at least two turns worth of people on the list before them, TELL THEM THE TRUTH. I was told 30 minutes to 40 minutes. I waited patiently. Then, after fifty minutes, I asked how much longer. They told me there was one table before me. I asked them how much longer they think that would be and the server, irritably and condescendingly, explains to me, "Well that all depends on how long people take to eat." YES, I KNOW THIS. However it also depends on how long YOU take to take their order, make their food and give them their check. I guess that's hard to gauge when you are standing outside talking to friends. YOU work here so YOU know how long it will be. I am trying not to presume, so I am asking you. I ask again. She says twenty minutes. Oh, okay, so the first time, when you said 35 minutes, you meant an hour and ten minutes. Thank you, so much, for that clarification. Thank you for stringing me along. If you had told me the truth the first time, I wouldn't have even bothered waiting. But if you just slowly add on more time every twenty minutes or so, I'll keep waiting, won't I?

Glo's, screw you. You aren't worth it.

• Pros: good breakfast
• Cons: everything else
