Glenn's Cafe - Columbia

I've never had anything but great food and service at Glenn's at any time of day, but I can't recommend their breakfast highly enough. Just delicious. Specifically the chicken-fried chicken, and the shrimp and grits. Have mercy. I was fortunate to grow up eating authentic southern cooking (not something I say lightly), and these dishes are easily as legit as anything you'll find this far north. Outside of breakfast, their gumbo is totally on point: big portions of seafood, including big fat oysters that you typically don't get in average gumbos. For lunch, I like to get their black bean fritter appetizer and dip the fritters in the gumbo. I could go on.

The KC Strip Steak was to die for, it completely melted in my mouth. And I do not like fresh green beans but theirs were prepared amazingly! If I could afford it, I'd eat there all the time!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful brunch here. Food was great, **** Mary was the best I 've ever had, and the staff was excellent. The manager, Tom, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed to enjoy our dining experience. I highly recommend Glenn 's Cafe to those who are seeking a pleasurable dining experience away from the 'college scene ' in downtown Columbia. Five stars!

I am from Sacramento CA I was visiting Columbia on my cross country road trip and my wife said we have eat here Tried the chicken fried steak The best I have ever eaten !

First time in the latest greatest reincarnation of Glenn's Cafe. Noticed the Chicken Fried Chicken and had to try it. Mashed potatoes and asparagus for sides. Stepping back, the waiter was exceptionally well versed and presented himself and the specials very well. Back to the food exceeded my expectations! Overall, I'll be back and I do recommend Glenn's Cafe.
