Glowing – Glo’s

Glo’s was actually plan B on Saturday around noon. I had heard it was popular, so the Black Knight indulged me and we drove across town to wait 45 minutes for a table. The restaurant is tiny, so we had to wait outside, which can be somewhat unpleasant if you’re not prepared, but we got coffee at Starbucks and wandered around Goodwill.

Glo's - pumpkin french toast

pumpkin French toast – made of pumpkin bread served with pecans and whip cream stuffed inside, it didn’t quite have as much pumpkin flavor as I would have liked, but it still quite tasty

Glo's - lox eggs benedict

Lox eggs benedict – a different take on two of my favorite brunch foods combined, the hollandaise was a little on the tart side – maybe because of the tomatoes, but I think that helped cut some of the richness of the sauce, well poached eggs with a nice runny yolk, but very firm and thick egg whites (nit picking – it’s diner food), and hash browns to boot!

Overall, it’s a good diner breakfast with some creative options and fun seasonal specials. It’s not a leisurely brunch and expect service to be a bit harried. The Black Knight also noted that this is one of the best places for fresh squeezed orange juice with lots of pulp.

SUMMARY
Overall: happily ever after
Highlights: orange juice, hash browns
Footnotes: you can call ahead of time to put your name on the list, it is crowded and busy, so expect to wait for a table and service
