Burgers, wings, fish & shrimp, and a tiki patio that's been the neighborhood hangout since 1993 โ plus the wall where regulars have hung their own "glory days" photos for over three decades.
Dick and Nancy Brown opened Glory Days in 1993 โ before that, the space was known as the Bavarian Room. Early regulars Art Ballou and Vern Olsen helped shape the standards behind the restaurant's signature hamburgers, still made with Certified Angus Beef today.
The tradition that gives the place its name: customers have brought in photos of their own "glory days" since the early years, and those photos still paper the walls. Owner Dick Brown has called Lakewood "the best city in the U.S.A." and backs it up with regular fundraising for local nonprofits.

Since the early years, regulars have brought in photos from their own "glory days" โ team photos, old jerseys, big moments โ and Glory Days hangs them right on the wall. It's exactly the kind of detail that turns a neighborhood grill into a Lakewood institution.
