Glenwood Drive-In is a local favorite that has been operating for almost 70 years. This classic old-school drive-in serves hot dogs, hamburgers, and seafood, with crispy fries and fresh, in-house onion rings being particular highlights. The staff is friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all customers. While some dishes may not be amazing by any standard, the overall quality of the food is delicious. Prices may be higher than expected, but many customers believe the experience is worth it. The restaurant offers a no-frills vibe, but the staff and food make up for it. It has a fun atmosphere with both inside and outside seating, and features an attached ice cream shoppe that is kid-friendly, encouraging visitors to enjoy a treat next door at Kelly's. Parking is easy, with pull-up convenience, and the flat ground and large doors make it wheelchair accessible. Customers appreciate the very good hot dogs, including footlong Hummels, and the variety of foods offered, such as lobster rolls and whole body clams. The restaurant is a charming summer spot with friendly staff, and while some dishes like chili may not be as popular, the overall experience remains enjoyable. For a unique twist, customers can order the Fringe, a delightful combination of onion rings and french fries.
