“We had our wedding day dinner at The Glenwood and I can’t say enough about how special they made the evening. It was a very intimate celebration, just five of us, and they set us up in a cozy private room that felt warm, welcoming, and perfect for the occasion. The hospitality was truly 200 out of 100. Every detail was handled with care, and the staff made us feel like we were the only people in the world that night. I honestly wish we had a place like this down South…nothing compares. The ambiance was elegant but comfortable, and the attention to the little things really hit home. From the lighting to the table settings to the way the service flowed, everything just felt thoughtful and intentional. Shout out to our server, Arden (or Aden, I'm terrible with names!), who was absolutely wonderful the entire evening. And a heartfelt thank you to the hostess who saw our note about it being a wedding dinner and treated us with such warmth and care. it felt like she genuinely celebrated with us. The food was incredible. Every course was delicious, but my favorite part? The dessert tray! They bring out a full tray of beautiful (fake) desserts so you can see and choose exactly what you’re in the mood for. Such a fun and charming touch. The Glenwood made our first dinner as a married couple feel intimate, joyful, and unforgettable. We’ll never forget it.“

“Very good place to eat the staff is very good food is good and you will get the biggest cup of coffee around you have to hold the cup with 2 hands. Jenny the owner is the best around always joking around just a fun place to eat. We were on our way home from celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and went there to have breakfast on 10/8/23 and Jenny gave us our breakfast for free. We were surprised whe we got the bill and it said o owed. A great lady and a great place to eat. We make it there about 3 times a year and would go more if we lived close.“

Biggest reason for this review is the due to how kind the staff were. Interactions with 3 different employees and all of them were very kind and asked if I needed anything. What a refreshing experience. Whoever does the hiring there I applaud you!“

“We really like eating there. We drive there from Ludington. The food has always been good. Except we have noticed last summer the broasted chicken has changed. It's smaller pieces. Maybe they can't help that but, not sure why but the chicken has been way over cooked. The meat is really dry. We hope this gets figured out. It's happened several times now. We'll give it another try. It used to be when you cut into the chicken juice would run out. Man, that was so good. Probably over cooking it because the pieces are smaller... ??“
