For those who have been waiting patiently for the new Glory Days Grill to open in the location previously occupied by Lee Roy Selmon’s off Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd. at 17808 Doña Michelle Dr. (just north of I-75), your wait is about over.
As you read this, according to a spokesperson for the first-ever Glory Days to open in Florida (there are more than 20 locations on the eastern seaboard, including 15 in Virginia, five in Maryland and one in West Virginia), the 220-seat (inside, with seating for 50 more outside on a covered patio) sports grill promises to have plenty of TVs, great food and a packed bar area.
The restaurant will kick things off with a charity fund raiser at the restaurant on Monday, April 7, but should be open to the public the same week, even though the completely revamped restaurant still looked very much like a construction site when we sent to press on March 22 (photo).
Even so, we’re excited about the possibilities for Glory Days. We couldn’t reach managing partner James Hamilton the day we went to press, but the spokesperson we talked to at the Glory Days hiring office in the adjacent Big Bear Crossing shopping center (next to Pier One Imports) said that although the restaurant is, “a traditional sports bar & grill, the menu will surprise you. It’s not as upscale, food-wise, as Selmon’s (which is owned by the same parent company, MVP Holdings), but there really is something for everyone on it and the prices are very fair. This location will have a slightly different menu, to serve the needs of the more upscale surrounding community.”
More than 100 employees had already been hired at our press time, with only a few slots left. For more info about employment, the fund-raising event or the actual opening day, call 513-7550. Or, you can visit GloryDaysGrill.com.
