Glenwood's - Stanford Grill: Columbia

Went in for my dad's birthday dinner at this place and it was amazing !! First off we had the lovely Claire she was dynamite and easy on the eyes too, nevertheless the food was good I had the rainbow trout recommended by our lovely waitress Claire and Mac and cheese with spinach. The cornbread was moist and soft and had a ton of flavor. My family sure did enjoy our time at Glenwoods and since it was my first time I'm def going back. A nice touch to the night was the live music which made the meal that much more enjoyable. Soft jazz music plays in the background while you sip your drink and enjoy life and the night. I couldn't ask for a better ending to my dad's birthday celebrate. Please go and check them out !!

Came here with a friend that I haven't seen in about 15 years. He recommended it. Found parking right away. We were seated quickly. Our waiter was awesome. He gave us some good recommendations. He was always checking on us and filling our drinks. We both order the clam chowder. Then we got a chicken and spaghetti in a different sauce than was offered, again, recommended by the waiter. I order the prime rib. Both dishes were very good. Everything was better than expected. The restaurant was nicely designed. Great for a date. Food was good. Service was excellent. Prices were reasonable. I would recommend this place

From the moment we arrived, everything was excellent. We walked in on a Sunday during brunch hours and were seated immediately just the two of us. The service was outstanding. As soon as we sat down, our server came right over. Everything, from the drinks and appetizers to the main courses was served quickly and efficiently. We had the chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes, the chicken pot pie, and meatballs as appetizers—all incredibly flavorful and delicious. The drinks were a solid 10/10. To top it off, there was live piano music, which added a lovely touch to the atmosphere. Huge shoutout to our amazing server, Abby C

Glenwoods is ran so efficiently. The service is second to no one. Never an empty glass, dirty plate, looking for someone if anything is needed. Perfect. And our waitress Trish was delightful. Perfect dinner for any night of the week. Very reasonable prices.

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. At the time of our arrival there was no wait time for a table. We were there on a Saturday afternoon. Steven R. was our waiter and he did a fantastic job. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone to celebrate any occasion :)

My husband and I have come to this location multiple times. Service is always excellent and the atmosphere is so warm and cozy. They have live entertainment playing not but overbearing with noise, its blends in very nicely with the atmosphere and you can still have conversations with your guests. Our food was so delicious as always. The margaritas are lovely!

Been here several times and they never disappointed. Used to be called Stanford grill. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Salads, steaks, desserts, that rattlesnake pasta. Yum!

Having been to Glenwood’s a few times in the last year or so, I thought it was time to write a review. We were glad we made a reservation as the restaurant was full at dinner time. Despite the crowd, we enjoyed pleasant conversation and felt well taken care of – the service was prompt and helpful. The portions are quite substantial, so you will not go away hungry. We each enjoyed a cocktail which was potent yet refreshing. My dining companion and I shared the cornbread and Brussels sprouts appetizers – probably our least favorite items as the usually stellar cornbread was dry and somewhat overdone; the Brussels while flavorful were also a tad well done for our liking. For entrees, I had the tenderloin filet, and my dining partner enjoyed the pork shank which was one of several daily specials. Both were cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. The generous sides of mashed potatoes and spinach were a welcome accompaniment. For dessert we shared the Key lime pie and peanut butter cookie cheesecake – both were delicious and there was plenty to take home for a late-night snack. Glenwood’s knows exactly what it is and plays the part perfectly - a family night out, a business dinner, or a date night all will feel comfortable here. After several recent Columbia area dining disasters, we chose Glenwood’s to right the ship and were glad we did.

We went at about 4 o’clock on a weekday, and there was plenty of seating available. Our waiter Michael was friendly and quick. We realized after looking at the menu that this place is basically Copper Canyon, but with a different name. We actually did not love Copper Canyon, but we really liked Glenwood’s. The spinach and artichoke dip, and the calamari were both really good. The fried chicken salad was great. I got a side of ranch in addition to the dressing that came with the salad, and the ranch was really good and tasted homemade. Their sweet potato fries are some of my favorite that I’ve ever had, and they were really good with the homemade ranch. We also got the strip steak special, with bacon mac & cheese, which was great- but the picture didn’t come out unfortunately.

If I could only have 1 crabcake in life, Glenwoods would be where I would want to go!! I visited Glenwood's for my first time, while on a trip and let me say that they have the BEST CRABCAKES!!! I was teetering between the salmon and crabcakes but since I was in Maryland, home of crabcakes, I figured that I couldn't go wrong... and I didn't! They were made of 100% jumbo lump crab meat... no fillers or breading to take away from the product. The crab patties were thick and were perfectly complimented by the sauce that lightly draped my crabcakes. I received my plate and it was so delectable that I forgot to take pictures before gobbling down a full crabcake and half of my potatoes!! And please don't get me started on the house salad! I forgot to make my traditional dressing change; and I'm so grateful that I did! The house salad had a perfect blend of sweetness and crunch because it boasted both the sweetness of the dressing and carrots with the crunch of nuts and fresh, homemade croutons. I think this is one of the best salads I've had in my life! I also amended my meal to order the mashed potatoes, which were also extremely fresh and were clearly made by hand. And did I mention the hot skillet cornbread??? Then I had the nerve to order the lemonade drink that had gin, cucumber and mint!! It was so refreshing yet it had a bit of an unexpected kick to it! As Will Ferrell started on Old School, it's so good when it touches your lips! While this was my first time there, it seems as if you can't go wrong with anything that you order from there!! Our serving team was also very attentive and eager to respond to requests. We came directly from the airport and it was about 4pm, so I didn't feel as odd since I was dressed down. But I would highly recommend dressing up because it is a classy restaurant. And I guess they've gone through a name change because our plates and the marquee on the roadside said Stanford but the name atop the building said Glenwoods. One thing that was cool was their area out front that has flowers. It was a nice touch and feels calming and homely for those who may have to wait outside. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I can't wait to return, especially if someone else is paying! 😆 Although it's well worth the money!
