Most Disliked
Some patrons note that Old Glory has limited dinner service, primarily focusing on breakfast and lunch, which can be inconvenient for those hoping to enjoy a full day of dining options. With the diner closing at 2 PM, late afternoon and evening visitors miss out on the delicious offerings. Additionally, the intimate size of the diner can lead to crowding, especially on weekends, which may result in longer wait times during peak hours.
Certain reviews mention that, while the service is generally attentive, busy periods can lead to a slight dip in speed. Nonetheless, the cozy atmosphere and great food often outweigh these minor drawbacks.

Great little place and a lovely drive up from i-40, cross the Cumberland River. Breakfast and lunch only, closes at around 2pm. Excellent prices - got a full breakfast with coffee for under $12. Small little homey diner where everyone knows everyone. Fresh food, cooked perfectly. Quick service. Highly recommend!
