This restaurant specializes in traditional Southern comfort food, with a menu that highlights hearty, homemade dishes crafted with genuine care and flavor.

The standout item, the Glenny Plate, is a true testament to soulful cooking—generous portions of tender meats paired with Southern staples like collard greens and okra, each bite rich with authentic seasoning.

The warmth of the owner and staff elevates the experience, making every guest feel like family.

Homemade desserts deserve a mention, too. Weekly-changing cobblers, cakes, and pies provide a sweet finish, often reminding guests of cherished family recipes. The caramel and German chocolate cakes are frequent favorites, delivering rich layers of flavor and nostalgia.

Enjoyed daily menu items including delicious ham hocks, baked chicken, cheeseburger, corn bread, fried corn, and pound cake. Ms. Glen took great care of us and the only reason I gave it a 4 in atmosphere is because the decor is simple and could use more pieces! Come on down to a Taste of Glenny if you're passing through and looking for a soul food find. It was a great foody experience with a local feel, earning every one of the 5 stars.

Was looking for somewhere close to my location to get lunch. Found this place, and I'm glad I came! Cheeseburger was thick and juicy...the owner was very courteous and helped me make the best decision. I will be coming back!

We had a wonderful meal here after visiting Graceland. Glenny's greens are the best I've ever had. It was like being at your favorite auntie's house for love-filled comfort food. Delicious and fresh. Glenny was very kind and welcoming. This place is worth a return trip to Memphis.

Miss Glenny was a pleasure to get to know. I flew into Memphis from Texas. A Tase of Glenny was the first place we stopped to eat. The wingz were unique and very good. The green’s were seasoned to perfection and a hearty serving. And that Caramel Cake was to die for. The next day I stopped in for fish, spaghetti, coleslaw and fries. And of course more cake. Do yourself a favor and stop by and enjoy the food and loves

Y'all I am no good now, I had the Smothered Turkey wing, Black eyed peas, collard greens, a cornbread muffin and peach cobbler for dessert, now I'm sitting here full as a tic. You need to go and see Ms. Glenny at 972 East Brooks Rd and get you some good eating!

We stopped here by chance looking for a place for lunch before going to Graceland. The BEST LUNCH we have had in a very long time. Location is a safe area and the restaurant is very clean. The owner and staff are the best of southern charm. You could not ask for a better lunch. Thank you.

Miss Glenny is just lovely. Worth the stop just to meet her and say hello. The food is excellent. The breading on the fried chicken is light and crispy and there isn’t a soggy green to be found in the house. For true southern hospitality, Miss Glennys is the place to eat.
