Glass Palace — Local services in Big Sioux Township

Do. Not. Go. Here. My husband and I were feeling nostalgic and so we decided to come here for brunch this Sunday. We hadn't been to the restaurant in more than 10 years and remembered that their brunch was pretty good. Time has not been good to this place. Walked in and immediately noticed there was a certain smell, like a mustiness. We were right by the door so thought maybe it was just because of the humidity, location by the door and of where we were seated. We ordered some diet cokes and when we got them my husband was immediately asking me if I thought it tasted weird. I took a sip of my soda and it was very flat and extremely syrup-y. Our friend showed up and ordered a coke and so we waited to see if maybe it was just an issue with the Diet Coke line. His Coke was also the same, so we waited for our server (who was extremely nice, the only good experience of the whole visit) and said there may be something wrong with your soda fountain. They go, "I'm sorry about that, but unfortunately that's just way it is after a certain amount of time during the day. Once it's like this there isn't really any coming back from it. Would you like something else?" Um, what? So this tells me it's not a new issue and the management or owners do not care to fix it??? We got water for replacements. We decided to do the brunch instead of ordering off the menu. Unfortunately, it all went down hill from here. The food was not appealing and the buffet line wasn't taken care of. Not to mention the fact that when you walked over certain spots in the floor you felt the only thing keeping you from falling into the floor was the rug. The musty smell was not isolated to the location by the door, it was through out the entire restaurant. We will never be back and to be honest no one should go back. It doesn't seem...

Lets give people wondering about this place some more Information. A lovely little diner. Very much like the mom and pop restaurants of many people's youth. A full Sunday Buffett for breakfast and even breakfast mimosas. Good breakfast served all day and plenty of parking. A few video machines in back to take up the time if you're waiting for a table to open up. Staff is very attentive and for once in my life.... a breakfast where they properly butter the toast! Many little things that people would over look when they drive by, but by all means a place to stop for yourself or a family meal. No tap beers but an okay selection of all your normal bottles. For an afternoon dinner and drink or a moring pick me up a great place to go...

i recently ordered a take out order from here. first, i was given the wrong food to come home and find out it was the wrong food. i tried calling several times, which they kept ending the call. so i had to come back, and i showed them the food the i had to rummage through to find out it wasn’t mine, then i would think i could keep it, right? no, a server named lisa decided to throw it away in front of me. what a waste of food, especially after giving me the wrong order she could’ve at least given it back to me. i won’t be ordering from here again. lisa was rude and i could tell she wasn’t serving her customers very good either, since a guy had to come up and ask for...
