Glenwood Grounds
2906 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh, NC
Crema's Take
“Glenwood Grounds is a beloved gathering spot where the kitchen takes real pride in seasonal specials and thoughtful preparation—think catfish and grits that'll haunt you in the best way, or pepper jack grits croutons that elevate a simple Caesar salad. The vibe strikes that perfect balance between a serious sit-down destination and a relaxed neighborhood hangout with outdoor seating, making it equally at home for a leisurely breakfast with pastries or a memorable dinner that keeps locals coming back year after year.”

I had the best catfish and grits that I have EVER had in my life. This entree was a special, so you won't find it on the main menu... but wow.. just wow! My compliments to the chef!
Food was well prepared. Was offered fresh cracked pepper, but I didn't get to say how much. My dish needed a bit more salt (for me), but there wasn't any on the table nor was it offered. My friend commented about the sausage being changed for the shrimp and grits from Italian sausage to Andouille sausage. While she didn't notice, the waiter rolled his eyes. The chocolate pie was divine, perfection on a plate. My friend enjoyed the bourbon pecan pie.
The food was great I had the parsnip and potato mash which was wonderful, the beet salad with pine nuts and goat cheese is great and the French onion mac and cheese is delightful. My wife had the fried oysters and they were perfect. I give this restaurant a 9.5 out of ten. This food was delicious and the cost was more than fair. Chef Keith
9.18.25 Stopped in at Glenwood Grill Annex to peruse their offerings. I purchased the pan-seared salmon, scalloped potatoes and succotash. After cooking at home, I found the caper-enhanced salmon perfectly cooked and tangy (no need for lemon), the 2 ramkin-sized scalloped potatoes were fluffy and creamy and the succotash with baby butter beans and fresh sliced-from-the- cob corn with red peppers was a taste bud delight. Definitely will return for another helping of the salmon.
Had a lovely dinner as usual. Haven't been here in 5 years and just as good. Food is fresh & delicious. Loved, loved, loved the pepper jack grits croutons in the Southern Caesar salad. It was my husbands birthday & they surprised us with dessert. As I said we haven't been here in 5 years and yet we were treated like neighbors. Talk about Southern hospitality.
