Burger

When a place is walk-up only, cash only, and has been around for over 50 years, you know it's gonna be good. Glenn's burger is classic diner burger. Grilled on a flat top, steamed bun, with everything you need and nothing you don't. You'll want to wash that burger down with one of Glenn's famous shakes or malts. Glenn's is open for breakfast too, in case you need a fix first thing in the morning. We won't judge. Neither will Dolly Parton. You might catch her in line at Glenn's when she is in town for MerleFest.
