MoGlo: Dining @ Sam’s Morning Glory Diner


It’s true what they say. There ain’t no cookin’ like your momma’s cookin’. The next best thing however, is the cookin’ at Sam’s Morning Glory Diner. A morning at MoGlo guarantees some delicious and filling home made dishes in a warm hand-painted yellow and blue space. Watch the staff cook up your breakfast as you sit at the bar in front of the semi-open kitchen or eat with your friends in one of their cozy booths.
Morning Glory makes virtually everything from scratch. Their jam, slightly smoky ketchup, buttery biscuits… you name it. The food is sure to please. The pancakes are fluffy and sweet and the banana-mango stuffed French toast and breakfast pizza are of epic proportions. If you like eggs order a frittata with any fixins you like, although the smoked salmon, goat cheese and spinach one is hard to beat.
The one downside to this homey spot is the wait for weekend brunch. The line starts early and usually entails at least a 20-minute wait in their outdoor patio area. Beat the line by arriving early or stop by during the week. They serve their brunch menu daily as well as a scrumptious lunch including classics like grilled cheese and turkey meatloaf SAM-wiches and tomato soup. You can also get more updated fare like a Grilled Ahi Tuna Blt. And don’t forget to save room for a slice of homemade pie!
