on Citysearch Sep 21, 2003I heard about the fried cheese and was a little worried until I tasted it. YUMMY! Five years later I still yearn for the tasty treat. The homemade pumpkin ice cream was also a nice autumn treat. Burgers and fries are... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 21, 2003Shady Glen isn't "retro" exactly... it just hasn't changed since it was established after World war II. This is good news for diners, because it makes for a truly authentic "old-fashioned" dining experience. That,... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 17, 2002Shady Glen drapes there burgers with cheese and fry's the overlapping cheese on the grill, making a golden crown of tasty krisp cheese. Best in the country. (more)

on Citysearch Dec 11, 2002How anyone can say that Shady Glen serves the best hamburgers in Hartford is beyond me. It's probably because they don't get out very much. The first and only time I went to Shady Glen I thought I was at a rest stop for... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 13, 2002This is my childhood favorite. Don't knock it. Admit that the cheese is the best-tasting thing you've ever had! This place is classic, straight from the '50's, and unless you hate diners, ice cream, cheeseburgers,... (more)
