Dining
Like its cultural heritage, Glendale offers a diverse selection of dining opportunities. There are several notable restaurants. Here are just a few. The Acapulco Mexican Restaurant offers an authentic Mexican menu for diners. The Capri Lounge in Glendale offers live jazz and blues every weekend, in addition to food, games and drinks. For authentic Italian cuisine in a very European style dining atmosphere, try Far Niente. The restaurant offers fresh ingredients, fantastic food, and amazing fish. Elena Greek Armenian Cuisine dishes up Greek and Armenian cooking including lamb and chicken kebabs, grape leaves, lentil soup, stuffed eggplant and hummus.
If you are looking for a cool place for hot jazz, Jax Bar and Grill is legendary. Jazz is what Jax is all about, but the food keeps folks coming back to dine and relax with the soulful, sweet tunes that have made this place famous. Steaks, seafood specials, crab cakes, and an assortment of pastas give the customer a good range of both price and selection. Visiting Jax Grill, you'll find a bar and grille that serves American dishes with a menu dominated by seafood and steaks.
Glendale was also the starting point for two fast food chains, Bob's Big Boy and Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors.
