I work security and was given the best cookies in return for my assistance. They were fresh and delicious. The delivery driver was really professional and friendly. Thanks a bunch!

Took my sister here for lunch and this was some of the BEST vegan food I've ever had! Jo Ann is a master in the kitchen and her daughter Kiana is such a kind and friendly server! I couldn't be happier finding this place and can't wait to come back!

Excellent menu, very impressive staff, and a good selection of Vegan and Vegetarian dishes. Hours are 11AM-2PM M-F. This is a bright spot for Downtown Irving. The majority of the business is catering.

The salad bar is filled with delicious items, and comes with rolls and two different soups. The tomato bisque soup is supreme! You can easily fill up on the salad bar alone, but Glory House also offers two hot entrees and sides for a small additional charge, and can take it To Go if you prefer. Everything I've ever eaten there is delicious! Highly recommended!
