Voted #1 Hot Dog in CT by Connecticut Magazine!

Glenwood Drive-In has been a family-run business for over 65 years. The Stone family took over ownership in 1955, when Rocky Stone purchased the drive-in after working as a Tip-Top salesman and deliveryman. Under Rocky's leadership, the drive-in expanded its hours and menu offerings. Upon Rocky's passing in 1960, his son Frank took over and continued to grow the business, expanding both the menu and the physical building. Today, Glenwood Drive-In is a beloved institution in Hamden, Connecticut.

Glenwood is proud of its commitment to high-quality food. Our hamburgers are now made with fresh certified Angus beef patties, and we only use the best ingredients in all of our menu offerings. We've won numerous awards for our hot dogs, lobster rolls, and homemade onion rings, and have been recognized by Connecticut magazine as having the best hot dogs in the state.

Our handmade onion rings are sliced, breaded, and fried to perfection, while our lobster rolls are made with 100% fresh lobster meat sourced from Canada. These menu items, along with our other offerings, have made Glenwood a beloved destination for generations of customers.

The Stone family continues to play a role in the drive-in's success, with Frank's children now involved in the business. Frank's daughter Kelly has even opened an award-winning ice cream parlor, Kelly's Cone Connection, that's attached to Glenwood and has been serving customers for over 27 years.
