Historic restaurant in Manchester, Connecticut, United States / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John and Bernice Rieg opened the first Shady Glen store near the Manchester/Bolton town line in 1948 and a second store in the Manchester Parkade shopping center in 1965.[2] The second location closed in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Shady Glen is locally famous for its homemade-style ice cream, signature Bernice Original "winged" cheeseburger, and vintage 1950s style diner and service.
