glenn's diner

cleaverly disguised in a name.... i ate there in late may 2010, and i've gotta say that the name "glenn's diner" almost had me thinking of alternate dinner plans. i'm glad i trusted my friend!! being from the east coast, i find myself shying away from seafood in chicago, but glenn made a believer of me. the ciopino was agreatstart, and the scallops were perfect for the main course. the bananas foster was over the top...just awesome. staff and atmosphere make this so much more than a diner... a gem in the ravenswood area and chicagoland for that matter.

this is agreatneighborhood seafood restaurant. it is clean, cute and the food is great.

my favourite is the clam chowder. this is a definite i will return. i never get bored of the food served here. the key lime pie is great. actually all the seafood is good here but those two items i mentioned are extraordinary great.

we had a less than stellar visit last time so tried again.greatservice from tamara! good drinks and very good food.

guy got this one right. this is agreatddd. had the crabby patty. very good fresh. very good. looking forward to going back to have more of what looks like fantastic seafood dishes.

bad news. this place has gone downhill. terrible waiter. terrible manager.

i am a longtime customer of glenn's, but that is now going to change. it used to be agreatneighborhood joint and one that we visited many times over the years. however, the menu has changed numerous times (different rules for when certain dishes are available) and the staff has changed to a bunch of arrogant and rude jerks to be frank. everytime we visit glenn's, the food is different yet no one will admit this. when you ask if something changed with the recipe they look at you like you have 3 heads and seem completely bothered.

best food in the world. their claim to be the "best food in the world" might not make them humble, but it definitely doesn't make them liars either... their bloody mary is one of the best i've ever had, and my date declared their clam chowder to be "orgasmic." the fish is fresh, the menu eclectic and inventive, and the service close to impeccable. be prepared for a wait a bit if you don't have reservations, but have no fear for there is agreatbar down the street where you can grab a drink while you wait, and glenn's will call your cell when your table is ready. definitely a must.

unforgettable experience. i heardgreatthings about glenn's from reviews on the internet so decided to check it out. it seemed very out of the norm and that is right down my alley. i was blown away. it will fulfill your every craving for seafood, fun atmosphere,greatmanager,greatservice- full ofgreatrecommendations, up sold in a very relaxed fun way and created an all aroundgreatexperience. the hostess wasgreataccommodating us with a table being we where about 30 mins. late for our reservation. we will be back! all you can eat king crab legs on tuesday for under 40 bucks will be our next visit.

glenn's... *drool* yum!. ok...yeah so i heard of this place on diners, drive ins, and dives. guy's picks are usually right on...so i dragged my friend there on a friday night. although there was a tiny wait to sit outside (since it was a beautiful evening) there were two seats open at the counter. it's a diner...why not! our waiter was great. i am sorry to say i don't remember his name. but, he recommended agreatwine since they didn't have pinot grigio. i loved the look of the place, too. our seat at the counter gave us agreatview of allll the shelves full of different cereals.
now for the food! although there is a menu, it is more fun to look up and read all the fish descriptions from the huge chalkboards. i was about to order the baramundi after seeing it on the show...but, at the last second i asked the waiter what his favorite fish was and he said-"no doubt, the sturgeon." so, i had to go with it! he was sooooo right! it is topped with a bacon cream sauce...*drool*. thank goodness i ordered when i did. a minute later a "sold out" sign was put on the chalkboard next to the sturgeon. my friend ordered a shrimp po boy and said it was fantastic...said he should have ordered one to go as a late night snack! :)
i can't wait to get back there! if you like fish...glenn's is the place to go!

this was the best fish i have had in chicago. the prices weregreatfor the quality. it's right near the montrose brown line stop so it is very easy to get there. i loved everything about it. i will definately be frequenting this restaurant
