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 fromseafoodin chicago, but glenn made a believer of me. the ciopino was a great start, 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 a great neighborhoodseafoodrestaurant. 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 theseafoodis good here but those two items i mentioned are extraordinary great.

guy got this one right. this is a great ddd. had the crabby patty. very good fresh. very good. looking forward to going back to have more of what looks like fantasticseafooddishes.

if i’ve said it once, i’ve said it 1,000 times – i love brunch. luckily, chicago is a city that takes brunch just as seriously as i do. this weekend, i stopped into glenn’s diner in ravenswood for a late sunday brunch. although glenn’s is known for being aseafoodhouse, their breakfast menu is also top notch. glenn’s is a quaint, little restaurant boasting only about 10-15 tables total – i definitely recommend that you make a reservation – that’s located very conveniently just steps off of the brown line.

if your goal is to eat so many crab legs that you have a legitimate concern about iodine poisoning afterwards, glenn's diner on tuesday nights is for you. sam and i got some reservations not too long ago and stopped by.  inside you'll see their menu chalkboard and there are so many fish choices, you'll definitely find something you'll want to try.  i happen to not be too interested in crab legs, sometimes they can be a struggle if the shells are being difficult, so i got the soft shell crab dinner.  sam got the unlimited king crab legs and once they came i was pretty jealous.  these were massive.  and cracking them looked like a breeze. with the amount of high quality meat you get, i think it was well worth the market price, and our server kept offering to bring out extra legs so glenn's is not stingy when it comes to the all your can eat aspect of dinner.  when looking to satisfy aseafoodcraving, check glenn's diner out.

don't let the word "diner" fool you. this place is an excellentseafoodhouse! blackboard fish specials change daily and are all outstanding. all you can eat alaskan king crab legs on tuesdays. all you can eat shrimp on thursdays. super helpful, friendly staff. patio. good wine choices and the option to byob for a measly $5. i say this one is a winner, folks!

noted for being on diners, drive-ins and dives, glen's is one of the classiest diners in the area:)  reservations can be made by calling them in advance because they can get pretty crowded on popular weekend nights or tuesdays when they have their all-you-can-eat crab special!

ordering a bowl of cereal and having a full breakfast menu all day is no surprise when this place has diner in the title.  however, their freshly prepared blackboard fish specials is a whole other thing!  an amazing thing at that:)  you can choose from many freshly preparedseafoodspecials that are listed on their famous blackboards... some of the ones i have loved are pretzel encrusted walleye and applejack encrusted white fish!

the menu has enoughseafoodselections to eat three squares and not repeat. enough cereal choices to do the same (check out the cereal wall!). clam chowder to die for, a lobster roll that's the real deal and dessert that will have you wanting someone to roll you to your car. go to this place and go again. the cousins only had a quick lunch but will be returning for dinner and brunch.

bestseafoodin chicago. i'm originally from boston and love good seafood. glenn's has the bestseafoodin the city. i have been going there for years (since glenn left davis st. fish market) and have never been disappointed. the sturgeon, mussels and crab cakes are tremendous. the place is small and they serve liquor, but only charge a $5 corkage fee if you bring your own. you will need reservations now that they have been on tv. being on tv is good for business, but bad for long time customers as it's not unknown anymore. most items on the menu are under $22
