Glenn's Diner: Restaurant 36


Glenn's Diner has a great city feel. Located under the El tracks at the Montrose stop, it appears to be just one of zillions of diners strewn across the city. But once you're in, you realize that this is anything but a greasy spoon diner. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Glenn's features seafood, ribs, and steak entrees and provides a great city feel. We went on a freezing cold snowy night and were immediately warmed by the friendly atmosphere, the great music, and the excellent ribs which featured a unique tasting vinegar (?) based sauce. The night we went (Wednesday) was all you can eat ribs night, but we'd like to go back and try out some of the many tempting seafood options. As an added bonus, being right there on the El line, there are no worries about having to drive home after imbibing. I don't know if Glenn's lives up to its billing ("best food in the world") but it was pretty good food and a great atmosphere. We'll be back to check out the fish soon!
