Glenn's Diner

I love the huge complete meal Tuesday - Friday 11-5 called the Fresh Catch.  You have a choice of soup of the day or clam chowder or salad AND a choice of fish (usually catfish or trout or something elsei have never ordered) with vegetables and potatoes for about $16 per person.  Clean washrooms, cute blackboards for menu supplements.  Cereal is available all day.  Breakfast is available until at least 3 PM during the week.  Street parking is fairly easy on Montrose.  It's right next to the Montrose station of the brown(?) line.
I highly recommend Glenn's.

I have never heard of this place!  It was so cute, almost like a beach vacation reastaurant you would stumble across.  The menu is written in chalk on the walls and the portions are huge.  I had the appetizer portion of the Muscles and it was enough to make me full that night, and the next day for lunch! They were delicious and our waiter was friendly and attentive.  When they brought me my leftovers, the fellow gave me two different options for reheating them so I would enjoy them again and not ruin them by reheating them in the microwave, etc.  We had reservations for 8 p.m. on a Saturday night and were seated immediately.  I think this place is adorable and would definitely go back.

Thank goodness we had a reservation. Glenn's is small and busy. We were there for weekend breakfast so I tried the shrimp and cheese grits with bacon and ham. Wow! Their idea of bacon as a topper is not a few crumbles -- it's large pieces. The shrimp portion was also generous. The sauce over the whole thing was great, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe even a bit too much. I would have liked to taste the grits more. But don't get me wrong--I would order this again. The dish came with two eggs or there was an option to not have eggs. I assumed the eggs were incorporated into the dish somehow so kept them in my order. But they were served on a separate plate and were just basic eggs; I would leave them out next time. Atmosphere is friendly and the location is right next to a Brown Line stop.
