• The waiter Kyle will ignore you. He took our order and never came back until I asked a busboy where he was.The lobster roll is just a lobster salad on bread. The shrimp po boy is smothered in mayo.

• Food isn't bad but my party and I were accused of sharing plates when we clearly had two entrees. We were the only two people of color and were being watched like a hawk. Will not be returning.

  by Rhonda L

  by Elaina B.

  
  

• Coming from San Francisco food was OK. Unfortunately my stomach was sick all day after having their Cioppino for lunch :(. My girlfriend's potato cake was bitter and has raw potatoes.

  by Andrew S.

• First time in Ravenswood and I wouldn't have chosen a "diner" but I'm glad I went along with it! Unassuming, casual spot with fresh seafood and respectable wine list.

  by Charmin

  
  

• Come as often as you can. Excellent seafood at great prices. Indulge in a cup of the clam chowder!

  by Abby M.

  
  

• Since Glenn's serves breakfast anytime, that means you can get a side of pancakes anytime; break the traditional rules of dining and get some with your dinner (or for dessert)!

  by Jake S.

  
  

• For $10 for A crab cake, I'm not quite sure I'll get it again from the menu but everything else was superb. Spinach salad was really good. Simple. It's the dressing. Kudos to the chef! Fresh seafood.

• Service, food, portions and drinks are all phenomenal.

  by Robert R.

  
  

• Crab legs were delish. Service sucked! The entire staff was rude. All you can eat nights- an 18% gratuity is automatically added. Not worth it when service his so unbelievably bad. I will not be back!

  by Xandrea R.

• This place is famous for breakfast (our favourite meal) as well as for their seafood - don't miss out on the clam chowder.

  by Topshop

  
  

• Salads, grilled sandwiches and enormous omelettes, all made with fresh veggies and no greasy-spoon feel, are what keeps us (and Mayor Rahm, who counts this among one of his favorites) coming back.

  by Rakesh M.

  
  

• Try the cioppino from our 100 Best list: Among the reasons people flock to the place is this classic San Francisco dish: a spicy broth sporting a rotating cast of fish, sweet shrimp & tender mussels.

  by Time Out Chicago

  
  

• The bacon mushroom sherry sauce on the scallops is the best

  by Eric H.

  
  

• The meatloaf sandwich is glorious. Messy, cheesy, delicious. And whatever you get, ask for a potato pancake on the side.

  by Rand D.

  
  

• Although it sounds like street food, get the Lobster roll with a side of asparagus. It's expensive but 'lick the plate after for fallen off bits' good.

  by Di
