Conveniently located
near campus, the cozy
Glenwood Restaurant is best
known among university
students as a popular
weekend breakfast spot.
However, we decided to see
if the rest of their menu
measured up and headed to
the Glenwood for dinner.
Although the restaurant
appears quaint from the
outside, the Glenwood actually offers two levels of seating
and an outdoor patio. Entering the restaurant, we were
impressed by the warm, friendly atmosphere and hospitable
staff. Both our waitress and busboy were very attentive and
quite knowledgeable about the menu.
Once seated, we were overwhelmed with the wide variety
of menu options. Choices included all-day breakfast, gour
met sandwiches and salads, burritos, pasta dishes, and even
Asian-style cuisine. There are also plenty of choices for vege
tarians, and options to leave meat off of or to substitute tofu
in many dishes.
After a thorough examination of the menu, Keri ordered
the San Pedro Burrito ($6.75) and I ordered the Mushroom
and Grilled Chicken Pasta ($8.75). Given the choice of soup
or salad with our meals, we both opted for the Glenwood’s
signature tomato cheese soup. It arrived piping hot, and we
quickly understood why the delicious soup is a favorite
among Glenwood regulars. The creamy soup leaves every
diner wanting more and eager for their main dish.
Next up were our entrees. Keri’s giant burrito included
chicken, avocado, sour cream, tomatoes, chilies and more.
Served with a side of salsa, the burrito was tasty and more
than enough for one person. Keri was pleased with the fresh
mix of vegetables and warm tortilla that encompassed the
burrito. My pasta dish was covered in Alfredo sauce, full of
mushrooms, and topped with sliced grilled chicken. Served
with two dinner rolls, this entree is also not for those with a
small appetite. The sauce had great flavor and was a perfect
consistency with just the right amount of parmesan cheese
on top. We both took home sizeable portions and agreed that
dishes are well priced for the amount of food served.
Glenwood Restaurant is a great place for students to come
for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Open seven days a week, the
variety of menu options, reasonable prices, and friendly serv
ice make it a popular destination with something everyone
can enjoy.
