Glenwood

Excellent food, fair prices, awesome hash browns, and gluten-free friendly

The Glenwood on Willamette has been around for years & years. The one thing you can ALWAYS rely on, is the best quality ingredients & the greatest quality of service. Today my Son had the Montana omelette with free side of bacon & a free gluten free roll. My Daughter in Law had the Monterey Omelette, with a side of Kale & fresh pineapple. The Kale was steamed to perfection, she only needed to add salt & pepper to her liking. She said her Omelette was the best Omelette she's ever had. I helped her with her huge chunk of Pineapple & it was super fresh, tasted like we were on an island & had just cracked it open. My Son raved about his Montana Omelette, saying it was huge, eggs cooked perfectly, the generous fillings were feta cheese, garlic, sauteed mushrooms & that the spinach, was the freshest he's had in any Omelette. He opted to substitute Feta cheese, for the cheddar cheese listed. He loved his gluten free roll & after he slathered it in butter & jam, he was literally drooling, once he had a bite. Lol. He loves high quality tastiness. I was going to get the European scramble at first, but I haven't had pancakes in forever! So, I opted for the Pancake Sampler. It came with 3 giant pancakes! Oh my gosh, I guess I should have read the menu better. I couldn't begin to eat them all. The pancakes were that amazing consistency that you just can't get when making them at home. Not sweet either, which made me happy. So many of the chain restaurants pancakes, are sugary sweet, yuck. My 2 pieces of bacon were crispy, just as I asked & they did my eggs correctly!!! Thats big points in my book, since I always order my eggs, over hard, pop the yolks. I ate one pancake with just butter, because thats what I do. Then I ate half of a second pancake, by putting my egg on top, adding heavy pepper, light salt & drowning it all with Maple Syrup. I have been doing this since childhood & I love how the flavers mingle so well. I will be full until tomorrow! The sweet & GORGEOUS lady who seated us, made a pot of decaf, brought us menus & water, her name is Ginger & she has the most wonderful presence, sunshiny aura & a face that smiles through her mask. Our server Josh B. was very attentive, enjoyed helping us & was quick with anything we needed. He was also expert, at not making us wait, between decaf refills. He brought Almond milk at my kids request & cream for me. Plenty of sugar in the raw too. He was adorable & very pleasant. If you want excellent everything at a restaurant, please consider The Glenwood. Its been a constant in Eugene & theres good reason for that. They have a tent with heaters, for outdoor dining, if we still continue in this Covid seating environment. The kids are going back for Steak & Ahi Tuna dinners soon!!
