There’s no such thing as an unsatisfied breakfast customer at Glenwood Restaurant. Unless of course you loved the food so much that you’re disappointed there aren’t any seconds. It’s doubtful you’ll be saying that though, since they’re more than generous with their portions.
Located near the University of Oregon campus on Alder St., Glenwood Restaurant has been a cornerstone of good food at a reasonable price for students for 35 years. Where Glenwood shines its brightest is during breakfast time where they’ll scramble up any type of food you can think of with their fresh and locally grown eggs.
Take for example the Novia Scotia Scramble which is scrambled eggs with fresh smoked salmon, green onions and a bit of cream cheese with a side of delicious home red potatoes. The Novia Scotia Scramble is a hometown favorite according to Ignacio Rodriguez, a waiter who’s been serving at Glenwood for over 10 years.
“Our big breakfast rush comes around 9 a.m. or so, and it’s usually students finishing up their first class or just before they go out to start,” Rodriguez said. “The omelette is probably one of our other biggest sellers in the morning time.”
Glenwood’s Continental Omlette comes with diced ham, bacon, onions and bell pepper stuffed inside two eggs, and it also comes with a side of home potatoes.
“Convenience plays a large role in making my decision on where to eat,” UO Senior Shannon Hartley said. “Glendwood is right off campus and it makes it a really convenient spot to eat at. I also love the college atmosphere and fair prices.”
Outside of Glenwood being an ideal place to get some food before you start off the day, the restaurant also has a private outside seating area that works as a great place just to sit back and relax with your friends.
“In the spring me and some buddies head out to Glenwood and sit outside in their small outdoor eating area which is super nice,” UO junior Conor McGough said. “I’ve only been there a few times but each time I’ve been totally satisfied with the service and selection. It’s also a great spot to take the parents when they come visit.”
Glenwood’s doors open at 7 a.m., but if you’re not a morning person don’t worry. Glenwood’s open till 9 p.m., and you’re able to order breakfast items all day.
