(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — A Ravenswood restaurant that has occupied a prominent spot on Montrose Avenue for nearly two decades is packing it in at the end of the month.

“We've really enjoyed all the friends that have been a part of this 17-year adventure,” Glenn’s Diner said in a posting on Facebook this week. “The time has come for us to say goodbye and wish everyone the very best.”

July 31 will be the last day for the restaurant, 1820 W. Montrose, the message said.

Manager Debbie Edick, who is married to the owner, says lingering effects of the pandemic and rising prices helped influence the decision to hang things up, on their own terms. She said they will miss their loyal customers.

The eclectic diner along the Brown Line is known for its fish dishes and other specialties, even offering the comfort food of cereal as an option.
