We continue to be regulars are Greenwood Grill. Located in Glenview off Glenview Road, it is a diner with great breakfast/brunches, lunch, and dinner. The service has always been outstanding. They know us there and greet us when we come in, and if our usual table is available, they seat us there. Their prices are very reasonable, and the food is consistently good, as is the service. I generally go with my elderly mother who lives not too far from the Grill. She usually orders something simple. I try to select different things on the menu when I'm there, but if I get anything more regularly, it would be their taco dinner. But I've had breakfasts and various lunches there. We've never been there for dinner. If you have not tried the Greenwood Grill, give it a try! read more

Greenwood Grill is a local Mexican/diner that offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This place seems to be pretty popular with the locals. Their menu is pretty extensive, offering breakfast plates, omelettes, skillets, pancakes, sandwiches, soups, salads, and entrees, as well as a Mexican menu. We came here for a later breakfast, and ordered: +a breakfast burrito - opted for the steak, and this came with eggs, potatoes, cheese, green peppers, and onions - definitely filling, and good with the red hot sauce that they had +a chicken tamale - slightly coagulated and the masa was slightly dried out; the chicken itself was seasoned well +black coffee The only thing was that I wished the cook had worn gloves when preparing the food. This is definitely a family- owned & -operated business; there was only one server, but the service, surprisingly, wasn't lacking. They have a handful of seating inside as well as some patio seating. A few spots are available on the front and to the right side of the building. +friendly service +parking available read more

From the incredibly delicious tacos to the best churros we've ever had, we can't wait to come back and try more of their amazing food! Service was also fantastic with a family feel that can't be beat!!! read more

Happy I have an immune system to counter the effects of cook making my salad with his bare hands! I did see him briefly rinse his hands after playing with his phone to cook another meal. On the menu creamy garlic dressing was listed but nope, they don't have it. The ranch was one the worst I have had, totally tasted like out of a can. The server acted as if we were if no consequence, no personality or friendliness at all. When it came time to pay, you run the charge yourself on the counter while twisting your body so not to hit the diners in the booth situated next to counter. So sad used to love this place with the old owners read more

So this place is a Mexican restaurant in disguise. A classic greasy spoon with Mexican flare. The pozole is amazing. Chilaquiles are also very good add chicken tingan and they are over the top. Service is always good and friendly. I only go on weekends so can't comment on weekday servers. read more

Hubby and I celebrated buying a new dryer by getting some lunch here. From the outside it looked very small but it was larger once you get inside. Very neighborhood-y. Asked a staff member how long they have been around and I was told more than 30 years. Looks like they have quite a following with the locals. It was very busy! Hubby got the cheeseburger and I got the turkey club. I thought my turkey club was quite good and I would not hesitate to order it again. Tony said that he wished the cheeseburger came with more toppings like pickle but he said it was definitely a satisfactory cheeseburger. I will rate this place a very solid four. It's not fancy but it is a great option if you're just looking for a quick meal. Looked like they serve breakfast until 3pm and it is now open for dinner. read more

Pretty solid place. They've got your standard diner/grill meals more so breakfast/brunch, you can also get Mexican food such as tacos and burritos. I have been a couple times around 10-11 and thought it was fast, service was good as well. They have seating outside and a nice amount inside for maybe 35 - 40 people. I'll go back I'm sure. read more

I don't visit often but the food was great. It's like traveling back in time. Very old fashioned decor which I love. I think they would do great if they moved to an area where they are more visible. read more

I am all for supporting local businesses that is why I am glad that Greenwood Grill reopened after it closed during the Covid pandemic. I used to have breakfast here and always liked the busy and friendly vibe. They served basic breakfast dishes, nothing special but I always left satisfied. My daughter and I have been wanting to try this place again, having heard that they now also serve Mexican dishes. We came in on a Saturday around 11 am and there were a couple of tables occupied. Once we got inside, there was a blonde woman by the cashier who looked at us, then turned around. Awkward. We waited for a couple of minutes but nobody greeted nor welcomed us so we sat ourselves in a booth. After a couple of minutes, I flagged down a server and asked if we were supposed to get the menus or order at the counter. He came back and gave us the menus and glasses of water. My daughter tried the STEAK BREAKFAST BURRITO which was full of potatoes inside. We opened up the burrito and tried finding actual steak because there were barely any meat. I just had the DEUCES WILD which was good and basic. Our server was pleasant but we had to flag him down for coffee, to go boxes, and the bill. It was one of the longest times I have spent on having breakfast at a diner. The place was practically empty to begin with. The couple of women staff (the blonde woman and I guess the new owner) were walking around, passed our table several times, greeting and chatting with other customers, or just talking to each other. Not even once, were we acknowledged, greeted, nor asked if we needed anything. In other words, we were completely ignored. I guess maybe because we were not considered "regulars" that's why we did not get the same great service as what the other reviewers did. While my daughter and I were eating our dishes, we vowed never to come back again. We were very disappointed, especially since we also wanted to try their tacos for dinner too. That is not going to happen. The two stars were for the guys preparing the dishes. They were working efficiently, as the customers can see them due to the open kitchen lay out. Other than the cooks' efforts, I cannot give any compliments to the rest of our experience here. read more

A solid citizen of Breakfast Nation. Strangely, it as though three separate people are responsible for the restaurant (one for the kitchen, one for the dining area's design, and another chooses the soundtrack). It all seems to work, however. Hearty portions and fresh ingredients. Decent coffee, too. If you wanted to practice your Spanish, you probably could. read more

So happy to have Greenwood grill down the street from us. It's a nice family run business with lots of solid food options. We usually carry out breakfast from here but tried the tacos for dinner tonight. They offer different kinds of meat fillings and toppings. We had a variety of tacos and they did not disappoint! Even our picky kids devoured them. They were hot, fresh and generous with the meat. The home made hot sauces were so so so good too. And to top off the meal, the flan was *chef's kiss*. The owner and her son are so friendly too. We will be back! read more

In 2025 - FORGET IT. Extremely expensive for what it is. Breakfast of 2 eggs, hash-browns, ham, toast and coffee = $18.43!! This is for breakfast at a small diner-not a ritzy restaurant. Not going back. read more

We really wanted to love this place or at least like it. Interior was quaint, but unfortunately it was one of the worst dining experiences in a long time. We understand service can be slow on a busy day, but the difference is it felt like we were an inconvenience being there. Nobody seemed to care. Not a single hello or thank you. Zero hospitality. On top of that, food was subpar. I was eager to try the Mexican offerings with new ownership, but options at breakfast are limited. The chilaquiles were literally mush. The chips were disintegrated in a sloppy green sauce and indiscernible. No flavor. The chorizo skillet was nothing special. Not once did anyone check up on us the entirety of the meal. We had to chase someone down for everything: getting a seat, getting a menu, getting waters, asking a question, requesting the check. We gave this place a try but won't need to come back. read more

This place looks brand new... and yet it is 60 years old? This has a diner mixed with Mexican vibe. You come in and are told to seat yourself. The bring over the menu and ask what you'd like for a drink. This is definitely a casual place. The server is friendly and knowledgeable about the restaurant's history, the menu items, and he genuinely wants to make sure your experience goes well. The flowers on the table are a nice touch. I ordered my regular ham and cheese omelette with hash browns and a side of corned beef hash. The omelette was American grill style (flat eggs browned slightly on the outside and folded over). Not my favorite but liked by many. The ham was fine. There wasn't anything amazing about the omelette. The corned beef hash was fine. Likely out of a can. But then there is the hash browns... yes! Seasoned hash browns! Finally! I would go here just for the hash browns. The price is good. There was a lot of food involved and it was less than I would normally pay going to a chain breakfast. Overall, this is a decent breakfast. read more

OK so this is a little hole in the wall spot that used to be owned by somebody else. During Covid it was taken over by a Hispanic woman who added guacamole, tacos etc. to the menu. Even the chips for the guacamole are homemade! They came to the table warm from the oven. This is a beloved neighborhood spot that now I believe is even better than it was before. She really cares about her customers and there are a lot of regulars. To sit inside they have put up plastic in between each booth and table. read more

Delicious food! Had the veggie burrito and was the best EVER!. Churros, served warm ALSO best I've ever had! What will I do when I return to Florida next week???? Thanks! read more

This is my new favorite diner, everything about the place worked. The egg-white Greek omelette was substantial and had the right mix of cheese and spinach, the two chicken tacos with corn tortillas made Mexican style were outstanding, and the ambiance was exactly how a diner should feel. The pricing is incredibly inexpensive, especially given the portion sizes. This little gem has a nondescript exterior, it's easy not to notice. But don't let the pedestrian exterior fool you, this breakfast/lunch place is worth a visit. read more

Friendly service, great breakfast. We ate here three mornings in a row when traveling through, and enjoyed it!

My husband and I recently started going to Greenwood Grill since we moved close to it. We absolutely love it and have been going regularly. I LOVE their Huevos Rancheros, with red or green, they're both delicious. My husband enjoys the eggs & corned beef hash. We usually share a tamale and they're excellent. I can't wait to try everything on the menu! Really friendly warm people who work here and the owner is a doll. read more

One of the worst experiences for Mother's Day breakfast. They looked short staffed which I can understand but instead of being apologetic the servers were rude and pushy. We never received menus (had to get it ourselves) or water. No one came to help us so we were about to walk out when Natasha finally came in to help. The food was average and overpriced and took forever to get. We ordered a side of sausage which looked like was forgotten and when I asked Natasha she blamed the kitchen staff. What was supposed to be a nice Mother's Day breakfast, ended up everyone being irritated and mad including the whole restaurant staff. I saw waiters mad at cooks and vice versa. What a complete +%{*{% show. Never again read more

Over the summer of 2023, I was diagnosed with oral pharyngeal cancer. I had the right side of my mouth reconstructed. It was difficult for me to swallow and to open my mouth. Eating took a very long time, sometimes almost 2 hours. I frequented Greenwood Grill and explained my situation. They were incredibly caring and allowed me to substitute side dishes that I could swallow. Their tuna melt is absolutely delicious. They allowed me to substitute French fries with cottage cheese or refried beans. They never once rushed me and they were always incredibly kind. Now that I am able to eat normally, I am a regular patron. It has been my experience that the staff has always been VERY nice, polite, accommodating and always friendly. The food is good especially the skirt steak. Their tacos are delicious and their breakfast burritos are really good. It is a family owned grill and the wait staff has always been welcoming. I understand that sometimes when things get busy service can be a bit slow but for the most part the staff is very efficient. My husband and I love their food and we always enjoy talking with Verenice the owner. I encourage everyone to try them out. I find their Mexican food to be really good. I have never had "mushy" food there. It is a very laid back and casual atmosphere which I happen to like. It is very down to Earth. Thanks to Greenwood Grill for making my life more pleasant.

What a gem!! Had lunch there today and it was a delight. Warm and welcoming, prompt service and fantastic food. Almost skipped the hash browns and am so glad I changed my mind and got them. Wow! Amazing omelet as well. Coming back soon with the entire family! read more

We were in the area looking for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon and found this place on yelp. Located in a strip mall with not great signage, but easy to find. We walked in and there were 3 other parties waiting to be seated. The diner is small and most tables were filled. Our first impression was a little chaotic, people waiting, no real acknowledgement by the staff and the staff all running in different directions helping customers. Once we were seated things changed. We were immediately taken care of. My husband had steak tacos and I had a taco salad. The waiter suggested my husband try their hot sauce and it was very spicy and hot. Both were very good. The taco salad was one of the best I had it. The lettuce was so fresh and crisp. Often times taco salad lettuce is wilted and not crisp. This is definitely a diner a diner, but the best part was watching the cook keep up with all the orders. The kitchen is open and I honestly was mesmerized watching him flip eggs, make omelets, hash browns and gigantic club sandwiches. Their breakfast options looked amazing, many with a Mexican flair. Definitely will keep in mind for a breakfast option. read more
