Review from Ken R.

Uncle Glenn's is a small neighbourhood pub and eatery with a great atmosphere. The staff is warm and inviting, and the food is of good quality. The oven fired pizza is definitely their bread and butter. The pub is accented with two pool tables and a well equipped bar. This is a great place for small groups to enjoy themselves in a safe and warm environment. Weekends are often busy with a good mix of older and younger crowds. The only drawback would be the lack of a dance floor, however impromptu aisle-way boogie is common. On the plus side there is an Internet jukebox, and free popcorn and peanuts.

Uncle Glenn's is one of those neighbourhood pubs that has been there forever, and makes one wonder how it has lasted so long. Located in a strip mall in the Rio Terrace area, this is a bar in every sense of the image: one large room, televisions tuned into sports, and a huge wall of spirits. There is also a popcorn machine and barrel of peanuts in the shell near the entrance. Beer and other drinks are reasonably priced, and the menu has typical bar food like wings and chicken fingers, and some not so typical stuff like bacon wrapped steak medallions and scallops.
I decided to try one of Uncle Glenn's signature dishes: the wood-fire oven pizza. There are about a dozen different choices, all $12.95. Extra toppings are a buck extra and you can make your own pizza for $13.95. I settled on the Southwestern, with chicken, barbecue sauce, red peppers, and red onions. It was excellent. The sauce was strong but not overbearing, and there was a lot of chicken and mozzarella cheese. The crust was thin and reasonably firm.
My two dining companions (one of whom suggested going here in the first place since we wanted a non-chain west end eatery) both had the calzone. Cheese, veggies, and pepperoni in a folded pizza shell came with a tossed salad. The calzones looked huge and seemed full, but nobody seemed particularly excited about them. Although the salad looked large and fresh, one person commented that the salad was awful and had bitter lettuce.
I would definitely come here again for the pizza, if I was looking to go out with friends for some drinks in the west end. Otherwise, i would not suggest going out of your way to come here.
