Tuesday is all-you-can-eat king crab day. I had seven of these bad boys, and I feel little to no shame in admitting it. Supposedly, the record for ultimate crab gluttony is 21 legs. Glenn's also has all-you-can-eat nights for ribs and shrimp (garlic or spicy). The crab legs came with a ramekin of butter, lemon, cole slaw and a corn cobette. The corn was a treat- buttered up with Parmesan cheese- but the slaw was way too wet and neither crisp nor refreshing.
As for the legs, they were sweet and rich. I imagine it's hard to mess up a crab leg- just steam it, right? Maybe. I had a partial leg that was, well, odd. I think it was either cooked way too long or was too close to the heat. The meat, or surrounding "fat" (I really don't know what it's called/is, sorry) was a greenish-gray and had an odd flavor that said "Just throw me in the shell bucket and carry on." And so I did. But this was hardly an obstacle and the meal was fantastic. Not only did the crab keep coming at a very acceptable pace, I did not cut my fingers on the spines the whole evening (special applause).
I want to also point out that the service at Glenn's (I have been there twice) is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. They had run out of legs the first time we went and offered to comp our meal (I went with the ribs and was very satisfied). This time around, we made a reservation, and from that phone call to the check-dropping everyone working there had a great sense of humor and there was nothing we needed that wasn't first offered by our server (more soda, butter, legs, sides, etc.) Also, the music was a delight- mostly 70's funk. And don't get me started on their cereal selection. Their regular menu looks fun as well. Definitely worth the half-hour bus ride!
