- EEthanBaltimore / Maryland •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt’s been a while since we’ve been here. The name has changed but it seems like the same place. The ribs were outstanding, the service was efficient and friendly. It was lively but not too noisy. They seem to have hit on a good formula and are executing it as well or better than ever.More infoGlenwood's - Stanford Grill: Columbia$$$$• Contemporary American• Columbia•4.7
