It's all fun and snacks until someone hates parallel parking... Originally destined for a downtown restaurant, only to get discouraged by the traffic, we decided to head towards our motel and hope to venture into somewhere with a lot along the way. Then hark! An Eat'n Park, that I may have entirely picked because our only other option was KFC, and I don't do chicken. Also because I'm a sucker for ridiculously cute mascots, but that's beside the point. (I did stop to take a picture of the happy guy, albeit not including my tired ol mug in it.) We arrived around 2pm, tired and hungry. We wanted something quick and found the service to be prompt. I went for water, my travel companion a fizzy drink. I liked that the waitress checked if I wanted lemon instead of assuming, and that we got bendy straws, in case of bubble blowing urges. I'll also note that she asked about refills instead of guilting my weak bladder into chugging more or flat out ignoring an empty cup. She knew a good frequency to check in and seemed relatively knowledgeable when I had questions. My companion ordered the fried pickles and loaded french fries. I never had experienced proper fried pickles before this moment and they won me over. I've seen them usually shaped as chips, though this place does spears, something I personally prefer. It can lead to an escape of the naked pickle from its crunchy seasoned coat if you aren't careful. The dish comes with 6 spears and ample ranch for dipping, which we both liked. The fries had a cheese sauce didn't drown them into soggy territory, yet still added a nacho like taste, partly due to the fajita seasoning. The cook on the bacon was a bit chewy in places, crispy in others according to my companion. While her small appetite couldn't quite complete her meal, she noted that it was worth the much affordable price. I personally went for the side garden salad, which as the waitress explained comes with carrot (shreds), tiny tomatoes, cucumber slices and croutons. The croutons are smaller than a playing die, which made things easier, as usually larger ones get stuck in my teeth. I dipped them in the container of honey mustard that accompanied my plate. I also ordered the mini potato pancakes with sour cream. I was also offered applesauce and ended up using neither, as I found pleasure in using up the remainder of my dressing instead. They had good flavor without being salty. You get six, and they are about two to three bites a piece, depending on how quickly you like to shovel food in your mouth. The waitress was smart enough to start the order before coming back to take my half as I needed more time to decide. This kept the wait time short (to be fair we didn't get full meals, so your mileage may vary) and meant that we got to start on the meal without waiting to be bombarded by plates. So yeah, this wasn't what we planned, and the parking lot is not fun to leave unless you catch a red light, but for an affordable quick meal, I'm leaving just like Smiley (the cute mascot), content at life's plan B. read more

Love coming to EatNPark for lunch. I love their buffalo chicken wrap and their French fries are delicious. My husband and son enjoyed the soup and salad bar today.

Eat'n Park - Indoor dining (COVID-19) indoor spacing - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Sharon with the Karen hairdo.. Normally I love to give raving reviews as if my opinion matters and to help shine light on those deserving. Unfortunately today is not one of those times. I took my 2 young girls, age 2 and 6 to enjoy the breakfast buffet. (Mom is away with a family emergency so what does any dad do, try to make it the best experience for these lil ladies.) They were moderately busy but we were seated promptly and kindly by the greeter. It took a couple minutes for our server to appear once seated so I took the girls to get a plate of food and get started since there wasn't a lot of time left until the buffet closed. When we get back to the table the server finally appears, I greet her with a kind hello and she immediately starts with " looks like your in a hurry, what do you want to drink". Placed our drink order and then I retrieved my plate. Food was as good as to be expected and we enjoyed it. But, my two year old was more interested in coloring then eating. So as my 6 yr and I were finishing I asked for a small box to take my 2 yrs food home to pick at for the next 3 hours lol. Mind you this has never been a problem in the 7 years we've been dining here. Today apparently that was a problem. So I proceeded to inform my server that we will be here for a while then for her to try and finish her food, after already being reminded twice about the check in 5 min. So, from 11 am until 12:15 we sat and waited for her to finish. This resulted in approx 2-3 different rounds on that table of fresh customers, which means lost money for the server and establishment. I go to pay the bill and now after an hour+ of sitting there and her never speaking to me, she brings me a small to go box with cookies in it for my daughters. That was a huuuuge slap in the face at this point and this papa bear lost it. I awarded her no tip except for 1 dollar and a quote my service manager uses all the time. "Don't trip over a dollar, to pick up a penny." I myself do customer service work and was appaled by this behavior. The waitress then chased me down to make a scene in the lobby and try to give my dollar back. At that point I asked for the manager. While I did explode at first and curse to the manager I regained composure and apologized to her. She apologized to me and even offered to send something home for my daughter to eat in the end. I gave her back the box and told her this can be a great teaching tool and moment. The multitude of servers and guests watching this unfold with pure shock on their face was wild. If you ever find yourself in this neck of the woods the food is usually spot on, but avoid the server named Sharon with the Karen hairdo. Unless you look like you are rich she doesn't seem to be too nice to you based on my nearly 2 hours of observation. read more

Tori is a sweet angel and put my husband in his place. 15/10 stars. The ambiance of this place is off the charts. So romantic

Busy day here for brunch .. we had about a 15 min wait for a table for three... usually you can get in without a long wait these days. Have to say it felt like they were not prepared for the crowds today. It was busy they and they could not keep up with the demand of the people here for brunch. Plates were in high demand at the salad bar - had to wait for them to bring clean ones out twice. Go for soup - no soup spoons.. When you got a plate --- and when you went up for food -some of the pickings were slim -- they couldn'tkeep up with the demand of foods like the waffles and eggs. I grabbed a waffle for my sis since I was in the right place when the guy brought 5. But they were gone within seconds again. Could not really tell if this is the norm for them or just shot handed. I tended to settle my selections to some friend chicken ( which was good) bacon, French toast sticks (not a fan sorry) and the soup ( chili and potato)... call me crazy but I do like the chili ( topped with some cheese). Our waitress - Jean - was a nice lady. She was busy too - but managed to keep plates cleaned up and water in glasses. I would go back - it's eat n park and a burgh thing - but may try another location for brunch next time. read more

I hat two super burgers and a coconut cream pie. The super burgers were mostly tasteless and the meat seemed like it was made hours ago. This used to be their signature offering but they obviously have no pride in what they make anymore. The coconut cream pie was mislabeled. It should have been called cream pie with a slight hint of coconut. I won't be back. read more

Busy Sunday. Wait was about 15 mins for a table of three at about 12:30. It felt like they where not prepared for the crowds. They could not keep up with the demands for the day. Plates were in high demand along with the waffles and pancake. The server were only able to bring out a stack of about 10 plates at a time. I never saw a pancake and waffles .... Were brought out 3-5 at a time and were gone within seconds. Our waitress was nice and very attentive with clearing plates and refilling drinks as needed. I would probably try a different location next time. I love Eat n Park especially for their salad bar. And, it a Burgh thing!!! read more

Eat'n Park - Chicken tenders - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

It's an Eat'n Park so you know what you are going to get. Service wasn't so hot this time and not sure why as they weren't busy. I had a turkey club which had yellow American cheese so it looked weird. Otherwise, it was a typical turkey club. My husband had the chicken noodle soup, which is consistently good. He had the sandwich special which was a tuna melt. It was not a typical tuna melt. It was a tuna sandwich with melted cheese. Not what he was expecting at all. He got the silver dollar pancakes and thought they had a good flavor. read more

Went there yesterday after being in Florida for a couple years now. Had my girl from Florida with me so I wanted her to try this place since it was a staple since I graduated from the high school up the street. Absolutely horrible. Horrendous service, she ordered French toast and was served pancakes. Appetizers have zero taste and seem like they were freezer burned and thrown in a microwave. Servers always making excuses as other servers called off. It's the day after Christmas you're gonna be slammed. Managers just walking around with coffee pots and that's it. I ate half of my one appetizer and set it at the end of the table and there it sat until I paid the bill. Would never recommend and would never go there again. We from a 4 star to a .2 star. Absolutely ridiculous for $40 read more

My wife asked me what kind of cake I wanted for my birthday this year. I told her I wanted a lemon meringue pie. She called our local Giant Eagle and they informed her they only had frozen pies. She called Eat n Park at the waterfront and ordered a lemon meringue pie that she stated she would pick up today 11/21/2020. When she arrived at the restaurant she went inside and the employee(s) at the counter acted like they had no idea what she was talking about. She expected a fresh pie to be given her but she was given one out of the display case. There were 2 date stickers on the bottom of the pie pan ( I looked ) and they had 11/23 and 11/25 on them. How long did this pie sit in the case??? I expected a freshly baked pie. It's for my birthday and NOT every day. Thanks for destroying my birthday Eat n Park. I'll make sure I never have my wife order anything from this place again. read more

Have been coming to this eatn park my whole life and it is always a good experience. They remodeled the restaurant in the past couple of years to make it more modern looking. The addition of the drive through was also a nice touch. Whether you are here for breakfast or a late night meal, the service is usually fast and the prices reasonable. Eatn park's food is very good for the price you will pay. They have some great appetizers like mozzarella sticks, Mac and cheese bites, and fried pickles. Their Buffalo sauce is some of the best I have ever had. Both the Buffalo chicken tenders or wrap are sooo good. They also have what I would say is the best ranch in Pittsburgh. The super burger is also another great option that you can't go wrong with. read more

This is probably my favorite place in the world. I grew up at this location. Eat n Park is a well known Pittsburgh institution for diner type food. I have many fond memories of this place and many friends who have worked here. Some of my favorite meals are the Super burger and fries, the house salad (with a side order of fries), and their chicken sandwich with sugar snap peas (and french fries). They are also home to the smiley cookie. No trip to Eat n Park is complete without a smiley cookie. read more

I just wanted to comment on the take-out drive thru..its a life saver! The food isnt amazing or anything, but it's very good for a diner and it's so inexpensive. Christ, for like 10$ you get an entre, 2 sides, bread and a cookie (and they allow soups and salads as sides) NO bs, just a meal and 2 of whatever you want. They never mess up the order, very reliable and ALWAYS nice...their slogan "the place for smiles" is actually accurate. It's just such a good deal for what you get. read more

This is my local Eat N Park, so this is the one I always go to when I get that craving. Eat n park itself I love. It's nothing fancy, but it's quick and easy when you're in the mood for something comforting. I love their salad bar, their soup, and all of their entrees I've tried including breakfast. This location might also have the nicest manager of all time. She's always there to greet you and give you a compliment...she's been there for as long as I can remember, and she truly makes the experience more pleasant. Typically I would give this ENP a 5 Star, but here's the reason for the 3. Last time I was there they served me straight up raw chicken. Now I've been here plenty of times and this is the first time any of the food has been raw, but because despite me praying I wouldn't, I did end up getting sick and yes unfortunately that did leave a bad taste in my mouth about this enp and definitely about their poultry items. I know this can happen anywhere, so it surely won't stop me from coming back, but it will be awhile before I feel comfortable getting chicken again. read more

My family and I have been ordering takeout for years and I have never experienced such horrible treatment! My grandmother always orders from here in the morning and it's wonderful,however; when we order at night there is always something wrong. The general manager was very disrespectful and accused us of putting hair in our own food!! We will never be eating at this restaurant again and no one should have to be treated the way we were!! read more

We ordered takeout saying our food would be available at 5:26 pm and it wasn't ready until a little after 6. The purpose was so he didn't have to go inside but he went through the drive thru line and it wasn't ready the first time. Then the line got so long he had no choice but to go in because they never ended up bringing the food out. It was cold, no untensils like I had asked. We will not be ordering take out from eat n park for a long time. read more

This month, EnP is offering up their Buffalo Chicken salad with a twist: they're adding waffle-cut sweet potatoes to them, and damn does it make a candied, caramelized difference, particularly when grilled onions become a factor. Drizzle on some ranch dressing, and I'm home, man. Give me some Dutch Apple Pie a la mode, and I'm floating towards Valhalla. This EnP is one I hadn't been to in ages and ages, but Kay wanted her some EnP, so here we found ourselves on a Friday evening, and yes, the fact that I had yet to review this one played a role in our going. Our server Rachel was as bubbly as a bottle of seltzer water. And that's all there is to say, really. read more

I always enjoy the food and company of staff. Probably one of the best EatNParks around. I'm constantly there, mostly night time, and you can tell the kitchen isn't angry or disgruntled with life or food. Come enjoy read more

It's E&P. It's the same everywhere unless someone is having a bad day or the order is wrong. The food is pretty consistent and even the pickiest of eaters can find something on their menu. Burgers seem to be the highlight of the menu right now. The late night menu gives patrons who dine after 8 a big bang for their buck charging a measly 2 bucks for a slice of pie among other happy hour type prices for other yummy bites. While not 5-star, this chain is a hometown favorite and who could turn down a smiley face cookie? read more

Before I came to Pittsburgh, I'd never heard of Eat n Park -- they certainly don't exist in Michigan, Wisconsin, or Illinois. They're basically a regional diner chain: think Bob Evans or Denny's with local flair and you more or less have it. They have two claims to fame: breakfast/brunch buffets and smiley cookies. The buffets are standard fare, and the smiley cookies are big hits with the kids. This particular Eat n Park is very popular: so popular that there was one time where we got seated but never served. We ended up waiting for about 30 minutes, and then having to leave because it was time for church. The waitstaff and the manager were mortified that it happened, and true to their word it never happened to us again -- and we've been there several times since. We find this to have been an honest mistake, and it's always refreshing to see an establishment own up to its errors and strive for improvement. Oh, word to the wise: feeding smiley cookies to your young children is probably a mistake. Once the sugar high starts, your children will become miniature weapons of mass destruction, demolishing everything in their paths. Your living room (and your pets) will probably never forgive you. There. You've been warned. read more

I've been here a few times, but today was HORRIBLE. I placed a mobile order with a pick up time of 6:09 PM at the pick up window. There was short line when I got there at 6:07 PM. I got to the window at 6:20 - 11 minutes AFTER my food was scheduled to be picked up. It was not ready. I then waited in the parking lot for another 20 minutes. My food was finally given to me 27 minutes AFTER it was to be ready. But, wait, it gets worse. The Superburger bun was stale. The onion rings were cord and hard. The fries were overcooked and cold. And, best of all, the club sandwich had a few small shavings of bacon - so small I though they were crumbs! Needless to say, I will never visit this place again and may never visit another Eat 'N Park ever again. read more

My friend from Pitt said that this chain is a huge part of Pittsburgh, as in it's where everyone goes when they have no where else to eat. She said it was like a Denny's and we were all just starving in the morning, so we said what the heck and headed there. It really is just like a Denny's. Or maybe like a cross between that and Marie Calender's. They had a lot of pies and such, but my native friend warned me that they tasted bad. The server sat us right next to a hot buffet, and right then, I knew that I didn't even have look at the menu. It was only $7.99 for the hot brunch buffet, at least until 11:00 and we had gotten there at 10:30. The breakfast items consisted of yogurt, sausage, bacon, eggs, potato cakes, hash browns, apple pie poppers, fried cream cheese corn bites, oatmeal, and some other things that I can't remember. I was disappointed because I thought the corn things were chicken nuggets and the apple pie things were jalapeno poppers, but thinking back, considering it was breakfast, that should have been obvious... The food tasted alright. Nothing particularly special or disgusting. What WAS great was that it switched to lunch about 15 minutes early so I got to eat the lunch buffet for the SAME PRICE. It added ham, mash potatoes, penne pasta, chili, stuffing and gravy, macaroni and cheese, and fried chicken. I was sad though that they took away the cream cheese bites and the potato cakes, because those tasted great. Considering the price and the relative quality of the food, I'd say that this place was a bargain. My friend's omelette looked okay, but I didn't try any of it because I was too busy with my own food. My friend also insisted that we had to eat a Smiley cookie, which is what they are apparently known for. It tasted pretty meh... read more

Short n sweet, I needed a place to hang out while waiting for the car dealership service center to open. Very nice ladies to chat with at the counter whom also happened to be the waitresses. Quick to refill the coffee cup, which is good coffee, not great and had a short stack of whole grain pancakes. Nutty flavor from the whole grains and oatmeal in the batter, maple syrup topped it off perfectly. It's Eat N Park, no frills and a good hot breakfast under 6 bucks. What's not to like? read more

We have watched this business since the pandemic started. It is almost totally empty. We came here weekly before 2020. Of course, there is NO salad bar - and that probably makes the difference. We decided after 10 months away to go in. Very sparsely occupied. We ordered tea and water with lemon - and the waitress said - NO LEMON - "We've taken it off the menu" ?????Who does that. I have known for several years they never had any in their "Lemon Pie". Other dine-in spots have plenty of lemon -- why not Eat-N-Park? Also the prices have gone up considerably - we got just a few appetizers -- the bill was $29.00!!! We won't be back!! read more

Eat n Park is a Pittsburgh tradition. It is tried and true. It's a family tradition for a lot of families. It is a family friendly restaurant. The wait staff is usually nice. The restaurant is always clean. The food is where they waffle. One word-inconsistency. Sometimes, like yesterday, the chili is watery. Sometimes, like yesterday, my scrambled eggs were more fried than scrambled. My safe bets here are The Original Breakfast Smile and the Rosemary Chicken. Yesterday my safe bet of the Breakfast Smile wasn't consistent. I was bummed. The server was kind enough to check to see if there were biscuits left because I ordered breakfast at lunch time. I was able to get biscuits which was nice but my scrambled eggs were fried and not scrambled. Their seemed to be no seasoning on the eggs either. Scrambled eggs are not a tough dish to make. My hash browns were cooked well but again seemed to lack salt or pepper. My bacon was barely room temperature. It was the customer service we received from our waitress that got my review up to three stars. If it was solely based on food it was you have been a one star review. read more
