This is one of the great eat parks Dormont has easy parking Friendly service It's like diner they have burgers sandwiches entrees like turkey pasta fried fish They have a legit salad bar that's hard to find these days. The salad bar also has a different homemade soup every day. They also have really nice milkshakes. It's an all-around great place to eat. they have a great kids menu and Ava loves their smiley face waffle. And of course they are famous for their smiley face cookies and I have to add that they have a spotless bathroom with a changing table that actually has the mats. read more

My wife and I ate at Eat n Park Dormont and the new menu is great. The service was fantastic and couldn't have had a better experience.

The food and the staff at the Dormont Eat n Park are amazing. The salad bar was delicious and the manager that check on us was Danielle and she was sweet and help the servers and my server was Barb and she was sweet and knew the menu well. read more

I had an amazing experience with my dad at this location! Holly and Marigold were phenomenal with service! The food was amazing! It was cooked to my liking and the atmosphere was great too! read more

Best Eat n Park I've been too. Staff is very friendly. Holly was ghe best waitress ever and had beautiful makeup for the season!! The resturant was quiet for being an hour before close and staff wasn't even mad about it. Def come to this location! Music is also tasteful. read more

Ordered online. Never received. No help option on the website. Didn't respond to email or text.

If you are just looking for standard diner fare at a fair price, I always get good service here. The staff is always friendly and professional. Knocked a star off because they sometimes stop replenishing the buffet early, but that's not unusual. Also, the soup can sometimes be too salty and sometimes people scoop out the "good stuff" (the latter is due to customers, but both issues could be rectified could be rectified by more attention from staff). All in all, it's a place I will continue to go because of price, convenience, cleanliness, and staff. read more

I grew up in Pittsburgh and when I recently moved back I was anticipating visiting Eat n Park again, BUT the food is now 2024 mediocre at best I decided to have the Sunday Buffet but it was a very unpleasant experience. Everything was covered with Covers that were GREASY and Slippery at best. The Food was OK but to even see what was in the various containers I had to move the greasy hot and slippery lid. No one was eating off the Buffet at the time and I understand why. I remember when that buffet was truly delicious but not any more of course my original experiences were over 40 years ago. It's very sad the rest of the menu offerings seem to be below par most often also. read more

Wife and I had dinner her the other night. I had the cod with mashed potatoes and gravy and they have a huge salad bar. The cod was delicious and the salad/soup/fruit bar was really great. I could of come for just the salad bar and would of been completely happy. The service was great and it was fast and friendly. The place is pretty big and was very clean. If in the area I do recommend Eat'n Park as the food and service are both really good. read more

First off it took exactly 47 minutes to get our plate second I order a side of house potatoes and they're solid hard in the center I order the country fried steak scrambled eggs comfort little hashbrowns hashbrowns were still cold my eggs were cold my steak was cold the gravy for my steak was diluted in water down tasteless the best thing about the entire plate was the toast the lady was so lovely I didn't know how to tell her that the food here sucks fire the cook fire the cook. I should've gone to IHOP read more

Best family restaurant around. Open early and close late. Premises are always neat and clean. The menu has something for everyone and the food arrives hot and tasty. If you're looking for exotic try somewhere else. If you're in the mood for a place that can serve grandad son and grandchildren something they will all enjoy this should be your choice. read more

i love this eat'n park so much everytime i come here the service is good and the food is amazing

Peoples reviews make me laugh. Its eat n park...its not fine dining. You have to know what you are getting yourself into. Went to this location for dinner last Tuesday around 6pm for dinner. We were seated right away. Both my husband and I ordered the superburger with the salad bar as our sides. Love doing that because my daughter can then eat for free off the salad bar. My superburger was delicious. Don't expect a big juicy burger. They are very thin patties, but as I mentioned, delicious. Salad bar was okay but I know going into it that its not amazing. Our waitress was friendly but didn't come around that often. She never even refilled our water. Kids get a free cookie at the end of the meal. My daughter who is 2 would give it 5 stars. There is a parking lot alongside and around back. Its great that you do not have to park on the busy street. read more

Don't order out at this restaurant. Don't Dash it. Don't Uber Eats it. Don't use it. There must be something wrong with my family: we don't learn. Eat 'n Park makes a mess of our order, we don't order from the circus-like restaurant for another month, get desperate, order again, and the restaurant botches our order again. Lather, rince, repeat. We order from this restaurant and receive 60% of the food, on average. Then the restaurant that goofed our order expects me to hop in my car to fix their mistakes, defeating the purpose of ordering out and taking twice the time. Also, they char their burgers into coal. Don't give money to incompetent organizations. read more

Sadly, Eat N Park is hit or miss. The food is consistently good, but service is up and down. Some of that I understand with the challenges of staffing, but most comes down to poor management. As an example, they recently changed from paying at the register to servers taking the check. Since I'm used to the old system after 40 odd years, I was unaware, especially since my server said nothing and never came back to collect. I got to wait at the register for a while, then got sent back to my table by the manager, then waited at my table for a while. At least I finally got to pay, unlike the napkins I asked for 3 times and never got and had to walk into the kitchen to get for myself. read more

I didn't enjoy my food at all. After trying many places I feel as though this was the only place who didn't seem to know how to prepare my food right. Morgantown has amazing Vegan options but when I tried ordering here I felt as though the bar was too low compared to the burgers you could get in town. Since theyre all identical tasting and made burgers it just shows that Eat N Park just isnt able to make them where they taste similar to even the ones we make at home. If youre geting the vegan burger i would choose somewhere else or just make it yourself for a better flavor. ​ read more

I like Eat and park but I want to state my disappointment in a pie I purchased at Latrobe. I bought a whole peach berry pie. When we cut the ie there were no berries at all. And only a few pieces of peaches. The pie had mostly cherries. Cherries are not berries. The sign should have said cherry peach pie. I would not have bought it It was good but not what I wanted. read more

I ordered takeout for the first time at this location recently and it was so quick! My grilled buffalo chicken wrap was made just how I ordered it and the potato soup was great as always. I got a free smiley face cookie with my order, too! It was ready within 15 min-- I just went inside, found my order on the shelf by the counter and was on my way. read more

Good food, great customer service, fast service! Love it! So affordable! I have never had any issues at this location!

My cup is always full and this place brings me joy it's really about the simple things here

just bad food !!! never go agian !!! slow service,no help,food got cheap made,servers have to many tatoo's,alaways in a hurry,cleaning around you when you are eating !!! read more

This location has improved 110% since last time I ate here. They have great waitresses (ample employees) Great service !! Good cooked perfectly. So happy it s great again read more

The waitress said that it would be a 10-15 minute wait. It was not. Maybe 50 minute wait. Never Again! They pick on the skinny people. Only fat people allowed in this restaurant. Many buffet professionals have walked through the door. read more

Best food and service 24 hours. The oldest still standing Eatn Park that exists. Awesome ! Thank You Eatn Park Dormont Pa for all your years of outstanding service. read more

Two words - salad bar!!!!!! If you are a sucker for a good salad you need to come here and build your own heaping plate complete with delicious homemade dressings. Their soups are excellent - my fave is the chili (it's a soupier version) and the stuffed pepper soup. Their fried zucchini and provolone sticks are hand-battered and always fresh; both go amazing with their famous ranch dressing. As for entrees- I honestly have never found one that is absolutely to die for- most are just homemade classics and modern American eats. They add in a special dish here and there (like a summer salad or spicy pasta dish or fish dish during lent) as well. I personally enjoy their rosemary chicken breast with mashed potatoes (ask for rosemary sauce on the potatoes instead of gravy - yummy), their shredded pot roast sandwich with the salad bar, and also the Santa Fe turkey sandwich which sadly was taken off of the menu when I was last there- I think they may bring it back as a limited item in the future as it was reasonably popular. Their cinnamon rolls ("stickies") are delicious as well, and if you aren't already stuffed, try the "stickies a la mode" for dessert. Or one of their many homemade pies, one of which is at a discounted price every month. Don't ignore this hometown staple! It's as dear to Pittsburghers as Primanti Bros. read more

New to the area and decided to give it a shot. Wont probably return. My husband had the stacked meatloaf and mashed potatoes ... I had the turkey dinner with all the trimmings. The potatoes were clearly instant. Everything was very bland and reminiscent of school/hospital food. Or a frozen tv dinner type meal. The apps were ok... the homemade chips were good the cheesy tots just ok very little toppings. The best part of the meal? The bread and butter and dessert. The pumpkin pie was very good as was my husband's coconut pie. The service was also very good. All that being said? I saw a gentleman's plate who was sitting nearby... he had breakfast. It looked amazing. Giant loaded Belgian waffle, huge slabs of bacon.... His wife had awesome looking french toast. We may try it one more time for breakfast. read more

My family and stopped by after shopping at the outlet.... The service was horrible. Never once asked if we wanted drink refills. The carrots were undercooled. I never got my side. The food was cool. We had to wait on the kids meal, of all thing, because they "dropped it in the kitchen"! and to top it off... I ordered a to-go for my husband but I asked to wait to put it in (so it wouldn't be soggy) and of course it came out with our meals!! This definitely tops the worst service and food experience I've ever ha. read more

The waitress we got was horrible. She was short with us, rude, and she barely attended to the table. It was not only overpriced but disgusting. My brothers got the buffet and everything was old, cold, and tasted horrible. They barely refilled the buffet at all. The fries were off and the cod was dripping everywhere. We had already only gone back after poor experiences in the past for the nostalgia, but this was the final straw. We will not be going back. read more

(11/9/2014) I think it was on Sunday night, but maybe technically Monday morning, when we were there. I've never been to an Eat'n Park, but apparently everyone in the greater Pittsburgh area has. Like a local version of a Denny's with it's smiley face logo and cheesy smiley face entree titles. I think we planned it just right, go to Apple Inn, have lots of shots, close down bar, cross the street and go to Eat'n Park. They must be used to it. Lovely waitress was patient, but didn't take no sh*t from us. The 3 AM shift has got to be either an entertaining or hell. Food was, as I remember it, pretty good (take that opinion for what it's worth). My Meat Lovers Omelet was sufficiently day-glo orange cheesy and had an appropriate amount of all the processed, sodium-laden meat bits (just the way I ordered it). I was told I had to get the Breakfast Potatoes. I think I ate one. It was good. My drunk tablemates horded the rest. I insisted I had to have four smiley cookies, just because, everyone gets a cookie. I don't know if they were free or if I paid for them. It was a hard, dense cookie that tasted much like paste. We ate them. I think they were OK, they did make us smile. read more

Eat'n Park is the only diner chain I will go to. They have options for dietary restrictions, delicious desserts, and the food is always good! The one time our order was wrong, they promptly sent us a gift card to make it up to us. read more

Every eat n park is different, referring to the service and food quality. I like this establishment because of the salad bar (the Dormont and Banksville ones are my top choices), and the fact that this place is all about the kiddos. It is not too over priced, but to each their own. I particularly like the chicken Romano. It has a tasty white wine sauce to it. The other go to's for dinner is the baked floridian(in orange juice), and the Rosemary chicken. For breakfast: I would just go for the buffet. There is plenty to choose from and they have a decent breakfast/sausage gravy. Lunch: the buffalo chx wrap, turkey club, and the pot roast sandwich. They have very good pies. The strawberry pie is our favorite. Pretty soon, they should be having their pie special (a slice for $2). read more

My late night go-to place when I get a hunger attack in Pittsburgh! I loved it. Have one of the Smile Breakfasts, they are very tasty and satisfy the munchies without overstuffing your belly. Plus , Excellent service! Denny's doesnt hold a candle to this eatery! read more

Don't do online ordering here! I placed and paid for my order online one salad at 9:00pm. Said it was ready for pick up at 9:18. Got to the restaurant a few minutes before and the online ordering instructions says that whenever your order was ready they will drop it off to the designated online ordering counter. Ended up waiting until 10 pm. The whole time 2-3 different waitresses saw me waiting never asked if I needed help or for anything. Finally at ten I decided to say is my order ready it's supposed to be done at 918 and they said oh yeah here you go and they didn't give me utensils or a dressing like I requested. Not to mention all I ordered was ONE salad. It shouldn't take a whole hour from 9-10pm for a salad. read more

Went here for lunch today to grab a quick meal. My mother in law ordered chicken noodle soup, which appeared to be all noodles. She ate maybe a 1/3rd. I ordered a tuna salad sandwich on a croissant. The sandwich was all mayonnaise and egg whites with a hint of tuna. It had no flavor and was extremely oily. I do not eat eggs and had the menu indicated that there were eggs, I never would have ordered it. My wife had the hot turkey sandwich which was so salty it was inedible.(We think it was the gravy ) The one redeeming factor were the french fries. Lukewarm but okay. Why anyone would go here is beyond me. The place needs a thorough cleaning and the parking lot and exit are awful. read more

Everyone is always very friendly and the food is always delicious don't listen to the negative reviews worth every penny I love this shit

I just have to say, Regina is the best. She was attentive and efficient, two of my favorite qualities! Seriously though, she was fantastic. This is a 24 hour location, so you know the staff deals with jerks, but you would never know based on the smiles and warm greetings...even at 3 am. Eat, visit, tip. Regina is great! read more

Great friendly staff and quick service. Like all locations a great menu any time of the day. Very helpful with substitutions for allergies. The salad bar is always clean and well stocked with items and plates. Clean restrooms and just very clean in general. Ample parking spaces. read more

Newly renovated the restaurant has a diner feel with an updated touch. The menu hasn't changed but the quality is even better. Opt for the salad bar or one of many items on their menu and you won't be disappointed! Don't leave until you have a slice of their homemade pies or shakes, they'll leave you dying for more! read more

I truly do not know where to begin. This Eat'n Park is absolutely horrific. The staff is terrible from the high school girls who work at night to the older women who work in the day time. I haven't had a good experience here in the longest time. The dinning room is always a mess, the staff has no urgency to wait on you, the food takes forever no matter if there is 5 people or 50 in the restaurant. The staff is incredibly rude. I never met a more miserable group of waitresses in my life. I live very close to the Dormont location but I highly recommend driving the extra mile to go to the one on Banksville Rd. or go up the street to Tom's Diner. The restaurant was recently remodeled but they should of just demolished it because it's a disaster. read more
