Eat’nPark

I’ve been going to this Eat n Park (Penn Hills) for years and they never disappoint. I did a take out order on Halloween 2015. The lady that took my phone order was very polite and professional, she repeated my order back to me to make sure it was correct. She told me it will be ready in 25 minutes it was ready when I got there and piping hot. Our order that day was a buffalo chicken salad, Philly cheesesteak/​fries, kids cheeseburger and fries and 2 slices of apple pie. The only suggestion I would make is that they give a little more fries for their take out orders. The apple pie is always our highlight very good! Homemade flaky crust and juicy apple slices and I love their strawberry pie as well. They always give free smiley cookies with your order, that’s a nice touch since my little boy loves them. This is not fast food, so when you want something quick, taste good, good quality and your in a hurry phone Eat n Park and do a take out order.

Sam and his staff are awesome. Pleasant staff, great salad bar, farm fresh local produce and pride in their community, makes for a perfect meal. Best restaurant in the chain! Keep up the good work.

Great foods!!! Extremely nice employees. Great way to chill out. They give kids free cookies every time you go. Amazing dessert’s. Great pies.

Not sure why I continue to let my wife talk me into eating here. The food was average at best. The hash browns were just a potato sponge for the grease and although they traded them for home fries, the home fries were greasy too. The restaurant was not busy but the service was sloooow. Ate all my eggs before waitress asked about the hash browns and had to wait for coffee refills a couple times. No smileys here. Should have went to the Donut Shack, they do much more than donuts and have never had a bad meal there.

Eat n park is a great place too go to for the quick comfort of american food that’s not overly expensive. They have a great salad bar and everything usually taste fresh.
The have a great array of dressing, about 9 or soup along with soup and deli salads like potato, broccoli slaw and macaroni. I like that they offer fruit along with the salad because I always enjoy something sweet to go along with my tangy salads.
Sundays are usually the busiest because of people leaving church and grabbing the brunch buffet before it stops at 2pm. They offer some hot foods like fried chicken, pirogues, stuffing and gravy, mashed potatoes and lots of other good stuff.
My favorite thing here though besides the food is their strawberry lemonade. I love how sweet and refreshing it is. Although there are no real strawberries i prefer it that way. They tend to get stuck in the straw anyway.

I wasn’t expecting a lot when I came into the restaurant… but it came nowhere near meeting my very low expectations.
This location is old and not very clean. After mediocre experiences at other Eat’n Park restaurants, I decided to just order a Chai Tea. I wasn’t expecting Starbucks, but wow, it was by far the worst beverage I’ve ever had. It tasted like the drink was only a combination of cream, sugar, and water.
I don’t plan on returning here any time soon!

So we decided to give this location another try after the last mishap.
Eat’ n Park’s corporate office sent us a generous gift card after we contacted them after our last experience.
We arrived and were seated promptly. The restaurant wasn’t crowed at all. Our waitress came and took our drink orders. A few minutes later she returned with our drinks and walked away. Ten minutes later she then goes outside for a smoke break. Are you F$@#&%* kidding me?! She could have taken our food order first but no, she had to smoke.
She was out there for at least ten minutes before we decided to leave. So after 20 minutes after getting our drinks we still hadn’t place our food order. We got up, went to the cash register, paid for our drinks and left!
She was still outside smoking and talking to a co worker as we drove off.
I will never step foot in this location again in life!
