Nathen sat us promptly and explained what the souls of the day were. Service from Kim was excellent. She was the one hard working bright spot that we encountered. The booth was comfortable and relaxing in that Eat n' Park way. I got the fish sandwich with salad bar as my side. Grabbed a salad but there were no Super Bowls. I asked Nathan if he could maybe have some sent out. About 20 minutes into our dinner soup bowls were brought out, all room temperature. All there were watery and tasteless. The chili, chicken noodle and potato soup each were not worth eating (on this my wife and I agreed). The fish sandwich looked amazing but had that odd flour like undercoating. Wife enjoyed her turkey club. read more

I ordered soup for an appetizer for our dinner through the app and then picked it up at the drive through window. The soup was wonderful, the worker at the window was friendly, and the cookie was a great extra treat! read more

Eat'n Park - American Near Me - DuBois, Pennsylvania

This wasn't the best Eat'n Park experience that I have had. This location was a bit questionable when it came to a few things. Like the special of the day really wasn't special at all. See it was already in the menu, nothing special about it, not even the price. See I like EnP because of the salad bar, especially hitting on the day that they have their loaded potato soup. However, this visit the salad bar was lacking. It was missing items throughout. When my brother went up to grab some soup, he preferred the chicken noodle, he had to scrape bottom. Then the lady that was manning the salad bar was out of it, standing right next to him and said that she didn't know it was out. If you are working the salad bar you should know which items are needed and not. To top it off, as I was up there making my salad, and thank god I was in front of these two, a grandson was constantly touching all the food with his bare hands while all the grandfather did was keep telling not to do it. It wasn't just touching, it was the kid touching it and putting it back into the bin that he had just touched. Needless to say I did not make a return visit to the salad bar. As far as the main course, I went with the Mile High Meatloaf. It wasn't the best. It seemed like they didn't use the right bread. The meatloaf was really dry and there was not enough gravy to compensate for the dryness. Service was a bit slow and it wasn't really that busy. We hardly saw our server, so drink refills didn't happen for me, and took forever for my dad and brother. I had dirty silverware and had to get a soup spoon from the salad bar to replace my spoon. Overall, not a great experience, and I know it is not an overview of the company in a whole. I would give it another go at this location if I was in the area, but it probably wouldn't be my first choice. read more

We ate here on a Sunday night, and based on previous reviews, I was hesitant. This was literally the only non fast food place open in the area, and we had just driven through a blizzard. We wanted to eat and sleep. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the servers were kind, quick, and warm. The food was exactly what you would expect from a diner. Nothing spectacular, but it definitely hit the spot. read more

From a to z...., not ever going again! server was just miserable??? Dinner was fake /genaric...dipping cheese was running away(like water). chili was...,.kidney bean soup w/few specs of meat and Chilli season? milkshakes were not fully mixed (ingredients were still stuck in mixer cup bottom...?? food was poorly bland tasting /genaric what really bothered me was the waitress walked away before I was done ordering,she was very miserable, tired /not there??? price was too high for the route of food!!! I'm not one to ever really complain!!! read more

I've always loved Eat'n Park's salad bar. It is still awesome. AND- they had the holiday mugs with the Christmas Tree from the commercial. A special treat!! read more

Super busy, but great food and dessert menu. The salad bar items looked fresh. I ordered the pot roast special with a side of broccoli. I didn't expect it to come in a sandwich covered with gravy, but there you go. It was delicious and I ate every bite. Took a cold brew chocolate milkshake and one of their famous grilled stickies to go. So good! read more

Food not bad at all. Server very sweet. When I tried to order off of the kids meals portion of the menu (As I've done for the last years since having weight loss surgery)...according to our server her manager stated "ABSOLUTELY NOT!". Lousy customer service at it's best right there! Won't be back. read more

Don't often get to eat at eat'n Park but this one is clean and well run. Hostess and waitress were super friendly. Salad bar was fresh, clean, and well stocked. Would stop again. Forgot to mention they have gluten-free rolls for 75 cent up charge. Helps expand my wife's options immensely! read more

This restaurants a mix between soup&salad and IHOP. They have a pretty decently fresh all-you-can-eat salad and soup bar for $8/person. More importantly for me, the salad bars open until 10, which is awesome considering most later night food options are greasy or fast food. If you don't want salad, you can order off the menu that has all the normal American food that diners usually have. We came here on vacation and they were super friendly, contrary to other reviews. Maybe we just looked super touristy-esque? It more probably depended on the server we had, as is the case with any restaurant. (Thanks Gloria!). All in all, it's probably closer to 3 stars but the service for me added that .5 stars it needed to make it a 4 star. read more

Eat'n Park - a restaurant with booths and tables - American Near Me - DuBois, Pennsylvania

Traveling across the country from NY and never heard of Eat'n Park. So my dad and I stopped here for breakfast. It was pretty good! The waitress was super nice and the coffee was not bad! I got the veggie omelette and it was good. My only complaint was it came out not as hot as I would have liked. It's also nice they have gluten friendly menu items as I have a gluten allergy. A gluten free roll is 75 cents extra which to be honest isn't bad. Most places charge at least a $2 up charge. For two big breakfasts the total was $20.32. Not bad at all. read more

Walked in got seated ordered messed my order up 3 times never got my milkshake I ordered had to ask for silverware to eat the food with place is a joke read more

My bacon that I requested be made we'll done was raw,my sister found a hair in her pasta the chicken was undercooked

Never had the worst breakfast even the coffee was nasty pancakes tasted like cardboard.

I now understand why this business is going out of business. The food was bland and not throughly cooked. The burger needs some seasoning so it worth eating. I have feeling the meat is low freezer food quality. The onion rings were a mixture of throughly cooked and a few were noticeably had raw onion. Not going to miss this place once I'm back in Ohio. read more

I-80 between Youngstown OH and Central NJ is pretty barren. It is the main route between the Great Lakes States (and cities like Chicago and Detroit) and New York City. The places to stop are few and far between. One of the most logical is DuBois PA. About 100 miles from Youngstown, it has a strip of chain restaurants and stores about a mile from the freeway. One of the coolest is the Western PA chain called Eat-N-Park. It is like Friendly's or Big Boy, but better. Meals are served with a fresh baked sticky cinammon roll and powdered roll. They have entrees that have good presentation and flavor (both rosemary chicken and crumb topped whitefish were well seasoned and delicious). Also have a coffee bar and chai tea drinks. The bakery is on premisis. This chain does a nice job of balancing the traditional with the trendy. As someone who lived in a smaller town, this combination is most appreciated. For the outsider passing through, this is a cut above the other choices, and worth a stop. Also have breakfasts, sandwiches, and salad bar. This location, like many is 24 hours. read more

We stopped in for a bite on our way thru to Ohio. We had a new waitress so we gave her some slack. The issue was more about the food not the service. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, My wife ordered the herb crusted chicken and my 3 year old the mac & cheese. My burger came out cold and internally unseasoned and over seasoned on the outside. it was awful. My side a baked potato was also cold. My daughter's mac and cheese was cold as well. My wife chicken was warm and the sides were cold. All this we equated to the kitchen staff having shitty timing when it came to preparing meals. I had the staff take back my burger and did not eat a meal here. I went next door to Wendy's for a tastier, HOTT burger. I would not recommend this place. read more

My girlfriend and I decided on Eat N Park after a day running around doing some Christmas shopping. She knew what she wanted to order, but I needed a minute to look at things. I asked our waitress (Laura) about one of the menu items. She gave me an answer that steered me toward picking something else, and I settled on the turkey club. My girlfriend got pasta. During the course of our meal, Laura kept our drinks full, and paid just enough attention to our table to keep us happy. She was attentive, but not overbearing (as sometimes happens when a restaurant isn't packed). Our food was as good as we expected, and the overall trip was pleasing. We did have something come up during our visit that we thought we'd better bring to Laura's attention, but as it was something we felt could be a common mistake at a restaurant, we wanted to be as quiet about it as possible. She thanked us, and sent out a manager (which we hadn't asked happen). They both understood that we were just letting them know, not complaining about the incident, and we ended up with two smiley cookies, which we thought was a kind gesture, albeit unnecessary. We headed home full, and happy to have chosen Eat N Park for our dinner. Our server Laura came across as one of the best our area has to offer. If you're in the area and choose to stop at this restaurant, look her up. Not to take away from anyone else who may work there, but you'll be happy to end up in her section. read more

Eat'n Park - spoon - American Near Me - DuBois, Pennsylvania

Ordered fried fish dinner, as did a member of another party with us. The waitress brought not 1, but 3 separate orders of baked fish to our table. The 3rd attempt was accompanied with a suggestion from her that we both ordered incorrectly. After the 3rd time, we asked for our check. Mgr brought a box of cookies for our trouble. I kept waiting for the film crew to pop out and laugh. Will never go back. read more

UPDATED REVIEW AND RATING (Read the entire review) After a previous visit to Eat n Park I wrote the following: "Absolutely horrible experience this evening. First, I had to read the menu to our waitress, so she knew that the "Whale Of A Cod" dinner comes with two sides, not one. Then when I asked about the rolls that we were supposed to get with our dinner, I was informed they were out of rolls. After waiting for what seemed like forever, the waitress brought us "Whale Of A Cod" sandwiches, not the "Whale Of A Cod" dinners we ordered. When I pointed out the error, she took the sandwiches back to the kitchen and, judging from how quickly she returned, they just took the fish off the sandwiches and put it on the plate with our side orders. While this may seem OK, the size of the fish portions were considerably smaller than what we have gotten in the past (we have ordered the "Whale Of A Cod" dinner numerous times over the past nine months). Then, when our desserts were served the pumpkin pie I was served had a rubbery texture, which lead me to believe it was old, so I sent it back. Frankly, this was the worst service I have ever had at Eat n Park, and I was thoroughly disappointed." UPDATE: After being contacted by Eat n Park, we were given a gift card and returned to the same Eat n Park location this evening. What a dramatic improvement. The "Whale Of A Cod" dinners we ordered came with an appropriately sized fish portion (the menu states "HUGE", and they were), the service our waitress provided was immaculate and our meal was quite enjoyable. I can only assume Eat n Park took my initial review seriously, and took appropriate actions to correct the problems I pointed out. Thank you Eat n Park. read more

I've been to many Eat'n Park but this one may have been the best. Food was delicious. Server Jessalynn was attentive and friendly. Cookies were so soft I had to buy another. So happy we decided to stop here when going through Dubois! read more

The food is good but it is a bit pricey. Don't plan on taking a very big party there or you may have to go take out a loan. Most of the time the waitresses are very polite though read more

Yeah, I have to hit up the Eat n Park when back home. If not just for the Smiley cookies. This year I also bought a smiley christmas ornament. Very exciting. They have a good breakfast buffet. Lunch and dinners aren't exactly perfect for a near vegetarian, but hey, what small town caters to vegetarians? All in all, pretty good food. read more

5 stars because it's inexpensive and I LOVE the online order to take out/ drive thru option. Employees are always polite and my orders are always correct when I pick them up. read more

The manager must have some sort of racket going on. My wife gave her $10 for a piece of pie and she refused to give her change saying she only received $5. My wife left without getting any change. The couple in front of her were accused of not paying their bill by the manager. They had to seek out the employee that had rung them out. Then the manager said they didn't pay enough. Not many smiling faces at eat & park today. read more

Nice place - good American food. Staff very helpful - go see Bilger's Rocks if you're in the area.

Sat for 15 minutes at 9:00 PM and no one ever came to the table. I then walked to the front of the store only to wait another 2 minutes for the hostess to finish texting. Pointed out that no one came back yet so another server said if was Robert's section. Then waited another 5 minutes and still no Robert bid anyone else. So we left and went to Perkins. As I was walking out I called the store and Robert answered the phone as I asked for a manager he proceed to complain about us walking out while he hadn't put me on hold yet. Once the manager got on the phone I proceeded to explain our experience and she said she will have to reprimand some people. Thanks for the no service. Glad Perkins was so close. So much better than Eat'n Park. read more

I used to eat at Eat-In-Park with my parents when I was younger on the way to Hershey Park. Sadly most of them closed, but I was fortunate enough to be graced by this one on the way to see Punxsutawney Phil. The staff was very friendly and I got a couple boxes of their smiley cookies. read more
