I'd been craving the Super Burger from Eat'n Park, as I used to come to the Allegheny area every other week for a couple of years and I got it a few times and always loved it. So, when back in the area I stopped in to this location for one. After walking in, I waited several minutes for a hostess and by the time she came, there were several people in line, waiting. The server was friendly and smiling, so that partially made up for the wait up front. I ordered my burger and I also got their soup & salad bar to go with it instead of fries. The salad bar looked decent. The salad was just ok, the ranch dressing wasn't as flavorful as I recall. I also got a cup of chicken noodle soup and this looked "watered down" and flavorless and sure enough, it tasted that way too. The broth was barely of a chicken soup flavor, it's like they watered down the broth to stretch it out - yuck. I hardly ate that too. Then the burger came out... It looks alright, but the bun was missing most of the sesame seeds. There was lots of grease on the plate around it. Flavor was just ok, definitely not as great as I remembered. Overall, I was disappointed... But at least I'm no longer craving Eat'n Park. read more

This restaurant is known also for their buffet, pies and Smiley cookies from their bakery, and beverages such as milkshakes. My husband and I ate breakfast here on a Saturday morning. We easily found a parking spot in the lot. We waited a couple of minutes for the seating hostess to seat us at a table. Then we waited many minutes for our waitress to take our order for drinks and foods. The waitress did not bring out our foods until 40 minutes into our visit! I saw a sign that the restaurant was hiring employees, and I assume that we had long waits because of understaffing. Here are my reviews for our foods: Strawberry waffle with bacon and eggs - 5 stars - The waffle was a good size and was topped with fresh strawberries and lots of whipped cream. On the side were crispy bacon and eggs that were cooked sunny-side-up as I had requested. Ham and cheese omelette with turkey sausage, potato pancakes, and toast - 5 stars - My husband ate this entree, and he enjoyed it. Our bill was $31 plus a tip. The waitress nicely thanked us for visiting. read more

The food is ok, not great. But value for money is reasonable and service is usually good. It's better than Denny's.

Turkey Dinner, Mile High Meatloaf, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Shake, Broccoli Soup, & coffee review MILE HIGH MEATLOAF: A little too salty but very tasty. If you love salt, this will definitely be a winner for you. For the side I got the--- BROCCOLI SOUP: Which I found delicious. I usually like it a little bit thicker, but enjoyed the lightness of it. It allowed me to save room for dessert!!! TURKEY DINNER: My partner found it delicious. It is his favorite when we come to visit here. He was really excited to see it on the menu. For a side he got the carrots...however, the carrots tasted oddly rubbery and taste-less. We wouldn't recommend you getting them. COFFEE: We were 50/50 on it. He said it tasted burnt but I thought it was delicious. I think we just had 2 different pots of coffee. If yours taste burnt just ask for a fresh pot, the server was more than accommodating. PUMPKIN PIE: To die for!!!!!! So sweet AND fresh! PUMPKIN MILKSHAKE: Just full of pumpkin goodness. I love it and still crave more. Definitely recommend this place. It IS a diner but I think it taste way better and is way cheaper than the 4 star Central Diner & Grille I went to earlier. read more

Walked into the restaurant approximately 645 on a Thursday evening was seated. Waited seven minutes other people around me were seated and had their order taken. No one came to me to take my order. Got up I told weight staff of some type and all I heard was "thank you have a good evening." read more

This is actually three different restaurants and two of the last four times I ended up leaving because I waited so long for my food. It never arrived. One time I even asked for it to go and still did not get it. I dined here many times over the years, but I'm afraid that unless things improve greatly. I will no longer be a customer. read more

This is a very friendly EatnPark. My husband and I had our first date here and we will always see it fondly. It's also in a very convenient location and it never seems like you have to wait very long. read more

I love Eat'n Park but your salad bar has gone down hill tremendously! Why are all the veggies in a watery soup? Obviously you can afford to remodel your restaurant but you can spare anymore money for dry carrots? Your service is always great, but what happened to the authentic ambience of an American dinner? Oh well! Beggars can't be choosers. read more

Always have a good experience at Eat n Park! The day that we went it was very busy and we had to wait, they were short staffed. The staff that was there was definitely working hard! The perfect Sunday afternoon spot with delicious diner style food. The portions were generous and we enjoyed the meal. read more

An hour wait for an egg bagel that never showed up. Kept hearing about how the party of 20 was delaying food service, NMP. Never again will i waste an hour of my life waiting for mediocre food in a dirty restaurant. These reviews esp 'tiffanies' are obviously employees trying to bbolster this crappy restaurants ratings. . read more

Today I ordered the cod meal with a side of chicken noodle soup and broccoli, along with a side of strawberry pie. The cod was tiny and soaking in butter. There was virtually no seasoning on the fish as well, and I had to make salmon myself tonight because the fish was so disappointing for almost $11. Broccoli was fine, I appreciate that they do not add oil (or at least not a lot of oil). Favorite part of my meal was chicken noodle soup, which was warm. It barely had any chicken or vegetables but the noodles were pretty thick, which I like. I came to this Eat N Park to try their strawberry pie, and I was very disappointed in it. Tasted like it was stale and was about 50% whipped cream. Really would recommend staying away from the food I ordered. read more

I don't really review chain places unless I'm extremely unimpressed or extremely impressed. This ENP is great! We typically order late take-out once a month and the employees are always so friendly and sweet! Everything is packed neat and they always offer our pups some treats! Food is always good (can't really mess up diner food). Thanks for always giving us a pleasurable experience! read more

this is the classic for the kiddos and i. oleta is the best waitress. pretzel bites are the best menu item. yum

The restaurant manager at the Shaler Township location on (Thursday, March 25, 2021) was completely out of line with the conversation he was having with a patron sitting behind me in the booth. He was loudly voicing his political opinions as to why he could not find good help to work in the restaurant. He stated that "people are laying around the house collecting a lot of money in unemployment, receiving stimulus checks and therefore, do not want to work and why should they". I was completely offended by this as my own Corporate job was eliminated last year due to the pandemic. I spend every day/all day searching and applying for new positions, and it has been a long, very depressing and discouraging process. Unemployment (which I have been paying in to for the past 40+ years of employment) only provides me with a small amount of income, so it has been a hardship for me. Thankfully after several months of actively searching and interviewing for positions, I received a formal job offer from a company on this same day. I do not go to a restaurant to hear the manager complaining and voicing his political opinions to the customers. I'm sure he too has received the stimulus checks that were pushed out to all, and he has a full-time job. I am also sending this review to the Eat'n Park Corporate Executive Team - hopefully they will address this issue and stop this poor and unprofessional behavior from taking place going forward. This incident has been a very poor and unnecessary reflection on Eat'n Park's behalf. read more

I understand that they're low on staff. but I can see each individual person hustling at this location. Stop worrying about opening the salad bar again (even though we all love it) and start paying these waitresses more! read more

Best menu in Pittsburgh. No one compares. Plus the smiling cookie is adorable. Great for kids, moderate noise and great for groups. Eat n park is really the only way to go if you're hungry. read more

Eat n park has always been a place to go to grab a bite to eat. And no matter which one you go to it seems that the quaility of food is pretty consistent. The food was good which it always is but the reason i gave this Eat n Park 5 stars is because of service. From the moment we walked in to the hostesses that greeted us and our waitress who was awesome. Without getting descriptive i had an incident with my boy today. Lets just say his food didnt sit to well and the manager and waitress were very helpful and caring. And for that i thank them. I will definetly be back to this eat n park and recommend it to anyone read more

If you're into microwaved mediocre "American food" this is your spot. You can get better chicken tenders at most bowling alleys. I struggled to eat about 40% of my meal. Only because I was starving and it was 11pm. The chicken tenders were about 20% chicken filler and 80% hard breading with a dark color that was probably caused by old oil and the taste was as bad as it looked. The most disappointing part of this experience was the pie, which I originally went there for. It looked as if the waitress threw the pie against the wall and scooped it on a salad plate with a rake before she microwaved it for a minute too long. You're better off making a hungry man in the microwave then going to eat n park. Very very disappointing. They updated their menus and restaurants. But downgraded their actual food. 0-10 would recommend. Snapped a pic at the end when I decided I would warn any would be victims read more

Bridget is the best server ever. Omg. She takes care of our table better than my gram would have. She deserves everything in the world. Love you Grandma. read more

Eat n Park is a great Pittsburgh American classic restaurant. I have been eating here since I was a kid (seems like many moons ago). Stopped in to grab a Superburger, Fries, and Slaw (which is normally what I always get). Great staff and quick service. I highly recommend a visit if you happen to be in the area. read more

Eat 'n Park is a Pittsburgh staple. This location is open 24 hours - great for a late night stop coming home from the city. The food is pretty basic "diner" style food, nothing too bad, nothing too great. They have a pretty good breakfast menu, which is what I always go for. read more

I've had Sunday brunch here a few times with my friend and her son and we always have a good time. This location is clean, service is great. There is sometimes a wait but usually not more than a few minutes. The all you can eat brunch buffet has fried chicken and sides, eggs, French toast, soups and small salad bar. The bakery items are also pretty good. read more

I can not believe the awful experience we had at Eat n park on route 8 and Saxonburg today. First we wait 10 minutes at our table and My wife has to ask for a waitress and then my wife over hears the waitress (Amy)calling her a liar! We should have walked out then. But we ordered food and 30 minutes later still don't have it. Can't get coffee or water refill. The manager (Sam) was a joke. Like offering us free food that never showed up in the first place makes up for calling my wife a liar and the worst service we ever had. Last time ever going there. #eatnparknomore read more

Great service from start to finish. They even brought back the bruschetta chicken which is highly recommended. Great prices and had a really good time. Very clean also. read more

This is my favorite Eat'n Park....while it isn't perfect 100% of the time the servers are usually friendly and prompt, the food good. I've been coming here over 20 years and will continue to do so! read more

This place is the worst , third and last time here. I managed to get the same lousy waitress two out of three times. The other waitress while not as bad was still far from good. I came here because I like eat n park in general and this was on the way to my girls school I was hoping that I just caught them at bad times but after three in a row I would have to say finding a good time is as hard as finding the waitress. So order and never see the waitress until she brings out my daughters food. No food for me yet because it's just too hard to make an omelette apparently. read more

On December 30th I took my aunt out for breakfast. When I got out of my car I dropped my wallet in the parking lot and didn't realize it. I took her home and left to return an hour to my home. When I got home I realized my wallet was gone and it could only have been left at the restaurant. My aunt called and they found it! Her son picked it up and met me to retrieve it. When I checked the wallet ALL of my credit cards, insurance cards, 30,000 in Japanese Yen, and over $500.00 in cash HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED! My aunt's son (Hal) asked who turned it in so he could leave a reward, but they didn't know who it was. This has renewed my faith in humanity, and the honesty of the staff working that day! read more

Generally speaking, the Eat'n Park chain restaurants are a Pittsburgh classic, serving reasonable food at a low cost. I have dined at a minimum of six or seven different locations in and around the city, all with their different strengths and weaknesses. This location in Shaler, however, has provided more unsatisfactory dining experiences than others recently. A specific occurrence was during a Sunday brunch in late December. I was a member of a part of six, which included my parents, sister, and two uncles. The restaurant's occupancy level was not at it's highest; rather, it was about three-quarters full - typical for this late-morning time on a Sunday. We were seated quickly by a young, polite hostess. From this point, though, not much positivity came from the staff. After waiting about five minutes to give our drink order and another five minutes to receive them, my family and I ordered. Half of us, including myself, got the buffet, while the others order regular breakfast dishes. The buffet has many items and normally is a safe choice. On this day, everything was extremely dried out due to (what I presume was) a lack of turnover during the morning. One would expect with the amount of patrons more food would be coming "fresh" from the kitchen, but dishes were often left between a quarter and half full, which often consisted of rather "old" (in terms of food life-time) food to be gathered by customers. The lowest point of the meal came when my mother received her omelet, which was in reality eggs combined with cheese and raw vegetables (peppers, onions, etc.) on top. The omelet should not have included cheese, and obviously the vegetables should have at least been cooked, if not actually put in the omelet in addition. She had waited so long that the three of us who ordered the buffet were already done eating, and therefore, remaking the omelet seemed unreasonable for our time frame. The waitress seemed a bit short-tempered, perhaps an acceptable attitude, to a degree, when they appeared slightly understaffed and the kitchen is not giving quality support with wrong orders. When dining at establishments such as Eat'n Park, my expectations are not the same as a fine dining restaurant on Mount Washington - nor should they be. Nonetheless, I believe reasonably fresh, timely, and correct orders should be expected anywhere you're paying for food. Although I have not returned to an Eat'n Park since this time, it has not been on purpose, as the majority of experiences have been good even at this location. The next time I am looking for affordable food, I may steer-clear of this specific location until the staff is better prepared. However, Eat'n Park will always be an option. read more

We had a bad experience at this Eat'n Park tonight; we won't be going back. We waited a few minutes to place our order and our drinks came out quickly, but the food never came. After an hour passed, my husband went to the front because we couldn't find our waitress and told them to cancel our order. A minute or so later the manger came by our table to tell us he took care of cancelling our order, REALLY??? What an awful manager; he didn't apologize for the inconvenience or try to explain what happened. Eat'n Park needs to train their employees better. read more
