Came here last week with my brother and was very pleasantly surprised. Started with wedding soup and then had their chili, both very good. We both Ordered fried shrimp and onion rings for entrées and they were excellent! Some of the best fried shrimp I've had in a long time and that includes upscale, seafood restaurants. Onion rings were not only cooked perfectly, but no onion was ever pulled out of the breading shell Perfect. Service was excellent read more

I am updating my review because the manager did reach out to me and explained the situation. Even restaurants have a bad day. She was committed to working through this with her staff. Thank you. I understand and of course Eat N Park is a Pittsburgh staple so I'll be back. read more

Ordered bowl of chili - upon eating a few bites I barfed aggressively - wth? Also had ordered strawberry salad it was sub par I'm still in shock how awful it was read more

Absolutely the worst service by the most surly server that I have ever experienced. Normally this is a pretty good Eat n Park location that I frequent several times per month. I felt compelled to write this review entirely due to this server. Extremely slow, extremely inattentive and rude. She was actually actively hostile. It was practically an assault on her entire section. Banging plates, surly attitude. Orders were incorrect. No refills. If this were the first time I visited this location I would never consider going back. The only positive part of this experience was watching the facial expressions of our fellow patrons also subject to her abuse. Pure comedy gold. P.S. - Dear management. Her name is Sierra although im quite certain you are already aware of this. read more

To be completed honest I'm not 100% if this was the exact location we went to as we were on the drive home to NJ and stopped in but it's a chain so. Never ate there, it reminded me of a Cracker Barrel but the menu options especially for the kids was huge!! They both loved their food and for $4? I think they got a drink and a cookie at the end. What a bargain! Coloring menus etc. the staff were very friendly. I highly recommend the pretzel appetizer. So good and the honey mustard that came with it. Yum! It was clean and we were seated immediately. Definitely recommend, wish we had some closer to us! read more

We came here for an early lunch and left disappointed. Our server wasn't very friendly at all. She was friendly to other tables, though, so I'm not sure what it was about us that she didn't like. Either way, it gave us the feeling that we were inconveniencing her by being at one of her tables. It wasn't a comfortable feeling or experience. Kiddo liked her cheeseburger, even though it wasn't the one she ordered. She ordered the cheeseburger and got the Super Burger. But at least it was prepared the way she wanted it, so that's what matters. It's why there's a two-star rating and not just one star. I got the salad bar. That's where the disappointment comes in. The lettuce and broccoli were fine. Everything else, not so much. The cucumbers and mushrooms looked like they were left over from the day before. It was too early in the day for them to have been that discolored. They tasted like they were left over and not cut fresh, too. There weren't any labels on anything, so I'm not sure what the brown stuff was. I'm assuming it was supposed to be chocolate pudding. It looked, however, like poo. Disgusting. Three soups were offered, but I can only speak for the chicken noodle soup. It wasn't hot. It was warm. Soups need to be hot, especially on cold days. And there were some kind of mini muffins, but I couldn't tell you what kind they were. They weren't blueberry or chocolate chip, I know that much. I took a few apart and still couldn't tell what they were. I couldn't tell after tasting one, either. Only thing my research found was that they didn't taste good. One bite was enough for the mystery muffins. I doubt we'll be back anytime soon. read more

Tori was our server and she went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable!

Wonderful restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. Hostess very welcoming, Hayley our server was excellent. The baked cod dinner was delicious and the soup and salad bar was more than sufficient with ample choices. Three soups to choose from every day; ours were chili, chicken noodle, and potato. Give Eat N Park a try! read more

Eat n Park has the absolute best pies. The strawberry one is my favorite. They have so many other desserts as well. They have reasonably priced food options that are also equally as tasty. Check them out. We love the diner like vibe and the iconic smily cookies. They have parking on site, a drive through window and a buffet as well. Pittsburgh staple. read more

Eat'n Park - Strawberry pie - Diners Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

I would give a zero star but clearly can't. Forgot multiple sides to our food, every order. Called 3 times, they answered and hung up each time. 3rd time, claimed they didn't have our order. After 15 mins on hold they said they found the order. I'm 9 months pregnant so I really wanted my food. I offered to drive to pick up the sides. When I got there, they gave me the sides and the manager said "they're just sides I don't know what the big deal is"...... we paid for them!!!!!! read more

If you've never tasted the Chicken Parmigiana at Eat N Park, I strongly suggest you do so. It is a breaded Chicken Breast sitting on Penne Pasta with your choice of marinara or meat sauce. I personally enjoy the meat sauce better. For this restaurant not being an Italian eatery, the food would surprise you. The meat sauce is fantastic with plenty of ground hamburger throughout. It's served with a slice of Texas garlic toast and a side. On Thursday the soup of the day is Wedding Soup which is a direct compliment to the meal. I'm 6'4" tall at 317 pounds and I leave with a full belly sometimes needing a container to take home the leftovers. They've done their homework on this Italian dish, it is truly an Italian festival to your palate, and enjoyable meal promising to give you the Village of Italy dancing in your mouth. The service is always friendly, the hostess pleasant, and the array of deserts to choose from, make Eat N Park my go to restaurant when I'm hungry because the portions are true to the picture on the menu depicting an explanation to the choice you make. My recommendation is try it for yourself, you will not be disappointed. The Ambiance of the interior has been completely redone giving a brighter cleaner look to give comfort unlike most darkened gloomy restaurants whereas you barely see the menu. Hey what are you waiting for? Take the family to dinner tonight, take em to breakfast or lunch for that matter, Eat N Park's menu serves you what you want when you want it. Bon appetite enjoy your meal. read more

Really would do 3.5 stars. My pot roast was incredibly salty, as if someone had salted it once and forgot they did, so did it a second time. The waitress walked passed me with my stuff to talk to another table twice (example - ask for sour cream for my potato, she comes out with sour cream and walks right past my table, and instead of hand it to me, she walks over and talks to another table, and then drops it off at me on the way back) But she was friendly and the appetizers and desserts were great. I'll come here again. read more

I ordered breakfast takeout. It was ready on time, and I tipped 25 percent and added a few extra dollars at the window. I asked for salt and pepper, and was given it in the bags used for the cookies. Really, no packets for takeout? I went down the road a bit and pulled over to eat, no silver ware for an egg dish. This is really ridiculous. I used to like the Edgewood Town center EnP, and used the takeout for convenience. Too bad that they closed. read more

Jamie D. Is a friendly and helpful waitress. She brought our food in a timely manner. The food was delicious, too!

Went for Breakfast with my mother. We both got seated fairly quickly but it went downhill once we ordered our food. We got there around 9:15 and got drinks, but our food didn't come out until 40 minutes later. All of our main dishes were hot but our side potato's were cold! My mother ordered the country fried steak with over medium eggs, those ALSO were cold! Our waitress had the nerve to ask her if she wanted the eggs and potato's "reheated". My mother had to insist she wanted them remade. The potato's came out hot which was great! But then her eggs came back overcooked and hard! If you're coming here for breakfast, just stick with the breakfast buffet instead of ordering off the menu, they cared a lot more about restocking that instead of attending to people who ordered off the menu. I had noticed this with other tables as well. read more

Some of the ratings weren't great, but also outdated. I saw an add on the window for strawberry pie, & no Eat 'n Park any longer where I live. It seems relatively new, or remodeled. Lots of tables & booths. There is a nice soup & salad bar. Great food. I had the baked cod. Delicious! Amazing pies. Friendly, efficient, courteous service. I plan to return. read more

We were visiting from out of town and decided to stop in for breakfast. What a great experience and delicious food. Timothy was our server. He was friendly, fast, and attentive. Glad to have healthier options to choose from. Veggie omelet, rye toast, and fruit. We also tried the eggs over easy, bacon, and fruit. Everything was cooked perfectly. Glad we stopped in. Great breakfast and service! We thought the portion size was generous. I typically take photos, but forgot. We recommend this place and it must be a go to place as the breakfast bar was super busy. read more

Got the salad bar & whale of a cod. The food was great & the salad bar is always one of the best in the city. My only issue was how long it took for our order. It was just me & 1 other person & she got the salad bar with fried pickles (also good with ranch). We had to wait almost 45mins read more

I went into this restaurant for a quick dinner on Friday evening. There was no line and half the tables were empty. At the hostess stand I was told that it would be a ten to fifteen minute wait. Ok .I'll wait. By the time passed a line of about 20 people had formed behind me. They all agreed to the wait. After 15 minutes the hostess sat me at a 4 top table. I was alone and didn't need a large table but, Ok. So I sat there for about ten minutes and no server showed up. Finally I flagged down a food server, turns out I was in her station. I asked if I could order, she seemed disinterested but, she took my small order on a plain piece of paper. Not the usual order pad, but ok. I also asked for a glass of water . She left and never came back. I sat there for twenty minutes, nothing. The folks that came in after me were seated and and in some cases eating dinner. I didn't even have a glass of water. Then I saw my lazy server pandering to a couple across from me. She was going to save them the trip to the register and take their check up. I can't get a glass of water. So I'm not the type of person to raise a stink. I just got up and left. The hostess asked me why I was leaving and I told her. I understand the labor shortages of the restaurant industry now. But, my feeling on the subject is that management should leave a station empty rather than waste a paying customers time. This stupid server was not bright enough to know that I am a big tipper and a former food server so I know the problems and empathize with them . But there is never an excuse for laziness. read more

Called 9 pm for take out order. Said 20-25 minutes Arrived at 9:25. Waited 10 minutes At drive thru window. When nobody came called to let them know I was at window for my order.

While we were in Western Pennsylvania, I wanted to be sure to try an Eat'n Park. Eat'n Park is a traditional American coffee shop chain, right out of the 1950s and 1960s. It's not retro, it's what retro themed restaurants are trying to emulate. It's the original. Eat'n Park was a major East Coast franchisee of Bob's Big Boy until the 1970s. Bob's was a place my family would always go in California in the 1960s and I loved the Big Boy Hamburger. So a chance to experience that ambiance again was very enticing, perhaps clouding my perceptions. The outside of this Eat'n Park location has been modernized, but inside was a Googie style coffee shop that looked just like a Bob's! The menu offers straightforward American food with no pretentions. I had to have the Original Superburger Deal. The cheeseburger was close, very close, to a Big Boy. My wife had one of the more contemporary burger offerings, a Classic Black Angus Cheeseburger. I was satisfied, though a burger from Red Robin or Cheeseburger in Paradise is a better choice. (Yes, they are better, but this was a nostalgia meal for me.) We both had Salad Bar. The Soup and Salad Bar was nice, with a variety of different vegetables and salad toppings available. We shared a slice of Key Lime Pie for dessert, and it was very good. On a second visit, we came to try breakfast. This was very good, better than the burger. Both my wife and I ordered omelettes. I tried the Western Omelette and found it quite satisfying. read more

This location need serious work. Maybe an overhaul in management? Perhaps better cooks? Stopped last night (Sunday evening) with a friend. Kind waitress, but food was terrible. Potato soup brought by waitress was cold. Asked for it to be reheated. Then ordered the Mile-high meatloaf dish and it was COLD: bread, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, onion rings...ALL COLD. This place wasn't even busy when we stopped in at 7:30pm. Sad. Won't be back, at least at this Monroeville location. Do better, Eat n Park. It's not that difficult to serve HOT food to your customers. read more

Maybe it was just a bad day, bad time, whatever...but ugh. Seated okay, waitress got our drinks and orders quickly enough. I got the breakfast buffet. Mistake. Walked up to an unappetizing appearing, unkempt and greasy looking hot mess. The food was at best bland. Bacon and sausage with grease thick on the bottom. Sausage gravy was tasteless. Biscuits were actually tough and chewy. The boy got a Philly Cheesteak omelet. He said it tasted okay, but it was delivered with wheat, not white bread. Plopped on the table and off she went without a chance to correct the order. I guess the place was crowded and too busy to attend to details like accuracy, or checking back if everything was okay. Or coffee refills. The men's room was atrocious, the floor by the urinals a swimming pool of piss. The server made sure the change didn't include any singles. The crafty ones do that when presented the opportunity, to press the bigger tip. Another place we're done with, not that we frequent it often anyway. Ugh... read more

Two days in row, pleasant waitress but, I will eat tuna out of a pouch instead of going back. I don't know if it is the kitchen staff or a combination of slow met lazy in the back of a car and 9 months later had baby shitty or they emptied out the local jails and they all work at this one diner. Took forever to get our food. Then it was the wrong food... no one there seemed to have a good experience. Try some place else. read more

Food was a average meal. I was shocked at the bill at &49.00. $3.99 for a ice tea. I always believed it was a less expensive place to dine but prices have gone wild. read more

I one star the balsamic crusted chicken salad. There was so much balsamic glaze on the salad it really was not edible. I ate it even though it was truly terrible. It was as if they emptied the bottle of glaze on the salad. I ate an American classic hamburger there one time and it was fine. I would encourage you to avoid that salad. read more

We came here on a Sunday morning knowing full well we would have to battle the after-church crowd for a table. Thankfully we managed to arrive at the very beginning of that rush. Our wait for a table was ~15minutes or so. (By the time we were leaving around 11:30, it was an hour wait or so). We were sat a little early- our table still needed wiped and sat. The host was quick to do so. Sadly, we sat next to a rather large party, so I was constantly having to shift out of the way for the server on the party and the customers. A little annoying, but not a big deal. We ordered their peach iced tea to start, and both my friend and I ordered the original breakfast smile. It comes with eggs, toast, potatoes, and sausage. Our waitress really was only here to get our food order and to drop off the food. I needed syrup and had to wait a while until I could snag her to grab some. We were cashed out before i was even done with eating. I understand that you're busy, but I'm still paying to eat my food.. why did I have to feel like I was rushed? That was really annoying to me. I would understand dropping the check off, but completely closing out our table was a little much in my opinion. I recognize the signs of "get out so I can get a new table".. Other than that, the food was pretty decent. Exactly what you expect from a diner. And it came out in a decent amount of time, giving how busy it was there. I'm just glad we beat the TRUE after church crowd. read more

Pregnant wife asked to be seated next to the salad bar, as this was the sole reason we visited. Several booths were available, but this request was ignored and we were seated at a table on the opposite side of the building in a section where a party of 7 was just seated. We were not consulted if we prefer booth/table. Wife decided to choose an app for dinner as she could not withstand several trips across the building for the salad bar. Waiter promptly attended to us, and food was served in a reasonable time. Quality of food was good. No complaints about him. read more
