| - I haven't been to the E'n P in awhile, but I used to come here about once a month with a Meetup group on Sun. evenings for dinner. I've been here both before and after the remodel, and I agree with other reviewers that, though the place looks snazzier, the food hasn't improved. Service has always been friendly, if slow.
If you're looking for basic diner fare or late night munchies, the E'n P fits the bill well. Having said that, you can tell that most of the food here is frozen or straight out of a container. I've never ordered any of the breakfast specials, which seem to be quite popular, but I have ordered sandwiches and entrees, and they've all been pretty salty and flavorless, akin to cafeteria food. The salad bar is usually a pretty safe bet, and the one thing they seem to get right is the potato soup, which comes with it. Thinking that diner desserts are usually good even if the food isn't that great, I once tried a slice of strawberry cream pie once at the Waterfront location, but unfortunately, it failed to impress me, being of similar quality to the food.
E'n P is a great place to come with kids, older relatives, large groups that include picky eaters, and drunk people. Other than that, you'd do well to pass it up and explore the plethora of better and more interesting dining options in the neighborhood. 2.5 stars, only because I think the smiley cookies are cute.
