| - This Eat n Park location is definitely worthy of a review! A popular chain restaurant in the Pittsburgh region, you can expect a short list of lackluster reviews for these types of restaurants.
However, when I decided to grab a quick lunch with my (small) immediate family of 13 members with 5 children under 6 (yikes!), and was provided with such great customer service, I feel I have to give a good shout out for this location.
You can imagine all the good ole stink eyes, sighs, and raised attitudes of hostesses and fellow eaters as a group this size with "well behaved children" enters the restaurant, right? But to the contrary, we were greeted with warm personalities and smiles. :-)
A great feature of this location is that they have a separate room that can fit, I say, about 30 people that can be closed off from the rest of the dining area. Luckily for us, it wasn't being used at the time of our arrival and we were quickly seated in about 5 minutes! (Nice, right?) It also looks like this location has been recently renovated and it looks fresh, clean, and new.
Our waitress, simply put, was a miracle worker and a friendly character with the kids. I was pretty impressed with the wait staff and their welcoming attitudes here. It provided a happier atmosphere for everyone.
You get the quality of food for what you pay for at Eat n Park. For our entire group, it was around $100, which is awesome! For myself, I go for a fresh salad and a hot cup of soup from the salad bar for my meal.
My only complaint here, and I was originally going to give 4 stars instead of 5, is that they were missing and running low on some important choices from the salad bar. You can't make a salad (from a salad bar) if you don't have any lettuce! :-/ Unless you're boycotting leafy greens for some reason. Fortunately, in a quick swoop, the lettuce replenisher saved the day and we were all able create the salads of our liking. I justified the quick feet and replenishment of the workers to give it the 5-star rating.
They say Eat n Park is the place for smiles, and I definitely walked out with a smile on my face. (Don't forget about the smiley cookies!) They provided heart shaped shaped ones for February. I'd say pick one up to share with someone you love, but let's be honest... you may want to grab two, because you're going to devour it. ;-)
