| - I'd been staying away from EnP for a while as the Pittsburgh dining scene has grown, but they do remain one of the few 24-hour eateries, and the redesign of the facade got me curious.
So what's the dining experience like? Solidly OK. It's not great food, but it's not bad. I do think you can get better diner food, cheaper, in a lot of places around town. But at 3AM? Especially if you're not in a state to drive to Denny's down on McKnight? This always has been, and remains, a decent choice.
The service is hit-or-miss, but usually fine. It more depends on the clientele that might be there on any given night. The more jags who have come to eat, the longer it'll take for your coffee to be refreshed. I don't envy the waitstaff's plight.
The quesadilla is serviceable, as is the turkey club on rye. You can't go wrong with any of the fried stuff, either -- cheesesticks, fries, et al.
Honestly? The redesign of this place is purely cosmetic. This is the same Eat n Park you remember from high school, minus the smoking.
A parting note: the men's urinal was shaped like the Triforce. But whether that constitutes an endorsement or a condemnation is really up to you.
