| - While visiting Pittsburgh, my wife and I stopped at King's, primarily for a scoop of their red-hot cinnamon ice cream. Sadly, Reinhold Ice Cream no longer produces the ice cream King's serves, and the new stuff tastes like it was once introduced to a red hot at a party five years ago.
Hard to argue with the prices: a cheese quesadilla is under $3. And the "Frownie" mascot, an unhappy brownie, is also available for dessert, alone or as part of a sundae. As Frownie says about being dismembered and devoured in the table card, "That's cold." The joke is funnier if you know that competitor Eat'n Park has a signature baked good, too, a "Smiley" cookie.
This location promises free wi-fi, but I had better luck with the drifitng signal from the motel next door.
