| - We dropped in for Thursday breakfast at Eat 'n Park in Parma, the official home of the Smiley Cookies, which are hard sugar cookies frosted with smileys and peace symbols offered in several colors. Fresh baked pies made on the premises are also sold here. This location has a good sized carpeted clean dining room. At this location, the breakfast buffet is offered on Tuesdays and on the weekends. I've also dined at another location in Pittsburgh, where they offer buffets 24/7 on the weekends.
We were seated promptly in a comfortable booth and started out with hot coffees. My friend thought the coffee had a weird taste and told our server who brought out fresh brewed cup moments later. We ordered 2 Original Breakfast Smiles ($3.99 each on weekdays), which includes 2 eggs (we got egg beaters for a small $0.30 upcharge), 3 pieces of crispy bacon or sausage, and choice of hash browns, home fries, or potato pancakes, and toast. My friend was able to substitute potatoes for a fresh fruit cup at no extra charge. Breakfast was served to us in under 10 minutes. The food was pretty decent tasting, standard breakfast fare. The egg beaters were soft and fluffy, the sausage patties were firm and juicy, the bacon was crispy, and the deep fried potato pancakes were crispy and greasy. The fresh fruit cup had grapes, melon, and cantaloupe.
The service was good and we were offered and given refills on the hot coffee by our waiter and another waitress as they walked by our table. Before leaving, I did purchase a dozen frosted Smiley Cookies ($6.99) for the long road trip down I-71.
