It's Smiley's Birthday! Enjoy 99-cent Kids' Meals!
We’ve also brought back our Stay Active Coloring Contest! Stop
in to any Eat’n Park to get a coloring sheet, where kids can illustrate how
they like to stay active. One winner
from every restaurant will receive a Backyard Activity Kit, filled with all the
makings of a fun, active summer – a basketball, jump rope, chalk, soccer ball,
hula hoop, wiffle ball and bat, football, Frisbee, beach ball, and sunscreen.
Plus, one lucky grand prize winner will take home four Smiley bikes, so the
whole family can stay active together.
Smiley will also
be celebrating his birthday with various friends and events around the city. On
Sunday, June 8, Smiley will be attending the Carnegie Library Reading
Extravaganza. In addition to cookie decorating, at 2:45 p.m., Smiley will don a
party hat and join the children on the front stairs of the library for
complimentary birthday cake and a birthday sing-along!
He’ll also be
spending time at the Pittsburgh Zoo during Eat’n Park Family Week, June 14 –
June 22 and making appearances at the Carnegie Science Center on June 15 and

The New Banksville Eat’n Park
Did you hear? We
have officially broken ground at our new Banksville Eat’n Park! That’s right; we’re building a completely new
Eat’n Park restaurant right next to our current one! Don’t worry; our current Banksville restaurant is still open 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week during the construction.

The all-new Banksville Eat'n Park will feature a spacious lobby and bakery, private dining room, more flexible seating for larger parties and families, and a bigger parking lot. We're also adding a pickup window, which means you'll be able to pick up your takeout order without leaving your car!

Our Famous Strawberry Pie: Celebrating 60 Years!
It's hard to believe we've been serving up Strawberry Pie for 60 years!
I’m Bill Moore - the Director of Safety and Security at Eat’n Park. I have a lot of great memories of Eat’n Park. My grandfather, Larry Hatch, founded Eat'n Park in 1949, so, as you may imagine, this company is an important part of my family’s history.
I started with the company in 1979 as a dishwasher, and I soon met a waitress who turned out to be the girl of my dreams. I married her 10 years later. My brother in-law met his wife while working at Eat'n Park, too. My wife's parents met at the Bridgeville Eat'n Park as teenagers. In the last 60 years, more than 22 members of my family have worked for Eat'n Park. In 2008, my son Ryan became the 4th generation of our family to work for the company.
I take great pride in my family’s history with Eat'n Park, but one of the greatest contributions my family has given Eat'n Park is the Strawberry Pie. My mother came up with the recipe in our kitchen at home. My father, Bob Moore, tested many types of strawberry glazes that were, in his words, "god-awful." He came home and asked my mom, Claire, if she could do better, and boy, did she ever! She made several pies and submitted them to our neighbors in Scott Township. When the comments came back - “too sweet,” “too tart,” etc., Mom hung in there to perfect the recipe. After quite a few rounds and many taste tests later, the neighbors finally all agreed that she had produced a delicious pie. I guess our guests agree, too. It’s become a favorite of so many people.
A little known fact about our Strawberry Pie is that Eat'n Park was one of the first places ever to receive fresh strawberries (or any other produce for that matter) by air freight. In 1962, Eat'n Park served fresh Strawberry Pie throughout the winter, with strawberries shipped from Plant City, Florida. At the time, this was unheard of. Another little known fact is that I make the best Strawberry Pie in the company. It must be in my genes!
