Evolution of Eat'n Park Desserts
Can you imagine life without Eat’n Park desserts? It’s just not as sweet (or delicious)! For decades, we've been honored to be your dessert destination after high school football games, movies, shows, and more!
And our desserts have evolved over the years, starting with our Strawberry Pie that our founder’s daughter, Claire Moore, perfected in her Scott Township kitchen in 1954!
Filled with two pints of strawberries, Strawberry Pie was monumental for a variety of reasons, but one of them includes Eat’n Park being one of the first places to ever receive fresh strawberries by air freight. In 1962, the Strawberry Pie was served in the winter by shipping strawberries from Plant City, Florida.

Along with Strawberry Pie, we’ve had plenty of desserts and sweets since we opened in 1949 — milkshakes, sundaes, Grilled Stickies, you name it! — but it wasn’t until 1986 that we introduced our bakery.
Yep, for the first time, you could take Eat’n Park bakery items to go from our bakery case, including pies like Lemon Meringue, Apple, and more!
We also introduced another game-changing bakery item in 1986...our Smiley Cookie! Then-CEO Jim Broadhurst enjoyed a similar sweet treat as a boy in his hometown of Titusville and decided to bring that taste of nostalgia to Eat’n Park restaurants.
Since 1986, every child who visits Eat’n Park leaves with a FREE Smiley Cookie, and today we offer a variety of Smiley styles, including Bunny Cookies, Reindeer Cookies, and more!
Celebrate 75 years of Eat’n Park and desserts when you take a bite into one of our sweet treats.
