8 Reasons Why Kids Love Eat’n Park
You know that Eat’n Park’s the Place for Smiles. But Eat’n Park is also the Place for Kids!
Our family restaurant welcomes kids each and every day with kid-friendly meals, drinks, and of course our Smiley Cookie for dessert. In fact, Eat’n Park frequently wins awards as one of the best restaurants for families.
Here’s Why Kids Love Eat’n Park:
1. Smiley always makes them Smile. Our cookie mascot Smiley will sometimes make appearances at restaurants, even in statue form. Every summer, families can follow Smiley via our Find Smiley page and attend events where he’ll be. Watch kids' faces light up when they spot Pittsburgh’s most famous cookie.
2. The kids’ menu has something for every kind of eater. From chicken tenders to spaghetti, every little food critic leaves with a Smile. Plus, parents do, too, since kids’ meals start at $3.99 (yep, really).
3. They can order a Jr. Superburger just like Mom and Dad’s. It makes them feel like a grownup!
4. Speaking of Smiles, all kids get a free Smiley Cookie at the end of their meal. Yep, kids have been enjoying this sweet treat after their meal for nearly 40 years.
5. Cozy booths make sitting down for a meal easy. Let’s face it: Getting your little one to sit down for a meal can be a challenge. Luckily, we have cozy booths and child seats to make them comfortable.
6. Our team members make kids feel extra special. Whether they’re part of the wait staff or kitchen, each Eat’n Park team member recognizes what a Smile can do for a child.
7. Simple takeout! Both parents and kids can agree: Sometimes it’s more fun to take Smiles to go.
8. Kids can enjoy the Salad Bar for a discount. Kids 10 and under can enjoy salad, fruit, and soup for just $7.49 and kids under 3 can enjoy it for FREE with an adult purchase of the Salad Bar.
