6 Salad Bar Ideas To Completely Change the Way You Eat

Do you love Eat’n Park’s Salad Bar? Who doesn’t! Where else can you create salad combinations with a side of fruit and cup of soup?

But are you getting the most out of your Salad Bar experience? Do you crave new inventive Salad Bar recipes? Here are some of the best Salad Bar ideas that will completely change the way you eat.   

Create a Taco Salad   

Eat’n Park serves chili daily, so why not throw a scoop of chili on some mixed greens and black beans to make your own Taco Salad? Bonus: Don’t forget the cheddar cheese on top (available on the Salad Bar).   

Cheddar Cheese on Broccoli Soup  

Speaking of cheddar cheese! On Tuesdays, also known as Cream of Broccoli Day, sprinkle some cheddar cheese in your cup to make it Broccoli Cheddar Soup (gamechanger!).  While you’re at it, maybe toss a little bit more fresh broccoli in there for some crunch?  

Chicken Dinner + Salad Bar  

Wish you could add some chicken to your salad creation? When you order Chicken Tenders or Herb-Crusted or Grilled Chicken Dinner entrĂ©e, add the Salad Bar for just $4.99 and turn your salad into a chicken salad! Slice up your meal and add the pieces to the mix!   

Liven Up the Salad Bar Pasta Salad  

Add bacon bits or ham cubes to the Salad Bar Pasta Salad to give it an extra kick!  

Replicate a Popular Flavor   

Are you craving a Cobb Salad? Then you’ll want to start with iceberg lettuce, bacon bits, diced eggs, and tomatoes topped with blue cheese dressing.  

Hankering for a Greek Salad? Fill your plate with mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese or bleu cheese, black olives, and croutons with balsamic dressing.   

Have the Salad Bar with Every Order  

Did you know you can swap any meal side for the Salad Bar for $4.49? Yep! You can also add the Salad Bar to any meal for just $4.99!   

Order the Salad Bar when you dine in at most Eat’n Park locations!

Making an Impact: Caring for Kids 2025

Last week, our 47th Annual Caring for Kids campaign concluded, and we want to thank all the team members and guests who once again came together to raise money for children’s hospitals and charities across our footprint! Year after year, you floor us with your generosity!

2025 Caring for Kids Total 

For this year’s campaign, we’re excited to announce that we raised $365,489 for 24 local children’s hospitals, bringing our grand total to more than $12 million raised since 1979!  

Caring for Kids Ford Bronco Winner 

In addition to our guests and team members, we’d like to say a huge “Thank You!” to our generous partners, especially Neighborhood Ford Store. Their donation of a 2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend helped us raise more than $120,000 through raffle ticket sales.   

Santa came early for Ernest from Glenshaw, the lucky winner of that brand-new Ford Bronco, who purchased his ticket at the Waterworks Eat'n Park! Congratulations!  

Who Caring for Kids Benefits 

Each year, Caring for Kids benefits over a dozen hospitals thanks to our team members and guests across the 11 states in which we do business. This year was no different!   

Our largest donation benefits UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and we were proud to present that contribution live on the KDKA Free Care Fund Telethon.   

The efforts of our team members outside of the Greater Pittsburgh Area stretched from Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital in Portland, ME to Comer Children’s Hospital in Chicago, IL, and many others in between!  

Thank You!  

Thank you again to everyone who contributed to Caring for Kids. You truly make a difference in our communities!
