She made the party so much easier on me and let me focus on my daughter and family and friends. Thanks Moonlite!“

“Big portions, home cooked food. We go once every few months and I've never had a meal I didn't like. The French onion soup and the pecan balls are my favorites. Their pizza crust is probably the only thing I avoid; it's not bad, but it's not good.“

The buffet dinner was one of the best I have eaten with plenty of great food. The two servers did wonders filling plates and seeing to the needs of all. I understood the establishment worked well with the event organizers. I would not hesitate to attend another function here again.“

They were delicious. The biscuits were good. The baked potato was done well. All of the staff were friendly . It’s worth a return visit to try the Salmon Bowl or maybe the flounder.“

Recommend calling ahead, even the day before during Lent . Cash only. Oh, and the hot sauce is to die for! 😋“

“We were in Pittsburgh for a few days to attend a concert and learn the city. After the casino, a concert, and a couple hungover nights we were hankering for some breakfast diner comfort food before the 5 hour drive home. We scouted a few local antique shops and stumbled upon this place searching for quick food nearby…boy am I GLAD WE DID! We walk in and grab a booth seat, an employee’s children are playing on their iPads and singing next to us. Everyone enjoying a late Saturday coffee and hearty breakfast. I had the 2 eggs, meat, potatoes, and toast special. My girlfriend had the western omelette and Texas toast. Everything was amazing!!!!(imagine Waffle House but you’ve got the worst hangover ever and your Nana sprinkles a little extra love in there) The bacon is the greatest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.point.blank.period. The potatoes are exactly how my grandmother chopped and smashed them when she friend them in the cast iron skillet. My girlfriend’s western omelette was exactly how it should be, fluffy bright yellow egg with tons of flavor aided by salt and pepper to your liking and cooked yet firm produce mixed even throughout. AMERICA PLEASE KEEP THESE TREASURES ALIVE!!!!WE NEED THEM!!!!“

I would definitely recommend Rene’s in the future.“

“We were looking for a place to host a surprise birthday party. Hills was very affordable and the whole process was pretty stress free. The food was good and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely use Hills again for any event. Thank you to Hills and the staff for everything.“

“To Randy Kovac, All I have to say is BS, to your review, and how could you see the bartender ignoring your call?? Lmao. If you was there and needed cigarettes, no matter what time or whoever was there, employees or customers. And needed cigarettes, you would have received cigarettes even if you didn't have any money. So why don't you say anything about you abusing dogs? Or what about someone saying something about you that's not true on the internet?? Wouldn't like that would you.. and the animal abuse is true. Ask WTAE, CHANNEL 4, WITH THE ONLY HELICOPTER IN PITTSBURGH“

“My Husband and I eat here often for breakfast Friday mornings date time for us. We usually ask for the back near a window mainly because Sharon King serves this area she is always so happy and even when we we sometimes bring the granddaughter goes out of her way to make sure we have everything we need!“

“My parents were visiting from Tampa, Florida and chose Eat’n Park in Belle Vernon to celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary. While the meal itself was fairly unremarkable, the level of service we received from our server, Mia, was truly exceptional and deserves recognition.

From the moment she greeted our table, Mia demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, attentiveness, and hospitality. One member of our party has food allergies, and Mia handled the situation with impressive knowledge, diligence, and care. She took every concern seriously, answered questions confidently, and ensured that we felt completely comfortable and reassured throughout the dining experience.

What distinguished Mia most was her extraordinary attention to detail. Drinks were consistently refreshed, dishes were cleared promptly, and every request was met with efficiency and genuine enthusiasm. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and maintained a warm, welcoming presence throughout the evening.

As a newer server, Mia’s performance was especially impressive. She carried herself with the poise, competence, and confidence of someone with years of experience. More importantly, she brought a level of sincerity and kindness that cannot be taught. She made my parents feel celebrated on their anniversary and elevated what would have otherwise been an ordinary dinner into a genuinely memorable occasion.

In an industry where exceptional service can be difficult to find, Mia exemplifies what outstanding hospitality should look like. She is an invaluable asset to Eat’n Park, and I sincerely hope her dedication, professionalism, and commitment to customer care are recognized by management. Employees of her caliber are rare, and she left a lasting impression on our entire family.

Thank you, Mia, for making my parents’ 36th anniversary celebration so special.“
