The Worst Eat N Park ever

So we arrived back from the 'Burgh safely, if somewhat later than orignally expected.

Now what follows, boys, girls and strange people who come across my blog from afar, is a cautionary tale. A tale of desperation and settling for mediocrity, all in the name of hunger. And damn Sundays. The Goddess didn't rest that day, I don't see why anyone else should.

Now, what the hell is Suzanne babbling about? And why is this blog entry entitled the Worst Eat N Park ever? Well I shall tell you now.

On our way back from Pittsburgh, we realized that by the time we got to Brookville, which is approximately the halfway point of the trip and has lots of restaurants directly off of our route, many would probably be closed as it was Sunday. So we started watching the exits on 28 N, looking for an Eat N Park, a Kings, something like that. So we see an exit with a sign for McDonalds, Arbys and Eat N Park and get off there. First off, when I see sign for a restaurant off an exit, I want it to be at the end of the exit, or at least within sight of it. This was not. It was up a hill and around a bend, almost 2 miles from the actual exit. The restaurant was also located on a side road that ran parallel to the main road, which was nearly impossible to tell in the dark. I went to turn left and discovered that, luckily there was no one coming behind me so I could get back into my own lane and out of the way of oncoming traffic. When we went in, I could tell it was a little run down. Seats that were split open, and the whole place felt a little dark. Maybe I'm comparing it to the Eat N Park in Reno, PA, which has always been nice and clean, with lots of fake, but tasteful, green plants. The waitresses were all dressed in Steelers attire, because it was a Sunday and we were less than 20 minutes outside of Pittsburgh. Both the hostess and the waitress seemed like they were in a hurry. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli, Jeff and Jamie both had burgers. When our food came out, there was no broccoli on my dinner because they were out. Now normally at a restaurant, as soon as they know they are out of something they will either tell you right when you order, or come back out and let you know, and ask if you want to change your order. This waitress basically came out handed out the plates, said, "We were out of broccoli, is that okay?" I said, Sure, because I was hungry. But I had really been looking forward to the broccoli, so I was disappointed. And I thought the waitress had kind of an attitude. I will say there coffee was all right, Jamie and I both had some to go, a mocha something and I had a vanilla capuccino. But this was the Eat N Park in Natrona Heights. I do not recommend it. At All.

The rest of the drive home was uneventful. Jeff, Jamie and I all got home safe and sound.

Oh and Jamie is my girlfriend now. Nya nya nya nya nah nah. :P

Merry Part and Blessed Be
