Fresh, Local Produce Has Arrived at Eat'n Park!

Thanks to the many local farmers who provide fresh produce daily for our restaurants - like the Wiers, McQuiston, and King families. You'll find their fresh produce on our new Farm to Table menu, in items like our popular Chicken Bruschetta and new Farmer's Market Pasta. Fresh & local - that always makes us smile!

Eat'n Park Wins National Restaurant Association Restaurant Neighbor Award

The Restaurant Neighbor Award is given to companies that demonstrate outstanding service efforts in the communities that they serve. We were selected because of our fundraising efforts through our Caring for Kids campaign - something that our team members have put an enormous amount of time and dedication into. Since 1979, our restaurant team members have poured their hearts into raising money for local children's hospitals. In those 30+ years, the campaign has raised more than $8 million for sick children and their families.
