I recently went to a King's Family Restaurant and encountered a huge problem! It wasn’t the service or the atmosphere but what was missing, THE FROWNIE. I stopped there so my husband could get an "Angry Mob" which is/was a massive icecream sundae covered with Frownie Brownies and my son wanted to buy his girlfriend a Frownie T-Shirt like her grandma had when she was a little girl, but no. That was not possible because the new owners decided to do away with the Frownie Brownie.
I know with new owners come changes but all the Manager could do was parrot some corporate slogan about making a King's a "Real Pittsburg Restaurant" in spite of the fact we were not in Pittsburgh but Bentleyville, PA and the restaurant I usually frequent is in Wintersville Ohio. He did not even offer contact information and acted as if it was done deal. How can it be when so many others must love the Frownie too and we are not even from the midwest!
So what is the answer to making Kings into a "Real Pittsburg" restaurant destroying a “Real Pittsburg Icon”?
I can only hope that in revamping what was already a fantastic diner that the new owners listen to THEIR customers and SAVE FROWNIE!
Come on Pittsburgh and all you other lovers of the Frownie, let's make our voices heard!

I was just reading through the comments and realized how many people think about that specific fudge frosting texture as much as I do. It is honestly so wild that they think replacing an icon with a generic brownie makes anything better but the silence from corporate is honestly just giving us more fuel to keep talking about why this matters.

I never thought I would see this much energy behind a brownie but here we are and it honestly makes me want to go buy a dozen of them if I actually could. This is just wild because I remember sitting at the counter feeling completely ignored and now I feel like we might actually have a fighting chance to get the Frownie back on the menu where it belongs.

Please bring the Frownie back! Went there to pick up the pity party to bring home to Mi a few years ago. So disappointed they no longer existed. Not everyone wants a Smiley cookie from Eat-n-Park. The Frownie was a great alternative that actually makes you smile and laugh when you come in with a frown. LONG LIVE THE FROWNIE! !
This is an outrage! I came home from North Carolina and was disappointed to find that frownies have been killed. I will not be coming back to Kings Diner.
Both my daughter and I really enjoyed the Frownies. Besides being fun, they're pretty good (MUCH better than a smiley cookie from Eat N Park, IMO), and provided a nice, but not too big, treat.
On our way to WV last summer, stopping near Pittsburgh for a Frownie was a must. When we walked in we immediately noticed the absence of our favorite surly dessert, and begrudgingly ate there anyway. It'll never be the same, and we won't be stopping at King's again unless we see Frownies plastered all over the place.
I don't even live in the area Kings is in, but when I visited Pittsburg recently, I was upset about the frownies missing. SAVE FROWNIE!
Bring them back
Good experience. Good food. Friendly staff. Bring back the fun.

Always stopped in to King's to get frownies and frownies stuff while traveling thru PA...now I can't and won't be back until they bring back Frownies!
