When it first opened on July 19, 1989, Snack-N-Pack was a

family affair. Original owners Karen, James, Kevin and Susan O’Donnell have all played major roles in the success of the restaurant that has become a Butler tradition. Starting with a staff of 10 and a

limited menu, it grew to include two stores. In 2008, the Alameda Plaza location was sold and no longer is a Snack-N-Pack. Karen owns and operates the original restaurant on

East Jefferson Street in downtown Butler. She has a dedicated staff of 25 to 30 employees and serves a full-service menu for eat-in or takeout. Having been born and raised in Butler, the brothers and sisters knew their town needed an eating establishment that appealed to all members of the family. The original menu was a collaboration of the owners and, though changes have been made through the years, the Snack-N-Pack favorites are still included in today’s menu. A popular sandwich is the Jim’s Delight, a Pittsburgh-style sandwich that includes your choice of meat topped with our marinated slaw, tomatoes and fresh-cut fries

sandwiched between thick-sliced bread. Another sandwich that is a big hit is the Steak Wedge,

Karen’s Way. Our munchies are hometown favorites, including jumbo wings and special

sauces, Snack-N-Pack fresh cut fries, super nachos and a Snack-N-Pack/Butler original:

pepperoni balls. Longtime employee and now retired pepperoni ball maker “Aunt Lorraine” Laconi contributed her own homemade sweet-and-sour house dressing which we still serve today. Fresh burgers, hot or cold heroes, great specialty sandwiches and salads, wedges, desserts, cold brews and Lil’ Brothers & Sisters are served daily at Snack-N-Pack. The restaurant is open seven days a week, lunch through late night and is smoke-free. You can watch a game on our three TVs, or we can pack your food to go for your home viewing. Snack-N-Pack is popular after a game, a show, a rehearsal or a meeting. In addition to being a popular eating and meeting spot, the store offers more than 200 packages of carryout beer including domestic, imported and micro brewed. Snack-N-Pack also is active in the community. It is an annual fund-drive participant for several charities, including the Relay for Life, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Butler County, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and Lifesteps. It also donates to many other local charities and organizations. Snack-N-Pack is “Where Friends and Family Meet to Eat!”
