KINGSTON, LUZERNE COUNTY- There's one happy Steelers fan at Sweet Treet restaurant in Kingston: owner Jim Greer. Greer says, "Now I need to make room for the sixth super bowl plaque."

Greer is a huge Steelers fan. The walls are filled with Steelers memorabilia. The Pittsburgh transplant says the Super Bowl win was, well, sweet! Greer says, "They re just a good team that like to, you know, they play hard."
The special at Sweet Treet is a $1.59. Greer was slapping the pancakes on the grill and serving them up to fans that saw the big game. Rick Singer of Hanover Township says, "I thought it was the best Super Bowl out of all of them. They came to play and they did."

Some fans were more specific, describing the winning touchdown catch. Tom Wolfe of Plymouth Township says, "That was a Super Bowl catch. He had two defenders. If the ball was low knocked away, a little bit higher, probably the game was over. It was a super bowl catch and it was a heck of a good game."

At Sweet Treet, they serve the Big Ben Burger in honor of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Greer s love for the Steelers doesn't stop at his restaurant.

His truck is lined with Steelers decals on every nook and cranny. Greer says, "Yup, I did the detailing myself."

Inside his restaurant, Greer says he's actually in the minority among his customers. Most of them are Eagles fans - unfortunately," says Greer.

Sweet Treet Restaurant has been open 32 years.
