Had breakfast here and got the Skillet. It's 2 eggs, with veggies and sausage over potatoes and a side of rye toast. The rye toast here was good in comparison to another local diner. The scrambled veggies/sausage mix was underwhelming. It just felt like they threw it in a pan, sauteed it a couple of times, and poured it on the plate, I got clumps of onions and peppers bunched together. It wasn't mixed well. Potatoes were overcooked and did not have a crisp to it. Eggs were perfectly over medium. Coffee was good. So food overall is average, not spectacular, but it was what is expected for an average diner. The apple pie was good, but it is served cold. I prefer it warm with ice cream. Nice thick crust and classic apple filling. Service was average, friendly service. Although it was only 2 servers running on a Monday holiday, they managed well and made sure we had what we needed. Ambience, interior, clean and bright, somewhat modern/old school diner. The view was beautiful, it was sunny when we went, so that helped create a relaxing and gorgeous breakfast. I would definitely say it's a great spot for catching up with friends and family. Great view, good service and average food. I would come back again for sure!

My experience here was pretty unpleasant overall. The view is gorgeous but that's about the only good thing going for Park Diner. First and most importantly are the prices. These prices are way too high for the portion sizes being served, and the quality of the food being served. Second, this place feels less like a diner run by mom and pop and more like a place run by college students. It's clear in the menu and the execution on the dishes. The dish I ordered was supposed to be a grilled turkey sandwich - and it was, in a way... They took a stack of turkey luncheon meat and placed in on the flat top grill lol! luncheon meat isn't designed to be cooked this way so naturally it made the sandwich a soggy wet mess. Third, my waiter was not the best. Took her 10 minutes to bring me a tiny cup of coffee that was only half full, and the coffee inside it was as green as the water outside. I had to send it back and get a soda which was flat and unpleasant. 2 stars because there is a vast menu selection. If they could get their portion size versus price situation under control, and execute with a little more skill - this place could be something so much more.

Please follow us on Facebook at SNDTravels. I wish I could give this place a better rating, but here it is. Great location on the river and friendly staff. Diane ordered the baked scallops with rice, mixed veggies, salad and fries (strange for scallops). Based on the other reviews she felt comfortable with the order. The scallops we're overcooked and chewy, to much lemon and no butter flavor, the rice was ok but one look at the veggies and she said no. The salad was just on the verge of being wilted but was edible. All seemingly done by a small time short order cook. The fries were fresh, hot and good. I had the club sandwich (which doesn't come with cheese, a first) and fries. The sandwich was good with crispy bacon and real mayonnaise. The toast could have been toasted a little longer but overall I enjoyed it. I don't think the iced tea was fresh brewed as is tasted like Gold Peak out of a soda dispenser. I think if you stay with the simple items (burgers, breakfast ect..) you probably would be alright but I would worry about the higher priced menu items that require a skilled touch.
