My hamburger was way overcooked and dry. The hashbrowns were very good. The pie wasn't good at all. Maybe it was old but 2 bites and we were done. It started filling up as we left.

Our waitress (possibly the owner?) was so friendly, personable, quick and attentive. The food was exactly what we ordered and she was flexible with our requests. We prefer a few healthier options, like fruit or whole grains, with breakfast, and we like excellent coffee, and those aren't on offer here, but I didn't take a star away for that because the Park Diner is exactly what you want it to be - a nice, clean diner with generous portions and great staff.

There was only one waitress but she was attentive and friendly. The menu is your typical "diner" food including breakfast served all day. I got the breaded chicken sandwich which was steaming hot when it arrived. The tots were delicious and my friend enjoyed her BLT with hash browns. I also tried the 8th Ave Fav dirty soda which was refreshing. The only negative was the smoothie had chunks of ice in it. Worth the stop if you're driving through Pipestone.

I went here with my husband from being on a road trip. Went in and everyone literally just turned…read moreand looked at us, not one person acknowledged us. Which should have been our sign. We sat ourselves and a waitress named Ella came over after a few minutes and said "do you want a drink?" My husband: Do you have a Diet Coke? Ella: no My husband: ok, I suppose it's a diet coke. She looks at me never saying a word. I said I will have a coke, and Ella walks away. Again, no acknowledgment. Ella walks back to our table, again not saying a word with her writing pad and pen to take our order. So, we both ordered a burger which came with fries or potato chips, which we were never asked which one we preferred. Ella brings both orders to our table, and walks away again not saying a word. I looked at my order and it had no fries; my husband's was fine. So, I waited hoping Ella or someone would come back to let them know, but nothing. I noticed Ella hiding behind the donut counter texting on her phone. She was there a good 5 minutes, then hurried and put it in her back pocket. I showed my husband and he was like wtf?!? He walked up and let them know at the front counter that my order had no fries or chips. Eventually an older woman brought my french fries out. Ella never came back to see if everything was fine, if we needed anything. No one did. She was slowly walking around the small diner pretending to sweep. My husband had to go to the front counter yet again to get refills on our soda. The food was good, the service needs a hell of a lot of work! Not friendly at ALL!!! Or attentive. The small diner was cute and clean which is why they get 3 stars. Which this place has potential, they just need new management and training. The burger was very dry, french fry's were good but too late so I brought them as well as my burger home to my chickens.

There are very few tables in this small restaurant, so we ended up waiting quite a bit and then had to push two tables together. It didn't matter much since we were still waiting for some of our other family members to arrive, but just know if you have a group larger than 3-4, you'll likely end up waiting at least 30 minutes. The food was overall satisfying. I got the cranberry, turkey, and Brie sandwich with the soup of the day, which happened to be bacon cheeseburger. Both were yummy! At the end, we got sold on the desserts in the window (me and my partner on the chocolate creme pie). They were all good as well! The only thing keeping this place from 5 stars was the service. From the time we entered, we felt like an inconvenience. A party of six shouldn't be too much to handle, but we were apparently too much. We didn't get much attention unless we flagged someone down. Overall, I liked the food and the feel of this place, but I wouldn't come back unless I was with only one other person!
