    With terrific views of the river and plenty of meeting spaces, this classic diner continues to be a local community staple. The menu has plenty of options for breakfast lunch and dinner. The staff are quick and friendly.

    The Park Diner has been an iconic Binghamton restaurant for as long as I can recall. That said, I've eaten there as a kid with my older brothers, as a teen on dates, as a wild young man eating greasey food after a night on the town with his buddies, and as an adult having a meal with his own family. It's truly a multi-purpose eatery with a huge menu. My wife had ti kill some time in town the other day, around lunch time, so we decided on lunch at the "Park." I hadn't eaten there in a few years. The place is not what it used to be. Stall were all courteous and we were seated immediately. We were offered drinks, but had to ask for water. We ordered a burger, and a BLT, both with mayo. Meg's burger cooked as ordered, my bacon was nice and crisp. Both sandwiches were dry as a desert, and neither was flavorful. My BLT had a tiny patch of lettuce, and and the bacon was mostly beside the sandwich, which came on two slices of of thin white toast. I was disappointed because the pricing lead me to believe the quality and portions would be...well, more. I did order a drink up front. It was hot tea with lemon. The server brought it after my meal was over, and the water had cooled enough so that the tea bag barely gave up any flavor. Would I recommend Park Diner? Sure. If you're on lunch and in a hurry, and just want to fill the hole. However, I did see some Binghamton bigwigs having lunch, so maybe one should give it a shot.

    Food was delicious, prices were reasonable, parking available, and the service was decent. The view was out of this world. The food was so good I forgot to take a photo until I was half way done.

    View from the table.

    Small, but friendly place. A nice river view, and there was something on the menu everyone would eat. We were glad we stopped on our way in. Recommend the Park Burger, and Onion Rings.

    Actual Rating: 3.45 Place: This diner is pretty spacious and plus, it has a wonderful view of a mini waterfall down below. If you can get a table by that view then consider yourself lucky because you, customer, are lucky af. Service: I'd have to say the service here was alright. The waitress who served us on our short visit served us our drinks and food in a timely manner so she was pretty cool. Food: I tried (I think?) the Hawaiian burger and the calamari. The Hawaiian burger was pretty tasty. The slightly sweet pineapple tasted well with the savory chicken. I also liked how the burger came with a good amount of fries. Hey, I eat a lot so the more the merrier my stomach and I will be. I'd say the calamari was alright. The quantity they gave was a lot, but it wasn't really flavorful even with the sauce. Price: The prices I'd say were pretty decent. I like how the portions were pretty big. Conclusion: I'll probably come back here if I wanted to go on a date or to hold a celebration. Otherwise, I probably won't especially since it seems a hassle to get here without a car.

    Average diner food at best. We'll be trying other places before going back here. Nothing special

    It's a wonderful view, where you can see the river (often fishermen are there) and the Binghamton cityscape.
