Great Diner! Best in Binghamton! Food is consistently good & the view in the back section in AMAZING!!! I highly recommend the chicken spaghetti! Definitely will be back soon read more

Good food. Nice view of the water while eating although that room was a little chilly. Prices are decent.

This is my go-to place; it's a South Side landmark & everybody knows where "the Park" is. I often meet friends or family there, variety of foods and price points so everybody can find something good, fresh, and affordable. (I do miss the old days, when the diner was open all night though). Greek salad is always awesome here. Try the turkey club sandwich or a burger for lunch, stuffed haddock for dinner -but lose the vodka sauce. Desserts for days -omg the pies: so hard to choose. read more

Great view! Great Food - The breakfast was delicious, amount of food was wonderful and great prices! Wish I had found this little gem before graduation weekend! Parents a great place to go grab breakfast! read more

Best view in town hands down. Love their blueberry pancakes, grilled chicken sandwich, onion rings, chicken soup, Greek salad, and the Reuben. Obviously not as one meal:). But I go for the coconut cake. Simply divine. Pleasant brunch or lunch spot on the Southside. read more

Park Diner - View from the diner. - Diners Near Me - Binghamton, New York

The park diner is my favorite diner in town. Food is always good, and the view is great.

Walked in Saturday at 1 o clock to a lobby full of people and open tables . It appeared there must have been only 2 servers working ( keep in mind I work in the food business I know how it operates) anyway we are greeted by the kitchen staff speaking rudely and loudly " if I walked into a place like this and saw all these people I'd walk right out ". And so we did... the food is good ,location is great . It just appears they may be understaffed at times. And maybe the kitchen should not discourage the guest from walking in. read more

Horrible service , waited over an hour for an omelette. No way am I coming back here again.

I was hesitant about going there being I've lived here for 3 years and never heard good things about this diner besides the view. But, it was 4PM on a sunny Wednesday afternoon and I was hungry so decided to go for a quick walk down. I sat down with my girlfriend and before seeing the menu I ordered a large orange juice. Very promptly, my large orange juice came out, and it was much smaller than even the water cup I had gotten. Meh, I thought, no big deal. So I go over the menu and that's when I see the menu that I saw online was different but the same. Same options, but much higher prices. The place has a decent view but is still a diner and for a diner the prices were outrageous. For example: their fried calamari is exactly the same price as Red Lobster... Really? Add an extra $2.49 for onion rings over fries...Really? On the kids menu says Spaghetti with ONE meatball... Really? When we got up to leave, I finished my orange juice and at the bottom was the pulp, but this pulp wasn't normal... This was frozen orange juice pulp.. A diner that serves a $2.49 small cup of frozen orange juice. Pros: Decent view. Friendly waitresses. Cons: Smells of wet rag. Same price as a high level chain restaurant. Frozen OJ. read more

I really don't like the Park Diner. I have been there 3 or 4 times and will not go again. Every time the food is very disappointing, not to mention pricey for what you get. I've had the haddock, which is nothing special, the turkey dinner, which tastes like a frozen dinner. Seriously disappointing. The service is also terrible. The last time I went the waitress did not refill our drinks at all and we watched her hanging out talking to her friends while we sat waiting for our check. As a former waitress myself, it was a big let down. Not recommended. read more

i really like this place, i don't know why i haven't been there more often! it's incredibly cheap but delicious. perfect setting for the morning after brunch. the view is a nice touch but that's not what should drive you here. im not too big a fan of the hawaiian pancakes though... but DO try the spinach pie! read more

i've gotten food here a bit over the last few months, breakfasts and dinner. the place is nice on the inside. of course everyone knows about the view of the dam but there's also some really cool paintings of the binghamton area hanging up. the staff has always been friendly and they keep up on drink refills very well. the food overall is on the mediocre side, except for a few things which are pretty good. some items in my opinion are overpriced by a buck or two compared to other local places. starting with breakfast... the pancakes were ok. they were a little on the tougher side but not dry at all, i'm guessing the batter just gets over mixed a little when making it in large quantities. there wasn't anything special about the flavor either, and a full order is 2 pancakes where most places give you 3. same with the french toast, 2 pieces for a full order. if i remember right the flavor was decent but the toast wasn't thick, so minus a few points for that. i'm pretty sure i had a breakfast sandwich too at some point but obviously it wasn't memorable haha. the first time i had the home fries i thought they were pretty good, then the next 2 times i didn't care for them now for the dinner food. i'll start this off on a high note, they have a pretty damn good burger. they cooked it how i wanted it (a lot of places screw that up!) and the bun they used was good as well. i had bacon added and it was a good choice. it's sort of like a bigger better version of a fast food burger, and i will be back again for one of these. the fries that came with it are good too, a lot of places serve mediocre fries but not here. the fried chicken is also good but it's the same as you get at Rolandos and other diners. i also had the roast pork and dressing dinner once with mashed potatoes. the mashed potatoes seemed like the instant fake ones to me and they were pretty gross. the stuffing also seemed a bit generic, as did the gravy. the pork was moist and overall decent but there was nothing to really set the flavor off. it was a decent comfort food meal though aside from the potatoes. i also tried the lemon chicken, which is a house favorite i guess. it was alright in my opinion. the breading on it was good but again could have used more flavor. i didn't care for the greek spaghetti that came with it though. a lot of meals come with soup or salad, and i usually go for the salad with italian dressing. the dressing is good but i feel it's probably not made in house. oh and i've tried their chilli too. it was good but not rave worthy. lots of meat and beans but not much liquid in it, kinda weird. i've never had dessert here but i got a good look at the display and there were tags and labels on everything, so it's definitely not made in house. it's probably good but i'd expect better if it was made in house overall i'd give this place a 3.5, i'll definitely go back for dinners, not too sure about breakfast though, there's other places around here that do it better and cheaper read more

A classic diner with a great view of the Rockbottom Dam. All of your typical diner offerings are on the menu, with a short wait and friendly service. I have been to this diner since high school, when it was a tiny hole in the wall, it's lost that grunge but does not disappoint. read more

Stopped here for the first time - I had heard wonderful things about the place . The diner itself is spotless, and the service is great. HOWEVER, the food was quite disappointing. I've heard people say for years how good the food is -- they must have ordered something completely different than what my friend and I had. I ordered the broiled haddock with broccoli and fries. The only good thing were the fries - the haddock was on the tough side, the broccoli was mush - oh yeah, it came with rice pilaf too - inedible. My friend had the greek burger - ordered it well, it was medium(if that)- it had feta and spinach - so much water the bun was soggy - he also had a caesar salad-it was excellent --- you know it's not a good meal when the best part is the salad and fries. I wanted to tell the waitress how unimpressed I was, but she was in such a good mood, and did her job so well, I didn't have the heart to ruin her day. I will NOT be back ...... suggestion to others - spend an extra 5 bucks and get a really good meal at Applebees!!!! Mike M. Thompson, PA read more

We got a table quick. Our waitress came over fast and got the drinks. She didn't leave us long at all. Placed our orders. Our soups came out quick and tasted great. The prime rib dinner was delicious. Out waitress Samantha was great,very personable and hard working. I think this by far was my best visit. We will be back again soon. read more

Had the chicken gyro. It was very disappointing. The chicken, very sparsely scattered amount the chopped tomatoes tasted as though it was washed first. I was hoping the tzaziki sauce would add some taste; not so, had to pour on the salt hoping my taste buds would get something out of this blah meal. Fortunately the fries were tasty! read more

Great diner, lovely view and omelette was terrific. Very friendly staff. We were from out of town, it was a lucky find for us.

Best diner in Binghamton (sorry Rolando's)... Great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Good luck finding a nicer view in Binghamton too..

Rib eye steak dinner - requested medium/rare. Twice it came back to me done medium and tasteless. The mushrooms on top were delicious, and the mashed potatoe's, salad, & coffee. But at $16.99 it was a waste of money. The COOK only knew how to cook the meat one way even after they asked how I'd like it cooked. No seasonings at all. They also have good salads. But how can you make a bad salad. The service was not good, we never were asked if we wanted a coffee warm up throughout dinner. read more

The best thing about the Park Diner is the view. After that, it just seems like they're phoning it in. I asked for well done home fries, but they were barely brown. The syrup isn't even trying to look real - it comes in little plastic containers loudly announcing that it is high fructose corn syrup. I think people just go here out of habit. There are plenty more places around town that actually care about making the food good. read more

Great view from the back of the restaurant! Unfortunately the breakfast menu had no such vision. All the basics were there. But nothing new, exciting or interesting. I guess eggs and toast are the signature dish. And even those are served on the bland side. $40 with tip for 3 people at breakfast was a tad high. Did i mention the view was nice? Oh yah the windows needed cleaning. To bad the village want open on Sundays. read more

I've been going to this diner since I was a little girl and it was always my favorite watching the river and the stuff flow down it. Although it's been a few years since I've been there the food has gotten a little choppy, the staff was great though. Normally waiting on a busy morning it isn't to bad but when we got our food we might as well have ordered mashed potatoes! My over easy eggs were over hard and the home fries were so sloppy. I could hear the waitresses beg for their home fries to be more well done and the cooks responses were I don't know what To tell you. Also the waitress we had was flirting with the table next to us and when the boss came out they were also talking like they were both second class citizens. Isn't he a politician? Shouldn't he act more appropriate, I can't imagine what he would say behind closed doors. While I was there it was an unpleasant experience, and after the boss was done talking and flirting he started to target most of the other waitresses (that were actually doing their jobs and not trying to get guys numbers.)He started to yell and it was NOT what I wanted to listen to while I was eating. It made me not want to come back because of how rude he was. Every other place I've been to the employers practically kiss the employees feet and worship them. I hope they read this and realize that some things HAVE TO CHANGE! read more
