1. The PARKVIEW DINER is one of the unique and distinctive and quickly disappearing American cultural landscape called 24/open diner. Its interior is exactly that golden era of flashy and cheerful era of the America of yester years. This alone is worth for visit this restaurant if you have never been here when you visit the Coney Island Beach in Brooklyn, New York.
2. The PARKVIEW DINER is a huge restaurant made of three sections with very different interior designs for each. (I highly recommend you to try sitting all: the classic left side seats, modern right side seats with bright colorful neon lights, and the "diner" style counter section.) This awesome 24/7 operating diner is located next to the giant grocery store chain Pathmark across from the giant Home Depot store in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. You can not miss it.
3. Although some of the yelp reviews write you must wait for a long time to be seated, I never had such problems at all whatsoever. This is probably due to my dining hours. I usually visit there after 10PM at night. When I come back from the Coney island Polar Bear Club's winter swimming session, then I dine at around 2PM on Sunday.
By knowing how busy at any restaurants (and thus the attentions to each customer go down and become careless & sloppy) during the peak dinner time between 6PM and 9PM, I try not visiting them.
4. When I lived in my own house in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York, I visited there now and then. This was especially true when I was too busy working on my artworks and could not going out for the AYCE buffet restaurant by riding subway train(s).
5. The foods served at the PARKVIEW DINER are traditional and common American foods or the foods popular in America (although they were originated in other countries).
6. To be able for you to use your credit card, you must spend at least $10 there at the PARKVIEW DINER. So, I usually had the breakfast with extra toasted breads (just above $10) there, even at 11PM.
7. I did not take photos of every and each meals I had there, unfortunately. What I ate was pretty the same or very similar every time.
8. The quality control of the foods served there were generally excellent. the only exception was the hash browns; they were over cooked and nearly charred at the bottom and became so hard and not even edible once. So, I had to ask the manager to replace that with the normal French fries. He understood the situation and immediately complied my request. Very cool, smooth, and quick response to countermeasure the problem fro satisfying their customer. Very nice.
9. I visited the PARKVIEW DINER now and then until I move out from Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York.
I recommended the PARKVIEW DINER to my friends, who like American foods with very reasonable prices at 24/7 operating restaurant with nice interior design in Coney Island.
