I really enjoy visiting this diner. The food is consistently delicious, and I appreciate how clean and well-maintained the diner is. The staff members are always friendly and accommodating, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. However, I do have one concern: the cell service tends to be quite slow in the back section of the restaurant, regardless of whether the Wi-Fi is functioning properly or not. This can be a bit frustrating, especially when you want to use your phone for something. Overall, though, my experience has been positive!

Kid-friendliness: They had a kids menu. I am not sure if they still do as I went today (March 27th, 2025) and they changed their menu.

Being Greek-owned and operated, you would think that they would nail an awesome Gyro. However, that was not the case. It was even Shawarma meat, it was sliced flavorless chicken breast and way too much of it. They didn't fold the bread correctly and it was a mess to eat. My wife ordered the Spinach Feta Egg Benedict, and once again flavorless! The spinach wasn't even cut which made for an annoying eat and the English muffins were burnt. My son had chicken fingers, which were more like half chickens overly deep fried. The only saving grace, the fries. Also, our waitress was a sweetheart. Atmosphere, it's a diner so c'mon. And a poor one at that. Try harder Park Place Diner!

Was sitted down and no one came over at all for anything not even a greeting. Waited waited people after us waiter or waitress came over to them got drinks and order. Didn’t get acknowledged at all. So we left. Very disappointing 20-25 mins of nothing.

I was waiting to see if this person was going to give a negative review. I am the gentleman who was sitting in the next booth to this half truth telling man, Saturday night. Did he pay $5.30 for A cup of tea? Absolutely not. A cup of tea here is 2.65 you get 1 bag. If you want another, they give it to you, no problem, no charge. This guy got 2 bags at one time "because he lives his tea strong." they ordered 2 more tea bags. Then got all upset for getting charged for 2 teas. To set the record straight he got 4 tea bags for $5.30. He did complain to the owner, that he did. The owners there are more than fair and very good people. The owner was explaining just because he likes 2 tea bags at a time does not entitle him not to pay for the extra 2 he received.. Not defensive, just matter of fact. You wrote this negative review using false statements. And left out, you also stiffed the waitress. I go to this diner every Saturday, ( at least) You aren't going to get a better meal for the money. I met all the owners ALL GREAT people. This guy is a bad apple trying to leave a bad review because he didn't "get over" on this place.

Paid $5.30 for a hot tea. When asked about it owner was defensive and quick to play victim. He immediately asked if we were threatening him when asked why we were being charged so much. Told us that a hot tea (hot water and a tea bag) costs the same as a fresh squeezed large orange juice. This is not right.
