    Classic stainless steel diner
    Travis K.

    Stopped in for some breakfast and a day of movie watching. Tried Kay's Diner down the road West and that was wonderful. This is a classic stainless steel diner and is what you would expect. Eclectic mix of stuff on the wall, classic Americana interior with the vinyl seats and the counter. I ordered the "Alien Invasion" which is 2 buttermilk pancakes, 2 eggs cooked to order and your choice of applewood smoked bacon, sausage or ham. The pancakes were very good along with the bacon. I would order again. The only Issue I had was the soda was flat twice and the server seemed frazzled/disinterested that is an issue. Settled on water to drink and that arrived when I was finished with the meal. Seemed like the place was short staffed.

    I really appreciate the Park Diner. The service is usually on point and very friendly. They have a wide variety of options and everyone in your group can find something that they want. The portions are very reasonable, especially for what you pay. Also, the batter bites are so good! Get them and you won't be disappointed. Most of the sauces are homemade and so good!

    Hubsy and I went on a Friday evening around 8pm, so it's no surprise that it was busy. The place: Park Diner is one of those diners in a shiny rail car, so it's on the smaller side. Inside, it fully embraces the 50s chic with posters and memorabilia from the era. There's booth seating, table seating, as well as the counter. Up near the ceiling there are whiteboards promoting the malts and shakes along with the specials for the day. The location: Park Diner shares a parking lot with the movie theater, so there's plenty of space to park. Right off of 75, if you live in the area you've probably passed it once or twice. The food: we went specifically for the malts and cheese curds and we were not disappointed. The cheese curds came out hot and gooey accompanied by loaded marinara sauce. I mean there were yummy chunks of onion in that since and it was great. I debated between classic chocolate and the malt of the month (mint oreo) but decided on chocolate. Delicious. The service: quick and efficient. They have to be of its this busy with any regularity. Our server was sweet but didn't linger. Fun for a date night, would pair well with a movie!

    The Park Diner is a local favorite in the St. Cloud area. It's located right next to the movie theater, so before you stop in to see a flick, it's the perfect place to grab a bite to eat. They serve all day breakfast and have appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, and other entrees as well. I feel like I never visit Park Diner enough and it's that place that makes me go, "I used to love it there when I was a kid!" Well, the big kid in me still adores it just as much. I came in last week for dinner with my friend before heading over to the movie theater. We were seated right away. I ordered the '56 Studebaker burger with cheese and a side of potato bites ($7.69). This burger comes with all of the fixin's. My friend ordered the Barbie sliders (comes with two sliders-$8.99) and a side of fries. I skipped the fries because I am not a fan of crinkle cut fries in general. My friend also got the cookies & cream milkshake ($5.29). The first thing I noticed about my burger was that the patty did not reach the ends of the bun, so there was more bun than burger meat. I took one bite and the meat tasted overcooked and there wasn't a whole lot of flavor, but it wasn't a bad burger. It was good but not great. It didn't fill me up by any means. I probably wouldn't get it again next time. I really liked the potato bites! They were nice and crispy! My friend loves the Barbie sliders and told me that the BBQ sauce makes the entire slider. The service was okay. Our waitress brought us our food in a timely manner, but did not refill our waters. She was a sweet lady, but only checked on us once, and she saw my empty glass of water a few times, but didn't fill it up. Although the burger wasn't my favorite and the service was average at best, I'm giving the Park Diner 4 stars because I love their breakfast food and the fun interior/exterior of the place. I would recommend getting breakfast food while here, but they also have signature burgers I haven't tried yet too. If you bring a kiddo with, they can get a kids meal which comes with the awesome classic box cars! Also, you MUST to get a SHAKE. You can't come here and not purchase a shake. Their famous shakes are undeniably one of the best shakes I've ever had. I swear, the kid in me still gets just as excited when they set the shake and the tin down on the table. Split it with a friend, and you'll both be thoroughly fulfilled! Refer to my photos for some menu prices. They don't have their menu online!

    Meatloaf Blue Plate Special and a blueberry shake
    Wendy W.

    This is the old fashioned Diner experience, but with better food! Everything is made from scratch, the mashed potatoes are real, even their ranch dressing is homemade .. And the shakes and malts come with the metal cup! The wait staff calls you "honey". What more could you want? Craving comfort food? Order the Blue Plate Special.

    Highly recommend coming here for some shakes after/before a movie. You get plenty for the money as you are given more than what fits in the glass. We ordered a Reese's shake and a chocolate shake. Although Reese's is my ultimate favorite ice cream pairing and I normally don't care for chocolate shakes, I have to admit the chocolate shake was delicious and admittedly might be better than the Reese's was. They have so many options! I also love classic diner style restaurants, so it was an amazing experience when we went for Mother's Day and Father's Day.

You think of conceding to good ol' Perkins, and think again. You google a few things. Something cute comes up. The drive is short enough, and facilitates the mandatory stop through Savers to peruse the electronics for that thing you had when you were 12. "Brigette's Cafe looks good, let's try it." Best decision of the day. The chicken fried steak special was delicious, nay, straight bussin. I still have no idea how it's actually made, and I don't care. The hash browns were perfect, and dare I say, picturesque. Eat your heart out, Norman Rockwell. The rye toast was delectable, with only butter to complement. I will be back. I will try the pancake platters. The best part? I'm a whole-ass adult... and nobody can stop me.

Not so much the receptionist, though--she could stand to learn a bit more, since she's in a position to interact with customers; at the very least, she should say "welcome" and "thank you." What I tried was delicious, but most importantly, as a chef, everything was prepared with high quality and served on time. I want to mention the hash browns, for example. Most--or I'd say almost all--chain restaurants use the wrong oil, or it's old or rancid. That's not the case at Brigitte's. Brigitte's isn't a chain, which is great. And the pancakes are so light they almost float in the air. Until next time....
