We did not choose this place at first in all honesty. We were planning on going to Mai Kai to enjoy their happy hour but were turned away due to hitting over capacity. So we found ourselves in a pickle.
My daughter suggested that we go back to the Peter Pan Diner which at first I had laughed off as a bad Disney rip off typical Floridian diner. But since we had no other idea what to try, we decided to give our daughter her wish and try out the diner and I am so glad we did.
The diner holds a very loose connection to Peter Pan in general. A few of their cocktails are named after famous characters such as Peter Pan Punch, Tinkerbelltini, and Captain Hook's Mai Thai (yes, we did try them all!) If you love choices, this is your place - Greek, Italian, American, Breakfast, etc. The menu was almost a little overwhelming.
This family owned diner excels on hospitality and treat their customers like family. The owner walked the floor and made sure he checked each table at least once. He was so kind to our kids and event gave our kids a high five and free pieces of chocolate cake. We even experienced him taking care of a hard customer. He was kind and gracious and listened to the customer who was in the wrong and made it right regardless.
The servers made sure to meet our needs even before they happened and where so hard working. Our server (his name I missed unfortunately) brought extra plates, napkins, lemon, and cherries (when they were fighting over a few) for our kids. He was attentive, kind, and hard working.
You can't get a better bang for your buck when it comes to food as well. If you are looking for drinks, their cocktails are $6.99 and a beer will run you anywhere to $3-$5. You get so much food for what you pay for. We got dinners so we also got bread, salad or soup, and our entree. Everything was homemade or close to homemade and was so good. My wife tried their Stuffed Shrimp and really like them. I had the Clam Strip Basket and ate so much free bread I barely got through my meal. My wife had the Gyro Platter and really liked the lamb. Everything we got was great. No frills but who cares, when you get great value and good food I could honestly care less. Probably one of the best places we went to during our recent trip to Florida! Thanks Zoey, you were right all along, don't pass up Peter Pan!
