Peter Pan Diner

Finally found an amazingly delicious Greek diner!! Casual dinner with lots of table/booth seating and a bar. I had the Rachel sandwich with sweet potato fries and omg was it good!! The rye bread was toasted perfectly, generous portion of pastrami that tasted freshly sliced, melted Swiss cheese and sauerkraut was incredibly yummy!!! My sweet potato fries were fried exactly how I like them, too —crunchy on the outside, but soft inside. Fiancé ordered the gyro sandwich with seasoned fries. Also hearty portion of gyro meat. Simple sandwich, but everything was super fresh and the tzatziki sauce added so much flavor. Derroll gave excellent service, too!! Food was delivered hot and fast, funny personality and anticipated our need for more napkins delivering them before I could ask. I appreciate the little things like that.

We dined during the early bird special (3-6pm). There are many choices on the menu. Each dish came with two sides, drink and dessert. All of our dishes were made from scratch. I love liver and onions and this place makes it really good. I recommend trying their Avgolemono soup-it’s a creamy lemon chicken soup. The place was busy and the people working there are kind and helpful.

This iconic dinner has been around forever. Walk inside and anyone who was in their 20’s or 30’s in the 90’s will remember late night breakfast after a good night out. The inside is exactly the same and breakfast is still one of the best. Prices are reasonable too. Love this place and love the memories. If you’re in Fort Lauderdale this is a must stop.

I love this place, Darrell or Daryl is fabulous, love him, love being able to talk to others there and not even know them. Got the fish, bake potatoes, Cole slaw and a very delicious cake. When I make it back there, I will definitely go back.

Grilled meat platter, spiral grilled meat and sandwiches are all recommended. It was my first time to try Greek food. It turns out that this place is open until 11pm The environment is relatively large. Friendly waiters

I have been seeing this place since I was a kid. We would just drive by on our way somewhere. Finally I decided I wanted to go eat there. We were so surprised at how wonderful this place is! Jose, our waiter, was very attentive. The menu had plenty of options for everyone. Most of us opted for the Daily special. There was not a single complaint. The food tastes homemade and was delicious! The prices were more than reasonable! It was quiet enough to have a conversation but also not uncomfortably silent. This is now our new Diner of choice!

Large menu of classic diner style comfort foods, plus greek favorites. A great place to share a few dishes among friends. Great selection of cakes if you have a sweet tooth and saved room for dessert.

Great prices and pleasant atmosphere. Service is excellent. Not all of the food is great. Stick with “diner basics” (breakfasts, sandwiches, burgers and salads) and you’ll be fine. The homemade white and dark breads are great!

Located at the intersection of Oakland Park Blvd. and Dixie Highway, Peter Pan Diner offers daily a vast variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes at reasonable prices for dine in, takeout, and delivery. They also offer: * Appetizers & desserts * Soups & salads * Burgers & sandwiches * Greek & Italian cuisine * Entrees/poultry/seafood * Hot & cold beverages * Wine/beer/cocktails After being greeted by the hostess, she quickly seated me at an available table. My server soon came after overlooking the menu and took my order of a cup of hot tea and the Willie French Connection which consisted of eggs, French toast, 2 bacon strips, and 2 sausage links. Here's my take on the food... * Hot tea was soothing. A small teapot filled with hot water was provided in case you wanted a second cup. * Eggs was scrambled and made to my liking. Added a bit of salt & pepper for flavor. * Bacon was crispy and though I'm not a fan of sausage, it was ok. If I order this again I will substitute the sausage for extra bacon. * Though the French toast wasn't made with that cinnamon essence that I absolutely love, it was still good without having an eggy taste. Overall the meal was enjoyable. The bustling diner had that casual atmosphere where you can come in and socialize over some good food. I have to give a lot of credit to the whole staff. Each server gave attention to their tables in a timely manner and were very pleasant. Even the busboy was quick in clearing the dirty dishes and wiping the tables clean for the next patron(s). I look forward on returning to try another dish.

Very neighborhood-y diner with fun friendly staffers and solid diner classics. 5 star staff and ambience: I go with a group of friends here very often, usually Monday nights. Every staffer is sweet and welcoming. It really feels like you're eating with some relative (one that you like, not one of the strange ones LOL). 5 star food: they do very solid diner classics mostly. The menu has just about one of everything and there are also daily specials. My personal favorite is always the triple salad platter. A funny side note: our cat goes completely crazy for even a tiny piece of tuna salad from Peter Pan. There's a pic of our cat, oddly enough named Spot, finding a small bit of Peter Pan tuna salad hidden behind a book on shelves.

We have been coming to Peter Pan for a long, long time. Great weekday breakfast specials. Complete early bird meals served after 3, and pretty much anything your hungry heart wants. It was recently refurbished and it looks beautiful. The servers are all excellent. We ask for Jonathan's table most often. Personable, fast and he remembers our preferences. Peter Pan was recently voted BEST DINER IN FLORIDA! We know why. Great food, service and friendly management.

We ordered to go and after living in Fort Lauderdale for 20 years...this is our first time eating from here. I am mad at myself for not ordering here sooner! We had pancakes and eggs and a club sandwich and fries...perfection! Everything was delicious and our next visit will be in person!

Have visited a few times now. Never have been disappointed! Our server Diana is friendly and accommodating. She also makes the best egg creams! The ambiance takes me back to what a diner would be 70's - 90's! Today we ordered a Rachel and a Ruben sandwich (which we share 1/2 each) and shared sweet potato fries) Amazing!! We started with a bowl of Greek lemon chicken soup so amazing that we finished it all before we could take a pictures!!!

Please support your local family owned and operated businesses! They are the heart of the community and our Country! Thank you Peter Pan Diner for making me feel like family! A fan for life! I highly recommend!

Peter Pan Diner is yet another of our ever- lengthening list of favorite eateries! The food is wonderful, they have a great selection, also a bakery with fantastic dessert offerings! And their house baked breads are exceptional and go very well with all of their soups!! We know many of the servers there and have our favorites, but they all are pretty good. Also offered is a daily special menu that includes a variety of dishes. One of the many reasons we enjoy here is the comfortable, safe environment and relaxed, friendly, feel they provide.

Peter Pan Diner in Wilton Manors is a gem. The staff here are always friendly and make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. The prices are super affordable, especially in today's market where everything seems to cost an arm and a leg. It's great to find a spot that doesn't break the bank but still delivers on quality. Plus, they're really good about making substitutions, which is a nice touch if you're picky like me. Our breakfast was just what we needed--no frills, just solid diner food. I had the classic combo of eggs, pancakes, and sausage, and it hit the spot. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the pancakes were fluffy, and the sausage had that great diner flavor that you can't beat. Nothing fancy, but that's exactly what we were looking for. Overall, if you're in the area and want a good meal without any fuss, Peter Pan Diner is the place to go. The vibe is laid-back, the food is satisfying, and you won't leave feeling like you overpaid. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to when I need a good, reliable breakfast.

Peter Pan Diner has been in business since 1979. It's a true diner vibe that is a neighborhood favorite. They have a great breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. We usually go for a weekend breakfast or dinner when we don't know what we want. They are always staffed well and the servers are very nice. Our meals was hot and the price was really reasonable for the amount of found you get.

Still the best char grilled burger for less than any chain or individually owned local burger or old fashioned burger place , look at the price with drink Dec 2024

First time today and I ordered take out. A turkey club and a chef salad. Wowie!!! Just like Jersey! They were both perfect! Even the pickle! I love this place.

Diners remind me of being back home (Jersey). I wanted BBQ on 4th of July but most restaurants closed early or closed period. Wasn't sure where to go & ended up at this diner. Not one bit of disappointment! We had a blast! We all enjoyed our food (I had the Feta Burger YUM) & especially our waitress, Ivies (hispanic girl with blk hair) I think so sorry I forgot but what a personality we loved her! We will be coming more often for sure!

As diners go Peter Pan is consistent. The omelettes are four egg so you get your protein. Server staff was were friendly and welcoming. I had the eggs Benedict which was good. The sauce was on the thicker side. Prices are reasonable.

We have eaten here so very many times in the past. The food is always delicious. However, I want to point one particular person out that went far above and beyond in her professionalism, courtesy and all-around knowledge of the product. Her name is Barbara. She is from Boston Massachusetts. We were lucky enough to have her at our table today. We watched her not only with ourselves, but the other tables that she had. She was truly amazing. She didn't find it necessary to write down any of our orders and yet she got everything absolutely perfect. How lucky you are to have this person in your employee. A very, very satisfied and forever customer because of her. Her continual smile made everyone in the diner feel comfortable and made our meal even more enjoyable.

This place is more than a diner, and the food really impressed me. I came here 2x this week for lunch. The pastrami sandwich was delicious, it tasted like it came from a fresh deli. Service is always great.

As Peter Pan said "It is not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do that is the secret of happiness", and for me eating out is what I like, but telling you about it is liking what I do! When you are in So. Florida and especially in the Ft. Lauderdale area you need to check out the Peter Pan Diner. You will quickly see that the restaurant is a popular place with locals and tourists alike and I see that that is because the service is top notch, and the variety of menu selections and quality of food is sure to please any appetite. Also, the desserts are homemade! Be sure to take a peek at the dessert case as you walk in, you'll see it just behind the counter. Our server Liesel was extremely attentive and very friendly and as first-timers she offered some great suggestions off the menu. Portions are enormous, so be aware you likely will want to plan to take your leftovers home. I was staying in a hotel, so was unable to, but if I could, I would have been glad to. I ordered the Chicken Francais and Ron had the special of the day, pot roast. Each dinner came with a choice of soup or salad of which there was a variety of hearty soups to choose from. For dessert we ordered the Boston Cream and Raspberry Layer, it was so hard to choose from all the great options. Boston Cream is not something you typically find out west where we lived, so it was a slam dunk for me! I really great experience overall and I highly recommend this place for any meal you are seeking to have!

I read a review online about this diner. This is a local breakfast joint. I was very happy with my meal

Was in the area and stopped in for breakfast. The place was not packed there were several cars of the broward sheriff's office leaving looking very full and satisfied! The service was prompt and efficient. The coffee certainly was not the greatest but the food was excellent. I had the corned beef hash which is my favorite breakfast item. It came with two eggs, 3 slices of tomatoes, and toast which was drenched in butter. My bf had the waffle combo and we ordered a small jar of maple syrup to go with it. There was no sugar substitutes or condiments on the table except salt, pepper, and sugar. The place is quite large and would do well for big parties or large groups as they had separate dining areas. There is a lot of parking which is great and the prices are good. Will return if I had the opportunity in the future.

My first impression walking in here it's very spacious and you can tell. It's been around here for a long time and the waitress and hostess were very friendly. We got our order taken very quickly and drinks the food was actually really good. My post eggs were cooked perfect and the hashbrowns were cooked all the way through and the ham was a very nice size and our bill was not that expensive which I was really happy about because everything these days is so expensive so this is a good place to get a quick breakfast they even have lunch and dinner.

Swung by on Black Friday because they opened at 7am with lots of parking spaces in the back of the restaurant. The waffles I ordered were good and I got to experience sugar pearls. These waffles weren't lacking sugar at all. Well cooked which I like and the rest of the meal was exactly what I expected. Service was good with the servers making the coffee round very frequently. I felt safe being here. Broward Sheriff's were here at the same time having their breakfast too.

Pretty solid breakfast with very affordable prices. I've heard about this diner for a long time being a staple of this area for over 20 years being here. I came in to try it for breakfast on a Monday morning. It was not super busy but steady enough. Our server was super sweet and attentive. We order 2 breakfast and a side of French toast and it came to about $30. Nice family ambiance. The food was pretty average , everything tasted good no complaints but nothing stands out. Overall I would come back if I'm in the area , but it's not a place I would brag about.

Our waiter todd was great! he had a cheerful Attitude and managed our big party well, coming frequently to see if we needed things. Food was good and the atmosphere of the diner was great. would recommend you go there.

I've been coming to Peter Pan diner for 20 years. This is a great neighborhood spot serving traditional diner food along with greek specialties. My friend had the pork Souvlaki, and I ordered the Spinach Pita special. Portions are very generous. Both entrees came with pipping hot french fries and a very fresh greek salad. Their salad comes with a lot of feta cheese and kalamata olives. The dressing is delicious. My dining companion loved the pork meat, and I thought the spinakopita was delicious. Service was very good, even though we came in after 9:30 PM.

This is my favorite diner in Broward! Their menu is very extensive but I've always been for breakfast. I always get pancakes, bacon and eggs and it's consistently good. The waitresses are friendly and helpful. There is a parking lot with free parking. Ambiance is of a true Greek diner. I'll continue to go to Peter Pan diner when I'm in the area.

This family owned restaurant has been here for about 40+ years. And over those years I've been here often; however, the last time I was here, my husband's kids were very young. They are all grown, and now married with their own kids. So as you can tell, it's been quite a long time since my last visit. When we can't decide which specific cuisine we are in the mood for, a diner with a large menu is always a good choice. I came in thinking I'd have one of their Greek specialties. And my husband figured he'd have meatloaf. But when we saw the couple seated at a neighboring table and what they were eating we couldn't resist. Thursday was a lunch special of chicken pot pie. They told us they come every week for it. And now we know why. So we both ordered the pot pie. It was a very large portion with a nice flaky crust on top of the filling. The filling had lots of real chicken pieces, mixed veggies, and small onions in a creamy sauce. We did both add a touch of salt (he added pepper too). Can you say comfort food? We each could only finish half. And we took the other half home for dinner that night. But we'd saved a touch of room for one of their house made pies. We chose their coconut cream (they were out of banana -- his fave). It was a huge amount of whipped topping on the base of pudding-like filling and a flour crust. We "forced" ourselves to finish it (ha ha). Service was great. Typical homey diner style. Right there whenever we needed her and friendly. You pay at the counter, btw. Now that we've revisited, we know we need to come back for more of their other lunch specials... See you there!

. . I was here for breakfast. I picked this restaurant because it had a big selection of items for breakfast in fact, two pages of the menu were dedicated to breakfast. That was impressive. . . . . The biscuits and gravy tasted good. The biscuits tasted fresh. They had a good taste. The gravy was okay. . . . The Lox Box was a lox bagel platter. It was good. The bagel was really good. I liked the meal. It was a big portion and I was satisfied with it. . . . The service was friendly and good. I noticed they had some muffins, cookies, and cakes. I wish I had seen them. They looked good. I especially liked the chocolate chip cookies. . . . The restaurant has plenty of parking spaces behind it. It is also located near a railroad tracks. It was easy to find. It has a big picture of Peter Pan

This place had excellent food and even better service. The server was amazing. She was friendly and attentive. She indicated that everything is homemade and that was really nice to hear. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and fries. It was really good and the portion size was above average. The atmosphere is definitely that of a diner. Everyone liked their food and my wife even ended up buying an eclair on the way out. We agreed that we will come back here again.

Food was awful. A foil cover from a butter packet was floating in my soup. My Shrimp Santorini was disgusting. They forgot to put cheese and ham on my friend's grilled cheese and ham sandwich. The service was equally bad. The ambience was bad Jersey diner. Simply awful. I guess I didn't like it. But cheap. I guess you get what you pay for.

I live in Fort Lauderdale for half of a year and this is my go to restaurant at least once or twice a week. It reminds me of my diner experiences back in Pennsylvania. The food, the staff and the vibe is consistently outstanding. When you're tired of the expensive la te da food and little portions, this is the place to go for great drinks, delicious food, substantial portions And an inviting atmosphere.

Excellent dishes with a vintage feel staff are senior lead of serving good meals Meatloaf to biscuit and gravy meals bring the present a daily cuisine

Food is fresh. Wide selection. Friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend. Turkey and ham are both cook fresh. Not processed.

Food was okay but couldn't enjoy it as much as I would've liked to because our waitress Candace was very hostile with us and rude. I asked for another drink for my baby and she was upset that I bothered her with that question. She then proceeded to basically throw our food we ordered onto the table very aggressively I'm not sure if she was having a bad day but definitely not nice to take it out on customers. Because of this reason I will not be returning, and those of you who would like to eat in peace and not feel attacked I recommend you go someplace else or just make sure you don't get Candace as you're waitress

The BEST food I ate at a diner - EVER! Service? Fantastic! Portions? Huge! Taste? Unbelievable! Value? I Loved it! Go there!

This place has the best breakfast in Florida!!! Monday thru Friday there are breakfast special that are cheap enough to fit your budget but large enough to leave you completely full. Not to mention, every day, there are three amazing soups plus a soup du jour each and every day!! The Greek soup is amazing and super popular and if you want you can pair it with a sandwich. Greek meals such as the chicken souvlaki and gyro platter is amazing and paired with a pita and tzhiki sauce. There's plenty for leftovers for late night snack or another lunch the next day. All the meat is cut off the bone in house and Peter Pan has a full bakery where they make all their cakes and pies in house as well!!! There's a reason it was voted the best diner in Florida by Sun Sentinel..... BECAUSE IT IS!!!!

Food was decent, service depends on server (not good last visit.. excellent the previous time). Chicken Parmesan and spaghetti are always a good dinner choice. Comes with soup or salad and good bread (brown my favorite) and butter. Last time there had a hamburger, ordered medium.. arrived charred/burnt! Very good diner over all with very extensive menu selections; great desserts! And I understand the inside is now in the midst of a remodel... should be nice!

Solid breakfast spot! Staff are great! Food is great, and the portions are huge! Would recommend for those in need of a breakfast spot.

This is an amazing place. The waitstaff are amazing . We went 4 times the week we were in Ft Lauderdale. Great food , exceptional service and the owner is so helpful for any request. The owner , Jerinimo is the best.

A wonderful old family diner with a huge menu and excellent service! We walked in and immediately felt comfortable and at home. There were plenty of servers providing quick and attentive service and they all seemed to genuinely enjoy their guests and their job! The food was great! I had the gyro and it was everything I wanted it to be, loaded with meat and the perfect amount of sauce. It's not a new and trendy place, it's a good old and homey place to get a great meal.

Brittany , a young blonde girl serve me a great Reuben sandwich. The service was awesome never had to wait only problem I had was with the cashier old man with white hair but the restaurant is good. And once again, the Reuben really thick really good I don't think I've had one better.

Fantastic service! She was personable and quick! My first time at this Fort Lauderdale staple. I ordered the one egg & bacon for $5.95. How is that possible?! Bottled water is about that price now! It was great. I loved their type of hash browns which are smooched potato's. English muffin was super big and not mooshy. The place is huge! Tip- pay on the way out at the cashiers station! Will definitely be back!

Small portion, decent food. Great service. Ordered the salmon florentine and it was quite tasty. I just wished there was more fish. Place is dated and worn. Seats were cracked and torn. They need to reinvest in this place.

I have driven by this place my entire life and I have never stopped in until yesterday. Our friends live in Pompano and frequent this place so we hopped on board with their idea to go in the morning after we had dinner the night before. It's a busy place, but there's a large parking lot in the back to accommodate that capacity. We were sat right away and ordered drinks. The menu is extensive with all the diner favorites, I landed on the classic diner platter of 3 sausage links, 3 bacon, 3 pancakes and scrambled eggs. The crowd here is buzzing, it's a great atmosphere. Our service was a little slow, I think our server misplaced our check for awhile so we sat for a long time after we finished and still didn't get offered refills on drinks- our friend also never got a coffee refill she asked for. Everything else was great, food was exactly as expected from a diner but some of the seasoning levels were a little low leaving some food sort of bland. If you're in the area it's worth checking out for sure!

Greasy spoon, greasy food and greasy palms. I've had my share of reasonably tasty food here over the past decade and one might say it's a good value for the price. However, I've had one too many unpleasant food experiences like under or over cooked, dripping with grease, cold, stale, more fat than meat, just obviously the poorest of quality of ingredients. Service is generally good until it isn't. The facilities are quaintly aged but cleanliness standards are low and the floors are a slip hazard as is the dining surfaces. But I have no words for todays visit and I'll leave it at that. Health and principles have more value than any convenience of choosing to eat at this establishment.

I am a picky eater and a difficult to please, rather disagreeable person, and I am a life long diner enthusiast since growing up in New Jersey. My point is that, I don't hesitate to tell people about themselves and leave a bad review, so you should listen to me. Twice now, I have had the best breakfasts of my life at this place. The food is very tasty, well prepared, and the service is efficient and friendly. Nothing foreign or exotic here, just the best meals I have eaten in a long time. Both reminded me of how my granny cooked food, and that has never happened anywhere before.

NICE SURPRISE and tasty too , I came here for brunch and we were greeted and seat right away, our waitress was very nice and quick, THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD , I had the Copenhagen eggs Benedict very large for regular Benedict's I had before in other places, the salmon was VERY fresh and really good flavor and the potatoes where perfectly brown soft and crispy!! HAVE THIS IF YOU LIKE SALMON, and my husband had the French toast and eggs and Canadian bacon this was very good as well ,and the owner was there we went and met him and told him we had a great experience HE WAS VERY NICE TO US I WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK HERE !

The food and the service was fantastic!! I will definitely go back again. Our waitress was very friendly and professional.

Great diner food, our server was exceptional and sweet. It's definitely dated but it's charming and nostalgic. Cheap and fast, easily accessible and lots of parking.

Absolute classic! been going here since i was little. Good quality food in a good location at a reasonable price.

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!
