    Good old Peter Pan. I have a long history with this place but hadn't been in years. It is the same inside, could use a little sprucing up but we had a large group for breakfast and it was very good. The service was pleasant, the food was hot and tasted good and everything came out when it should. I should go more often.

    If you want a true, no-frills, old-school Florida breakfast done right, Peter Pan Diner is an absolute gem. This is the kind of place that feels like it's been getting it right for decades--and hasn't felt the need to change a thing. Classic diner energy, friendly faces, and the kind of menu where everything you want is exactly where it should be. Breakfast came out fast--and not rushed, just efficient. Eggs cooked perfectly, everything hot, fresh, and exactly what you're hoping for when you sit down craving a real diner breakfast. No gimmicks, no overthinking--just consistently good food. And the value? Hard to beat. You walk out feeling like you got more than you paid for, which is getting rare these days. Service was spot-on--quick, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The kind of place where they keep your coffee filled without you even noticing. This isn't trendy--it's better than that. It's reliable, affordable, classic Florida done right. -- proof that simple, is done well

    Excellent service again!! Food is fresh and served quickly! The Chicken Souvlaki was tender, seasoned and served with a Greek salad. SO YUMMY!

    Peter Pan Diner is a staple of Oakland Park. Anyone who lives in Broward knows about Peter Pan Dinner and probably has some kind of memory there. Some 10+ years ago, I once broke up with an ex via phone in the Peter Pan parking lot, and then went inside to have the best brunch with two girl friends. I didn't catch our server's name this time, but she was very pleasant, friendly, and service was good for how packed the place was. We came in from running a 5K around the same time as the Sunday church rush, so it was pretty busy and our server got a large church party of senior citizens shortly after we were sat. When she initially dropped off our drinks, she forgot my coffee and disappeared for a while to tend to other tables, but the next time I saw her, she had already realized her mistake and was actively bringing my coffee. A sign of a service professional! Forgetting things happens, but it's best when you can realize it before your patron tells you so. It was a small thing, but makes a big difference for me. Everyone can feel like they're at home at Peter Pan. It's super LGBTQ+ friendly, and just a down to earth, no-frills, comforting diner.

    Pretty standard run of the mill diner breakfast food, nothing really stood out to me except for the amazing service from Jessica. She was extremely kind and personable! We'll come back and check out the lunch/dinner and desserts next time.

    Finally made it over to the iconic Peter Pan Diner. A 40+yr old restaurant, family owned and operated. No surprise then to be warmly greeted by the son and cashed out by the dad. Staff was great. Food, pretty darn good. They even accommodated my request to have the lox mixed in with the eggs. Large restaurant, but even so, expect a wait on the weekends.

    The Early Bird Special also included a bowl of Greek Lemon Soup which was tasty.

    GREAT service, first of all. We are a church choir of about 30 members, so we booked a big table in advance, and they took GREAT care of us! Classic diner fare, with a lot of Greek and Italian touches. My meatloaf and sides were hearty, with plenty to take home for another meal. They have a dandy looking breakfast menu, so I can't wait to go back! Good desserts, too!!!

    I stopped by Peter Pan Diner for lunch. There were a few people dining inside as I was quickly seated after greeting the hostess. A pleasant male server, I didn't get his name, approached the table and took my drink order. Then a couple of minutes later, I placed an order for a bowl of split pea soup and chicken pot pie. The first to arrive was the split pea soup, which was nice and hot with a smooth texture. Though I prefer my soups to be filled with chunky pieces of meat and veggies, it was still tasty. Next came the chicken pot pie. Once I broke through that flaky crust, I allowed the steam to escape before carefully taking bites of the filling which consisted of peas & carrots, thin slices of potatoes, and pieces of tender chicken in a creamy sauce. It was hearty and very delicious. Sadly the pot pie couldn't be finished because I was partly full from the soup. Apparently my server took notice of that as well as he brought a carry out container for me to transfer the leftovers in. I would definitely come back to Peter Pan Diner for that pot pie again. It was enjoyable and fulfilling.

    I've driven by here hundreds of times and never stopped to eat here. I came with a friend who eats here regularly. They have a large menu with everything you could want, breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have daily specials. Like many diners, they have a section of Greek food. I asked the waitress how the moussaka was and she said she's never tried it, however people order it a lot. She did say that several of the cooks are Greek. So, I ordered the moussaka. It was very good, and a generous portion. It came with a Greek salad. The only thing that surprised me was that it was served with a bowl of warm tomato sauce?? My friend and I shared a piece of their cheesecake, which was delicious. The service was great. This is a diner, with a back room bar, in case you want to hang out and drink.

    Peter Pan never disappoints and I believethe best diner in Fort Lauderdale. Always good food and great service. The parking was almost full with only 2 parking spaces remaining. A busy Sunday morning crowd inside as well. I had the meatloaf special with mash potatoes, gravy, veggies and chicken rice soup. I recommend Peter Pan and you should give a try.

    Turkey melt (not cheese) with side of fries
    Ilene F.

    In all the years I have lived in FL, I have never been to Peter Pan. I am sorry that I missed out! It's a typical diner. I had a turkey melt without the cheese & extra sauerkraut. I know, but I didn't want cheese. The turkey is real off the bone turkey. Service was very good. My friend had the chicken souvlaki and said it was very good too. We will be back.

    Came again to Peter Pan this morning 8am on a Saturday to ask if they can seat 8 to 15 of us for a birthday brunch for a friend in the group. "No problem, we'll setup a table in the back and whoever shows up can sit." Everyone felt welcomed the moment they arrived, we were 12 total. The food was fantastic, the French toast, pancakes, sunny side up eggs cooked to perfection and the sausages were terrific. The coffee was also memorable, I drink it black so it matters to me. Plenty of parking and smiling friendly faces. 10/10 awesome impromptu brunch

For our main dishes, we tried two different types of Benedict: the short rib and the crab cake. Both were excellent, but the short rib Benedict edged out just a bit with its rich, savory flavors. That said, the crab cake Benedict did not disappoint either which they were generous with the crab, and it tasted incredibly fresh. Our cocktails were just as good as the food and made the whole brunch experience even better. The perfect weekend brunch vibe. Can't wait to go back!

We had to ask for several things a few times, and we never received refills on water. I asked to keep a menu to order an extra drink or cocktail but was never able to bc the server was no where to be found! He never came by to ask how we were, but he spent at least 7 minutes chitchatting with the table behind us stating how he "remembers them", and will try to "remember your orders for next time bc you come here a lot". Imagine if he offered services like that to ALL the guest? Well, enough was enough, and I was ready to leave. Guess who appeared with the bill and WOULD NOT LEAVE OUR TABLE-SIDE bc he was seriously focused on the amount of the "extra" tip my Hubby was going to leave. He didn't bother to clear any of the dirty dishes from our table, and never asked about ordering anything else even after picking up the menu I'd asked him to leave earlier. He was focused on my Hubby completing the payment. That's when I spoke up and said looking directly at the server, "a gratuity is automatically included, so do not leave an extra tip bc the service did not deserve the gratuity he's already getting". The young man looked at me shocked but didn't say anything. The food was okay but the service reduced any possible of a better rating.

It's about the same quality as the free "continental breakfast" most cheap hotels offer except at the hotel it's still warm and you get refills on coffee and the waffle is freshly made and hot enough to melt butter. No free refills on coffee here unless you buy their "pour over," and then you get one small refill. The strainer for the coffee was stained and filthy when it was brought out, so they're not using fresh ones or even cleaning thoroughly between uses. GF had a meatless omelet and a smoothie. Her omelet was hot so obviously it was made fresh unlike mine. I told the waiter my food was cold and he swore he saw them "take it out of the oven," but nothing I ordered would be cooked in any over other than a microwave oven. Total bill for two: $60+. This was with a 30% discount on my plate for my food being served cold. Honestly you'll have a better, fresher meal at IHOP or Waffle House or Denny's, for a fraction of the price and you'll get coffee refills.
