    Great restaurant. I had the bacon cheeseburger with a Strawberry Daiquiri, both really good. The service was great and the food was fast to be ready. I’d definitely recommend it. 9/10

    I liked this place because the server staff were really nice. You also get a lot of food for the price apparently inflation has not been pushed to the menu prices at least yet. The place does have a little Peter Pan sparkle with a very inclusive vibe and that makes the coffee even better.

    This is a good breakfast place. They have a big breakfast menu selection. The food is good. The service was nice and friendly. I enjoyed my time here. . . . The restaurant is easy to find. It's next to the railroad. It has a big sign with a picture of Peter Pan. The place has plenty of parking spaces behind. . . . The lox box was good. it was like a lox platter with a bagel. The bagel tasted good and fresh. I liked it. The portion was a good gone.

    We found this diner on Google so we decided to try it out and see what the hype was about. We were immediately seated, the waiter was very attentive and very friendly, he made sure we liked the food and had everything we needed. The food was amazing, the pancakes were perfect and so was everything else. I would definitely come again.

    Classic Greek diner with an expansive menu. They have all the breakfast staples plus lunch and dinner specials. Food was ready quickly and hit the mark of diner food. Looking forward to trying their Greek food in the future!

    Been a loyal customer for years. Good, standard diner food. Service has been off lately... New servers or kitchen staff??? Would be 5 stars except for their silly policy of not allowing a soft drink to be served in place of hot tea or coffee with their early bird special. As you can see from the attached picture, these beverages are priced the same!! The server asked the manager... No go...

    My new local go-to since moving to the area. I've eaten here at least 5 times now in a month. Always great friendly service. My favs are Lamb Shanks, Roast Lamb Leg (Sunday only) and the chicken soups. For good wholesome eating you can't beat this fine establishment around since before I was born 😍

    Love Peter Pan Diner! A true Diner Experience! Dreams really do come true! Thanksgiving day I ventured out on Brightline train from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale to fulfill my wish to return to the Peter Pan Diner! Our family and my late husband’s favorite Diner and it was a family tradition for 25 years!!! It surpassed all my expectations! Omg! A warm welcome from the host and the owners! Great service from Barbara! They were busy and she was attentive and helpful! Wow! I started with a glass of delicious white wine! I chose the most delicious Prime Rib dinner! It was perfectly cooked medium and cut like butter!! The bread and butter, salad and veggies were absolutely delicious and soooo much food! I don’t know how they do it! Huge portions and the best quality! It may have been the most delicious Prime Rib I’ve ever had and I go to 5 Star Steakhouses! It was Thanksgiving and they were very busy but I was never rushed. One person sitting alone taking up a booth and as a widow holidays are always an emotional challenge but I truly felt like family! I actually made friends with neighboring families.. It’s an ambiance of family, great food and service! The menu is extensive! Something for everyone!! I chose the Boston Cream Pie for dessert ! So glad I did… it was huge and so fresh and moist, so much custard and chocolate ganache .. absolutely delicious! Things that dreams are made of.. Thank you for a delicious memorable experience and walk down memory lane! I will definitely be back soon! I highly recommend!!

    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.

    So my sister and I were on the hunt for a breakfast spot containing a bar. I know of Peter Pan from its hay day commercial on local TV. Safe to say this place still holds water. Servers Leslie and Darryl were top notch. Drink menu is delicious and servers suggestions were on point. This place has plenty of free parking just east of Dixie Highway. The only complaint, I miss their old moving sign. Love Peter Pan Diner.

    Leslie deserves a million stars 🌟 🤩 ✨️ 💖 his serve was superb! Ensuring that my food came out good and very attentive that I was ok. He came back and asked if I needed anything along with the beverage I ordered he brought water without me asking. Food was delicious and I ate it all! His serve, attention and customer service I award winning! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

    If you're looking for a true diner experience with a gigantic menu, Peter Pan Diner is a great choice. It's an early 1990s vibe inside the place, but it's comfortable, clean, and decently maintained. The staff members were exceptionally friendly, and the food was good. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were large. We'll be back.

    We had an amazing experience last night for our first ever visit to Peter Pan Diner. Our server, Gail was incredible. She actually told us she was fairly new, but she was attentive and on top of everything. Other staff members were also fabulous. We had a fried shrimp appetizer, my wife had a patty melt and I had the sisco melt which is made with a veggie burger. We also had a couple of alcoholic beverages. Even though this restaurant has been here for a long time it is new to us and we can’t wait to go back. The menu is extensive and everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing.

    Very nice restaurant! We went on father's day 2023. Food was amazing and priced reasonably. Service was great along with atmosphere. The lounge is separate from the restaurant with 2 separate entrances. So your not bothered by the early morning drinkers. I had the eggs Copenhagen, very delicious. My brother had the Mi Hammi Slammi, which he said was good as well. Coffee was $3 bottomless cup. Tastes good, but pricey. I guess the price of coffee would be my only complaint.

    I ordered an eight ounce sirloin steak. The steak was thin and fatty (see photo) with little flavor. In all likelihood it wasn’t a sirloin. This conclusion is unavoidable because sirloins are naturally lean with a bold beefy flavor. When I complained after I finished, the owner stated I should have identified the problem before I started eating. When I suggested that the cook should not have used that meat, I was told not to blame the cook. This place is cheap. However, you get what you pay for. In addition to being fatty with no flavor, the meat had not been seasoned and had a nasty burnt taste. My advice: spend an extra $8 to $10 and get a real sirloin steak that is prepared properly.

    A cozy place to enjoy casual food. The restaurant is very clean and well organized with energetic busy staff. The food was mediocre with reasonable price.

    My father and I have been eating here since I was a kid(5 years old), and they have the same staffing, warm, welcoming, loving, friendly, and kind. The food always feels like home to me. If you look for a great breakfast and a smile, Peter Pan Diner is the best for both

    This was a great experience. The food was quick, fast and plentiful, two bites in I knew it was spot on (1 bite omelet, one bite potatoes). Had the 4 egg omelet and could not finish it all, unusual for me. Asked how the got the name and supposedly "pulled from a hat". Anyway while return when I'm back in Fort Lauderdale.

    Peter Pan Diner is an institution! Honestly I never have had anything bad here- everything on the menu is great. My personal favorite is the avoglemono soup, French toast, and the omelettes. All the sandwiches are great too! They also have a full bar so it’s great for a hair of the dog breakfast. Basically it’s a friendly local diner with great selection, wonderful service, and good prices. Highly recommended.

    Still like stepping back a few years when you walk through those doors. Service and speed was decent. My favorite is the feta burger. It is truly one of my favorite burgers anywhere around. Love that charbroiled taste and crispness topped off by a solid slab of feta cheese. The sweet potato fries were also good.

    Decent diner. Fairly good ham steak, excellent mimosa, adequate coffee, over-cooked home fries and ok service.

    Really great diner. The staff was really nice and made sure we had a good time. The food was very tasteful and with a lot of options to choose from!

  • 5/5 Matthew P. 1 year ago on Google
    Our server Brior was very good! We enjoyed the broiled snapper and stuffed cabbage and the 2 sides with each entree plus bread and soup or salad. Enough food for 2 meals.

  • 5/5 Robert L. 1 year ago on Google
    I am so glad we found this place. The name alone pulled me in so we had to try it. My friends and I had just gotten done with work and probably smelled a little sweaty but the staff was still warm and welcoming. Daryl, our server, was amazing, made us feel comfortable instantly, and read our minds about what we needed to drink. He was also on point with suggesting what to eat without really saying what we were in the mood for. Without any reason, he suggested their souvlaki and I have been craving Mediterranean food so it was perfect. The portions were massive. You get your money's worth in terms of food where lots of other places are skimping these days. I would recommend this diner to anyone and everyone.

  • 4/5 FAB R. 1 year ago on Google
    The waitstaff was pretty good despite the volume of customers. There were a few mistakes, but nothing egregious. The menu is fantastic, and the food was very good, but the interior could use a little love. I would give 5 stars considering the price and quality, but it looks a bit like an older bar with only tables instead of a true restaurant if that makes sense.

  • 5/5 Seth R. 2 years ago on Google
    Dinner was very enjoyable. Marsha our awesome server made excellent recommendations and truly helped make it a nice evening. My wife and I are looking forward to seeing her again and sampling more from the menu. Many thanks.

    I love the western omelette with American cheese for breakfast. For lunch, I love the chicken salad club sandwich. I've only been twice but so far so good. Also, service is great. Definitely recommend trying.

  • 5/5 Greg J. 5 months ago on Google
    This place has been around forever. It's practically a landmark. The menu hasn't changed much over the years and I hadn't been to this location in some time. I thought it might be a good idea to check it out and see how things were. The food was as good as I remember it. The service was on par. There's always plenty of things to choose from the menu and a variety of desserts. The meals are modest and some dishes would qualify as comfort food. It's nothing fancy it's satisfying. The decor has changed over the years. It's currently fresh and modern-looking. Give this place a try. It's open all the time and at times it can be quite busy. Parking may be an issue depending on the time of day but it is a decent-sized lot.

    Hi. A friend of mine and I went Wednesday night for dinner. I used to go regularly, but this was only my second visit of the Covid era. The bang for your buck remains in force there. We had two main courses, 2 sides each, and soup, and it came to around $35, before tip, but with soft drinks. Shirley took excellent care of us, making sure we had refills of our sodas, and was super concerned when my friend hardly touched his main course, just eating the soup and the sides. When we assured her that he was just full, she seemed visibly relieved. Historically, the service can be hit or miss, depending on your server, but for diner food, the quality and price remains. They are now only open until midnight - I miss stumbling in there at 3 am!

  • 2/5 Ziggy N. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was decent but the waiter was rude and rushing. When I asked another waiter for her to come over she brushed us off and said she was too busy and anything we had to say or need to have the other waiter take care of it... Now I understand it was around the holidays so it can get busy but to be rude about when we are looking at her was enough for us and yes we still tipped her but it could've been bigger if she would've just been more productive and polite to us!!

    Good spot for any type of meal, came here with my brother for brunch. I had the roast beef sandwich with fries and my brother had a breakfast special. Good classic diner, great service and a nice spot to dine in at. Would recommend to anyone in Fort Lauderdale.
