Peter Pan is a diner. Their diner food is good. Burgers, sandwiches, omelets. A reliable restaurant.

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 read more

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. read more

4/5/26- Easter- Of course lines outside the door! Of course Peter Pan Diner was the first choice for so many! I love to sit in the beautifully updated lounge at the Bar! The bar is filled with Peter Pan fans! I was in good company! I Am amazed how the team including the owner worked together like a fine oiled machine! I ordered my Chardonnay with ice on the side and our conversations with my bar-mates began! I ordered the spanakopita! The couple at the end of the bar ordered the Lamb shank over Orzo. It was a thing of beauty! The presentation was epic! They said it was amazing.it was My spanakopita- Spinach Pie -was definitely better than mine and better than any I've ever had! The combination of herbs, feta cheese and eggs makes for a creamy texture and we can all agree it's the best Ive ever had! A festive family atmosphere tops it off! I love Peter Pan!! read more

I just returned after a 30 year delay but the best waited for us! Clean, inviting and friendly with a killer menu. We are so happy to be back. Son had over hard eggs sausage and pancakes and great coffee, I went for lunch under the low carb section the triple salad of tuna chicken and egg salads with tomato and cucumber and lettuce plenty left over for dinner. All salads prepared wonderfully!! Coffee never ending and the water refreshing. Perfect read more

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. read more

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. read more

Love this place!! The food is always on point! Dessert is never a miss and the bar has its vibe!! Now the service is impeccable and always delivers the goods the best way! When I head to South Florida, this is my place from home. Thank you always for making us feel welcomed! read more

This place hasn't changed a bit since the early 90s. Anyone who was single in South Florida during the 90s definitely was here at two or three in the morning after a good night out! I was in Fort Lauderdale for the weekend and over the last few weeks, this place has come up in conversation so on the way home I had to stop for breakfast. Peter Pan is on Oakland Park Boulevard and there's a big parking lot in the back. For years it was a 24 hour diner now it's open only until 11. When I walked in, I couldn't believe it. It looked exactly like it did way back when. Breakfast is still really good. I had an order of pancakes with bacon. Pancakes were light and fluffy and the bacon was crisp. Super reasonable too. No one in the area has prices like this. If you're looking for omelettes, most omelettes were under $13 and it's a four egg omelette. Not the fanciest place. It's your typical old school diner with pretty decent food and lots of memories. read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Peter Pan Diner - Turkey melt (not cheese) with side of fries - Diners Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Yay for teamwork Service was OK. The young man that served us kinda didn't follow instructions but because he had help it made it better. I asked to hold my pancakes and all he did was wait like two minutes after bringing the food and brought the pancakes right out I asked for warm syrup Which I understand they cannot do so I asked for hot water and I heat up the syrup myself none of that was done. In fact, I had to ask for syrup a while after the pancakes have been given the purpose of me holding the pancakes, so they remain hot when I'm ready to consume them so I end up taking them home have the portion of eggs were given when you order scramble turkey sausage was great And the corned beef hash looked awesome. I heard no complaints from over there. I haven't been there in a while since before Covid in fact when they were 24 hours they utilize the lounge I know they get business. It's just terrifying to see the restaurant world is not what it wants was pre-Covid. I chunk it up to the lack of quality servers Because the food quality is still green. I love to go in and see the homemade pies cakes and desserts I may be very old because I remember back in the day being hired as a graveyard girl that's wear short shorts with stockings, but I was unable to accept the job because my husband said heck no it didn't stop us from dying in though I took a carrot cake home which is one of his favorites thank goodness it still is I'll have to go back with a bigger appetite so I can try the gyros read more

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. read more

Peter Pan Diner - Seating - Diners Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I really enjoyed this spot for exactly what it is , a classic diner. No frills, just a quick, homemade meal that hits the spot. It's been family-owned and operated for years, which you can feel in the warm, attentive service. We went for a Father's Day breakfast and got there just before the rush, so it was quiet and relaxed. The ambiance was chill, and to top it off, the kids' pancakes came shaped like Mickey ears, a fun little surprise that made my kiddos morning! This is one of those nostalgic spots that is easily overlooked by most people and even locals but everyone has fond memories of because of its true consistency and appreciation for the community. read more

Been going to Peter Pan since it opened in 1979 the menu hasn't changed much the only thing is when you got a cheeseburger you could get nice steak fries but now they give you these little tiny string fries that are sometimes burnt eat lunch there often and enjoy chicken salad sandwich and use to get fries for a $1 more now $1: 50 but those string fries aren't worth it just my opinion don't order I eat dinner there 2-3 times a month and the Chicken Fracies is good I usually either get with the pasta or baked potato just don't care for bed of rice read more

This Diner is a landmark in our community and they seemed to be having a rough patch the last time I left a review.

We decided to visit our favorite go to place for breakfast.. I had been in the mood for their lox box platter.

The lox was amazing very flavorful and thin the way it should be. read more

I enjoy the food and atmosphere at Peter Pan, however, I have to give it a two on the account of the hostess. I visit the area every so often and I ask nicely for a booth each time. Hellen always walks we straight to a table when there are several two people booths available. When I point that out to her, she rudely flips her head around and takes me to a booth and says nothing to me. You might say she is follow a pattern for seating but each time she immediately seats other people at the same tables I asked to be seated at. If they didn't have seating available, that's understandable. But there is always something available when I am there. If it had only happen once, I would say nothing. It has happened three separate times months apart. Simply rude. read more

Love this place! Such a great menu with a variety of different cultural foods, such as Greek, Mexican, Italian, etc.. They even worked around my vegan specifications. I wish they had more vegan options on the menu so I don't have to create one when I go there. My family loves this place and I'm there often, but I have to design my own meals. Otherwise it's a great place!!! read more

@Peter Pan management As the person at the front who greeted us was the same person that was there when we left I would think that if we were really valued as patrons they would have tried to stop us .. question why we were leaving .. make an attempt to get us to stay. Like I said it was pretty slow and as we're leaving my boyfriend said 'maybe another time' and all we were told was ok. We shouldn't have had to do anything. read more

I've been eating in this diner for over 20 years and I've always found it enjoyable. Friendly service, good food and reasonable prices. However, my last several trips there proved disappointing. The food and service are still good. However, the prices are out of control. On one visit I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and had tomato added to it. I was charged a dollar for a thin slice of tomato. On another visit I ordered a mug of hot water and a tea bag and was charged $3. And my last visit I ordered a ginger ale and was charged $3. These prices are insane and can't be tolerated. I will not be back. read more

Most restaurants will bring all of that out, and what a shame .......cut up lemons go to waste, and they're not cheap! She not only offered Real maple syrup for our French toast, but clarified how much better it tastes!, and sharing that it really is worth getting, in her opinion ...... Nice extra touches, and all of it done with a great smile, and attitude!!! Peter Pan Diner is lucky to have a server like her! read more
