Of all the Reuben and tuna melt-peddling, pancake, and egg-slinging joints in the Sunshine State, Oakland Park restaurant Peter Pan Diner has just been declared the best. The general-interest Reader’s Digest picked the 44-year-old eatery last week in its ranking of the most memorable and delicious greasy spoons across the country. Peter Pan has for decades been an LGBTQ+ hangout only 1 mile from the famous Wilton Drive. After a rigorous scientific method of investigating customer ratings, Tripadvisor scores, and local gossip to find the absolute best diner in every state, it chose the diner. It is easy to imagine why Peter Pan wins the crown - The distinctive green-and-white building with a Disney Lost Boy on its logo, perched where Oakland Park Boulevard meets Dixie Highway, is a whole nostalgic vibe, refusing to grow up even as Fort Lauderdale sprouts skyscrapers around it. And what Queer person doesn’t want diner food that features a fairy named ‘Tinkerbell’, giant alligators, pirates, a girlfriend best friend and a villain with a hook? #Queer Up South Florida & Florida
