This is a “real deal” diner!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one. If you like diners, you will absolutely positively love the Peter Pan Diner.

The joint is open 7 days a week 6am-11pm.

By the way, Peter Pan Diner makes a CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP ($6) that absolutely kills!

1216 East Oakland Park Boulevard
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33334
(954) 565-7177

Let me start by saying, “that I am not trying to cure cancer” with this Peter Pan Diner “writeup.” This is a 365 days/24 hours a day joint. It has been around since 1978 (I seriously doubt that the decor has been updated one iota since then) and serves “basic” diner food at diner prices. If you are looking for gourmet stuff, don’t even think of walking into Peter Pan Diner. This is a very good place to know about, “like” last night at 11pm when I was driving home from AAA after watching the Miami Heat lose to the Detroit Pistons by 2 points. A cheeseburger, fries and a Coke “helped.”

End of story.

* Humor!

An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings on display at that time.

“I have good news and bad news,” the owner replied. “The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings.”

“That’s wonderful,” the artist exclaimed. “What’s the bad news?”

“The guy was your doctor…”

Trust me, I know, purely a major subjective call!

***** Olde Towne Grille, 209 Southwest Albany Avenue, Stuart, Florida 34994, (772) 888-2354.

Got a real good fast food breakfast/lunch joint for you guys to check-out, Olde Towne Grille in Stuart.

Real simple tale to tell, yesterday Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats “discovered” Olde Towne Grille and its food was absolute dynamite! Order/pickup at outdoor counter window, no inside seating/ outside- table/counter seating, reasonably priced all-day breakfast stuff/ burgers/ hot dogs/ steaks/ hot & cold subs-wraps-sandwiches/ salads/ sides/ ice cream/ desserts/ daily specials menu.

Let’s wrap-up Olde Town Grille by saying that you can check menu/prices/info at oldetownegrille.com, that the joint is open Monday-Thursday 10am-2pm/ Friday-Sunday 10am-4pm, that if Olde Towne Grille was a whole lot closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode we would eat there every day!

This joint is an absolute must try!

About Us

Our company was founded back in 1954. Oscar Abeles and his entrepreneurial nephew, Leopold Heymann decided it was time to go into the hot dog making business. Oscar was already a partner in a butcher shop when he brought up the idea of making his nephew a partner. When Oscar’s partner refused, they both left and opened a small storefront butcher shop in Washington Heights, NYC. Over time they expanded to a larger facility in the Bronx, NY. Since the day they first opened, Abeles & Heymann dedicated themselves to producing the most delectable, premium quality, gourmet kosher hot dog and provisions.

For over 60 years we have continued following the founding family’s standards for quality, authenticity and mission to provide the finest kosher provisions available. Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance. We provide customers with the ultimate experience in quality and service. Our customers range from major club stores, supermarket chains, stadiums, and now online consumers!

At A&H we make traditional kosher delicacies – pastrami, corned beef, salami, bologna, hot dogs, old world classics – beef fry, liverwurst, kishka,cervelat and modern better for you kosher products – No nitrate added reduced fat and sodium hot dogs, knockwurst, and cocktail franks – unique items like beer flavored and whiskey flavored hot dogs and cognac salami.

Jeff Eats has been getting stuff from “take-out only” Chef Tai’s for something like 10 years.

Over the years, I’ve ordered tons of things like- egg rolls, bbq ribs, pan fried dumplings, roast pork fried rice, sweet & sour pork, pepper steak and I gotta tell you guys, I can’t recall even one outing where the food didn’t work!

If you live, work or play in Chef Tai’s Boca Raton neighborhood, this is a real good joint to know about when your’e looking for delicious Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957!

Was just by Federal Highway and Yamato Road and saw a huge tractor-trailer unloading a shipment of cars- all with New York license plates.

Christmas Day 2014 + 2 Reformed Jews formerly from Brooklyn = Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats giving the nod to Chef Tai’s this year.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about here, I give up!

Jeff Eats’ 11/30/2010 Chef Tai’s “review” is reprinted down below.

For those of you who may not be familiar with Chef Tai’s…it’s a “mom & pop” takeout only Chinese joint, located in a big old-huge crappy strip center and it makes delicious stuff.

Chef Tai’s is a Chinese takeout-only joint in Boca Raton…surprise-surprise (courtesy Gomer Pyle), it is located in a “bombed-out” shopping center- that you probably wouldn’t drive into in a million years. That said…Chef Tai’s makes some delicious stuff. I heard about Chef Tai’s about 5 months ago– have gotten food four times…haven’t been disappointed even once.

Delicious- egg rolls, fried dumplings, bbq ribs, general tso’s chicken, roast pork fried rice, shrimp with black bean sauce, pepper steak.

You can check menu/prices at www.bocamenus.com.

Based on Jeff Eat’s patent-pending “Brooklyn Chinese Food Taste Test”- I gotta give Chef Tai’s a top-notch rating. Trust me on this, the food is really good.

Chef Tai’s is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm, closed on Sunday
