Reviews
We went to Lester’s Diner in Fort Lauderdale and overall had a good experience, mostly thanks to our waitress Alicia. The place has that classic diner vibe, and the food itself tasted great.
Alicia was wonderful from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive, and checked on us often without being overbearing. She made sure we had everything we needed and really helped make the meal enjoyable. The only downside with the food was that it came out a bit cold, which was disappointing, but the flavors were still solid.
Unfortunately, the woman who seated us and later handled checkout really took away from the experience. When she walked us toward our table, she threw the menus down without saying a word and walked off. At checkout, she called “next,” rolled her eyes, and had an awful tone when we approached, like we were inconveniencing her just by paying. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary.
Because of Alicia and the quality of the food, I’d still come back, but the front-of-house attitude definitely needs improvement. With better consistency in service, this place could easily be a standout.
We went all out on the lunch specials. The Soup & Sandwich combo with a classic BLT and creamy tomato soup was pure comfort. The Homemade Meatloaf Sandwich and the Chicken & Waffles were both hearty and ‘tasty as heck’–just like Grandma used to make. But the real showstoppers? The Open-Face Beef Brisket and that legendary Beef Brisket Lester’s Melt. Absolutely delicious! Great food, jukebox vibes, and top-notch service. If you’re in Florida, don’t be a square–make sure to stop by Lester’s!
I’m a real fan of Diners and this is one of the best!
They have real pies, Southern (charm) service and almost anything you could want on a menu.
I had a tuna melt with cheddar cheese on the bread, a pickle, and coslaw.
We then ordered cherry pie a la model and a black and white cookie.
My only complaint was that the pie wasn’t warmed up, and the cookie had the hard royal icing and not the soft one. Other than that the food was SO GOOD and it was a fun environment.
Update: We had to go back for breakfast! I got the spartan omelette with gyro met feta and tzatziki sauce. Wife split the 222. Everything was great.
