Our Guestbook
“ Went today for late lunch was amazing pricy but good food! It's nice having a staple in the community to go to and always great to pick up family and take them to a place that was on drive dives and dinners! ”
“ We were tired and hungry after our flight and after looking online for dinner options we agreed to come here. I am so glad we did. Food was delicious. I had the turkey dinner and my wife had the chicken Caesar wrap. Our friend had the Pompano hot dog. Everything was hot and fresh. Service was also very good. ”
“ A few years ago my stepdad introduced my hungry kids to Lester's when they got off the airplane. My youngest has been dreaming about the fort lauderdale (a foot long hot dog topped with our homemade chili, onions and cheddar) ever since. We landed once again at FLL and my youngest was very torn. between Lester's foot long hot dog or the insanely large ice cream sundaes from jacksons. Decisions, decisions. Lester's won. I could hardly stomach having this hot dog at my table so certainly wasn't going to indulge in it, but fortunately this diner has a very large menu or other items. I opted for an omelette, which filled me up quite nicely. And my son went to ton on his hot dog, which doesn't look too appetizing to me, but he absolutely loves it. I was eyeing the delicious looking carrot cake on my way out, but knew we would have plenty of good desserts in store for us in South Florida over the next week. There's so many good spots in South florida, but if you're looking for a foot long hot dog (or many other options) close to the airport this is a solid choice. ”
“ Amazing service from Debra! The food was not only delicious and of great quality but also appetizing to see. This was our first time visiting with my partner, and we both agreed instantly, after just one look at each other, that this is our new go-to spot. Open for 57 years, and it's clear why! ”
“ Stopped here for breakfast after our check-out and enroute to the FLL Airport. Waited about 20 minutes for a table, but no issues with flight times. Food was TERRIFIC and just a fabulous as our last time at Lester's (Pompano) but this is a 24-hour diner at this location so it's busy all the time. As we are from NJ, we "live" for good Diners, and Lester's had the atmosphere, the decor, and service that was top notch and would make many Jersey Diners jealous in comparison. The next time we're in Fort Lauderdale or Pompano Beach, a breakfast (or dinner, or both) at Lester's will be a must! ”
“ Love that Lester's has lots of Greek dishes in addition to salad Burgers, milkshakes, Etc. My friends had the stuffed grape leaves which they enjoyed and they also split a cheeseburger and onion rings. I got an order of fries which we're okay not the best I've had in the world. Look forward to coming back and trying the Greek food. ”
“ Dropped our daughter off at Fort Lauderdale airport at 5:00 AM and decided to stop in at Lester's just down the street. Walked in greeted quickly. We were seated in a booth for two. The restaurant was decorated like an old time dinner with red shinny seats and metal walls. The restaurant was very clean and well maintained. I ordered the 2-2-2 scrambled eggs pancakes with bacon. Pancakes were tasty and fluffy bacon also cooked well. My husband ordered cheese omelet which was loaded with cheese and nice portion. Hash browns were lacking in flavor and not crispy. The waitress was very friendly and came by often to check on us. ”
“ Our server was Michele. She was warm and friendly and provided quick and accurate service. Our table ordered a variety of things. I personally ordered the BLT which I thought was on the very plain side. My coworker really enjoyed the Philly cheese, steak and a salad I added pictures for context. ”
“ A perfect 7x 24 diner that had all that you heart can desire . In this case I wanted bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns , plus fresh squeezed O.J. The bacon was ordered extra crispy and it was amazing , and they did not skimp. The eggs and hashbrowns were great , and they wheat bread was nice and flavorful. They have a huge selection and at midnight this deliver excellent food, great interior , the cashier and wait staff were friendly and helpful . This place is a destination and worth a visit . ”
“ We stopped by for breakfast after a red eye into FLL. Super close to the airport and open on Thanksgiving day. Service was great! Everyone was so friendly. Seems like a locals place, but, we felt like they treated us like locals as well. Love the old school diner feel of the place. Food was cooked perfectly except for my hash browns. They seemed like they weren't fresh. The portions were just right. Prices were very reasonable for what you get. definitely glad we stopped and would go back. ”
