    Cups for sale
    Andrea B.

    Went with my husband for lunch since we were in the area and I'm really glad we stopped in. The food was as good as at the other two Lester's Diners, one being in Sunrise the other one in Fort Lauderdale. They have a huge menu and you can get breakfast, lunch or dinner. There is really something for everyone there. We both get a cup of their homemade vegetable soup that was absolutely delicious! Loaded with lots of broth and a rich broth, this was the perfect start to our meal. I decided on the hot pastrami sandwich and my husband ordered the Reuben. Mine came with a side of potato salad and his with coleslaw. Both sandwiches were really good but I ended up switching my potato salad with his coleslaw because the potato salad had a bit of a sweet taste to it. I put a little bit of the coleslaw on my sandwich, and it took it up even another notch. We were both too full for dessert but they had a display of wonderful looking desserts. Maybe next time. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and our server was just great. Would definitely stop by if I'm in the area again.

    Steak & eggs

    Lester's Diner I guess you can say I've been to finer I ordered the steak and eggs And got hash browns and wheat as my bread What I can say is the steak was just ok A little dry for medium rare I say The hashbrown was crispy and the other breakfast items just came off normal Nothing too good, or bad but just in the middle Lastly most diners I know open 24 hours But this one just until 10 pm, but they do serve breakfast every hour

    GOOD coffee

    Nostalgia at its finest. The food here is delicious. This is just like an old timer diner, and exceptional food is served. The coffee was hit as it should be. The food came out timely. The server was very pleasant.

    Wow, this skirt steak was delicious

    You can't go wrong with Lester's Diner. Good food, great service and reasonable pricing. This location even has draft beer, desserts and donuts. Got here around noon on a Sunday, the parking lot was packed, but there was still plenty of room inside. We were seated promptly and wow was the service excellent. Our drinks came slow, but the service was fast. And tge food can quickly and it was amazing. I had skirt steak and eggs. The steak was perfectly cooked. I was reading some of the other comments for Lester's and my experience was not that. I have been to some very exclusive restaurants and the service and food quality surpassed thise restaurants and far surpassed my expectations. Thank you Lester's for giving me a perfect Sunday breakfast. Yum, yum, and yum yum!!!

    Always good food is always hot. I love some grits. I tried a new thing this day. It was the breakfast steak wrap. It was so hot and delicious. It really did the job. I took the other half to work. The waitress was very pleasant and of course this will continue to be my go to wish I could've stayed for a milkshake, but I just didn't have the time.

    My undercooked toast and my finally cooked potatoes

    I stopped by Lester's Diner in Margate for brunch today and when I received my order, it was nothing like I ordered. I wound up with overcooked eggs and undercooked potatoes. The toast was okay and so was the service from my server Heather. I wish that I could write a better review, but unfortunately this restaurant lacked a lot to rate it any higher.

    Phenomenal food, our waitress Maite was terrific, hospitable and funny, and on top of everything. The location is odd, around a lot of abandoned buildings, but hey, ample parking! Bathrooms were decent but not great. I did not realize that this was a chain. We are going to try another for fun. Good times!

    This is an old review that I realized I never posted. We had an awesome server with a great personality! Unfortunately I didn't get his name. My husband and his friend ordered the turkey platter, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. We were told they ran out of mashed potatoes (it was around 8:30 pm) so they got French fries instead. It wasn't a big deal. I was on the fence between a couple of dishes and ended up ordering the gyro platter which came with a side salad and French fries. The gyro was surprisingly very good! We had an excellent experience at this location and would definitely come back if we're in the area!

    Haven't been here in forever, came on a Saturday night and we're seated right away. The restaurant was clean and the staff is very friendly! The menu has plenty of options, they even had draft beer BOGO! Unfortunately we were in a rush and starving so we were in and out. Will absolutely be back to check out more options! No complaints on the food we did order, the French fries are a 10 out of 10! The mozzarella sticks are too good, the kids cheeseburger was cooked to perfection! The Greek Combo was chefs kiss! That stuffed grape leaf (drool)!

    Turkey club, potato salad
    Christina D.

    I've been to Lester's Diner once before for breakfast and had a good experience. I decided to go during my lunch hour this time. I sat at the bar as I was dining alone. The server was kind and attentive. I ordered a turkey club sandwich with potato salad. The sandwich was huge and the turkey was of good quality. Unfortunately, the bacon was pretty chewy. Otherwise, I enjoyed it. The potato salad was average, if a bit runny. Overall I would return for breakfast, but the service was great.

    Super long hotdog with corned beef on top!

I'm sure that location is still great but I was able to live without having to buy donuts for some years. Then came an impromptu trip to Margate since we saw there is a Dandee Donut Factory there. And Costco. Because why not. The time to eat donuts is now. We only bought donuts to go so I can't speak to the dine-in experience or food. The diner counter and tables looked fun to sit at. Their breakfast sandwiches sound amazing and I drooled a little accidentally looking at their diner menu. Did they always make bagels? I'm not that much of a Dandee connoisseur but I feel inspired to go back and try the bagels and their food food. The counter wasn't very busy when we walked in, thanks to two staff workers who were taking orders. Imagine my delight when we asked for a half dozen donuts and the gentleman staffer said we can choose 7. I will now miscount dozens from now on. I asked for the sour cream donuts because the shelf for them was empty (gasp) and he reassured me that they have more in the back to refill. We asked what the crunch part of the blueberry crunch donut was and he said the blueberries themselves have been prepared to be crunchy. We got 2 of those and they were the best bites in the whole box. The donuts were chock full of flavor of the blueberries and the crunch from them was the unexpected texture you want in a donut to cut through the dense dough. No wonder these donuts are one of their best selling ones. We got an apple fritter because it was massive, like a bear claw ate a stack of biscuits. The cinnamon and apple tastes were present but the dough was a little empty to me, so it left a lot of oil taste. Like it reminded you that all these buggers have been deep fried when you don't want to be reminded. The chocolate, double chocolate and cookies and cream donuts all used the same chocolate donut base which was a little dry to me but had nice cocoa flavor. It's strange but I ended up preferring some frosting to the chocolate donuts to have some moisture to the bite. With carb loading season coming up, I'll plan for another excursion to Margate to get a half dozen box of sour cream and blueberry crunch donuts! I mayyyy share.

Their Caesar salad was bomb, very fresh and nice dressing flavor. You can add your choice of protein. Burger was good as well, nicely cooked and good flavor. Pizza was a bit disappointing. They have different soups depending on the day. Today's was tomato, surprisingly good. You can add bread for $1 (bread and butter were yummy). Now dessert is where they had me at. We chose their creme brulee and oh la laaaaa. Delicious. I did feel some menu items were overpriced but overall good experience today.

Unfortunately, someone in management apparently looked at a perfectly good menu item that customers actually enjoyed and thought, "You know what? Let's get rid of that." The potatoes were the reason I came back. Crispy, flavorful, and somehow capable of making any meal better. Now they're gone, replaced by disappointment and confusion. I asked if they would be coming back and was told to write a review. For now, it seems these potatoes have been permanently exiled for reasons known only to the menu gods. The rest of the meal was fine, but it's hard to enjoy anything when you're mourning the loss of what was clearly the star of the show. Removing your best side dish is a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off. Until the potatoes return, I'll likely be spending my dining budget at establishments that haven't declared war on happiness.

The lovely hostess guided us to a booth by a window. We were greeted by our equally lovely server Jazmin (sp?). Btw, she rocks! Upon perusing the lunch menu we jumped at the deviled eggs appetizer. These beauties were two beet stained eggs cut in half topped with a spicy yolk filling and garnished with scallions, chicken skin crunch and trout roe. OH MY! My dear friend and dining companion was leaning towards a salad but we put on our thinking caps and decided that the fried chicken entree, which was accompanied by two sides and a biscuit was the best bang for our taste buds. And indeed it was. She ordered two pieces with greens and mac + cheese while I chose three pieces (thinking ahead to lunch tomorrow) plus the mac chz plus sweet potato soufflé (that was Thanksgiving babe!). The chicken was fresh out of the fryer and we had nothing but praise for the sides. To top it off...Nanner Puddin'! Just like mom made but no Jello pudding here. Amazing. Since it was a weekday, we got to meet the chef and give kudos. (He's a happy dude) I wouldn't care to come here on the weekend when it's packed but I can see why folks do. The place is enormous with a huge outside venue and a sprawling banyan tree. Plus the Sunday brunch menu is tempting. But for a chill lunch with nice employees and scrumptious food on a Thursday, we were star struck and satisfied.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a cute outdoor bar area with stools where you can eat and hang out, which gave the place a really nice vibe. The music was a great mix of R&B and oldies too. Now let's talk service... for me, service is everything, and unfortunately that's what made this experience disappointing. Our waitress, Haley, was pretty inattentive throughout the meal. We asked for extra Caesar dressing and never got it, and it was honestly hard to get a hold of her most of the time. Because of that alone, I'd probably think twice before coming back. As for the food -- it was hit or miss. We started with the wings as an appetizer. They were flavorful, but nothing memorable. I'd probably skip them next time and try something else. I ordered the crispy Cobb salad because it sounded amazing on the menu, but it was a letdown. It was mostly lettuce with barely any chicken, and I had to mix the whole salad myself. At a restaurant, I kind of expect a Cobb salad to come already tossed together. Also... no blue cheese available? Come on now lol. My boyfriend got the fried chicken with sweet potato fries and mac & cheese. I will say, everything came out HOT, so you can tell the food is made fresh. The mac & cheese didn't look impressive at first, but it tasted SO good. The sweet potato fries were delicious too. My sister ordered the lobster pasta, and honestly the portion size shocked me in the best way. They were generous with the lobster, which almost never happens, and she loved it. My daughter got the crispy chicken sandwich and said it was the best sandwich she's ever had, so that was definitely a win. Overall, the food itself wasn't bad at all -- my salad was just a flop. If the service had been better, this review probably would've been very different. Not sure if I'd come back, but maybe on a different day with a different server.
