Always a good meal here! Portions are large and many items like homemade. Worth upgrading the desert to the cakes, they are all excellent and take the leftover home for a yummy desert another day! Tried the meatloaf tonight-all beef and tasted homemade. read more

I have to give this place 5 stars, one because I go there a lot, and two- the service is awesome! I ALWAYS request Nick because he is hands down THE BEST SERVER IN TOWN! Always gives me the 5 star treatment. So I discovered this place when I was in the hospital after having given birth to my now 2 year old daughter because they were the only place who delivered waffles at 8 pm! After three days of hospital food I was craving a good waffle and they delivered! Both literally and metaphorically. So I can thank my daughter for this new love for Lester's since I had never eaten there prior. The portions are large so you won't go hungry lol and the menu caters to any and all appetites. It is reasonably priced and has a very historic feel to it so no it's not modern but definitely pays tribute to it's history with cool pictures of margate and coconut creek from decades ago, which I find super cool. Oh did I mention they're open super duper late? Now I haven't been there after hours but I'm Sure it'll beat Denny's late night any day! And I always go for the breakfast but i have tried some lunch dishes (thanks to whoever Is joining me) and they too are great. I know it sounds silly but they have the best French fries!!! Go to Lester's! You'll never go to Denny's or IHOP ever again!!! you Nick! You rock!! read more

I've been to this location only one time and my experience was below average hence three star rating. The other locations I always had a good experience but this last time I went I was real disappointed in the food and the service. I ordered a hamburger, fries and a soda. Simple enough right??? It took forever for my burger to come out and when it did finally come out I took a bite out of it and it was as dry as a hockey puck. Yuck!!! The fries were average and the waitress never came back to refill my soda. I was sitting there thirsty the whole time. Not too sure if I'll be back. I might just stick with coral springs diner. read more

Mediocre at best. Hostess was very unfriendly, I truly believe this was my first restaurant experience where the hostess walked us to the table, dropped our menus on the table and turned her back and walked away. Her demeanor was almost as if she were angry with us. Our server was nice, he took our orders quickly and the food was also out quickly. My husband asked for hot sauce and he never brought it, but that's okay..sometimes you forget. The food was decent. Nothing spectacular, but it satisfied my "breakfast for dinner" craving. They have a lot of options on their menu from breakfast to country fried steak with mashed potatoes. If the hostess wasn't so terrible I would have given 3 stars. read more

Friendly place! Busy good food good service, good prices. Great way to start our last camping trip! read more

We've been several times. It is now our choice for breakfast or diner food. The food is plentiful and well prepared. Service has always been great. The menu is pretty extensive and everything we've gotten has been done right. Waitstaff has been friendly and very helpful with suggestions and substitutions. I have always been asked how everything was when paying at the counter by someone who seemed to genuinely care. The baked goods get me every time. read more

Insanely overpriced for basic food! $39 for lunch for TWO people!? And I only had water! Orange juice is $4.59! Outrageous! The only thing they got going for them is the chicken noodle soup! Way way waaaaaaay overpriced. read more

Overpriced and I was underwhelmed. Food was mediocre at best. Rather go to Ihop, portions where decent and nicely updated but the food did not do it. read more

Love good ole' diner food. The Dinner Special lamb shank was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Soooo tender, literally did not touch a knife. I mixed the sauce with rice and YUMMMMM!!! Greek salad, two sides.... Took enough home for lunch the next day and it tasted even better the day after! Good food, plain n simple... read more

Love Lesters! !!! But so far, I like the one on SR84 better than the one in coconut creek. The staff is friendly but the communication is mediocre. Walked in and wasn't acknowledge until I approached the hostess. She begrudgingly took our beverage order with our waitress, that had a kind demeanor, said "sorry was sat 4tables at one time, so what can I get ya". Hmmm I understand getting over sat at one time but a simple touch base from the waitress or perhaps the hostess could of informed us that our waitress will be a bit. It sucks because I was really looking forward to this visit. I'm giving them two stars instead of one because I love the food and our waitress did make an effort to make it a better experience for us . read more

ordered a bagel and lox platter with onion,tomato, lettuce, olives and spicy peppers. i specified i wanted crisp lettuce and tomato and to make sure it was fresh. when i received my delivery and opened it the lettuce was old & soggy, tomato probably sitting unrefridgerated for the entire day, the amount of lox was pathetic and there was no cream cheese. so i am supposed to have a bagel and lox with nothing on it? i was furious at the lack of a conscious these people had in sending me something that looked like it was 2 weeks old! i drove back to lester's and threw it on the counter and opened it. the girl at the counter was null and void of my aggravation and the manager was a complete unprofessional fool! the first refused to refund my money and then i started getting crazy. i took the wilted old 1 piece of letter and threw it on the counter along with the soggy tomato and the manager told me to calm down. calm down i called for delivery because i just came from surgery and was looking towards this delicious bagel and lox with cream cheese and now i'm driving on pain pills with bandages on my neck from surgery and he's telling me to calm down!!!!! not offering a refund for 10 minutes with a line waiting to pay i got loud and angry and didn't move! finally after 20 minutes and them cashing out other people i took the entire order and threw it at them!!! "i got my refund finally!" i never got an apology! they were mean people, the place was a distance from me and they offered me nothing for my inconvenience even tho they saw i had a hospital bracelet on and all bandaged up! i will never ever go to this pit-hole again! not recommended at all! i don't know if they spit in their food or put it back in the order after it's been dropped on the floor. do not go there!!! the entire lester's staff was rude, looked dirty and unkempt and i did not appreciate "no cream cheese for a lox platter that said with cream cheese!" what a bunch of inconsiderate people especially the manager! i hope they close soon forever and they put up a waa-waa store at least the food is fresh!!!! avoid lester's at all costs! and they have the nerve to raise their prices for what! to not get the order right and then loook at me like i stole the cream cheese! hey idiots, i just had surgery why would i drive back to give you back a rotten meal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kellie mckay, coconut creek read more

I drove past this place 10,000 times and finally stopped in. Had no expectation the menu would be so big. Been back several times and have been happy with everything. If you only go once, go for breakfast and get country fried steak and eggs! read more

I have to say this was the worst pie I have ever had. It was so dried out like it was weeks old. Don't waste your money.

I haven't been here in awhile but will definitely be coming back more frequently. I had THE BEST Ruben since moving to South Florida! My husband's sausage links were HUGE, flavorful and juicy...everything excellent!! Looking for delicious comfort food...this is the spot! Did I mention friendly staff? Waitress was awesome!! Can't wait to come back!!! read more

I've been coming here for years and never had a bad time or a bad meal. I always get the gyro and eggs for breakfast. Absolutely delicious. read more

Lester's Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Margate, Florida

This is a great diner. The menu is vast of selections. They have great diner specials. Typical diner atmosphere.

We have eaten here over 35 years & nothing changes! Would be nice to have larger cleaner bathrooms! Wait staff does there best during heavy seatings. Meal is passable. Sad for an iconic American diner to be so so. What potential for a serious management. read more

I like to find new diners to enjoy a good meal at and I came across this place...it's pretty good. Although, it was extremely cold up in here, the atmosphere feels like you are transported back in time, very large, nice and clean. The service-was cool but could of been a notch better. The food-really tasty with nice portions, which will fill you up pretty quickly.The coffee could have been a little warmer. Anyway, they have a large menu and good prices. **Note: If you are dating someone who enjoys a good portion of food at odd time of the morning and night then check this place out. So, check it...I ordered the apple cinnamon Belgian waffles breakfast, which was so flavorful, fulling and rich...so good, the waffles was nice and fluffy and the apples on top were nice size chunks. Also, their coconut cream pie was smooth with a nice creamy flavor. Good place to have a fulling dinning experience and at a good price. read more

The new renovation is beautiful! They serve breakfast all day which makes me happy :) & have several other menu options. My friend & I went on a Sunday after noon and our experience was great. My eggs were poached perfectly (I'm super picky about that lol) the coffee is amazing and our server was so accommodating. My friend is on a really strict diet and the waitress went out of her way to make sure we were happy. I wish I could remember her name! We will be back this coming Sunday :) read more

My favorite place to eat breakfast. They have the best selection and prices cant be beat. I usually get the Gyro meat & eggs (which also comes with hashbrowns & toast) or the country fried steak (which also comes with eggs, hashbrowns, & toast. The food is all that and then some. I am there every weekend. The pastries seen at the front counter make my mouth water everytime I pass. This place is the real deal. read more

I feel as though Lester's is a place you need to go and check out if you are ever in the area. It is basic diner food, but really a staple in Margate. Coffee is hot and fresh, service is always on point, and you really can't beat the prices. I admit that I need to try more things on the menu, but I wasn't disappointed! You must have a slice of pie or cake as well, it's mandatory if you are going to Lester's/ read more

Service was good. I sat at the sit up bar type area. Food came extremely fast which was NICE because I was on lunch break. There was a few flies flying around which was horrible and grossed me out. Why wouldnt the waitresses at least try and kill them? ewwwww... Food was like $12.00 for Hot Roast Beef with extra gravy (guess they dont typically put gravy on the fries). I also got the cucumber salad. Food was decent but way over priced for what it was. I love diner food but $11.00 is much for what it was. I might have to come back and try breakfast instead? read more

Haven't been here in a while. Walked in to see they remodeled the whole place. It looks great inside. As usual the food did not dissappoint. The portions are huge and tasty. read more

The place is a hidden gem. Ever since my husband took me there for brunch, we've been coming here to satisfy our comfort food cravings. This place has literally every popular dish from traditional American to Greek cuisines. My favorites are grilled cheese sandwich, tuna melt and light fluffy red velvet cake. I'm a pastry person so I know rv cakes taste very different from place to place. This one is pitch perfect! The place is always busy but they will find a table for you. read more

Bland food. There's little to no seasoning... Good servers, hostesses were a bit preoccupied with other things which is understandable. Desserts? Looks good, tastes eh. I don't recommend coming here unless you like hospital food. read more

I've been a long time fan of Lester's since I ate at their original location on State Road 84. I'm not in this area often but when I am I make it a point to stop by because it's always a great experience. The last time I came in I had the matzo ball soup (so good, like my grandmother makes it!), pork chops, and chocolate pudding. All were delicious and I believe they make their puddings and pastries in house. The waitress, Mindy, was very fast and efficient and Takis the manager is always very pleasant and makes sure the customers are enjoying their food. read more

Cheerful, bright, clean, traditional chrome & vinyl decor. We had breakfast in the afternoon. Servings huge. Delicious! My challla French toast was perfect. With big pile of well done bacon - so much I begged my husband to share. Waitstaff cheerful, quick friendly. Coffee good. We look forward to going back. read more

Love having breakfast at Lester's! The bacon and egg omelette is huge and delicious. Service is great and very accommodating. Plenty of choices. read more

Decided to come in with my grandparents. My grandmother who is in her late 80s didn't want to sit in a particular section of the restaurant due to the noise. A person running the desk of the store explained that it would take longer due to a lack of help. My grandmother asked why and the lady explained that she "felt bad that she didn't understand" meanwhile my grandmother did understand however she just was wondering why, (we didn't know that they were short staffed at the time). I also saw another older lady ask her a question and she flat out said that she was imagining her food being cold. I am in my late teens and considered asking her after if she is rude to everyone or just to older people. Considering the fact that Wynmoor is so near by its quite disappointing. read more

my mother and here went here at about 9pm on a Wednesday after my class was over. A young hostess sat us smack in the middle of the dining room, and there were maybe three other tables in the whole place that had diners at them. 10 MINUTES goes by and every staff member walked right by me without acknowledging my existence (my mother had gotten up to use the restroom". when she returned and realized that no one had been to the table, we decided to leave. as we were walking out, we hear the young girl who sat us go "oh yeah laurie you never went over to that table". as we walked to the car, i saw the staff members just stare out to us in the parking lot. no apology, no attempt to fix the situation, they just stood there. NEVER AGAIN!! read more

I haven't been here in a while but I was so impressed with how they literally stepped up their game during the times of covid. Super clean environment, socially distant from other customers , and the staff was constantly cleaning for the short while we were in there. I felt super safe! Carla gave us amazing service, she was always on top of everything that we needed. Coffee was always topped off as well as the other drinks on the table. Kudos to Lester's in Coconut Creek! The food was great and the service was exceptional. read more

I love biscuits with gravy.. I am having breakfast and I I dont come so often here, but as soon as I seat the waiter knew what I wanted. Aside from my hot chocolate I got water without even asking for it, my dish included the b&g and got them first without asking and I was starving. When I was done with the biscuit my plate already came. I didnt get served this time, I got rekt. read more

They serve breakfast all day!!!! The staff is super nice!! The food came out hot and quick. Great lighting to get work done while you are here. read more

I was charge extra money to have my bagel TOASTED (?), never mind I paid $13.99 for the salmon. Shame on you, never again!

Excellent breakfast! Busy on the weekends. Clean, 50 style dinner. The desert is a must try. Banana cream pie!

Remodel looks good but the prices keep going up. I would say items average around $10. Have been coming here off and on for 18 years. Service is slow or at least it was was on this visit, wasn't very busy either. Under 7 for kids menu is a bit sad. Will probably save this place for when we have a large group but will drive by when I want a good reasonable mom and pop breakfast joint. read more

I've been going to Lesters for 20 years, and while many things there are delicious, there is a little decline in the general atmosphere, and cleanliness. I'm not saying, it's filthy, but, it has a lingering odor that I find off-putting. That's the negative. The positive is that they have a huge selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Most entrees are generous and tasty. They have really good hamburgers and french fries. I know that's not a gourmet assessment, but, sometimes you just want a good burger and fries that isn't McDonalds. When I want comfort food, this is my go to place. It still does a big business, and weekends can be packed. Their prices are getting a little high, but, they have to pay bills, too. The waitresses and waiters are all professional, and very nice. Their deserts are always decadently good. It's the quintessential American diner, with a few great ethnic favorites, from Greek to Jewish. read more

This place is straight up awful. Save your money and your time. I only ordered carrot to go and they messed that up because it was soggy as all mush mush and wet. They even messed up cashing me out at the register. The cashier looked puzzled as if it was her first time using the register. An older gentlemen thought this might be the perfect time to DEEBO at the register since I was of ethnic background. If your hungry, don't do it. Won't go back unless its empty during a zombie apocalypse. However the Lester's in Pompano Beach is banging. read more
