    Desserts
    Judy S.

    I liked this shining diner. The food was good and I specially loved the desserts. They have a counter with them displayed and they all looked yummy. The Baklava and apple pie caught my eye. I ended up getting them to go. The apple pie was delish. It had a perfect buttery, flaky crust and it tasted great. The Baklava was very good and a good size. I ordered break. I was happy to find that they serve breakfast all day. They also have other menus. Breakfast was great. I was happy. The corned beef hash was good. I would order it again. The service was great. The staff was friendly. The food service was fast. It was a good experience for me.

    The greco had soft fluffy eggs, nice contrast of flavor from the sauteed veggies, crispy potatoes, and savory browned pieces of gyro!

    Given my family's past experiences with the Lester's in Margate, the chain has become a less than desired destination for us in recent years. However, given there wasn't too much around the area for brunch today; my sister and I decided to try our luck at the one I pompano! Going in, the place was jumping, but we were seated right away. Today, we ordered 1x Leo (scrambled eggs with chopped lox and home fries) and 1x Greco (eggs with potatoes, peppers, tomato, feta, gyro, and taztiki). Moving on with my review, it's been sometime since I've been to a Diner and especially one that was this good! The Leo had soft fluffy eggs and plenty of chunks of cooked lox; the home fries were also nicely crisped as well! The greco had soft fluffy eggs, nice contrast of flavor from the sauteed veggies, crispy potatoes and savory browned pieces of gyro! Only small critique is that the bagel that came with my sis meal was kinda doughy, but shouldn't have crazy expectations when Lester's is more well known for its breakfast and lunch/dinner options. Overall, both the service and food was very good. I'm glad I found this location as we'd certainly come back here again and for that reason; my final verdict is a 4/5!

    hair ball
    Élan D.

    Hairball in waffle. Have been basically a daily customer for 10 years despite consistent issues -- only because it's a childhood tradition with my son. Have tried many times to kindly explain the issues with the food, which are simple: the waffles are often burnt. And now, a literal ball of hair in the food. When they've tried to compensate with a free meal, I've almost always asked that, instead, I'd just really appreciate if they could try to fix the issue as it happens at least 1-2x per week. They are generally kind but nothing changes. Things came to a head this week -- and I feel they have serious problems in their kitchen -- look at the photo below. It's like the waffle fell and got smushed on the floor or something and picked up a hairball. Worse yet, when I called, assistant manager said that it couldn't be them because ***they have had so many issues in the past specifically with waffles, that they have a better process in place now.*** So, she said they have had so many issues, there is no way there is an issue now, which is insane logic. Even though I made it absolutely clear that I did not want ANY kind of refund, and was letting them know because it was so disgusting, the assistant manager implied that either I was at fault for the issue. The general manager called. I called her back, and she never got back to me. I short, Pompano Beach should just be aware of how this place treats long-term customers. During the slow season, all of us regulars keep the local businesses afloat. Lester's only acts this way because of the influx of people in the area right now. For us locals, there are a lot of other great options in the area -- Yellow Yolk, Hen & Hog, Athena, and Nelson's are all other well-reviewed diners.

    Was in Ft Lauderdale for the Air show and decided to come here for breakfast. Restaurant was busy on a Sunday, but we were seated quickly. Had been here several times for both breakfast and lunch/dinner. Ordered the french toast combo with scrambled eggs, bacon & sausage. Food came out in short order and was delicious. Coffee is hot and was very good. Service is quick and efficient Place is clean. Plenty of parking in their lot. They have a large typical NY diner menu. The bakery case up front looks amazing.

    Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict
    Lisa H.

    Lesters has been around for as long as I can remember. The food is good and consistent. They have several locations and the State Rd 84 location is open 24 hours. The downside at this location: parking could be a little tough and they are not open past 4pm every day. I have had many meals here and the other locations and never disappointed. Breakfast has been my favorite and this morning they hit it out of the park with the corned beed hash Benedict. Sooo good...I had to write a review! Prices are in line with other local breakfast spots and it is a treat when you don't need to wait for a table which never happens during the season. They have a nice enclosed patio area which we really enjoy. I know I will be returning for another Benedict in the near future.

    Corned beef hash
    jacqueline q.

    Love diners cause you usually get amazing food. Well not here. Always order corn beef hash if i see on menu. Decided to order first time here. Last time i will ever. This looks like dog food all potatoes out of a can. Uninspiring tastes just like a can would. And the grits? Bro. Tastes like water. Lol plus maybe i could of at least had toast. But they didn't add it. Came without. Why ask what type of bread i want for me to answer and you not put it? So. 3 strikes right off the bat. And this was their introduction?? $17!!!!!!! For can of beef hash water grits and no bread? Not finishing the hash and why bother with water grits? Now I'm hungry and out of money. Lol wth

    Gyro meat, over easy eggs, home fries tzatziki sauce, rye toast.

She smiled and welcomed me, she offered coffee, juice- I chose coffee and reviewed the menu. My first time here and I was excited by the menu with all the amazing breakfast options! Crystal came quickly with a small pot of coffee and I was in heaven! The coffee is fresh and delicious! I happily poured my refills. Yay! A brilliant and efficient way to serve coffee! I decided on the Florentine Benedict with the crispy potatoes. Crystal was delightful, attentive and efficient! Great service! My breakfast came and it was a large portion! I'm not a potato person but I wanted to try them. They were hot, crispy and really delicious! My Poached eggs were so yummy and the sautéed spinach was flavorful. I ate it all! Truly the menu has something for everyone and even has a kids section! Very family friendly! I look forward to making my way through their menu! The omelette's and the breakfast burrito looked amazing as they were served to the table next to me. They said they were huge and delicious! I highly recommend! I can't wait to return!

    I was happy to see our community grow, and this place has definitely been busy, which is great…read more I've been coming here since the day they opened, but unfortunately, today will likely be my last visit. They tell you to wait to be seated, yet there is no one assigned to seat guests. The waiters can clearly see there is a line, but no one takes the initiative to step up and seat anyone. Management seems very unorganized. They should assign one person specifically to seat guests, and when there is no wait, that person could float and assist elsewhere. After waiting, I finally asked a waiter if I could seat myself. I sat down and waited almost 10 minutes, and no one even came to offer water. At that point, I decided to get up and take my business elsewhere. The service today was horrible, and it seems that as they get busier, the service gets even worse. I do not recommend this place at all.

    I gotta say, I like this place better before the renovations…read more I don't like the new single pool. I feel like the pool area felt larger with the 2 separate pools and hot tub, and felt like there was more seating. Now, people have to get up at 7am and reserve pool chairs or you won't get one for the day. I do like that they had a fun dj playing music on Saturday and Sunday for a few hours. The pool staff were all very nice and helpful. There are 3 bars I believe. One inside, one by the pool, and one on the beach. They also have jet ski rentals and beach chairs/umbrellas. They give you a complimentary drink ticket per person when checking in which is what they did prior also which is nice but the options are limited. Was a little annoyed because I paid extra for an ocean view room but my room was located on the side of the hotel facing the other tower. Yes, you could see the ocean if you walked up to the window and looked sideways but it wasn't a full front ocean view which is what I was expecting. They should have advertised it as partial ocean view. Just a heads up they also do resort pass here so you'll have extra people at the pool/beach taking up space that are not staying at the hotel, which makes it even more crowded. The only way you can reserve a definite spot is by buying a cabana via ResortPass. Idk, the hotel just didn't feel very upgraded compared to prior, and felt super crowded. Didn't enjoy my experience as much as I have prior. Also, they used to pass out popsicles at the pool and they don't do that anymore :/
