Lester's Diners are always offering up good food with plenty of selection no matter what time of the day you go there. It's perfect for if you're just craving a light bite or a full course meal. This Lester's was really not much different than the others. Nice servers, clean restaurant and a menu full of options for even the pickiest eaters. I decided on the spinach and feta omelette and I can say that I really enjoyed this. It was loaded with fresh spinach and feta cheese. I decided to try grits for my side since I usually get the home fries at Lester's and although they were good I'd say they definitely needed a pinch of salt since grits don't have a lot of flavor to begin with. The friend I was with got a waffle sandwich that had eggs, cheese and breakfast meats on it. I tasted it and it was very good. Make sure to check the hours of the Lester's Diner ( locations in Fort Lauderdale, Margate, Pompano and Margate) you're wanting to dine in since they all have different hours of operation. read more

Lester's Diner in Pompano Beach -- what a hidden gem. The menu is huge with tons of options, including Italian and Greek specialties, and everything we tried tasted super fresh and homemade. We ordered the shrimp scampi, chicken piccata, a Reuben, a house salad, and their key lime pie, and all of it was really good. The scampi and the piccata were honestly some of the best we've had, and both the shrimp and the chicken were cooked perfectly. The key lime pie was smooth and refreshing and a great way to finish the meal. Portions were generous and nothing tasted frozen or pre-made like you sometimes expect at diners. Service was friendly and quick, and the place has that classic diner feel but with way more variety on the menu than usual. Definitely one of those spots where everyone can find something they want. Would absolutely go back, especially to try more of the Italian and Greek dishes. read more

So disappointed. Maybe the chef was having a bad day. Dined here with good friends on a Saturday and my turkey sandwich was as dry as the Sahara. Part of the turkey were so dry I had to pick them out so I wouldn't choke on them. No amount of thousand island could revive it. Our friend ordered a cheeseburger and received a patty melt. since we've always had good food here and service until this time, we're hoping this was simply a bad dining day. read more

Rude waitress and employees leave alot to be desired. Most food is soaked in old oil and their lettuce is old. Won't be returning.

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Paying $18 for a hamburger that had absolutely new flavor and the bun Westdale would've been better off going to Culver's and paying eight dollars for a burger. Do not recommend Lesters at all. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Lester's Diner - Corned beef hash - Diners Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Old fashioned diner, great service, friendly staff. Open early, and closes 2-3 pm. Serves breakfast and lunch. Tends to be loud, as diners do. Menu from eggs to sandwiches and salads. Coke products. My date had 2 eggs, grits, toast, and link sausage. His ideal breakfast. I enjoyed eggs over easy, gyro meat, and home fries, rye toast. Tzatziki sauce could have been fresher, but overall, I enjoyed the meal. Was hungry, so I had started to eat when I realized I had forgotten a picture. We would eat here again when in town. read more

I love Lester's but I was quite disappointed today. My man went to get a bunch a food for my birthday. Eggs, sausage, bacon, French toast, pancakes biscuits and gravy, corn beef hash and everything was cold. We are only a 3min drive away from the restaurant. My favorite thing is the corn beef hash it was not great, it was definitely under cooked. I like my hash browns to be extra crispy but they were so overdone I couldn't even eat them. read more

I've been to Lester's a few times and it's always consistently a good experience. This time, we started with the stuffed mushrooms. The stuffing in the mushroom was cheesy and full of flavor. I always order the Greek salad which comes with grape leaves. The vegetables in it are always fresh and the salad is massive. The Greek dressing is made in house and is the best I've ever had! I would recommended adding a side of the tzatziki as well! This place gets busy but they always find a way to get you a table. read more

9/23/24 My wife and I stopped by today, for our first visit. She had a delicious Belgian Waffle and I had Lester's Ranch with 2 eggs, bacon, toast, and grits. All tasted great. Connie was our Server and she provided great service, and was very pleasant. She represents your restaurant in 5 star fashion. We liked the restaurant very much. Lots of space, nice decor, and very comfortable. Plenty of parking available. If you want a good meal, stop in, as their menu is wide and varied. Thanks, Lester's! Well done! You have our utmost respect. Marc & Anita Pompano Beach read more

Couldn't have higher praise for this place. From the atmosphere to the kind servers and to top it off every single part of the meal tasted amazing. I recommend the Greek chicken sandwich.

This was my 2nd visit to this diner. I was immediately greeted at the door and seated. Our waitress, Nicole, was very efficient. She immediately came over to greet us and take our drink order. She gave us enough time to look over the menu, and took our order. She refilled our coffee without us having to ask for her to do so. She was friendly and on point. My chicken gyro was tasty, but had too much tzatziki sauce globbed all in it. I took a bite and it poured outside the gyro and on my shirt. The tzatziki taste was very good, just messy. I recommend having it on the side. The fries were hot and tasty. The turkey melt was good, not great. It was made of just turkey and swiss cheese. It was missing bacon or coleslaw to make it complete. read more

Was going to take a walk on Pompano Beach and saw that the parking lot was full yet, so we pulled in for breakfast. On Atlantic Ave south of 95 and on the way to the beach, they have there own parking lot and it fills up. If you time it right, you can get in without a wait. IMO...best breakfast in town. I dream of the pancakes, they're so light and fluffy. Coffee is always fresh and hot. The 2-2-2 is my go-to. 2 eggs, 2 bacon, sausage or ham (your choice) and 2 pancakes. For $1 more you can sub french toast. Service is always friendly and it's clean. Pay at the register, its so hard to not to pass up a slice of one of the fresh made pies. It gets me every-time...and worth indulging. read more

Reminds me of a NYC diner with friendlier service and much cleaner. Food is classic diner selection. I enjoyed a veggie omelette and side of bacon which was a generous portion of 5 pieces. Good coffee. Good prices. They could turn the A/C down some. We couldn't linger because it was uncomfortably cold. read more

We waited in the front and got called to sit at a table. The floor was dirty by I'm guessing because it was busy they didn't get to it yet. Our service was very nice and easy to talk to. I ordered shrimp and steak and eggs and both of them were nasty. The steak was plain as well as the eggs. I took my steak and eggs to go but really I wanted to throw it away. I personally would not come back. read more
