    Maybe just not a good day? It was Saturday, we got there before they were really busy but it took them a while to seat us, for our server to take our order and for us go get our checks. The food didn't take too long to come out but it wasn't that great. I don't have high expectations for bar chicken wings, they weren't very hot (temperature) and they were cooked okay. The pretzel with cheese was the best thing we ate. The fries were okay. Our waitress was sweet, but it left much to be desired...

    Cool spot with decent selection of beer, the ambiance is super neat, very SPORTS! So if you're looking for a good sports viewing spot check it out. Menu is good!

    BBQ SALAD with Smoked Turkey
    Amanda D.

    We love Lester's for good food with a family friendly environment. From the wings, to the pastrami sandwiches, to the smoked turkey, down to the kids mini burgers and mac & cheese... it's all good quality and packed with flavor! The hostess also brought us coloring and activity books with crayons when we sat down to keep our kiddos entertained. There are TVs everywhere so you can watch all the sports you want, and the manager will change stations too to accommodate patron requests (aka my Nana's baseball game requests). They have a decent selection of beers (bottled and draft) and sodas for the kids. This time I got the BBQ salad with smoked turkey and took half home; it was huge!

    Lester's is one of our go-to work lunch spots. The salads are especially good; I always order mine chopped with an addition of chicken, shrimp or salmon. The staff is friendly, and it's always an enjoyable experience.

    Thick serving of corned beef
    John K.

    I ordered the corned beef sandwich with french fries and a pickle spear. I received a thick stack of corned beef which was nice. The corned beef had more fat in it than I like. The french fries were not cooked enough. I could tell by the color then confirmed when I bit into them. The french fries did not have the crunchy texture although they were seasoned well. I received great service at the bar. The restaurant has a fun vibe to it. They have a very large parking lot in front of the restaurant.

    Patty Melt

    First time visit there for work with some coworkers. They were seated quick, we were there at 3:30pm so that probably didn't hurt. Service was great, didn't have to wait for anything out of the ordinary. Staff was really friendly. Most of us got the patty melt they had on special...it was amazing!!! I'm not a huge fan of the skinnier fries, but they were really good. Tried it with their BBQ sauce and it was perfect. The sauce is really good. Someone else did get the pastrami sandwich...wow, that thing had a ton of meat on it, pretty sure I'll go that was next time. My burger was cooked perfectly and the bread was amazing. We looked at the bill after, and yeah, super affordable. Going to bring the wife back over to this one. Really open, sports bar kind of feel to the place. I thought the building was cool, and there was definitely way more room than a "sports bar". Thanks for the good meal, I'll be happy to go back!

    We were able to get seated in a booth. The booth wasn't the most comfortable seating. There were a lot of TVs as it was a sports bar. We ordered a Ruben, a wrap, and cheeseburger. The Ruben was okay as there was quite a lot of fat. The french fries were salty and came out cold. The sweet potato fries were a bit better. The cheeseburger wasn't the best as it came out cold and the waitress didn't give us the correct slice of cheese. She gave us a slice of cheese on a plate instead of melting it on the burger. It was an okay experience.

    We had a pretty good experience at Lester's on sunday! Had a group of 8 come in after another event and we were quickly seated around 5:30pm. Our waitress was very friendly and got our drink orders right away. I ordered the nachos which had a ton of smokey brisket well balanced with the nacho cheese and sweet pit beans. I loved it and devoured it. It was a family friendly atmosphere that had a number of tv's so was easy to watch the closing game of the olympics. The bathrooms could've been cleaner but the service and food, my entire party enjoyed. Everything came out super quick and as ordered.

    10oz Hot Pastrami Sandwich
    Joshua D.

    There are days when a sports bar can solve the world's problems. Lester's outside if St. Louis is definitely a great spot to try. Was recommended Lester's is now for hot pastrami and well as corned beef. Lester's menu has all that you expect from the traditional sports bars, but what separates Lester's from the others is its BBQ menu. Ribs, brisket as well as smoked turkey bring a positive experience when visiting Lester's. We visited late afternoon to watch part of the Cardinals doubleheader, and had plenty of seating. Lester's does have capacity for large groups and recommend calling ahead to reserve for your party. We ordered the hot pastrami, French dip and wings with fries. We also tried the Guinness three meat stew, and everything was served hot and delicious. Our server was very attentive and kept our drinks filled. Lester's is a great place to relax and enjoy some sports while eating a great meal. Give them a try!

    Great smoked meats, but other items, too. It's not just a BBQ place and not just a deli. But, it has aspects of both.

We tried a mix of things--tater tots, wings (both sauced and dry), pizza, and chicken tenders. Everything was decent, but nothing really stood out. The wings had good flavor but weren't anything special, and the pizza was pretty standard bar-style. Portions were solid, though, and it's definitely the kind of place where you can find something everyone will eat. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for a casual, no-pressure place to hang out, watch a game, and grab some familiar bar food--but I wouldn't go out of my way for the food itself.
