My reviews from previous years are below. I update my ratings based on my most recent visits. My dining partner enjoys the Avocado Salad with tuna salad which comes with a scoop of potato salad, lettuce, tomato and onions. I've been exploring vegetarian options lately and enjoy rice and steamed broccoli. The service in the morning and afternoon is good and the servers get to know your preferences when you come often. We haven't dibes in the evening so I cannot speak directly to that other than to say I would expect service at that time to also be good - - - - - - - - - - The tuna salad has breadcrumbs or a flour-based extender in it. This is a such a departure from my expectations for tuna salad that I cannot fathom how someone thought this an acceptable way to make a tuna salad sandwich or tuna salad platter. Traditional tuna salad is a gluten-free option. This is not a gluten-free option and nowhere on the menu does it warn diners of the addition. Frankly, it tastes like mush. What a disappointment. On a more positive note, the service is still very friendly, responsive and quick. An icon in Fort Lauderdale, this Lester's location is an outpost in the tradition of the original restaurant. Traditional diner fare mixed in with some Greek dishes. Unforgettable: the bakery items at the counter. Pies, cookies and creme-filled delights.

My recent visit to Lester's Diner in Pompano Beach, unfortunately, didn't live up to the nostalgic expectations of a classic American diner. I opted for the traditional turkey dinner, which was just okay. The turkey was tender but the gravy lacked much flavor. The mashed potatoes had an off sour taste, which was quite disappointing. The steamed broccoli was bland and flavorless, failing to add any real enjoyment to the meal. My partner had the baked moussaka, which consists of potato, eggplant, signature ground beef, and tomato sauce, topped with béchamel and served with rice. Unfortunately, he didn't love it. He found it to be kinda dry and lacking in flavor. The beets served on the side were fine but nothing special. The service was okay but kinda slow considering what we ordered. Overall, our experience at Lester's Diner fell short of our expectations. The service was friendly and the portions were generous, but the flavors and quality of the food left much to be desired. Despite this, we will definitely be back to try it again.

This is my first time at the Lester's Diner on Atlantic Boulevard just west of Federal Highway it is absolutely one of the best places to have breakfast and lunch that I've been counted while living in Florida 15 years they are consistently outstanding with that food and the presentation I recommended highly the happy customer! Go Lester's...! Great Diner high Quality food 5* my Rating & great clean establishment plus Awesome Service & friendly environment! Delicious food fast service everyone is knowledgeable and very friendly great waiters and waitresses it's my go-to place for breakfast and brunch I recommend it highly mostly all locations but I go to the one on Atlantic off of Federal Highway and the one I like the most my most favorite is on Coconut Creek Parkway in Margate I recommend it to everyone! Still excellent food fair prices great service clean establishment I just came from the one next to Federal Highway in Atlantic Boulevard extraordinarily good for a diner fabulous is the word I should use

This is a great diner. Friendly staff, delicious food, excellent service. I have been coming to this place for a while and always the food is fresh and good. For Friday night dinner is my favorite place to go. It is a must place to eat in Pompano Beach. Parking is a little tight on Sundays but there is always someone leaving hehehe. Please try the Matzo ball soup, it's very tasty. Well, today sep 15 2020 I was thinking about where to have lunch and thought about Lester's Diner; this place never disappoints. The food was great and Demetrius is a great waiter, very polite and always checking on my table to see what I need. The chicken BLT on a croissant with fries and apple sauce was delicious and filling. Rosa always makes you feel at home in this place.

The restaurant and food are nice. But the sauce they used on the lamb shoulder overpowered the taste of the meat. There is no meat taste. The sauce is too dominant. I don't think there is any need for the sauce. The same goes for the rice, the spices used are too heavy.
