Had lunch at the one on Atlantic in Pompano. The service was great and the food was even better. I had the cheeseburger and even though it was cooked a little more than I asked it was juicy and flavorful. My friend had one of the specials, chicken stir fry and after I tasted it I almost sent my burger back it was that good. The vegetables were fresh and cooked to perfection, not overdone and not undercooked. And the flavor was great! We work down the street from Lesters and plan on making it back at least once a month, other co-workers go there often also. Their prices are a little higher than other diners in the area but the food is definitely worth it. I had a salad from there a couple weeks ago and it was huge, I was able to get two large meals out of it. They have a very large selection on their menu plus daily specials. I'm looking forward to our next lunch there.
Very pleasant spotless interior with polished concrete floors and a screened-in outdoor patio waiting for landscape foliage to bloom and fill-in. Food and service is worth a visit! I'll come back.

So great to have Lester's in Pompano. Perhaps the first 2 reviewers had unrealistic expectations of any restaurant in its first days after opening. I purposely didn't visit last Thursday when Lester's opened, assuming it would be chaotic. How could it not be? New servers. New kitchen staff. Hundreds of customers. I did visit on Friday and expected walking in that it would take longer than normal and that things might go wrong. Did my food take a bit to get to me? Of course it did. But it arrived hot, exactly as I ordered it, and was delivered by an attentive server. I have visited a few times since and all I can say is that, in a week's time, things are running a lot more smoothly. The kitchen staff is getting itself together. The servers are getting the hang of the Lester's routine. The owners are friendly, open, and attentive. They want customer feedback and literally seek it out, directly asking customers about quality of service and food, and making adjustments as each day goes by. They are also quite accommodating - I have dietary restrictions and they have bent over backwards to meet my needs.
I've lived in Pompano for 3 years now and prefer to dine at local eateries as opposed to chain restaurants for obvious reasons. Up to this point, I've found only 2 restaurants that I am willing to frequent and am quite pleased to add Lester's to my list for fresh, affordable, home-cooked fare. Give them a chance. You won't be disappointed. I already feel like I'm part of the Lester's family.
SUGGESTED DISHES:
Cream of chicken and rice soup - outrageously good!
Brisket - either the dinner or the open face sandwich
Chicken croquettes
BBQ chicken
Chicken salad
Rice pudding - fantastic - just the right amount of sweet!
Look like an magazine and food is amazing just like the other 3 Lester's. I am so glad to have Lester's diner at pompano beach. I already have been there many time and I have had only great experience . Flood is always consistent just like the other 3 locations and the diner looks like it came out of a magazine page . Impeccable . Love it

Lester’s Diner recently expanded their South Florida diner empire and opened a new location in Pompano Beach. They took over the old Cosmo’s Diner and gave property a total overhaul. The construction paid off as the space looks amazing and we found the service to be fast & friendly and we enjoyed the food as well. This location for Lester’s Diner is too new to be considered a greasy spoon diner. Not so for their other locations that need some freshening up. This new space in Pompano Beach is bright and shiny with a slightly more modern look. Red and white with some chrome is the look here and while it does look modern, it has a retro feel. There are some booth around the perimeter of the restaurant, but seating is mostly tables. While you will find counter seating here, it’s limited and looked full on our visit. There is also an outside screened-in patio that looked quite comfortable and we can imagine it fills up fast in the cooler months. This location is open 24/7 and you can of course get breakfast anytime. It was 8AM and our server dropped off the breakfast menus for us which is identical to the breakfast menu at he Lester’s Diner menu in Margate. You can read our review of the Margate location HERE . The place was very busy and our server was quick to greet us. She was very warm and friendly and got our drinks fast and took our orders. Our food flew out of the kitchen, maybe 10 minutes? Lester’s Ranch Style Breakfast ($5.69) – 2 eggs with 3 sausage links, potatoes, toast or biscuits & jelly. I ordered my eggs scrambled and they were fresh and cooked perfectly (not overcooked). The potatoes were diced home fries with onions and were seasoned well. The sausage looked a bit overcooked at first, but were actually really good. These were not the ‘brown and serve’ links either. These were the same ones my Mom used to make growing up and I love them almost as much as bacon. The biscuit was freshly made and on the large side. It would go perfectly wi
Nice dinner with typical dinner fare, multiple breakfast options, burgers, sandwiches, and homestyle dinner plates.
Service was very speedy even though they were pretty busy.
I had open faced today roast beef with mashed potatoes and veggies of the day. Generous portion of beef and the total was 17.00 with drink.
They also have a display case filled with great looking pie and cake. I need to save room for one next time!
Will go again.
This would be my 2nd time coming here. The food was just as good the 1st time, and the service was pretty good as well. Come hungry because the portions can be MASSIVE, but if you can't handle it, just bring it home like me and a few others did. Would love to come again!
Great diner atmosphere. Anna our waitress was great and recommended the corned beef hash which was very good. Also ordered an omelet and the home fries which I really liked. I highly recommend.
We are happy to see this Lester’s is open again in the evening. We have always had our best Lester’s experience at this location. Our server was Nicki and she was outstanding. She has a great personality and truly stayed on top of our order. She admitted she has only been with Lester’s for a few weeks, but she is an absolute asset. We ordered an eggs Benedict and a chicken salad club. I also had a cup of matzo ball soup. Everything came out hot and fresh and was prepared perfectly.
Best food every eaten in a US diner. Super delicious. This diner is super clean and the team is very friendly.
Super cute place. Great food. Friendly and great service.
Would recommend
Nice casual diner that serves good breakfast! I enjoyed the 2-2-2 meal which was plenty for me. I recommend this with the sausage links! My husband got these and I loved them! The cappuccino was really good as well!
Fast, delicious, amazing staff. Fresh and tasty food. I haven’t had any of the amazing cake slices but the food was amazing.

Came in for a late breakfast / early lunch upon arrival in Fort Lauderdale. I thought the all-day breakfast menu would be bigger, but it was big enough to include all the major staples. The service was fast, our waitress was friendly and attentive - she did a great job. Elaine kept my coffee full and she is the reason I decided to go with 5 stars. Overall, the experience was better than 4 stars, but it wasn't a perfect five either. But the eggs were good, the 3 breakfast meats were very good, home fries tasted fresh and looked like actual potatoes and onions, and the pancakes were perfect. Very good breakfast food, hot coffee, and good service motivated me to round up to a five star.
My wife got the grape leaves appetizer which was fine, but that's not something I would typically order for myself. She also got the Cobb Salad, which was huge and came in a crispy bowl. All said and done our bill was $52, but the food was good and the portions were big.
As we were leaving, we noticed the bakery case with really impressive looking cakes. It would probably be wise on your next visit to save room for a slice.
Thanks for serving us today Elaine.
Very nice place to enjoy a delicious breakfast with simple but fantastic plates and excellent service.
YOU MUST TRY IT.
