We ordered soup and sandwiches... the prices weren't cheap, but not too pricey either. Both kinds of soup were mediocre and not served particularly hot. The waitress was very friendly, but messed up both of our orders (brought the wrong sides for both dishes, and forgot specific instructions about the dishes themselves). My hot sandwich was cold, and the meat... more

Wife ordered a take out medium rare cheesebuger with lettuce,tomato,mayo and home fries instead of french fries. What I got was a burned- extra well done burger- no mayo, no home fries -dead french fries. and a mediocre pickle. This made McDonalds look like a palace. more

We drove past Lesters earlier this year, and noted that we should try this place. Since Wolfies closed, we have been trying to find a substitute. This place is absolutely fabulous. The food is great. The roast pork, beef stew and salisbury steak are wonderful. The stuffed cabbage not so hot. Portions are huge. The pricing here is cheap. I... more

We really loved this place! The food was delicious-- an old-time Reuben, potato salad that has it right, wonderful french fries, good service, reasonable prices, generous portion sizes, fun atmosphere. I'd go back again if I was in the area, and I wish we had a similar place nearer where I live! more

I've been going to Lesters for almost 30 years now - its reliable diner food, but not really anything more than that. The prices are reasonable, the portions typically generous, but the food quality is what you would expect from a diner. Even though its very large with a lot of tables, you may experience a wait at peak times... more
