Don't order eggs with runny yokes, they only know how to make eggs with hard yokes

Lester's Diner Fort Lauderdale Fl.
Just so you all know, because everything was so good here, we ate here 5 times in a week, all were 5-star ratings. We were in a hotel down the street because of hurricane Milton evacuation so we thought we would try this place. Every meal we had there was very good, and the service was great. Thanks to all our servers Carolyn, Shawna, Alicia, Sarah, JT to Jessica all were suburb. I don't give out many 5 stars, but this place deserves it. I wish there was a Lester’s over where we live on the southwest side of the state as we most likely would be in there every day.
Tuesday morning 10-8-24 at 9:50am This place looked good, so we wanted to try it for breakfast. This was our very first time here. They were busy and most of the front was filled. This place was clean and neat and had a 50's vibe to the interior. Our waitress Shawna came over fast, introduced herself and gave us our coffee. We ordered the 2+2+2 which is 2 Eggs, 2 Sausages or Bacon and 2 French Toast or Pancakes. My wife ordered the same thing but with Bacon. Our friend ordered a 1/2 order of Biscuits and Sausage Gravy. Even though they were busy, our order came out fast. My Eggs were done perfectly, and the Sausage tasted good. The French Toast was hot and very good. My wife’s Eggs were done perfectly, and her Bacon was browned just like she wanted. Her French Toast was very tasty. Our friend's Biscuits and Sausage gravy was very good. Everything was hot and tasted great. I can't wait to get back there for dinner so I can make a more involved review.
We went back for dinner around 5pm the same day and got seated immediately. I ordered Chopped Steak with Mashed Potatoes, Coleslaw and Salad. I liked the fact our waitress asked how I wanted my Chopped Steak done.
The wife ordered the Salmon with Baked Potato, Coleslaw and Salad, our friend ordered the foot long Hot Dog with Fries. They served our Salads quickly. Everything tasted fresh, one thing I loved was that our Salads were chilled. Our main order came out shortly after our Salads. They looked great and filled up our plates. My Chopped Steak was done perfectly, Mashed Potatoes were good, and of course the Coleslaw was very delicious. My wife’s Salmon was done and tasted great. She did say her Baked Potato tasted a little old. She loved her Coleslaw as well as her Salad. Our friend's foot long Hot Dog was done perfectly, and he loved the Fries, they did have some extra fried onions on the plate along with his dog. All our food was hot and very tasty.
Wednesday 10-9-24 we stopped for breakfast. We got seated fast and coffee cups were filled at that time. I got the House Special which consisted of 3 Eggs, 1 Smoked Sausage, Home Fries and Rye Bread. My wife ordered the Belgium Waffle with fresh Strawberries. Our ordered came out fast and it was hot and so good. One of the best breakfasts out that I ever had for sure.
We stopped back for dinner same day at 6:30pm. I ordered the Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Filling, Carrots and Peas. I also got a house Salad on the side. My wife ordered the same thing, and our friend ordered the 6 BBQ Wings. When JT brought our food out it was hot, large portions and so tasty. It was the best Turkey platter I ever had at a restaurant. Our friend loved his BBQ wings as they were meaty and very tasty.
Thursday 10-10-24 we stopped for our last meal as we were leaving to go back home next morning. I got the Chopped Steak, Mashed Potatoes, and side Salad again. My wife got the Roast Beef sandwich. Our friend got a side Caesar Salad. Service was fast food was hot and all was very good.
I do recommend this place and believe you all need to try it. Prices are reasonable, the servings are large, a great value for your money. I gave this place 5 stars, for the great tasting food, large portions, and service all above and beyond.

Terrible service today on State Road 84 location. Servers at this location don't act like that. Lady drops the menu along with the coffee & never returns. She goes up to the counter & leans on the end of it just chatting with some customer for several minutes. My menu is clearly at the end of the table. I wave my hand & the customer tells her I need help. she walks over to the table with this face saying "what do I want" How about, What would I like to eat? I happened to be on the phone at the time as I'm sitting by myself. My friend had made a comment "Who is she talking to like that?" She finished my order and started to Walk away. She turns around & loudly says, " we don't take your order while you're on the phone" How about going over to the table before you leaned on the counter for 5 minutes and say to the customer, "let me know when you're ready to order" I went up to the cashier to cancel my order & pay for the coffee. she wouldn't even come out to find out what the issue is. She just yells from the food line, "he can go. He didn't eat." I've never seen any server at this location act like this at all. I've been going to this location for over 10 years. I won't be returning.

Had not been there for years. Wanted meatloaf and since I was in the area, I decided to go. Truly sorry but the meatloaf was the worse I have ever had!!! Do not order it‼️‼️‼️ I didn’t want to return it back so I packed it up and took it home. Well when they tried it at home it went to the trash. Miller Ale House is definitely much better than that….
I did order a second plate the chicken Parmesan that was crispy and good‼️ spaghetti sauce was a little bland, but it was OK.

Our experience here was a disaster; from start to finish. We were seated and our orders were taken in a friendly manner. We received our food which was missing items and we had still yet to receive our waters or the milkshakes we ordered. Our server did not come to check on us a single time after we had ordered. We needed to flag him down multiple times to express that we had a variety of items missing. Our server also proceeded to leave the restaurant prior to asking if we wanted to close out our tab - which we did. When the milkshakes did arrive - after our meals were fully eaten, they were melted, runny, warm and the wrong flavors. When we pointed this out, the server simply stated that that's what they had been told to make. As we finally received our tab after flagging somebody random down, they had added on extra items to our check from someone else's check that we then had to have voided and repay. This was one of the worst - if not the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. If you would like quality food and service, I would suggest probably anywhere else honestly.
The food is always the BEST at this location... Idc what anyone says because I go to the Margate, Pompano, and Sunrise LESTER'S. The Ft. Lauderdale one is THE BEST, then Pompano. Margate has been the closest one to me for a few years, so it's convenient, but the food is different...
