Restaurants near Lester

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Flashbacks in Lester for their famous crabs, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant had a cozy, hole in the wall feeling, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home.

The star of the show, of course, were the crabs. They were fresh, meaty, and perfectly seasoned, making for a truly satisfying meal. The Old Bay seasoning was just right, enhancing the flavor of the sweet crab meat without overpowering it. The crabs were served hot and steaming, adding to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.

In addition to the crabs, we also tried some of their other seafood offerings, including their pasta dishes which were equally delicious. The portions were generous, and everything was cooked to perfection.

Overall, I highly recommend Flashbacks in Lester for anyone looking for a fantastic seafood dining experience. The quality of the crabs and seafood is stellar. I will definitely be returning to Flashbacks in the future for more of their amazing crabs. Flashbacks also offer all you can eat crabs on Thursdays.

“I lived in South Philly for 27 years and spent my teen year summers from 12-19 in North Wildwood. I know a great pizza and cheesesteak from mediocre. Until I went to Femi’s, the best cheesesteaks I ever had were from Russo’s in North Wildwood. The closest I’ve ever come for cheesesteaks is Femi’s in Lester. Their steaks, especially their pizza steaks are fantastic. Every pizza and Stromboli I’ve ever ordered are great too! Can’t find anything better in South Philly.”

“IT WAS AMAZING WTF ELSE DO YOU NEED?”

Get on the list early. We came in at 10p on a Saturday night and didn't get into the bar until 12:15a.
We stayed until closing.
The drinks were delicious and we had a great time”

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.”

“After discovering the restaurant in March, I had to return for my birthday in August. So my husband and I made the 3-hour drive to Philly just so I could eat at Monster Vegan twice in one day. The food was consistently delicious. I could eat the eggrolls and tacos every day. The service was wonderfully inviting. The vibe is great during the day but the evening totally elevates it. I’m also thankful for their mocktail menu is just as creative as the rest of their drink menu and not just a spirit-free mojito. It’s my favorite restaurant and will gladly make the trek to Philly again just to visit Monster Vegan.”

“An easy 5 stars! Every bite of our omakase dinner was delicious. Very fresh fish! Service was attentive and it was spectacular getting to watch the chef work his magic up close. The ambiance was pleasant. I also appreciated that they accommodated my husband and I as pescatarians.

Dietary restrictions: Accommodated pescatarian”

“Food so good I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. Delicious drinks. Definitely coming back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“An old favorite but was disappointed this time...One of things we love about this place is the ever-changing menu and the interesting combination of ingredients and flavors. We started with the endive salad which was outstanding but it went downhill from there. The brioche was too crunchy and oily (but the escargots and tomatoes topping was very good); the enoki mushrooms were a little overpowered by the other flavors; the oyster mushrooms were quite charred; and the fish was overcooked. Drink-wise, also did not think much of the "void essence" cocktail - was a little bland for me. Service as always as excellent.”

“We went for dinner around 5pm today with a group of 7 and everything was fantastic!!! The food was so fresh and flavorful. You can definitely tell they put love into their food and pride themselves on great presentation. BYOB with great mixers and smoothies. The service was very attentive and friendly. Very cozy inviting atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!!”

“I was so excited to dine at Her Place Supper Club. The food, ambiance and service were exactly what I expected. I can only give 4 stars on food, however, because the scallops had grit in them. I thought it was just my dish and didn’t want to complain, but on the way home, my friend told me her scallops had grit too. That’s a shame. Other than that, it was a fantastic dining experience.”

“Not child friendly need more option”

“Fabulous on all levels! What a treat!”

“Our waiter Fathi went above and beyond, the food was delicious, the service exemplary, and the vibe great. Good romantic spot, or family friendly. Fresh bread and desert. The after dinner tea is such a sweet end to the night!”

“Excellent food and impeccable service.”

“Dietary restrictions: Chef Mark was incredibly accommodating to my life-threatening food allergies. He made great meal recommendations and watched for no cross contamination along the way. Wonderful meal and atmosphere! Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area.”

“As per always, our eating experience was outstanding in every way. We enjoy bringing friends here, as each and every one of them also enjoys the meal and the service (shout out to Carlos?). Every dish is delicious, there are no wrong picks.”

“My favorite place for breakfast AND lunch! Taco Heart has consistently delicious breakfast tacos and the best queso in town. This summer on my bestie’s wedding day we called them about 30 minutes before close and ordered A LOT of chorizo tacos for the bride and they happily obliged and added special treats - a kindness and a memory i carry with me!
So happy to have found this little gem ?”

“Great atmosphere, friendly service and tasty food.”
