“ We stopped in for lunch after circling the parking lot for a place to park...this parking is full at lunchtime. Once we were inside there was plenty of seating available at the bar. We were promptly greeted and our drink order taken. We had our drinks in short time. I ordered Lester's pulled-pork sandwich with potato salad and bbq beans. Cyndi ordered their burnt ends with fries and coleslaw. Didn't take long and we had our food. My pulled-pork sandwich was delicious! I tried Cyndi's brisket (burnt ends) and they were very tasty. They prepare their burnt ends with bbq sauce over texas toast. I prefer my bbq without the sauce, then add the bbq sauce as I eat my bbq. Overall, very good. Quick friendly service and tasty bbq for lunch...super nice! ”
“ Great happy hour menu. I will bounce between BBQ sliders, pastrami sliders, chicken quesadilla, pretzels. Hmm, there are several others that I like and have tried. They have something for everyone to choose from. Cocktails and a pretty good draft and bottled beer menu. ”
“ All the food was piping hot and delicious! We had the good fortune to have Travis as our server. He is very personable and super attentive to his guests. We were impressed that Pedro the owner, was there on a Sunday, checking on each table of guests. ”
“ Delicious pastrami on rye. Thin fries are awesome, as well. Nachos and wings were fantastic. Service is amazing. Lots of TV's to watch games. Great central location right off I-64/40 and Clayton Rd. ”
“ Loved our first visit to Lester’s. Our server, JoAnne, was a real gem! The atmosphere is definitely sports and is also very comfortable. Lots of cozy booths and tables for larger groups. It smelled incredible but we were there for pastrami and potato pancakes. They were both outstanding. Lots of beers on tap and menu large enough to make everyone happy. We’ll be back. ”
“ Great local family restaurant with wonderful service and great food. Our favorites are the pulled pork & smoked turkey. They even have a baker that bakes their bread daily. The pricing was very family friendly. ”
“ Hidden GEM!!! This place was great!! Super friendly staff, great atmosphere, really cool sports memorabilia, and the food was EXCELLENT! The portions are HUGE, and the prices were beyond reasonable. Highly recommend! ”
“ I tried the blackened Mahi tacos, and they did not disappoint. I'm usually not a huge fan of mangoes on my tacos, but this actually worked. The chips and guacamole were adequate enough. The service was great, Thank You Christine!!! I was told the burger was a good bar burger (who doesn't love bar food) and the grilled chicken sandwich was also very good. The had a ton of sports memorabilia, and TVs visible from any angle, playing a variety of different events. My only complaint, and it's no fault of the restaurant, is parking sucked. Give Lester's a shot. ”
