Lesters Deli

Old school, friendly, busy smoked meat deli. Had a'Super Smoked Meat' combo. It was very tasty with a mountain of perfectly smoked meat, tart dill pickle spears & delicious, authentic'dirty fryer' French fries.
It was expensive, $33 + tax & tip.
(There is a little bathroom in the back. Small but clean.)
Street parking only.

Finally I decided to try a smoked meat sandwich at Lesters on Bernard at the terrace to see what the fuss was all about . As a smoked meat comnnaisseur , I was disappointed with the sandwich that was served basically cold . Th cook was too lazy to srve a hot sanndwich at 3 pm . Lesters is over rated and no offense to the people who liked it, they havent tried real smoked meat at Shwartz, and Dunns . To ad insult to injury, I saw the cook when he came out outside to smoke a cigarette, a disgusting display of lack of hygiene. I thought I was in Bengladesh , and I was served a sandwish by a cook with a gross beard that was not coverd by a net .That person manipulatd my sandwich . Gross I mentionned it to the asian waitress, which it wasnt her fault. If you want a smoked meat , make sure you dont find facial hair .. The price wasnt worth it . It took me hours to digest it , and got sick after eating it . Not sur he washes his hands.

beautifully carved, masterfully smoked. personally don't like meat heavy on the black pepper & seasoning, Lesters' was perfect, the flavor of the brisket was unadulterated & unmistakable. asked for my sandwich fat, & they hit the mark, wasnt overdone & didn't make me feel gross & guilty. my go to, my pick for top rank, GO!!! shout outs to the staff as well.

C'est dommage car le service était très bon & la deluxe vient avec une bonne quantité de viande, mais spongieuse avec presque pas de goût. On dirait de la viande artificielle ou manufacturée. Quel gaspillage d'argent.

La poutine au smoke meat est délicieuse, (mais genre vraiment). Le fromage s'étire, la sauce est parfaite, pareillement pour les frites 🤩.
Les employés sont super gentils & dynamiques 🔋🔋🔋.
Il y a un grand choix de boissons, il y a du ketchup, moutarde & vinaigre directement sur la table.
Si je reviens dans ce coin, j'irai sûrement ici.
😋😋😋
