Lester D's Reel Diner

We stopped by this lovely place during our Niagara trip. Great atmosphere with interesting decorations. Food was decent for the price, will go again if we are in the area next time

My partner and I decided to bike from St.Catherines Go Station to Niagara Falls. This spot was conveniently located, along the bicycle route, on the main Hartzel road. When we arrived, the parking space was full. We looked around to see if there was a bicycle post, to lock our bikes. Unfortunately, it was not the case. Across the street, is a stip mall and they usually have bike locking post. Luckily, near the front entrance, on the left side of Food Basics, there was. When we stepped inside the diner, we were greeted with movie posters throughout. The film Willow was also playing on the screen nearest to the entrance. We were expecting it to be full, judging by the number of vehicles parked outside, but we had quite a few choices, for our seating. We chose a booth. They name their menu items, with clever references to film titles, with a twist. They allow you to modify items on the menu, to fit your preference. Server was polite, courteous and upbeat. They truly embrace all things films. I felt like I was going through various eras, as I went to the washroom. Nostalgia kicked in full motion and I began to remember where and when, I had watched the films I would see, all around me. Our server informed us they had trivia nights and other activities and programs on offer, pre pandemic. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I look forward to my next visit. Parking: I counted, at most, 12-15 parking spots Dietary restrictions: I'm on a keto diet. They were able to exclude items I did not need and suggest alternatives, that worked for me.

Decent food for an okay price. We got the poutine, pancakes, and omelette. We had takeout and we’d love to come in person sometime.

I can’t express enough how great this place is. Food and movies are my two favourite things and that’s exactly what you get here. My boyfriend and I come as often as we can and the staff are so funny and lovely here. The chicken fingers are the greatest of all time it’s to good. Also the banana French toast!! So good. The movies they play are always good and at a good volume so u can actually watch it while you eat. I’m craving the chicken fingers as I type this…need to go again.

Heard good things about Lester D's, I had a chance to have brunch here for the first time and it was a great experience. Service was very good. The movie theme is fun and they even have a movie playing while you eat. The food was great and very good portions. I would definitely be back to try some of the other menu items.

Over easy eggs were hard, sausage looks like something my dog expelled this morning and homefries were abysmal. I've been here many time and this is by far the worst breakfast and I wish my girlfriend didn't have to pay for this poor food. Zero effort shown to even put a breakfast on a plate.

Can't believe I've never been here. Such a cool spot, with an incredible atmosphere and vibe. The food was DELICIOUS! Big servings, friendly service, and very fair prices. Had the "Rise of the Planet of the Eggs", WOW . Come hungry! Parking: Right at a corner. We got there late for brunch, and it was packed. Street parking available. Dietary restrictions: Options were available on the menu for additional charges.

Food and service are really good. Would hesitate to bring my young children back as there is horror movie memorabilia around that is quite scary for young children. A violent movie was playing on the TV across from our booth where our kids were watching. Would not recommend this place as a "family restaurant" because of atmosphere.Food: 4/5

Took my 7yr old niece and 3yr old nephew and we talked about all the movies on the posters! We had a blast and continued the fun at home since we were inspired to watch the Goonies. Ones of the many movies we added to a long list. Would definitely recommend! We will be going back!Food: 5/5

Fun place to eat a delicious burger. This movie themed diner style restaurant is detailed to a T. The decor inside is fantastic and goes great with movie soundtracks playing in the air. Tell your server that you will need at least 15 minutes to read the entire menu. I do not know who came up with the names of the food but much laughter will ensue as you read the names with your fellow patrons. The service is wonderful with smiles and the perfect amount of attention. This is THE place in Sainte-Catherines for great food at a great price.
