    Reasonably priced and well prepared meats, but starters overpriced ($11 for 3 1/2 jalapeño) and the masses of fries were disappointing.. frozen? A choice of Potato salad or mashed instead of having to order as sides maybe

    We loved Lester & Earl. The setting is in keeping with its theme. The food was amazing. I would have loved to give 5 stars all around but found that the digital menu / ordering had its positives and negatives.... difficult to decide what you want when you can’t see the menu in its entirety to compare/ contrast (you have to open each item to know what you’re getting in it/ with it). That’s a tiny negative. Rest is AWESOME. We will all be back!

    Very large tasty servings, craft beers were great and novel way to order your meals electronically.

    Even though we had booked an inside table we were told they were busy and none were free. We had to sit outside on high stools at a small table. They had run out of sirloin steak at 6.15pm so had to have rump which was cooked OK. Ordering was through a small iPad so we never really had a chat to our waitperson, who only delivered the food, about specials etc. Bit disappointed, so we didn’t stay for more drinks as it was raining and breezy outside

    The food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t awesome either. I had heard so many good things, that both of us were quite disappointed. The pulled pork was dry, the sweet chicken didn’t go with the plate. I’ve just had so much better, it was a bit blah. Their service was very friendly but a bit disorganised. The place is cute and fun. Beer was great. Wouldn’t go again.
