The service was top-notch, the food was amazing and as always the atmosphere was stupendous. We love Lester's Seafood and will be returning soon. Their nightly specials are very well thought out, well-prepared, and delicious. Thank you for this family-oriented addition to our City.

Fantastic food that's seasoned well at a great price. It doesn't get much better than this. Our waitress was very nice and our food came out quickly. I had the grilled chicken which was tender and juicy just like the menu claims. My wide and daughter have various orders of fried and blackened shrimp and fish. All tasted amazing and cooked perfectly. The diner itself isn't flashy, has standard tables and chairs, and is very clean. The focus here is on the food and it shows. Such a great place to eat.

Great service and food. The quantity was more than I could eat. Started with shrimp cocktail and it was ok. Had grilled catfish, green beans and mac and cheese. Huge portion of mac and cheese that I could not eat. Catfish was pretty good. Husband stayed with appetizers: boudin balls and ahi tuna. He ate all of it.

Lester's has a very local feel to it. But it is not an intimidating locals place I felt very welcome. The food is all top notch and the service people were absolutely great and I would recommend this to anyone who likes seafood although their daily specials are things other than seafood.

My 91-year-old father and I dined at Lester’s at 1248 Highway 90, Unit C, Bay St. Louis, MS 39520, and it was phenomenal. The seafood is fresh, authentic, and packed with Gulf Coast flavor—shrimp and crab cakes cooked to perfection. Prices are affordable, with generous portions. The special boards feature creative, ever-changing dishes that keep things exciting. The staff is incredibly friendly, treating us like family. When my father accidentally spilled tea on his plate, they quickly offered to re-cook it without us asking—amazing customer service! As a family-owned business, Lester’s exudes warmth and care. My father loved every moment. Highly recommend visiting Lester’s for delicious food and a heartfelt experience. Support this local gem!
