Lester's is the rare sports bar where the first thing that springs to mind is its food. Specifically, the sandwiches rightly deemed "colossal" on its menu: Favorites such as pastrami, corned beef (both cured in-house), brisket and turkey come piled comically high, so much so that finishing even one half of one "colossal" sandwich is a feat. (Fear not, sandwiches also come in mortal sizes.) Everything here is homemade, and considering Lester's menu encompasses soups, salads, entrees, burgers, barbecue and dessert, that's a feat as well. Dozens upon dozens of large HD TVs ensure that there's really not a bad seat in the house. Though the Ladue address is its flagship, there are also locations in Chesterfield and in the Central West End.
