Great music, great vibe. Clean, fast and professional staff. The menu is well balanced and very fun. Great view over the botany shopping area. Halal meat is a bonus.

Came here to catch up with a friend over dinner and was already captivated by the interior design and also the cleanliness of the restaurant (including the bathrooms). We ordered entrees, mains and desserts and I’m very pleased to say that my friend and I found the meals very filling and worth their price. My friend ordered a Cosmo and I ordered a Espresso Martini (and later ordered a Corona) for drinks, and we were very satisfied. A unique feature about the restaurant that I absolutely LOVE is how they have a set of buttons at each table to signal a waiter/waitress for ordering, service etc. Honestly made service a lot more smoother and enjoyable too. Some downsides which did make me choose to give only 4 stars was how our desserts were given in the middle of us finishing our entrees. Someone did apologise on behalf, which was appreciated 🙌🏾 However it was a little disappointing to have the desserts so early on and to not be able to appreciate them fresh from the kitchen. I was also a little disappointed with my entree dish which was the Prawn Star as on the menu, it said King Prawns would be served however, the size of the prawns were anything but. Nonethless, the flavors were there for the meals and that, in the end was highly appreciated. Will definitely recommend and come back again to try more meals and drinks!

M. C.

Awesome vibe, great customer service from waitress tonight. She was very helpful and informative. Hope you read this as you made our dinner get-together of 4 all the more better with your welcoming friendly approach. Drinks/Food service was quick, food itself was 10/10 😋 for Mains I had the Steak Kiwi with Dessert Kiwi Pavlova 🤤

J. C.

We went in as a group of 10 of us. Their service was very attentive. We got our drinks really quick, a little light on taste and alcohol for some of their cocktails but nice on a few of them. Food on the other hand was all awesome. Will definitely go back for the food and perhaps any drinks from a bottle or draft.

Z. Z.

Nice place with good service. Not impressed by the burger from kid's menu, hard as rock.

M. M.

Came here with my partner on a Sunday Afternoon so it wasn't too busy at all and the staff and service was amazing and so polite and friendly. Great selection of food on the menu and the dessert menu is better than ever. Highly recommend coming here. 10/10

A.

The restaurant is cute to say the least. But you can tell the person that created this idea has never been to Texas a day in their life. What is the point of making everything so "fancy" when you want to try and emulate a Texas feel? I was born and raised in Texas and wanted to experience a bit of home, instead I was just disappointed..

S. W.

Always good... Always noisy... Always busy... Thats the atmosphere, well worth it... Great food and helpful staff... Awesome desserts...

a.

The meal took approximately 30 mins but it was definitely worth waiting for. Hot, delicious a d very generous amount of chicken, salad and wedges. Will definitely go back again.

Lovely dining, celebrating my wife’s birthday. Excellent Food, cake and happy birthday song were perfect. Not given names, one waitress started to speak our language making us enjoy our dinner. Thank you Lone Star Botany 😊

L. P.

Friendly accommodating staff who effortlessly smashed our orders with precision. Our waiter was so patient and welcoming. Restaurant/toilets were clean. Restaurant is inside the mall so plenty parking outside. Would visit here again.

T. J.

Food was fast 100+++ out of 10!! Felt very welcoming such a nice atmosphere!! Staff made us feel welcome!!! Especially jsha and jay!!! Very good workers!! We defs be back 🤍 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

N. V.

We the Valamaka Family and crew would like to say Thank you very much to all the staff that helped us celebrate our Mum/Nanna 70th birthday from the beginning of the day to the very end You have held your standards high , the food came out promptly and looked Amazing and tasted Yummy.

So high Five to all staffs of Botany Lone star❤️right down the Chefs ❤️ Special shout out to Lone star management Isha and Jay for all your efforts for making the day extra special with limited time. P.S Sorry viewers didn’t have time to take photos but when I do from other family members I will gladly post them up.😜😜

P. W.

Dinner here wasn't your normal high standard of service I've come to expect from Loan Star, the staff appeared out of their depth and would benefit from more training. Like always though the food and drink were delicious and very well portioned.

A. M.

Was a nice dinner. I like the service buttons so that you don't need to catch the server's attention. Food was up to its normal great standards, and lots of it

D.

It was a good dinner, but not up to the normal Lone Star standard. My Rib Eye had lots of fat in it and the restaurant atmosphere wasn't as good as other Lone Star restaurants.

P. P.

Not many potatoes under ribs, coleslaw was okay, kids meals were massive and very affordable. Service was amazing. Music good.

S.

Went here for my cuz Des 21st, good food & desserts, portion size are huge, you will definitely be asking for a doggy bag. & you will leave feeling stuffed.. ☺️😋 (Thank's Tina & team)

T.

So yummy. You sure do get your moneys worth here. The meals thats were coming out of this kitchen looked beautiful 😍

B.

The restaurant is located across the way from the movie theatre. It is on the first floor of that building. It is quite large and quite nicely decorated. They have a dining area around the back but they also have another area overlooking the town center and another "outside" area located in the mall area. We were in this outside area where we could people watch and hear the sounds coming from the timeout. The menu was fairly large and had similar items to the other branches. What I did notice was they had had a call button on the table to get the attention of a server when required. We didn't really need to use it since they were around when we needed them most of the time. We grabbed a few things to share, 2 mains and 3 starters between 4 of us. They were all quite nice and tasty. The ribs were really good and the chips that came with them were also really good. The "pizza" was also nice as was the nachos. We still had to get takeaway for that. With good service and nice food, this place is a good option for lunch or dinner particularly if you are starving.

M. K.

ORDERED: 1x Paris Texas - Food cooked great and wedges were spot on. However as per the pic, the size looked like a kids meal. The plate dominates the steak and in comparison to the Pork ordered shows how small the portion was. Didnt look 300g 1x Lasoo of Hog - Well cooked meal and wedges so delicious. 1x Steiny Pure 1x Cider Great environment. Lovely staff though the table order/service didnt work we managed by the old school method of waving down staff. Was just annoyed the main meal was so small.

S.

Well done to the kitchen and wait staff. 14 great meals delivered all together and 14 happy well fed customers.

L. S.

Very nice expiernce. Very good food. Very good service. Thanks for a great night out

R. L.

Chicken nibbles and wholesome fresh vegetables, beautifully presented. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My dessert was certainly the best... but I do have a sweet tooth! All round, great atmosphere and fabulous family restaurant.

L. T.

We felt like dessert and this was the perfect place. Nico our waiter was so welcoming, other than the delicious desserts we would go back because of the excellent service.

A. G.

Lovely food. Big portions and made me feel super special for my birthday dinner. Birthday pav had to be packed as we were sooo full. A bit squished but it tasted so good

S. M.

Always the best customer service. Excellent quality food, affordable and decent portions of food served. Great atmosphere.. overall one of the best restaurants in auckland.

Q.

The kumara chips were delicious. But all our meat patties were over cooked & dry. Difficult to eat. And at nearly $20 each, just wasn't worth it.

F.

We celebrated my partner's 50th at Lonestar Botany on New years eve🍾 🥳🎂 It was the most amazing evening. Thank you Isha for making his evening so amazing. The food and the service were absolutely awesome.

m.

Awesome staff and service at Botany. The duty manager Isha is number 1 and always gets us in! 🤗 Brenna who served us was just a delight.

E. S.

The food and staff were fabulous Under Covid rules service gets really pressured they stepped and did their best Very impressed.

N. J.

Stopped off for a couple of drinks on a very cold evening, it was so lovely and warm, cosy and great atmosphere. Waitress friendly and helpful. One of the drinks we had ordered was a coffee martini - my new favourite! Definitely reccommend this establishment.

T.

Wonderful atmosphere for our new years eve dinner Table for 6...the customer service was excellent the food was great kids were happy and Isha was awesome with her service very professional and kind manners always checking in every 10 mins thanks Lone Star Botany 💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

R. N.

O.

Service was pretty good, food was pretty good prices pretty good. Overall, pretty good

S.

Was so delicious! I got the cajan chicken and it was cooked perfectly. All the staff were lovely, great service.

D. d. R.

Excellent steak ranch. Interesting food range. Lovely atmosphere.

M.

Book if it is a weekend unless you don't mind waiting 20-30min. The staff is nice, organised and food was good. My steak was rushed on the grill probably as it is well done semi burnt

N.

Long wait time on food. Ordered cauliflower bites, it tasted like it was fried in same oil as fish

J. L.

Convenient location on upper ground off Botany town centre. Close to hoyts cinema. Was there for dinner Tuesday evening. Not very busy. The place could use a sound absorber wall. Food was pretty good. Generous portion. Food quality : 3 out of 5 Service : 4 out of 5 Price : $$ -$$$

L. H.

Excellent! Food was top notch but the service was even better.. owner/manager ? was lobely, very personal service and greatly appreciated

E. W.

The staff were very friendly and service is good. However, the food is only average taste.

S.

Thankyou Isha for your assistance & follow up to resolve the issue that we were having with one of your promotions. Much appreciated & we will be back.

H. A.

Food was delicious and the portions are pretty big! I got a chicken meal and the chicken was cooked to absolute perfection!!! The waiters and waitresses were so awesome! Very attentive, friendly and accommodating! Only downside for me was that the lighting where I was dinning was a bit too dark but either than that, everything else was excellent! Thank you front of house and back of house team! Keep up the great work, was really worth the visit!

s.

Great food, friendly staffs. Highly recommended!

V. W.

Convenient location in Botany town centre, very tasty food.Ribs and lamb are highly recommended.Kids meal comes with free drink and ice cream.

S.

Had all the usual Lone Star menu etc Extremely slow service Wouldn't rush back

L.

Delicious meals, great service and a pavlova that knocked your socks off!

S.

The service was excellent, we had quite a large group and they were able to get the food out to us quite fast and efficient. The waiters were friendly and helped ensure we received everything we wanted. Only didn't give them a 5 star as the food was just average for me. The burger patty taste like a bought pattie and was dry. Flavour wasn't that great. Chips and aioli were perfect, they tasted really good. Also had a cob loaf, which was bit too hard for my liking but taste good with the garlic butter they gave with it. The Milky bar pudding tasted really good as well, it had a nice sweet flavour, and the ice cream went really well with it.

L. B.

Delicious food and cocktails, lovely staff

U.

Large portions. Good quality. Great service

R.

Awesome service, massive portions and an epic espresso martini!

F. M.

Was yummy and for once quiet so got seated straight away

J.

I have been to this one a fair few times now and each time doesn't disappoint. The venue is large and has multiple areas, the staff are friendly and service is A+. Food is great, I've ordered 6 different meals in my last few visits and none have disappointed. Location is very good, handy and convenient for mall duties and light entertainment at the movies and time out. There is upper level parking which makes access easy if you don't want to muck around and to get some good food into you. All in all this place had never let me down it ticks so many boxes and will definitely be a place I will continue to visit to satisfy future cravings. Thanks team Loanstar botany

A. H.

Just next to the Botany Library, easy parking, the food tastes not bad, but not good enough. Can go and have a try.

L.

Honestly loved their pork ribs and nachos. There was a waitress serving me and my girlfriend and she was super helpful, not making us rush to order our food, always came to our table when we clicked the service button within 10 seconds max. If I got her name I would have told the Boss/owner to bump her pay up. Seemed like a Brazilian teen?

J.

Awesome Food was delicious, Drinks we're good & staff & service were very good as well can't wait to go back. The only thing I wasn't happy with was there wasn't all the Cowboy stuff I've been used to, pictures of "Clint Eastwood" etc & the stuff that gives "Lone Star" that classic Wild West - Bar feeling, other wise Awesome 😎

A.

Fantastic steak, brilliant drinks and awesome service! Definitely going back soon

S. C.

Isha and the team were fantastic. Food was hot fresh and delicious. A must vist for the hungry and foodies. Push button service was a very nice touch.Well done team.

A. C.

Brilliant meals, awesome service and they even offer Uber eats! Amazing place deserves every star I give :)

T. S.

We were very happy with the service from Brooke, she was fast to take our order and really kind and we had no problems with our meal at all. She even wrote a really nice note on our takeaway container telling us she hopes we enjoy our leftovers later and to stay safe.

B.

First time eating at a Lone Star. Service was great . Atmosphere is nice but the food was really disappointing. I guess once you've had Spur, your expectations are high.

L.

A fantastic atmosphere for friends and family, the restaurant was warm and inviting. Friendly wait staff, attentive throughout the entire time we were there. The drinks and meals we ordered were great and promptly served. The only downside was the sweet pastry base to the banoffie pie which was hard. Will dine here again and also recommend to others.

F.

Beautiful place had a birthday dinner on Thursday, and it was amazing , very recommended to our family and friends, the service and the food phenomenal and amazing , such a lovely people are working there and was able to meet this beautiful lady Isha love the beautiful faces that was shown to our family amazing , gonna go again lady’s keep up the awesome work

R.

Very popular, with cozy atmosphere and seating. The service is very good, and the food itself is pretty damn tasty. The portions are very large; in some cases, enough to feed two people. Their menu is also very extensive and large. I'd recommend their nachos (if I remember correctly they have 2 of them; just pick any one, they're worth it).

S.

The food was amazing and couldn't get enough of it. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Will definitely try to go there more

E.

Top service, even though they were packed.

M. H.

Yum food, great service. Where we sat it was too dark and the table sitting near us were very loud. A group of about 8 females came in while we were dining which is fine but I believe it's the room itself which was very closed in that it seemed louder than usual, or else the women just had loud, hideous laughs 🤦‍♀️ Anyway depending on what you're looking for, Lone Star is still yum and a goodie to return to every now and then.

C. C.

Lost a point where there was something not quite right with food... its just seemed a bit bland. I had the Pork Ribs, which according to Lone Star website, is "the meal that made us famous!". I'm not so sure that people would be raving about the ribs I received. Lost another point... not such good value for money! Nice enough atmosphere, and reasonable service; but not quite at a level to warrant their pricing. At >$3 per rib, and then having to pay extra to get fries and coleslaw. Meh. "The meal that makes me think I'll go elsewhere next time".

S. S.

Always love lonestar but this isn’t one of my favourite restaurants, I’ve been here twice and had the same issues. I asked for steak to be completely cooked and it was very rare, then also got a milky bar pudding (my favourite dessert) which usually comes with a generous helping of caramel sauce but was disappointed when this one had a mere drizzle and the tiniest spoon of ice cream to accompany it I’ve ever seen. Nothing compared to Massey Lonestar which I am a frequent at and have never had issues with my meals. Other family members also had some issues with there meals being cold when served. Probably wouldn’t go back to this one! Especially with the price you pay for the food.

P. a. L. O.

Good selection of Gluten Free options. Good service and time frame between ordering and delivery of our meals. Very clean and tidy and saff were very polite. Only 4 stars this time as waitress seemed to be lacking in the knowledge of importance around the necessity of Gluten Free requirements for Coeliac's. After asking to speak with the manager which arrived within a minute, Claudia confirmed to me how the meal was prepared and also made by the main chef and that it was totaly safe for me to eat. This was a relief and gave me confidence to enjoy the meal which was absolutely well prepared. Advices to Coeliac's; Advice the manager on arrival if you are Coeliac so they can then make sure the chef's are 100% aware of your dietary requirements. Other than that they would have got 5 stars.

S.

Great food, very generous portions, and excellent service. This was my first visit to Lone Star, I don't think it will be my last.

S.

You always know what you're going to get at Lone Star. Good quality food and plenty of it. Attentive service and acceptable wait times for food and drink to arrive. It's important to note that Lone Star runs on a purely 'walk-in' system and you can't book in advance. Having said that they're usually fairly well patronised and I've never had to wait more than 20 minutes to get a table.

R. R.

Wow! Double wow!!! When you need service you press the service button, this gets you beer!!!!! Press Order and your food needs get taken. Then if you want to Highly Commend the staff, food, atmosphere, view, cleanliness, speed, timeliness or general quality, press the manager button (remember Kiwi's don't complain in public). We go to many Lone Star restaurants, this is going to be a favourite of ours! :)

l.

Food was great. Portions were big and tasted great. Topped of with very friendly service.

V. P.

We got more than we bargained for this evening. It was my son's birthday and we got very special treatment. Or, at least it felt like that. The manager came out to wish us well and said if we needed anything just let him know. Then he reappeared at dessert time with a birthday surprise ... The food was great, the menu seems to have grown since the last time I dined at a Lone Star restaurant. And, I really enjoyed the different non-alcoholic mocktails 🍤🍗🍹🍮

I. L. G.

The food is always great. We had a longer wait because it was the night prior to father's day. We were offered a free bread as a thank you for our patience. Staff are very friendly and efficient.

D.

Really enjoy the food here and all staff go out of their way to make sure we the customer is happy.

e.

Superb food and excellent customer service. Absolutely fantastic restaurant to satisfy your hunger with family. 5 star for LONE STAR!!😊

D. L.

I love going here for dinner. Sometimes the restaurant is very full and busy, and you have to wait for a table, but it's worth the wait. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The service is excellent. The food is delicious. The manager seems very dedicated to the restaurant - it's nice to see him help out his staff with the service and he has a great positive attitude :) Well recommended going to this restaurant!

P. P.

Very popular. Great for a casual dinner out. The food is consistantly excellent with large portion sizes. I find it hard to go past the ribs. It can be difficult to find too many really healthy choices on their extensive menu. Go there when you aren't dieting, it great.

W.

My whole family loves Lone Star. Good food and good customer services. The only disappointed thing is every time we got served half cooked beans, got food poison once from their half cooked beans, we would never touch their beans any more. Other than that, food and services are all good.

r.

The food was ok. I got an aged steak asked for m/r but got w it also took some time getting to us but its understandable because we all ordered steaks (10 of us)

J. Y.

Went on a Thursday night. Plenty of seats available. Service was a bit slower than other places, waited for approx 10-15mins after given the menu. Food was delivered a bit slower than expected but acceptable. As well we had four mains (chicken, ribs, lamb and deer) and all came at the same time. But the quality...it was worth the wait! The staff did check up on us several time while we were there, felt we were looked after! Could improve, but still highly recommended to all!

J.

Go only if you have a lot of patience. Took 40 mins for your drinks to arrive, on a weekday, 3 glasses of a red wine and a tap beer, nothing too complicated either. So dread to think of the wait time on weekends. The food was good but the pleasure was lost. Will def not go again!

J.

Had the Johnny Cash Stash (chicken), was excellent. Chicken was nice and tender, portion size was good and the whole family enjoyed their meals also. Atmosphere was good. I'd recommend Lone Star to everyone

S.

Caesar salad was good but not great. Found the chicken was a bit dry and weren’t the best pieces. Wait staff seem a bit casual but serviced the table fine. Think we’ll stick to the Pukekohe Lone Star though as they have never disappointed.

G.

Lovely food. Ribs were great. Service was a bit slow for the second course but they were packed. I like the request for service bells on the table. We will be back

E.

Love this place. Me and my partner come by here and there and it never disappoints. Staff is lovely, food so far has been outstanding and just the whole atmosphere brings on good vibes. I recommend this place.

L.

Had an awesome birthday dinner thank you.

T. C.

I love the burrito ranchero. The setting is also great and pleasing. The artisan loaf appetizer is also delicious. My only gripes are: the steak - Was not cooked as well as I would have like, And I once ordered the honky tonk chicken and it was very dry. Might have been a one-off that time, though.

M.

First time here. Restaurant was very busy, great atmosphere. Manager absolutely wonderful and very accomodating, also our waiter Trent was great to deal with, very pleasant with great service, only problem was the wait on our food. Drinks and Entree were super quick just our mains took 40 minutes to come out. Might visit again this time on a quieter night.

S.

Very friendly staffs and delicious food

A.

Fantastic service Isha & the team very friendly and accommodating not forgetting the delicious food. We will definitely be back.

K.

For some reason Botany was better than Manukau branch. Staff was more friendly. No complaints with the food. We had the tiger prawns and the ribs.. wow! yum!

R.

This is a restaurant worth a visit. We have been there so often that I have lost count. The staff there are so so friendly that I cant say enough. On one of our visits to either Rotorua or Taupo my son was crook and he threw up around his plate. Their staff not only cleaned up the place while we got our son cleaned up but they kept our food heated and ready by the time we were back on our table. Hats off to your customer service. From a food point of view I cannot pick a single dish as my favorite, the Pork Ribs, or the Lamb Shank, or the Salmon, or Prawn, or any of their Chicken dishes are worth trying again and again. My son loves the Road Runner special which has crumbed strips of chicken breast. The meal sizes are definitely worth the price. In addition they have the reward program with discounts on your next meal or free dessert once you accumulate certain amount of points. I recon the reward program is a plus point. Go Lonestar....you get 5 stars from me.

R.

Service is brilliant. Do appreciate the fact it is a Family orientated restuarant. Relaxing and vibrant atmosphere. Food I would rate it a 5 out of 10, there again we all have different tastes. I do recommend Lone Star - This is my personal overview of Lone Star.

K.

I got the combination nachos (beef and chicken). I preferred the chicken but that is just because I like chicken. I came in for lunch with my baby. They gave me a booth so I could lay him down on his blanket. Staff were quick, friendly, and food came out pretty quickly. Drink came out immediately too. Thanks :-)

G.

The service was excellent and the food was fantastic

N.

Great food. Great service. We had a waiter on his first night on the job and his service was great. Very charismatic. Very thorough. The food was awesome. I had garlic butter with my steak and it wasnt very garlicky......but it was butter.....and i wasnt complaining. Coz it was still yum. I enjoyed it. Steak was great. Chips were absolutely DELICIOUS. I would definitely go back. Thanks Lonestar Botany!

A.

The prawns are lovely, very tasty meal! Staff were a bit rude and had to remind them a few times I'd ordered a drink. Too pricy for the service you receive.

M.

As per usual a pleasant experience. I do have to give them props for implementing the electronic system at each table making it easier I ask for service from waiters at a push or a button. Nice touch.

E.

A fair meal for good prices. Nice size portions and simple food done well. Service was quick and the servers were very helpful and friendly.

M.

Really enjoyed the food, nice friendly staff, service was good, nice and clean, great experience, would defnetly go back

A.

My family come here often and we always have a great experience. Claudia is our favourite waitress she is so friendly and super efficient.

P.

Great sized portions. Been a number of times and always get a tasty meal. Good service as well.

S.

Always good food. This time we didn't book but they found us a spot anyway, even though it was a busy time

A.

By far the best tasting lone star I have been to, lonestar is my favorite restaurant but this particular one was the best out of all the ones I've been to. The food was amazing the taste was spot on with so much flavor and soo big and tasted delicious I will definitely be back when I'm in auckland again. The staff were lovely and the place was in a great spot. Highly recommend.

A.

Ordered a Classic Meal and dessert from Lonestar Botany via UberEats. Very happy with the service. Delicious. Perfect Portion size. Good packaging certain components separately so none got soggy. The delivery was very quick and efficient. Great handy service when you are wanting something a bit more homestyle and not wanting to dine in. Fully recommend :) A+

D.

Always a good time at lonestar. Excellent service and good food. Taste is a bit different from what I remember in the old Newmarket branch. I felt it was a bit more tasty back then. Either way it's still good portions and good food.

c.

We had Isha and team and their service was really good!! We had such a good night and the food was delicious :D

T.

Have been there twice now, first time was great but second time was not so good. Atmosphere was a little off

J.

Me and my family were here last night for a birthday dinner. We were all pretty happy with the food and the service we received ☺.A special shout out to Brendan and Makaela for hosting us through out the night, both were fantastic and very professional! Would definitely be dinning here again. Thank you!

J.

Excellent service and food :) all the staff there tonight super helpful. Couldn't ask for more. Didn't get their name and hopefully can thank them all (was there from 6pm to 7:30pm 25/05/2019 so please thank the staff that time for me)

A.

For a food place in a mall it's surprisingly good. Worth a visit

D.

Nice dinner, meals cooked to perfection! Wait staff were good as well, overall a nice experience

B.

The food was excellent and the staff very friendly. Good to see Steve (the owner) running this place 👍. Would definitely recommend it.

F.

Food is wonderful, steak was perfect to my order but when we got there, no forks, asked for forks, got 1 fork instead of 5, the lady serving our table looked like she didn't want to serve us and had a "I hate being here look" which made us feel pretty uncomfortable :( they messed up the order for drinks we asked for some coke and got Corona instead. I rate 3 stars because the food is bloody good <3 thank you

F.

Place was great as well as staff, just the room wasn't well ventilated, even though the fans were going. Got stuffy. Staff always asked if we were fine. Great family atmosphere.

C. C.

The food was delicious, waited bit too long for waitress to take drinks order, and food order. But in end lovely meal, will definitely go back. 😋👍

G.

Food is fantastic, great menu, prices are very reasonable and the staff are always helpful, great atmosphere of you want an evening out with sports on at the bar, we love it here and would always recommend to anyone to visit 😃

F. D.

Had my daughter's birthday there and the staff were amazing, they sung her happy birthday and were friendly and helpful. The food was great. Highly recommended

B.

Cheery staff, busy place designed for a quick in and out, but food is really good.

K.

isha and team were so lovely. the food was delicious and service was great.

F.

Food is nice but man... When it's busy its very noisy (seats and tables are quite close to each other), especially with children around.

J.

Omg the food was amazing the service was on point lovely girls, manager was so friendly also, was a very busy Saturday night we didnt book a table but they had 1 for us next to the window was an awesome date nyte for me and my partner A++++

L.

Had a really good steak here and it was very good. The bartender made a really good lemon lime and bitters for me aswell. The customer service was also great imo. Thank you

L.

Good atmosphere, good portion size, service is great, good food. Nice place for a less formal, noisier gathering.

h.

Nice meal & good service. One problem the meal I ordered was missing one ingredient on the plate. Waitress was good & offered to take the meal back to kitchen.

L.

What a great Valentine's dinner! We had Brandon serving us and he was soo great!!'the food was delicious! The steak.melted and the chips were soo.soft and yum!! Brandon your service was amazing and im.so sorry we didnt personally get to.tell you!

Food was good, service a bit slow. They were slammed as if was a full restaurant. So you can forgive them. Staff were reallly nice

D.

The quality of food has definitely gone down from before, but overall still a great place for special occasions with the family.

I.

Very disappointed with the quality of the food, the place is very tasty but small, not good enough like the Westgate, beautiful view, but desert take more then 20 min to arrive, we needed to ask 3 times, the kids felt ignored.

J.

I had the perfect steak and mash with garlic butter! Free chockies for Mothers Day too. Great service with the kids too.

J.

Excellent service & yummy food

S.

Friendly and efficient service. The burgers were good too.

U.

Really enjoyed the food. The service was really good and the atmosphere was perfect for our group of 4.

O.

Would have been 5 stars but they messed up on and the drinks and almost charged us for a pitcher instead of single drink. Food was great though

M.

Food was fantastic but the lights were too dim to read the menus and the noise level was very high making conversation hard.

N.

Amazing place great, Great Food, Awesome service - the staff are very polite and respectful would go here again also got a free desert when signing up environment was clean and clean restrooms too A+++++

R.

Lone star never disappoints if your up for a rootn tootn big American style meal you're in luck topped off with a bud or a delicious cocktail 🍸 yeeeeehaaaaww

C.

great customer service by Amy and Isha !! also food was delightful and well prepared ☺️ enjoyed it

D.

Service was by several teenagers that clearly wanted to be elsewhere, food is definitely better somewhere else for the price.... but the desert was great when it finally showed up - go figure

R.

Food is always great. Service was good

L.

I love Lonestar so I guess I'm somewhat biased but the food is always cooked to perfection and extremely tasty. Expect to spend 50 dollars or more per person if you are ordering mains.

M.

Good food, lots of screaming kids on Saturday night. Quite annoying to be honest... 🙄

D.

Must try is their lamb dish... Too die for! Excellent service with a great vibe. Definitely going back.

C. T.

Still enjoy their ribs, Only issue was that we got the Holiday tax thing, despite not seeing any signs... Great service, a bit pricey, and a you get what you pay for on a lot of the items!

J.

Pretty much the only place in botany if you want a semi decent environment to dine in, so go hard if that suits you

R.

Really enjoyed the food, good service via a press button device on your table and right next to the movie theatres

n.

Slow but great service. Good was good but cold. Bar service could be better

S.

Great food even though it was busy. The service was great

S.

My favourite restaurant since moving to NZ from Asia, this is exactly as I imagined a good kiwi restaurant to be. I order so much here as it is all fantastic quality food!

K.

Nice hearty meal with great service

K.

Great kids burger! Excellent customer service and the management came to check the temperature personally as they opened an extra part of the restaurant for us.

J.

Not one person in a large group was disappointed with the food they'd chosen!

J.

We tried this place just after they opened and felt the service was good but one of our meals was inedible and had to be sent back I think this was probably just a teething issue but havn't had a chance to try it again.

J.

We asked for two glasses of water which we received, but with two plastic straws in them.. why do need straws in glasses of water to start with? The restaurant is really falling behind when it comes to reducing plastic waste when many other restaurants and retailers have started their campaigns against plastic.

A.

Awesome. The food was great and the staff went above and beyond to look after us and make us feel special. Thanks again guys

s.

Kids love their food.. portions are huge so if you are a small eater like me, ask about the portion sizes.

L.

Use to really rate this place as the best lonestar around along with Pukekohe, however our last couple of visits here service has been average at best.

M.

Nice layout and cocktails. However, inexperienced staff. Average food, the chicken I ordered was partly pink.

S.

Had a wonderful night at Lonestar again great food great team, Isha and her team are wonderful

R.

T.

If you're a foodie, you'll love this place with ambient atmosphere, excellent food, friendly service and at the same time you can bring your mates for a get together. Mates exclusive !!!
