Reviews of Lone Star Dunedin

C.

Some may look down on Lone Star and consider it a pretty basic chain bar-restaurant but those people are wrong because you can't argue with results. Wait staff were friendly, service was quick, the food was delicious with generous portion sizes. Dixie Chicken always a pleasure and the Midnight Nachos were also very good. Additionally, some of the best mashed potatoes I have had from any restaurant ever, and at about half the price from what you'd normally pay. Plus they do frozen margaritas which is fantastic. Overall, you could do a helluva lot worse than Lone Star Dunedin. Well worth it

R. J.

We ordered take out here last week and unfortunately it wasn’t the best. The ribs were quite tough and had lots of gristle. I asked for the coleslaw to be removed from my meal but this didn’t happen. It’s a shame as we don’t order from restaurants very often. I will say though that their garlic bread is absolutely amazing. Possibly the best I’ve had. Highly recommend that if you’re ever there. Perhaps next time it will be a better experience and I will update my review!

B. A.

The ribs are great in fact 5/5 the only way it goes down a point if it's ever not the best I've ever had, service fantastic, the nachos is a solid 4/5 but I take nachos very seriously, so 4/5 is a really good result considering 5/5 is always for the best I've ever had, they also have this cool call button thing

We arrived later in the evening, mid week to a very warm welcome (only 2 other patrons) and offered menus, drink orders taken...warm, cozy, great sounds! Food arrived with massive apologies one item wasn't available...but all good...we had more than enough for 3 of us...deeeeelish! Then, just as we left, with another apology for not having our missing item, we asked if we could purchase a little bit of ice to take back to our motel across the road, and no problem at all, we were given a wee takeawaypack...no charge!...what a fab experience! Hats off to the young staff...Supreme service, food and ice! Tumeke!! We will be back!

J. S.

Dinner with our 1year old grand daughter for her birthday. Staff couldn't have been better made it special for all. Food up to usual high standard. Thanks guys for making it a great night out.

S. V.

Great fast service, plus food was amazing =]

C. J.

Me and my partner came in for tea tonight and left absolutely thrilled ! The meals were huge and delicious ! The service was amazing and the atmosphere was great ! The staff go above and beyond to give you a great dining experience. Thank you guys, Will definitely be back :)

R.

Ribs are always a hit but ordered it for entree and came out with Mains. Salmon was amazing by itself but was disappointed as i was given seasonal veges instead of seasonal salad as stated in menu. Veges were sickingly oily as it overtook the natural taste of all the veges on my plate. Would like to try with salad and buffalo chips next time. But my actual fave dish is Johnny Cash Stash.

J.

My husband took me here for my birthday we had lovely meals and they were generous portions. The staff were very helpful and attentive without being overbearing.

D.

We were visiting Dunedin and went for dinner here and were served excellent. Very friendly staff and excellent food so we went back the next day and had the same experience. If we come back in Dunedin we will absolutely go back here.

R. L.

Fantastic foods! I hate the salad normally but I can finish Lone Star's one, maybe they put some magic sauce in it😂 The best soft lamb ever in Dunedin. It was too full for 2 of us, otherwise I will try the Dessert. I will be back!

M. L.

Just had a dinner at Lone Star with my wife after completing a personal goal. I am happy with the amazing service of their staff and excellent food. I also received a complimentary pavlova cake for celebrating my success today. I recommend Lone Star to anyone who want to enjoy good food or to celebrate a special day with friends.

B.

Some of the kindest and friendly staff I have met. They also dealt with a difficult situation with a lot of professionalism. The food was very nice and so was the setting. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

S. A. D.

We had our meal delivered and it was disappointing. The salad was made with brown ends on leaves like what I would discard. Fish was lovely but the garlic loaf with supposedly lashings of garlic butter hadn’t even been heated enough to melt the butter and there wasn’t much of that. I ordered coleslaw and that was delicious. I feel they could do better.

C.

Student staff vibrant, friendly and attentive made for pleasant experience. Good food variety and the burger & chips was ample and delicious. Finger licking good, so to speak.

V. S.

Very good meals, specially sea food, nice and friendly staff, Guinness on tap! The plant burger is a must to try. Delicious desserts. Recommended.

R. W.

Nice place with a range of options - bar, lounge, restaurant. Close to the centre of town. Friendly & helpful staff, eager to help. I had the ribs which were a special of the day, & a couple of beers that came to $54 Not the fault of this place, but seriously, does anyone, anywhere in earth eat coleslaw? No, I don't believe you, they don't.

A.

Awesome food and very friendly & helpful staff. Highly recommend

J. L. H. (.

Very popular, easily a 30-45 minute wait in Friday/Saturday nights, but you can wait with a drink at the bar. Huge portions, hearty flavours, good value, and nice staff. Has WiFi but can be patchy depending on where you're sitting.

H. R.

Lone Star is not the cheapest restaurant in Dunedin for sure. But when you want to celebrate something special, you don't look for a cheap place, but a place where you feel what you will spend on is worth every penny. Lone Star is exactly that kind of place. When wifey and I celebrated our wedding anniversary, we received wonderful service. I must give a special praise to Zannah (or was her name Zaina?) for no particular reason other than being helpful, attentive, and full of smile when she was assigned to our table. The BB pork rib was delicious, the tiger prawn was delightful, and the Jack Daniel's chocolate fudge was a true icing on the cake of our wonderful evening. Will definitely recommend this place to any of you who plan to celebrate something special with friends or loved ones. Thank you, Lone Star!

K. L.

Just had a big lunch today at Lone Star with my family on my birthday. I am pleased with the service of their staff I cant recall the name of the good man who served us today. Thank you very much. Food was excellent and I recommend Lone Star to anyone. Definitely coming back.

k.

Great park to walk ion and wonder the racks

A.

Great meal fantastic service

J.

Catherine, our server was great. The food was awesome as always, we really enjoyed ourselves....again :)

H.

Ah, Lone Star. What can I say about this classic Kiwi restaurant that hasn't be already said? The aesthetic? Immaculate. The Menu? Wide-ranging and adaptable to ones personal needs. The food itself? Simply stunning. And of course - most importantly of all - you can shove mouthful after flame-cooked mouthful of ribs into your face, coating your hands and your head alike in rich, rich sauce like some manic bear that broke into a condiment factory - and not a single person shall judge you for doing so. And really, what more could ya ask for?

O. J. S. M.

Absolutely gorgeous ... I thought Papakura Auckland cooked the best steak.... nope.. Dunedin cooks the best steak.. compliments to the chef...😉 .. If you want the best steak come to Lone Star Dunedin... the seafood is great too...👍

c.

Had my 21st there. Great experience, good prices and good drink and food options. Their avalible venues are all nice rooms, at a good price. They were very helpful at organising the 21st, and made everything very clear. I would recommend the Lone Star to anyone looking for a great 21st, at an affordable price. A very good place, that I would absolutely recommend!

L. P.

The restaurant was very busy. We had a 45min wait. So we booked, went elsewhere returning 40mins later, had a quick drink then were seated. The food was excellent. I had a vegetarian dish followed up by a decadent dessert. Service was top notch.

D.

Lone star was good .food good .staff good .Just good .but not exceptional take want you want from that ...

D.

Always a great meal...but pity they don't do their small meals which were great 😀

J.

Lovely meal served promptly to a group of 25 people.

s.

Great food and service yes it is pricey but worth it

F. M.

My family absolutely enjoyed our evening at the Lone Star Dunedin Saturday 6th Feb. The service was excellent, thank you 'Jay' & the meals were beautiful. The birthday cake was just lovely? Thank You! After the meal we adjourned to the Bar which we thoroughly enjoyed with fabulous service. Thank You so much The Lone Star team 😊

N.

Good staff and good food .Great after work for a couple of quite ones or twos lol

K.

Love the food here, very cute atmosphere, and their cocktails and dessert are amazing. Definitely worth dining at. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of five is because both times my partner and I came here, the servers kinda just forgot about us towards the end of our meals? The first time we came here, we had great service at the beginning and middle. I ordered dessert and asked for a cocktail with it. The dessert came, cocktail never did, and after waiting for a bit we saw that our server was leaving for the night. We didn't think it was that big of a deal, as we weren't charged for the missing cocktail or anything (we figured the server just had a hard night and forgot, so we didn't make a fuss), so we just finished eating, paid and left. But a similar thing happened the second time we dined in. Again, great service at the start. We got our starters and cocktails, then ordered and ate our main meal. When we were done eating we stacked our plates while we waited for the waitress to come collect them and offer a dessert menu. She didn't come back to us, but was around taking care of other tables next to us, serving/clearing plates/offering dessert menus etc, so it's not like we were out of sight/out of mind. We sat and waited maybe 15-20 minutes after we had stacked our dinner plates together (to try and make it obvious we were done eating and make it easier for her to collect them). After that, we went up to the front register and were able to flag her down there to let her know we still needed service. At this point we were there so long, we decided to just get dessert to go instead of eating in. So overall, good experience and great food/drinks, but being forgotten about at the end of the night sullies the experience slightly. We'll still come back for the yummy food, I just hope the third time will be the charm =) [I also want to note that the second time we came, there was not a kallpod on the table]

J. J.

We enjoyed our meals thankyou. The Beef and Chicken Burgers. Very relaxed atmosphere in the bar area. The service was exceptional. I never managed to get his name but the bar tender on the night of the 14th in the red tshirt was outstanding so polite and professional. In fact all the staff tonight were brilliant. Thankyou

S. M.

Delicious food and drinks, great staff and atmosphere. Special thanks to Hannah who did an awesome job of serving our big group. Highly recommended and will definitely be back!

B. a. M. 8.

Excellent...the food was marvellous and the highlight for us was the service...our waitress was so kind and professional and all the staff were very welcoming. Very well priced for 5 people all having 3 courses and drinks about 60 to 65 a head so very good value for money.

S.

Portion is big!!! Best for sharing

J. B.

Meal, company and staff were wonderful. But the chairs were dreadfully uncomfortable. For anyone with back problems/pain, their chairs offer no comfort or support. Why do restaurants do this. I can name a few right here in Dunedin that I avoid due to their chairs..... Cheers June 🌺

M. N. “. R.

Great food ,burgers were amazing ,super juicy and hot . Kids meals were also amazing and nice size for the kids. We had the wrap ,hero burger ,and Mexican toaster all kids Meal and chicken and beef burgers with chips and aioli both tasty. THANK YOU GUYS GREAT SERVICE TOO .

b.

Nice meal although ribs were a bit on the cold side.

F. N.

First off we get the usual Lone Star “we can have a table ready for you in ten minutes if you’d like to wait in the bar” racket. This con is rolled out every time I visit a lone star no matter how many empty table there are. Tonight there were roughly five empty tables that remained empty during our meal. It resulted in us buying a round of drinks at the bar. Well played lone star. The food and service was of a pretty good service. I asked for some sauce for my meal which came up on my bill for an extra $2. Given the cost of the meal and the nature of it, one that most people would have sauce with, I thought this charge was over the top. Overall a pleasant experience but I won’t rush back.

P. C.

Really good,first time I've been to a lone star,expensive for me,I'm a cheapskate. Lucky I got shouted

B.

Awesome service thanks to Emma from North Dunedin!!!!

A.

Our meals were delicious and humongous 😆 The service excellent.

M.

We are hear last 3/3/21 for my wife's birthday dinner while visiting Dunedin. The food was wonderful, and the service is spot on. Thank you Olga for the great service.

S. M.

The quality of food has dropped over the years. When it used to be on Princess street, it was truly delicious, not so much now. Very generous servings which match the prices.

R. D.

Great service. Meal, salmon was delicious. Nice to see Sandra and Paul. Great couple. Robyn Dunlop

M.

My ceasar salad had an awful lot of super crunchy bits of lettuce in it which made it a bit awkward for me to eat. In saying that, tasted amazing. Was very impressed that I was asked if I'm coeliac or intolerant when I asked for it to be gluten free. Not everyone knows the difference.

M.

Great food. Friendly staff.

C. B.

The waitress seemed rather confused at first and reading the menu really didn't inspire much confidence either but once the meals arrived (quickly) they where hot, fresh and of high quality, it's a good place to go with family, portion sizes are hearty and meals are simple, would happily eat there again

C. S.

Not bad. Food service a tad slow but portions are big and quality is OK.

S.

It's as you would expect if you know... generous helpings with great food... And that's exactly what you get. Plus, our son has allergies and all staff we have ever dealt with have always been so very helpful and accommodating for him. They will always ask what allergies there are, and make sure that the kitchen are aware. We have never been let down by the team in Dunedin. Keep up the great work. You always make us feel like allergies are not a problem. Thanks you.

G.

From the easy online process to the man at the door great friendly service. Our waiter looking after us was very attentive and thoughtful. When I paid the bill the young lady taking my money was friendly and informative. Hadnt been here in ages, totally impressed with the standard of service. Food also excellent, great options. My daughter got the entrée ribs as her main which was plenty

E.

Had a little gathering here for my 21st bday! Got a FREE complimentary dessert with a candle ,so cute! Had a burger absolutely delicious!! As well as the banoffee dessert!! So yum, super friendly and officiant staff, would totally recommend!

J. W.

Excellent food and Service! Always a delicious steak! Excellent service. Nice to have your drinks anticipated before you run out. Kids meals were super fast. And hubby always loves the lone star ribs. Easily the one restaurant where you can go and just know that you will always get a fantastic steak. Brilliant!

C.

Great meal great time, always enjoy

S.

Cool restaurant. Is busy at dinner time so be sure to make a reservation before going because we even had a wait for a table. Food is great. Will fill you up but what you dont eat you can take home. They do use a cool way of ordering makes it quicker and much easier.

R.

Consistent standard of good food and great service across their chain of restaurants. Great night out

B.

Absolutely fabulous food, amazing staff! I Was in a group of 17 trying the mid winter Christmas deal, all meals were delivered together no one left out, we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, thank you Lone Star Team!

N. T.

Lovely food, but as we suspected there were two other functions happening upstairs (end of November). Our meals took forever to arrive. Also seems weird that you can't book if not in a large group. I am not one to drink a lot so sat with one lemon lime and bitters for over an hour before we were actually seated at a table in the restaurant. The waitress also forgot about my wine which I ended up going through to the bar to get. The server said because of the muck up it was free, yet we ended up paying for it on the bill. Had the service been better and food been faster I would have rated higher.

C.

We went to Lone Star to show a friend from the UK what all the fuss was about. Our server Hui was fantastic and friendly and timed every run past perfectly. The food was excellent as per usual and our British pal was suitably impressed!

N.

Amazing server. We have some dietary requirements and he went extra miles to ensure that it was catered for. Amazing service and generous portion too.

A.

We always go here to celebrate birthdays etc got to redeem my birthday points. Couldn't finish and had to take home a doggy bag - bonus - lonestar two nights in a row 😁

G.

Had a lovely time ,team where very helpful even though they were busy .All eight of us had a lovely meal .

A.

Great staff, food was exceptional. Highly recommend 💯

R.

Great atmosphere and wonderful meal. Staff were very friendly.

P. A.

Lovely atmosphere very friendly staff delicious meals loved upstairs with huge square table ideal for large family party

J. N.

Excellent service , friendly well presented staff. My steak came out the way ,i asked. The taste and tenderness of my steak was exceptional.The portions were really decent. Overall a pleasant and positive experience.

c.

The food was so tasty, the staff are awesome and friendly

C.

Always great food, but always to much to eat!

E. L.

Absolutely fantastic staff. Super friendly and willing to engage in conversation. Meal was delicious and super quick to come out after ordering. And the character and atmosphere of the building and lay out make you feel very at home. Couldn't recommend more!

H. J.

Very welcoming and friendly with great food and service. Jacinta says seated with one server per table. Bit disconcerting to have minimum of seven different servers coming to our table.

E.

Great food, massive portion, good service, nice atmosphere. Only down side was being charged a credit card surcharge for using paywave and none of the signage mentioning a surcharge for anything besides credit.

K. H.

Service and food quality are both good and b it's great they are using free range chicken but their vegetarian mains a very limited (nachos or a bean burrito). Can't speak for the nachos but the burrito was just ok, not as flavoursome as their meat meals. That being said they're meat meals are very good and great portion sizes. On the plastic side be aware that their doggy bag containers are single use plastic and despite us asking for no straw in our cocktails this request send to be forgotten about.

G.

Usual high standard that I expect from Dunedin Lonestar. Steak was perfect and the Jack Daniels Mud Cake is still awesome.

D. P.

Noisy place. Salad was asthetically undesirable. Poached egg was undercooked. Missed my order for additional chicken. Waitress was friendly and accommodating. Won't order salad option again.

T.

NZ's best Lasoo of Hog, great staff

C.

Excellent meal. Excellent service. Great company

C.

Great food as always. Thanks

R.

Food was good. Customer service was good too but I've been served better.

N.

Good staff good time : )

Cool restaurant. Is busy at dinner time so be sure to make a reservation before going because we even had a wait for a table. Food is great. Will fill you up but what you dont eat you can take home. …

L.

Awesome service awesome food thank you so much lone star Dunedin

T. d.

Service was polite, kind and friendly and the meals were nicely sized and flavorsome, all in all, it was a lovely experiance just a couple of minor stuff in terms of flow would have made a 5... until next time Thanks Staff y'all were great!

D.

Great service, delicious meal and good sized portions. Wonderful dining experience

m.

The place to go if you are hungry Top fodder.

R.

Food was good. Customer service was good too but I've been served better.

S. B.

Good food etc, just always closed for ordering online very early (before 7pm!) which can be frustrating. Just says they're closed.

C.

Great staff great food.

W. H.

Top class great service beautiful meals cooked perfectly. great atmosphere

K.

Large portion sizes and decent quality but a bit pricey for what you get in my opinion. Front of house service is not good with them asking you to take a seat in the bar first. Very obvious attempt to get more money.

M. C.

Lone Star is my favourite restaurant. Too expensive for something like a weekly night out, but great for special occasions like birthdays. My only complaint is that even if you make a booking you may end up having to wait. I've gone there twice for birthdays where we've had to wait even though we booked days in advance.

S.

( March/2018 ) Generally speaking, This place is Quite GOOD !! 1st Visit -- I wasn't Really understand the Service Style .. 2nd Visit -- I Felt the Easy, Relax and Welcoming Style. I Like it.. ( A+++ ) The Customer Service were Good at both Tables and Reception area. *** The ONLY issue that I'm not quite sure about is the Quality of The MEAT !! Some Meat were Dry and Tough, Is it because Lone Star purchase the CHEAPER than Standard Meat Products?? So, the Quality is Low ?? I Don't know the Answer..... And, I'm sure the Reply from the management team will Deny it..... Anyway, I WILL COME BACK again for Sure..... YES, I Like this Place!! (....To Management Team ....The Dishes are NOT Cheap at all, please Upgrade your Meat Product & Quality !! )

J.

Delicious food (especially the ribs!)

J. W.

Good effort. Pork ribs texture ok. Sauce was too sweet and rich which made it a bit sickening. On the bright side, service was excellent and lovely environment.

F.

The first was out of business, the second offered a hot stone, so you can cook your own lamb (no thanks, I'm out to eat, please have the trained chef cook my food) and Lone Star. Knowing its Texas influence, I was worried that my vegetarian wife would be left eating salad. Nope, there were four vegetarian "mains" and none were devoid of nutrients (aka pasta and veggies). I chose Lone Star.

R. L.

Had a wonderful meal with the family. Atmosphere is really nice and the waiter we had (Levi) was a joy to have. I had the Burrito Ranchero which is just out of this world. Perfect blend of chicken and jalapenos.

j.

not one complaint . this place is a must go if you havent already been . I've always got the ribs but have recently tried the johnny cash stash which was delicious .

G. I.

The burritos were amazing. A busy place but it is very noisy if you want to have a conversation.

А.

Compliments to chef.. Beautifully cooked steak.. Even though extremely busy night.

s.

Awesome food great service Mackenzie and the pork lasso won us over

j.

Amazing such friendly staff warm welcomeing place and meals were absolutely incredible huge n definitely made with love flavours were amazing couldnt fault it one bit best restaurant in town ;)

M.

It's not cheap, and the food isn't exceptional, but it's so well set up as a place to go with kids. Excellent kids menu, and great service.

K. O.

Central location, good honest food, generous portions, excellent staff. Nice ambience and has high ceilings, which makes it far less noisy than say, Lonestar Wellington, allowing conversations without having to shout. Only negative is that unlike their other mains the Redneck Ribs does not come with sides; coleslaw and fries costs extra, which can be a surprise on the bill - this seems at odds with what makes Lonestar.

G.

The food and service was better than the last time I came here. Apparently there is new management so this may have changed things for the better. I attended a work function so I had an unpriced set menu but the price of drinks wasn't outrageous.

R. E.

The Ribs were amazing! Staff was nice and the place looked clean and everyone was so happy with their food. Great for family and friends

N. R.

Had my daughter's 21st birthday party. Staff on the day was very helpful. Food quantities were not so good as expected. Great location

M. Z.

Located just down from our hotel in Dunedin we were seated after a 15 minute wait. This restaurant was well run and the food and service was extremely good. Thanks to Hui who looked after us.

l.

Went in the other day, ordered the ribs. Wasn't a bad wait time but could be better, the ribs were stacked up as high as possible and it was beautiful. First bite into the succulent juicy meaty ribs and I noticed that the sauce was a wee bit rich for this old guy haha lol but overall a very good experience and would recommend! P.S after demolishing all of the ribs I thought I had a heart attack haha lol x

D. S.

Great spot in Dunedin. Great for kids and the whole family. Good standard of food and service. Being a chain around the country you know you will always get something of quality.

A. W.

Referred to us by our host, for his personal favourite / local foods. We luckily snagged up a parking space close by and proceeded to be quickly seated. Originally we had the expectation of a steakhouse, but I would say Gastropub suits the overall ambience much more. Great for families and groups. We were fortunate enough to have Izzie serve us for the evening, she was a gem. Starting us off with a super light and refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail - a boy named sue, quenched our thirst beautifully. Izzie was kind enough to go through her personal favourites from each section, each with two options for either a lighter or heavier meal. As our appetite was quite low, between the three of us, we opted for the Dixie Chicken, Maverick Fillet and Midnight Nachos. Service was prompt and attentive, everything you could expect in a gastropub and more.

K. S.

The service and meals were excellent. The meals were really large - actually they were way better than the meals served in Christchurch Lone Stars.

D.

Had a lovely meal here. Service was fantastic. Recommend early meal 5-6pm if you have kids as not so busy then.

S.

Our food was over cooked meet didnt fall off the bone like it should, not really enough sauce with either pork or salt and pepper squid but it was alright. Garlic bread was delicious

B.

Amazing meal 😋 I have just began the FODMAP diet following my GPs recommendation (this limits dairy, gluten, garlic, onion amongst many other things). The staff were super helpful with all my intolerances, would recommend to anyone in a similar situation

D.

Food was great. It might seem a little pricey, but the portions are very generous. Service was good

C.

Slightly overpriced but all bars are. Very quiet (in a good way) with a good aesthetic although a bit dim. Bartender didn't know what a twelve was though.

A.

Brilliant friendly service . Well presented tasty meals

R.

Good service and food was delicious

N.

Good meals was disappointed not to be able to get the 2 chicken breast but hoping it is something that will come back. Amazing staff and service.

J.

Great family favourite with some great 'Specials' on the menu (Recommend the 'Savanah Lamb'). Had to wait for our reserved table but still a great experience.

d. c.

Nice place to take the family. Has a nice vibe to the place with awesome food and child friendly. Service was below average but was made up with superb meal presentation

T.

Good food and friendly personnel

J.

Great food, great atmosphere, great customer service. Food came quickly and was delicious. 10/10, would go again

J. S.

Good food but very noisy. Poor acoustics in there. Not the place to go for a quiet chilled meal but great food none the less

J. W.

Always a great place for a meal. Food is fantastic and a fun atmosphere. Have been here for many birthday celebrations.

M.

Probably my favourite Lone Star branch in NZ. You get all the goodness you get in any branch with little extra kindness and a beautifully designed building

V.

Large meals with dairy free and gluten free options. Friendly staff who took care of us really well.

L.

Awesome service awesome food thank you so much lone star Dunedin

N. L.

Great customer service. Delicious and well timed food, with decent portions, despite being an avid dessert eater, I just didn't have room.

S.

Staff are so welcoming, service is great and food is always a high standard. Dixie chicken is the family favourite.

J.

Great place to eat. Food is fab. Staff are great. But a lil too dark for my liking.

C.

Customer service is great. Often quite busy and noisy. Food isn't anything special, but still very good. Great for families and groups.

A.

If you're in Dunedin you must visit this place. If you are in a motel you will be probably staying on George street. It is on George street. Amazing place with great service and good value for money.

M.

Great place to take your family. Free drink & dessert for kids. Good service. Big meals

B.

Great meal. Great service.

D.

Not sure how they expect to serve hot food on cold plates.?. Apart from the temperature, it was about what you would expect from a chain theme restaurant. Not great, but not bad.

K. M.

Great meals. I had the large Johnny Cash, not often do i leave a restaurant feeling full, except for Lone Star. Will be back again before long!

P.

Same as every other Lone Star you've ever been to. Staff are friendly. Food is good. Bar is warm

t.

Expensive. Good service. But gerhard burger was soggy on the bottom. Patty overcooked.

N.

Great meal, fantastic food and excellent service.

K. S.
