The food was good. The service...awful.... We went for my birthday so there was the three of us (including myself) who showed up at 6:47pm. Two came in shortly after so and we were waiting 2-3 more people. By 7:10pm we ordered drinks and the rest of our party showed up at 7:30pm, she came back a third time and took their drink order and filled them in saying we "JUST" ordered our drinks but that was 20 mins ago. I mean its maybe because they didn't have a designated bartender. Maybe she was slow because there were two other parties (nobody else though... it was busy but NOT THAT busy. It's Tuesday night and by the time I actually got my food it was empty... I 've seen it jam packed and servers moving much faster). We ordered our food at 7:40pm...we got our food 1 hour later 8:47pm....the whole time we were there we never got chips and salsa.. we had to request it so we were all starving... we had to request plates... it was 7 of us so I understand it can be overwhelming. The whole table ordered 1 unos and a dos festive special (missing the chocolate even after telling the waitress, I still never received it)... the rest were appetizers like chips and queso/quac and antojitos...For the size of our party we didn't get all mains... so the food was kind of light work in my opinion. It took so long, we never saw our waitress~ it was my 23rd bday and by the time she came back I was 40 years old, crazy. Instead we got the manager to sweet talk our obviously angry and hungry table. So, he brought out the rest of the stuff and check in on us, see what we are missing. Nice guy but the manager was not managing this night, he was mostly on his phone and he did great at our table don't get me wrong, I see why he is team lead, but then he just went back on his phone. Our actual waitress didn't come back until MONEY time. Apologized for how long everything took and because bf worked at this location before, he agreed that was worst service ever and still tipped 20% out of courtesy. Tip if of the iceberg~ They had no toilet paper <3 live laugh love! me waddling my way out the restaurant~ Overall. Got there at 6:47pm, didn't receive drinks until 7:40pm, and then received food an hour after that... SIDEBAR: The best waiter is Nacho, I kept going for that guy~ he is carrying the team. Give that man a raise. Need more servers like him.

Love the food, but we were extremely disappointed to receive the worst service ever. We came in after the lunch rush, the hostess sat us down, the server seemed to have about 3 tables finishing off and 2 coming in at the same time, including us. There was a bartender who didn’t have much going on as she was chit chatting and the manager was taking care of the tortillas. The hostess gave us chips and salsa within minutes as we continued to wait for the server. 15 mins later, the server made her first contact and so we decided to give her our whole drink and food order since we didn’t want to wait another 15-20 mins before our food order. Still we waited another 20 mins still no waters, no drinks, no contact. Then someone from the kitchen delivered our food and we asked her if she could see where our drinks were. She apologized, she would look into it, and then said “we only have one server at the moment, it’s really not a server issue.” We really tired to be understanding but there were 2 tables in the dining side (incl. us) and not much action on the bar side either. If the server was alone, there were 4 other staff that could have helped the server simply by making sure tables got water at the very least. I agree it’s not completely a server issue, it’s a management issue. One of us found the manager and asked him to bring us our drinks. They came. Another 10 mins or so into our meal the server made contact a second time and we gave her another order of drinks. We finished our food and still waiting for that second order of drinks. I finally got up found our server chatting with the manager, I asked to cancel our drink order since it was taking too long and asked for the bill. The manager just stared and said nothing. To pay the bill, the server sent the bartender and one of us asked why things were taking so long, she said it was really busy. We let her know that the place was empty and it wasn’t a good enough excuse. She smirked said nothing. Service was already borderline during our previous visits and this day just made us wonder why we would ever bother going back.

HORRIBLE experience. We popped in for an early dinner and the hostess took our drink order because the restaurant was a touch busy. We ordered a margarita and a mango daiquiri. The manager brought over our drinks and said they were busy so he was the delivery boy. He delivered a strawberry daiquiri with a salted rim (not sugar, salt) and an unsalted margarita. We called him back to point out the mistake and he tracked down the server that made the drinks to remake them. The server then proceeded to argue with him that making drinks wasn’t his job and to find the bar tender. The server turned out to be our server, and botched at us that making drinks is not his job, he’s only concerned with our food order. We asked what was going on with our drinks, and he again told us it wasn’t his job and began getting aggressive with his tone. So we let it go and ordered (nachos, calamari, deep fried pickles). He didn’t appear to be writing down the order and a separate server brought us the food. The order was incorrect, she had brought us chicken and pickles. We told her we had ordered deep fried pickles, but would accept the chicken and pickles if she gave them to us for half off (since they would just be thrown out anyway. She said she’d check. Our server then came back over with the chicken and argued that it was what we had ordered. Eventually conceding and putting in the order for deep fried pickles. We asked him for some plates since everything we ordered was shareable, and he said ok, then never returned for the rest of the evening. A server helping another table saw we needed plates and got them for us, and a lovely girl checked in to see if we needed anything else, but our server abandoned us completely. Our bill was an absolute mess, and no one apologized for the numerous mistakes to our orders throughout the night. The food was sub par, and once we paid the bill and were leaving, the staff didn’t offer up a friendly goodbye or thank us for our patronage. I won’t be returning.

I am thrilled to share my dining experience at Lone Star Texas Grill in Barrhaven, an establishment that masterfully captures the soul and spirit of Texan cuisine and hospitality right here in Canada. My dining experience was nothing short of spectacular, prompting this enthusiastic recommendation. The ambiance of Lone Star Texas Grill is truly unique, providing an authentic Texan feel with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor pays homage to the vibrant Texan culture, making for an enjoyable dining experience away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. What stood out for me, however, was the menu - a delightful range of dishes that are as diverse as they are delicious. Each dish is clearly crafted with passion, using fresh, quality ingredients that tantalizingly combine to provide an explosion of flavors. The serving sizes are also generous, offering true value for money. Of particular note was their customer service. The staff at Lone Star Texas Grill Barrhaven go above and beyond to ensure their customers are well-taken care of. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted warmly and served promptly. Their knowledge of the menu was also commendable, providing suggestions tailored to individual tastes and dietary requirements. Lastly, I must mention their adherence to hygiene and COVID-19 guidelines, making sure all patrons felt safe and comfortable dining in their establishment. This shows their commitment not just to offering fantastic food and service, but also to the health and wellbeing of their customers.

We have been to many Lone Star Texas Grill. This was the worst. The server kept forgetting and came by to see if we were enjoying our meal, but when we asked for something, he said, "ya ok, I'll be right back" and never came back. We had to keep reminding him what we asked for. In the end, he didn't ask if we wanted dessert. Instead, he asked if he could bring us the bill. And then all of a sudden, to care about us as individuals, all to get a tip, I presume. Just because you are a server does not mean you automatically deserve tips !! You have to work for it, with each customer !! These are some of the things I look for with my server, in determining if he or she deserves a tip: Did your job well? We're you quick? Were you thoughtful, thorough, kind, friendly? Did you go above and beyond? Did you do anything to help your customers have the best visit they possibly could? Did you make your customers feel valued? Etc. I, too, work at a job that gets insanely busy, and you wind up, running around trying to keep up. But you will never forget your customers!! This restaurant seems to be too small or just poorly designed. It was too loud, everyone talking over the next person. Of course, it doesn't help that the bar is located in the center of the restaurant. There are no separated booths. So no matter where you go, you can not escape the noise. We will not be returning to this location.

We went in for my sister in law's birthday They forgot multiple items Got a couple items wrong And took quite a while for a food to come out, Our kids casadeas and father in laws burrito Set under a heat lamp for around fifteen minutes while they made the rest of the food, And the restaurant wasn't even busy, There were only two other tables seated in our section, They did give us twenty five percent off But I don't think that compensates for the service and forgotten items, My wife ordered steak nachos There was no steak on top, so she asked about it, The waiter told her the steak was under the nachos on the bottom... When she looked, there was no steak So they replaced her order and forgot the guacamole the second time, I ordered my son a cheeseburger with only ketchup, Took them 3 tries to get it right. The first time they brought it out all dressed, Second time they brought it out with nothing just a patty and bun Third time We found out they had used the same Burger and just scraped everything off. When my son tasted it and seen little shards of onions left, Finally they made him a new one after everybody was finished eating he received it.. I don't know if they were just having a bad day. But if this is their regular service, I would not recommend going.

Had a great date night with my partner on the patio. Our server Peaches was very friendly, attentive, professional and just had a good attitude that made both of us have a nice night. If there were any delays she would let us know, even made sure we had enough takeout containers and even gave us a bag to bring it home. As for the food it was good, not the best lonestar I’ve been to but still up to standard. Calamari was cooked to perfection and the fajitas were delicious but they forgot to give us both corn and flour tortillas. Drinks 9/10 tasty. As for the atmosphere on the patio it was very well decorated and seating was arranged to give customers enough room from the other tables, just enough open space. For being in a large parking lot, the layout made you forget you were in a strip mall. Only thing that could have been better was the busboys attentiveness, when we arrived almost all the tables on the patio had dishes from the previous customers. The only table that was available to us was the huge long table meant for 8 people. Overall great experience and will go back !

First time back to the Lone Star in over a decade, as I've been away from Canada. The fajitas are still the best in town and they did not disappoint. Those warm, scrumptious flour tortillas are the bomb! Service was also quite good, so the overall experience was 5-star. However, I do have a gripe with the post-Covid free chips and salsa policy changes, though. You now get a piddly little portion (barely enough for a family of 4) for free, and then they charge you for each additional serving. Nonsense! I can understand if this policy is to eliminate waste, but if so, do what the AYCE sushi places do, and only charge me if I leave wasted chips/salsa. Otherwise, if I'm paying $30+/person for a meal, it hardly seems a stretch to comp with free chips and salsa. As much as I like the fajitas, this policy change has me questioning whether I'll go back anytime soon. I'd rather give that extra money to the servers in the form of tips, to be honest. The extra $5-10 I'd spend for my family on the chips/salsa, should go to the servers, not corporate greed. This change rubbed me the wrong way.

UPDATE to review: They asked me to email them to correct the issues, then proceeded to just ask what happened so they can properly coach their staff. That was all. Nothing to compensate for paying for such poor service. Thanks for “making things right”. For some foolish reason I decided this would be a good spot for a birthday dinner. It started with everyone waiting 25 minutes for a drink, no water given to us in the meantime. “Peaches” our waitress managed to get every order wrong. She also told us not to get the brisket tacos because they are terrible. Once the food arrived, only half the table’s meals were delivered, without any plates to eat on. They also brought the wrong stuff out and multiple of the wrong stuff, then said we could just have it. Finally, we asked for the bills which were also all put on the wrong bills. We sat there for awhile with her fixing the bills properly. They were also supposed to bring out a birthday cake and sing which they did do, once the birthday girl was paid up and gone. How embarrassing! Can’t stress enough that we will not be back to this location. Ruined the birthday night and honestly felt upset leaving paying for such garbage service.

Bruh.... trying Lone Star for the first time in 30 years of life is like losing your virginity - not satisfying and I should've waited even longer to do it. Now I'll never get the memory out. They're known for their fajitas but I ordered the assorted meat platter for 2 people and it was the most tasteless thing ever. Small side of rice but they gave you a whole onion instead. A positive though, the beef was nicely cooked medium rare and flour tortillas were nice and fluffy. However, still bland. I had the candy gummy flight and that was good too. I still can't believe the restaurant has existed this long while other quality ones have gone by the wayside. They must get people with their ambience and drink menu because it's definitely not the food. Good decorations inside but I think Montana's does a better job at creating that ranch feel. Just hop over to the Mucho Burrito nearby if you're craving Tex Mex! At least the bathroom attack afterwards will be well worth the trouble.

We had the pleasure of having yet another delicious meal at the Barrhaven location on Nov 11th. We had dinner at the bar and were served by a woman with black/purple hair who was so friendly right from the start and happily took our food/drink orders. The food and drinks came quickly with all of the fixings! I wanted to take the time to write this review as quite a few bartenders were so helpful to us when they noticed something was wrong with our meal. Unfortunately I didn’t catch all of their names but “Red” specifically helped us with settling our bill and made conversation with us while the other bartenders “Curly” and another man with brown hair (didn’t catch his name) made light of the experience with us and left a great impression. Truly, everyone seemed so happy to be working that night and to be of assistance. Thank you to all of your staff for the professionalism and enthusiasm. This is why we love to dine at Lone Star so often!

"Best" service ever. What I can say, the server doesn't want to listen to what you have to say, ordered medium rare got it not cooked, less than rare. They took it and brought back a so called medium rare that was on the grill only on one side and still rare. Buttered brocoli is missing the butter and the cooking and everything. It was taken directly from the bag I went to all the lone star restaurants in Ottawa, all amazing staff and service, good food. This one, avoid is not worth the experience. Try the one on Baseline or the one in Kanata for an amazing experience. EDIT: after response. Why I should contact you? I paid for a meal that wasn't what I asked for, served by rude people that didn't paid attention to what I wanted to eat. And had also bad experience with your supervisor that shouldn't be allowed to speak with clients. He was way beyond rude. I don't want to remember what happened and I don't want to have to deal with anyone of your staff. Is one of the worst places in Ottawa area.

We were a party of 5. Overall, it was a delightful experience that left my taste buds satisfied and my companions and I in good spirits. There was a small hiccup that slightly dampened our experience. One member of our party received their meal much later than the rest of us. And though it did not drastically affect our overall experience, it did create an awkward situation as, out of politeness, the rest of us were waiting to dig into our meals until all of us had been served. Some of us couldn't wait as we would have been eating cold fries and onion rings. Despite this glitch, our server Diamond's attentiveness certainly overshadowed the delay. Their friendly demeanor and prompt assistance in addressing the situation was appreciated. I would gladly return again and hope that the timing issue was just an isolated incident.

We visited on October 27/2023 to celebrate a birthday. As soon as we were seated our server Hammer approached us in a foul mood. Unfortunately his mood only got worse over the 1 hour we were there. Hammer was extremely rude and condescending. You could tell Hammer didn't want to be there. The food was cold, the beef in the fajitas was burnt. The manager was a lovely lady approaching the tables and asking about our experience. I am not one to complain. But this man was so rude, I mentioned it to her, and she was wonderful. I would like to thank her for her help. When Hammer brought us our bill we explained that there was an error. Then he huffed, and rolled his eyes and stomped away like a child. I will never return to this restaurant. I recommend you go to other local Lonestars. Unless you wanted to be treated like garbage and want cold burnt food. If you decide to go and are lucky to encounter Hammer. I would ask for another server.

I visited the Lone Star Grill during a recent visit to see family in Barrhaven. I remember one of the original Lone Star locations around Fischer & Baseline back in the 90s some ages ago now. I was pleased to see that the food is still quite good. We ordered fajitas for two, a sirloin dinner and large burrito. All the food was really good. The free nachos and salsa as are good as I remember. The place was surprisingly busy for the suburban location for an early dinner on Friday. I would definitely go back. Glad to see this restaurant chain still puts out good food after being in business for decades ;)

This used to be THE place for tex mex food in Ottawa back in the day. Their flour tortillas and nacho chips are still very good. Overall, the food was okay and overpriced in my opinion. I had the chimichanga, which was a lot of tortilla and some chicken and cheese. The rice and beans that came with the meal were meh. I couldn't drink the margarita, as my stomach couldn't handle the sugar content after my first few sips. Although I would possibly go back just to purchase their flour tortillas and nacho chips, I wouldn't go back for anything else. Unfortunately, the kids do like this restaurant, so it is likely that they will request it again.

We had a girls' night out yesterday and we decided to go to Lone Star for dinner. From the moment we walked in to the time we left, we were well taken care of! Our server's name was Nacho and he absolutely elevated our dining experience! He was courteous, witty, accommodating and very attentive. It was refreshing to witness someone who really enjoys working with the public and his personality is a great asset to this establishment! The food and drinks arrived promptly to our table and everything was hot and delicious. Nacho checked on us several times throughout the meal and it just added that personal touch to our dining experience. I will highly recommend my family and friends to go visit our new favourite server. Thank you Nacho for an amazing night out!

Chips and salsa are good always 10/10. I can't say same for the fajita bowl I got for take-out. It's very disappointing to say that I had a small version of what you would get in the restaurant. I was expecting big portions, but NOPE. Also, there was some produce that wasn't even prepared properly for example, I saw an end of a onion.. Service - I can't comment as there wasn't nobody at the desk to be acknowledged so it took awhile, and a girl asked me if I was seen, I said no. She was busy when she asked, but luckily came back to serve all 4 of customers who were in line waiting behind me. I'll stick to dining in person at Lonestar over take-out. That's all I say.

Lonestar Barrhaven was an excellent place to have st-Patrick's Day dinner with the family. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. One thing that should be noted would be that the service/speed should be improved. If you have extra time to spare, this is a great spot! I can't remember the waiters name, but the other staff could take a few pointers from him as he was very personable & outgoing, even though the food was being delivered to him very slow. Thanks again, Lone Star Barrhaven management, for your hospitality. Kevin

First visit here and it was amazing. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. I saw several managers walking around making sure the bar and other areas were top notch. For appetizers we got alligator bites and onion rings and both were fresh and hot. My husband ordered a steak and it was cooked to perfection and the veggies perfectly cooked and crunchy. I ordered chicken quesadillas and they were delicious. I loved the chips and salsa. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxing. We had fast service and got our food orders pretty quickly but we were enjoying drinks and chips and salsa while we were waiting. We will be back - maybe tomorrow for fajitas!!

Went there today with my family because we had a gift card. We were so excited to take the kids and have fajitas. We waited 20 min before I got up to go speak to a manager. He informed me he would send someone right over which did not happen. The kids were getting hungry so my husband went over to A&W to grab them fries. At this point it was 10 min after I spoke to the manager and no one came so we got up and left. I get places are busy but the manager could have come and taken care of our table himself or at least brought us chips and salsa. I have never had such bad service and will never return...at least not to this location

The guy who served us was a very nice person. The steak i ordered which was supposed to be top cut AAA and medium done, was extra chewy and will not even feed it to my dog because he will chock for sure. Not sure how the chef defines Medium but there should be no blood on the plate. It was swimming in blood. I go every month to this place with my friend, this time it was not a satisfactory experience.

Walked in to pick up my order for take out was helped by a very nice blonde girl and then was repeatedly asked by Kitchen staff and tortilla guys if I was helped yet. Same people asked three times if I was helped even tho they knew I was being helped by someone else and laughed and thought it was a good joke to repeatedly come to the front and ask if I needed help. Very childish and bad service would not recommend take out at this location. Thr young lady did a terrific job althought we have young men who are immature in the workplace.

Fajita Especial

The service was very good. The Fajitas were also very good. The chips and salsa, also good. The only complaint I'd like to share is the light directly above the table, it was very dirty and dusty and is obviously not cleaned on a regular basis. The seat in the booth was torn. So I'll maybe suggest some updates and little fixes. Not a huge deal and I would go back.

Great terrace but only half of it is truly shaded. The front part has a few sparse umbrellas that are more decorative than useful. Inside is large and noisy. Big open space with concrete walls and few dividers means lots of echo and reverberations. Go hear to have fun and be loud. Don't go here for an intimate dinner for two. Do go here for a fun date of laughing and huge frozen drinks and really big draft beer mugs. Lone star is renowned for its amazing fajita bread made on site and its grilled meats and free nacho chips and fresh salsa. It truly excels at this! It's also the only place I know of where you can eat alligator!

Red and sizzler. The best bartenders in... Ottawa... Ontario... the world??? If you ask me I’d say so. These two bring a ton of personality behind the bar while remaining professional as well! Red was the server for our table and while juggling her bartending duties she was extremely attentive and made sure we had a great experience! My friend and I ordered the fajitas and Red made sure to go through all the options with us and make sure we were happy! On top of all that the new summer drinks were great! All in all we will definitely be returning for more Friday night dinners and hope to see Sizzler and Red behind the bar!

Kitchen is filthy, they don’t care about keeping environments clean and healthy. For what you put in your mouth, there has to be a decent if not total cleanliness around the area. If you pick up food from the back, take a peek at the kitchen, it’s horrendous and and eye sore. The food isn’t the best and the atmosphere and dirty environment makes it less inviting. Makes me wonder how the food is prepared for clients. Shameful. People who don’t care about a tidy environment shouldn’t be allowed anywhere close to a kitchen let alone serve others what they eat. GROSS!!!

The food was awful, dry and tasteless and the margarita was so sour it gave me a sour stomach and turned me off for the rest of the night. To add to that, the silverware was disgusting (which we had to ask separately for because they forgot to give it to us due to the fact they weren’t ready despite the reservation) the service was slow and the server made multiple mistakes which added to the slowness and frustration, would not recommend! 90$ wasted that’s for sure

Five out of five! By far one of the best places to eat out in the Barrhaven area! I've been 3-4 times and have walked away super impressed. The staff I dealt with each time were all very friendly, polite, service on point. Food is amazing! I typically get the fajitas each time I go, but decided on a healthier alternative this time. Went with one of their salads, loaded something, sorry forgot the name of it. But man was it delicious. The chicken, like always, was perfectly seasoned and juicy. Thanks to everyone who served us and the cooks and preps at the back!!!

Ordered a takeout family fajita platter today. With a bunch of other dishes. Figured I did not have to tip since it was takeout. Platter was very small. Could not feed two let alone a family. The bottom half of my bag of chips were all crushed up and in the bottom of the bag was chip bits with old dried salsa on them. Hmmm. Realize now with the online system you have to tip when you place the order. So they can choose what to do to your food before they make it. Warning. If you order on line, budget for a $50 tip for the person who is handing you the bag of food.

Food and service were as good as one can expect from Lone Star but the big negative was the temperature inside! The AC was set way too low. So low that the ribs on our platter were cold by the time we got to them and we only had one tortilla first. Which is saying something as the platter is served on a hot skillet!! The staff were great and the food was yummy so we’ll definitely be back. :)

We were a group of 18 people and we were being served by Havana. She handled our order very nicely inspite of some hiccups done by kitchen staff. We as a group gave her tips but i think i need to appreciate her commendable job of handling very demanding group like us. We really enjoyed our time at your location and we will visit again very soon.

Our last visit to this Lone Star location. They consistently make errors on take out orders. This is our third error and last one. Nothing like getting home with no chips or boats for the fajitas. The person we spoke to said that a manager would contact us the next day which also did not happen. (That was 5 days ago).

Knife and Fork Burrito and Chicken Enchiladas with a side. $18.49 each Burrito had a 50/50 Rice and Ground beef ratio after the first few bites in the beginning but the rice was hard and took away from the meat. The ground beef was unflavourful and chunks were extra chewy. Enchiladas had burnt chicken mixed in with small charcoal bits. --I have only ever had fajitas and at a different location so unsure if fajitas is all that's good with lone star or if this location is just all bad.

Ordered Fajitas for 4, was almost 30 mins late from my pick up time, and take it home to find out the meat is so overcooked it’s inedible. Called the manager, who said I should drive back to the restaurant and they’ll give me a few extra sides for the “ inconvenience “. This is the 3rd time this specific location has messed up an order. Not coming back. Better off going to Huntclub or kanata location for MUCH better consistency.

Service was horrible this time, the food was cold after waiting for 2 hours for it. Had to go to the bar to ask for our nacho chips, ask for the rice for the fajitas and the place was not that busy at all.

One of the news Loan Star’s locations in Ottawa. Beautiful and exciting vibes. You can talk and mingle and still you will hear a good music on the background. Clean and neat. The waitresses were super nice, Daisy and .., the food was super delicious. A steak fajitas, a double burger, a crispy chicken sandwich and gluten chicken fajitas. With a couple of kids meals. Delicious! Must try.

Went here a week ago with my girlfriend, food was good but the waiter was very absent and very rude when he did speak to us. He never smiled and spoke in an aggresive way to the point that it was intimidating and made us feel very uncomfortable, would likely not return soon.

Waited 10 almost 15 mins after being seated to ask where our waitress was. Restaurant was not busy so no excuse. Brought one burger for our kids to share without a second plate for our other child to eat from. Brought two orders of fajitas with no plates to eat from. Never checked in on us until we needed the bill. Food was hot but nothing to brag about. Will not be returning.

Food floating at the bottom of the glass of water, twice. There is an issue with your dishwasher. Eventually asked for bottled water. If you're ordering a coke/pepsi, more than likely you will not see anything floating in your glass, but it is there, and you're drinking it. Won't be back.

We had very slow service, very old rice, yesterday's vegetables. Really the fajitas and the tortillas were as always good. Service was very very slow. I don't recommend. Mexis is much better and they're not cheap with the toppings.

Fajitas for Two

We ordered Fajitas for 2 and rack of ribs which cost $114! For what we had it should have been $50 meal. The fajitas were flavourless. Very disappointed as Lone Star used to be a go to for us but not for this price anymore. This is our second disappointment for Lone Star….we won’t be going back.

Have mixed feelings about my visit here. Service was slow and food was delayed due to shortage of buns (we were eventually asked if we could just have a wrap instead of a burger...). We were offered 50% off the bill but that doesn't making up for the overall experience! I would still give it a try as it's quite fun and lively.

We came here today for dinner. Our waiter, Nacho, was outstanding. He made sure our nachos and salsa was always topped, drinks came right away without delay, and best of all he was very nice and friendly! Definitely will come back for him again!

It was my first time eating at lone star. Loved the food. Served with tortilla chips for free as a side. The only thing is that there are no reservation during dinners, so we waited for 10 minutes which means this is a popular restaurant. Enjoyed it!

Do not order Frankie's Nashville Hot Chicken from this location or any other. They have the worst chicken fingers I have ever had, they taste like old frying oil. Save yourself some money and buy frozen chicken fingers from the grocery store.

We had the holiday fajitas for two. It was great and lots of food.

Great they added halal options! Been here now many times… always amazing! The staff and food have always been amazing! The best and top server has been (Nacho - Shane), such an amazing guy! Always do ask for him when we go.

If you've had the fajitas before, you know what you are getting. Decent food and generally good service. Always rather loud in there though.

This is not the first time we come here, their food is always delicious. We came without reservation and gave us a table right away; nice and welcoming people. Thank you Sangria for the good service!

Had the double bacon cheeseburger. Not the best in the world but good enough for me and definitely satisfied my burger cravings for the day. Onion rings here were absolutely amazing though.

Good food, good drinks. They seem to have changed their tortilla chips, I prefer the older ones but the ones we had were still good.
