Club Lone Star

Talk about an experience, Lone Star takes the cake.  Come lunch time, this place is full of men's men, truckers and a sprinkling of bikers.  I can tell you Sister Holland had nothing to worry about while I had lunch with my good work friends at Lone Star.  Ya see, turns out, Tuesdays are Fashion Show days.  The service staff get out of their usual grubbies and slip into some very swanky (I think I can use that term here.) underthings.  I think it's just a way to get the regulars to show up on a normally quiet early week day when the place is usually dead, but by noon there wasn't a seat available for us regular folk--good thing we came early.

Now, my hippy happy co-workers play on the same side of the fence as I do, so at least two of us were just embarrassed for being there as we watched the "models" hunker up to the bar with the regulars and give a little somethin' with their lunch.  The really fun part of this is we had to do some musical chairs because one of my lunch companions enjoys herself some female companionship.   Glad this worked out for at least one of us.

Lone Star is smack dab in the middle of working' man's territory and its the perfect place to get a cold beer, a great buffalo burger and some fries before heading back out on the road.  And if you passing through on a Tuesday stop in for the fashion show. I won't tell the wife...

I came by here today for the second time; the first was about a year ago to the day, for lunch with a friend who has since moved away.  At that time, I thought to myself that I should get back soon; today, I felt the same way.

It's seemingly a ways away from "the city;" but I got here in 15 minutes, and I often travel that far for food and service that's not nearly as good.  Our table of about a dozen was served promptly, and well, by friendly and efficient waitresses.

I'll be back; with luck it will be sooner than 12 months from now.

This place is a hidden gem.  It has great food that is always cooked perfectly.  Try the chile verde burrito, it is excellent.  The steak sandwich is delicous as well.  There is a full bar and specials each night of the week.  They also have kareoke on Friday and Saturday nights which can be very amusing.
