This is a Chain Restaurant, yes it is in the heart of beef country, but it is still a chain restaurant. Once you grasp this the food isn't horrible, it is good, not great but good.
I always go for the Baked Sweet Potato. The wait staff has always been friendly even when we took my son (at the time 18months old). Nobody rolled their eyes or made comments we could hear about the small child.
Overall good experience at a Chain Restaurant, if this was a "mom and pop" place, then yes I would rate it lower and complain more.
I enjoy my steaks rare, medium rare is still cooked too long to truly enjoy a good steak. Some of the steaks are over seasoned or smoked and that is all you can taste, but again it is a chain. I have never had a steak I wanted to send back here.
I have enjoyed every meal. Unless I can find a hole in the wall that cooks better than my family does, then I am fine frequenting this chain when I am in town.
I have been there twice in the last couple of months and the quality of food is not the best. Today I ordered the Pork Chop and it was so overcooked it was black on the bottom. The chili was basically hamburger with a few beans. I agree with the prior review that the smoked steak was less than desirable. I would not recommend this place unless there is major changes.
Review Source:Lone Star used to be a pretty good place to eat... Then they remolded the whole place and everything went downhill. Instead of cool Texas-theamed lights and signs everywhere, the place is empty, like seriously. There are three or four black and white pictures on the beige wall and that's it. The wall separating you from other customers was lowered so now the is no privacy between your table and the whole entire restaurant. The food even went down hill. I used to get Cheese Fries on a huge plate and split them with the whole table. Now a small lump of fries sit on a big rectangular plate. Food, atmosphere, service-everything is worse now. Won't be back.
Review Source:Bleh. Â Avoid at all costs
If you are going to be a steakhouse, at least know how to cook steak. Â If you are going to have a steakhouse in the heart of beef country, it better be good steak.
Visited on a Tuesday night, kinda late but they still had over an hour before closing.
Hostess was indifferent to seating. Many employees walking around talking to each other despite there being many customers. Â Sat at a booth near the bar. Â (The bartender served me and she was very nice and helpful)
They were featuring their "Signature Smoked Sirloin" so i figured i would give it a try. Â Medium rare (as a steak should be enjoyed) with broccoli and a baked potato. Â Did not try the "Texas Rice" and having lived in Texas all my life, i have never heard of "Texas Ride" anyway. Â Dumb marketing people making stuff up.
Anyway got a beer (Amber Bock) and it was flat.
Steak came. Â Smoked is an understatement. Â It was so smoky as to be inedible. Â AND it was seriously rare. Â Choked down a couple of bites then sent it back. Â Cold, red and bloody.
Manager came over and apologized ... Got a regular sirloin instead, medium rare as well. Â #0 minutes later the steak showed up. Â WELL DONE. Â As in completely cooked, no pink at all. Â Tough, chewy, also inedible.
By this time, i had already eaten the small baked potato and the broccoli (Both of which were good, but both of which are really hard to screw up too).
The bartender came back, apologized (But did not deduct the sirloin). Â By this time i was pretty miffed so i just paid it (with a nice tip) and left. Â
I basically paid $20 for a flat beer, baked potato and broccoli. Â If i could give it 0 stars, i would.
This review is for May 31.
Competent service, tasty food. No complaints.
OK, maybe one tiny complaint. The waitress rattled off the types of potato--baked, mashed, sweet potato fries . . . I interrupted her to tell her I knew I wanted the sweet potato fries; I love them. Oh, no, she said, it's a baked sweet potato or french fries. A lot of people misunderstand that, she said. They shouldn't toy with us like that.
