Lone Star Texas Grill

What great service! Our party of 6 arrived around 1pm for a sober up lunch! The waitress was friendly and very attentive! You know you will get great service when you waitress does not have a pad of paper for your order!
She brought us some chips and salsa when we sat and kept refilling it once it was empty. I ordered the BBQ bacon burger. At the table we had two sharing fajita another burger with avocado and a Cesar salad.
The restaurant is quiet large and has a fire place in the middle of the seating area. Lots of booths and plenty of cocktails and drinks.
The food was great and they brought two sets of taco shells and veggies for the couple strong the fajita.
This was a great location with great service. If you have a layover or your plane is delayed, this is a great space to kill an hour or two.
Definitely worth a visit if your near the airport !!

Previously this was our fave Tex Mex restaurant for 15 years. Now appears to be under new management, new menu, higher prices! I asked for a garlic shrimp skewer with my rib eye steak, new waiter didn’t know what I was talking about. He brought me a supposedly garlic shrimp side dish consisting of a few tiny tasteless shrimp (what garlic?) buried under onions peppers and tomatoes. Awful! Red Lobster has nothing to worry about. I told him so. He said nothing. No offer even for a substitute. There was no salt or pepper at our table. I had to ask for both, separately. My daughter’s fajitas had undercooked veggies. Steak was not up to previous Lone Star standards even though now $ 34! Used to love this place but I guess they fired the old staff including the cook. Bye bye Lone Star.

Usually has OK service. The food is OK… but the real reason to go here is the fresh tortillas. The portions are decent and the pricing is pretty much in line with what you get. The place tends to be darker and not as clean as most other Lone Star Texas Grills I have been to, but the location is conveniently located near my office.

Server was nice. We were seated quickly.
I ordered the Bubba BBQ Brisket burger with fries. Wish they had put another topping on the burger (literally just brisket on a bun) — bacon or mayo or something would have been good. It was delicious otherwise! Fries were good.
My partner ordered medium rare rib steak. Was NOT 14oz, no way no how. Also wasn’t that great. Veggies and whatnot were good.
Food took forever to come out.

The service provided by the attendants was great; but I am not a fan of paying exuberant amounts of money for tasteless tiny amounts of food. I was a fan of the Lone Star restaurants but over the years food portions keep getting smaller and the prices have risen unreasonably. There are better restaurant options out there that would make you feel that your money is well spent. Sorry, will not be treating my family to Texas Lone Star anymore.

Delicious food. Beer selection was good. Service is nothing special but the food made up for it

Serve dishes sooooooooo slow, few tables at that moment. We wait more than 45 mins after we ordered. Even without a waiter! But chips for free, that’s the reason for the second star.

A tex-​Mex restaurant chain which originated in Ottawa Ontario and now spread to 22 locations. FYI the restaurant was once the highest grossing in Canada.
Décor: half the booths had no cushions, «when we had a refurbishment they were torn and we threw them out» — replace them perhaps ?
A resourceful staff member took us To a booth with cushioning which as torn on one side and wet from being freshly wiped.
Drinks; marguerita please — «oh, we have run out of padron» but recommend another brand — a Google search drew a blank. Fresh lime — «no, we use a concentrate and dilute it» when asked for a tequila plus limes to do a DIY drink we were given an odd stare.
Guacamole — looked like it came from a pump dispenser.
Waitress — «Please no sour cheese» — what follows — sour cheese
Seriously — perhaps this establishment deserves to have been left to die rather than thrive as a perveyor of «zombie cuisine» ie. Better eaten by the undead…

Fantastic experience! Service was great, friendly, and fast. Food was fresh & hot. Had the fajitas (as I always do) and ¹⁰⁄₁₀ was impressed. The tortillas where super fresh and the steak was a sizzling medium/​medium-​well. More than satisfied. Love this location for its consistent high quality! Definitely a huge recommend! *tip I always visit approx 2 hours before dinner rush. Staff is fresh and ready to help, food is fresh and hot, the lack of the dinners means nothing sits under a heat lamp.

Service was ok…
Food took forever to arrive and side orders were missing… no nachos refills
:-/​

I should have gone with my gut feeling and stayed away. I went in the afternoon, completely empty another sign to have left. I stayed and sat down, service was very slow and non welcoming. They bring out the chips and salsa that are cold and greasy. I ordered the fish tacos, supposedly very popular as the server told me. Took forever to come out and when it did it only had 2 small pieces of fried fish in one taco. Rice was bland and beans tasted as if they just scooped it out of the can. Trust me just go somewhere else, sad to say just go to subway and get a sub, because your gonna pay alot for something crappy.

If you like your food kind of warm but not hot, you will love this place.
Really, the food isn’t hot. Don’t eat here… Unless cold food is your thing! If cold food is your thing… You will love this place!

Fajitas & Beer… perfect combination
Wanted some classic fajitas, atmosphere is ok. The restaurant has it’s usual south western flair, nothing special.
The waitstaff was decent, not setting the world on fire thats for sure. Average wait time for food.
Had queso w/​mexi beef, this dish was ok, I wouldn’t order it again. Served luke warm & forgot beef, sent it back, returned w/​$ 1.29 worth of mexi beef.
Fajitas were ok, nothing special.
Overall, won’t be going out of my way to come back here.
It was close & convenient at the time

Have visited the Lone Star on Dixon many times. The food is of consistent quality, priced reasonably and delivered with pleasant and hard working staff. I’ve had a variety of entrees, all good, nothing outstanding, but worth the cost. I’ve never had to wait long to get a table.
We usually eat there in conjunction with a park, stay and fly, and it has become somewhat of a family ritual to stop for dinner.
Good place!

While staying at the Hilton nearby, this is the closest restaurant within walking distance.
I was expecting an in-​authentic Chain Restaurant and here’s the weird part:
It was actually good, not amazing, just harmless generic food.
The décor is nice and the waitresses dress the part. You do have to put up with some country music, but the bar section is sports only.
The food was acceptable, not too spicy or aromatic, but fresh.
The prices are a bit too high to my liking, $ 17 for tortillas and about $ 30 for a steak.
They do have free sauce and chips for dipping as well as free refills.
The service was «fake friendly», but somehow still a bit distant.

Disclaimer: I’m a native to California, so I have much pickier ideas about Tex Mex and Mexican food than the average person.
The food here was fairly average at best, with an interesting flavor profile to me — much more hints of cooked tomato flavor than I’m used to encountering in Tex Mex food. Drinks were good, but it was the service that propelled it from «meh» to «pretty decent.»
I don’t know if it was just the luck of the draw or if this place has unusually nice waitstaff, but our server was bubbly and adorable, and it really took what was a fairly awkward dinner and made it enjoyable.

Wrong wrong wrong. I came in late night when lots of waitress standing around but none greeted me to a table. I had to ask. The nacho came out promptly but I couldn’t eat much because it was so greasy. I added a pic to show how shiny and oily the chips were — like leaves with morning dew in a bad way. I had the falafael enchilada with mesquite skirt steak and it was good. I liked the baked beans, slightly sweet but not
over powering the bean taste. The falafael just had meat and cheese and some salsa sauce on top. The side of lettuce and tomatoe was ok — didn’t look too fresh. I asked for it to pack it up and I was given just a take out plastic box — no bag, no plastic utensils, no napkin. The place was huge with plenty of parking space. It is close to lots of hotels near airport. If you feel like some meat, go to Zet’s which is open 24hrs and cheaper and better tasting food. Since both basically offer no service, Zet is better choice.

I have been to this restaurants a few times out of convenience. Steak and rib dishes were pretty good. The rest of the Tex Mex dishes were not memorable. I usually sit at the bar area and the services were not good. Margarita was supposed to be their specialty… NOT. Pouring beer was not their strong point, either. ¹⁄₃ of the glass was foam…

This is was the first time that I’ve visited a Lone Star Texas Grill. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. The décor and uniforms of the staff match the whole Texas and wild west theme.
I enjoyed the salsa and chips that they served. The chips were crunchy and not overly salty. We ordered the fajitas platter to share for 2 – 3 people. This was just enough for 3 people. I really liked the soft tacos. The consistency of the dough was soft, but with a slight chew to it. They are freshly made too! They have this cool machine on site that makes them.
The steak was cooked well. The texture of the meat was soft and had a good meaty flavour to it. My only complaint would be that the side dishes that came with the meal weren’t fresh. The cheddar cheese was a bit hard, and the lettuce was a bit wilted. Overall I enjoyed my experience here.
If you are looking for something to eat in the area or close to the airport this is a good option. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday evening especially with the location being so close to the airport and hotels.

Somehow this has become my go-​to Lone Star location. Service here is quick and friendly! The only thing I wish is that they didn’t bring the chips and salsa as soon as you are seated because I can eat baskets as they are pretty addictive especially when the chips are hot and the salsa is chunky!
They have a couple specials which seem to bring me back regularly, Tuesday is $ 12.99 chimichanga night for me and Wednesday is a large sized ribs for the price of a regular portion!
The 3 amigo margaritas for $ 9.99 are a tasty treat! You get to pick three different flavors, there is five to choose from!
The food here is your average Tex-​Mex options. Alot of birthdays seem to happen here everytime I come, also there does seem to be alot of kids that attract here for their birthdays. Probably because they get to wear the big funny looking hat!
