Came for the fajitas. Strawberry made our dining experience tonight wonderful. She was attentive but not over bearing as some servers can be. Going forward we’ll always as to sit in Strawberries section. And listen people remember order the Queso without steak spice. It’s the only move you need to make. Thank you!!

Delicious food and good service. We chose to visit on a Saturday night, so the slightly longer wait time was understandable.

First time here at Lone Star. The waitress was very nice and good service. The food wasn't great. The onions rings on the steak were soggy. The steak had no flavor what so ever and was quite tough. It felt as if I was eating old beef liver and the broccoli had significant amounts of yellow. The garlic mashed were mediocre, something you could probably get in a cafeteria, and again very little taste. I've driven by here so often and wanted to try it. Thank goodness you have great staff because really the service was the only thing that stood out as being good quality. Even the churros were over cooked. Needless to say, with the price of food today, there are so many other places that have much better food at that price point.

I recently dropped in to Lone Star for refreshments with a friend visiting from out of town. The service was good and the beer was cold! Of course, the fresh chips and salsa hit the spot!

Fajita was phenomenal! And alligator tail bites? That was a first for us, but got us craving for some more! We truly enjoyed this experience, same said for those margaritas, just mind blowing... But our visit wouldn't have been the same with our wonderful server Alabama!

Super friendly attentive service. Thank you Georgia! Food is fresh and delicious. My Sante Fe salad was perfect. Fajitas are great with a generous portion of toppings and the soft flour tortillas. And of course the complimentary chips and salsa!!

I wasn’t going to give a lone star to lone star. Beans were cold and seemed like they came straight from a can. The slaw was just terrible. I wish they had any sort of bite or flavour. Bland slaw without a dash of vinegar. Not impressed. The ribs were actually not bad. Cooked well and fell off the bone beautifully. The fries were absurdly salty. Although they had a good crisp and texture, the extreme amounts of salt coating them really ruined the meal. The Oreo cheesecake for dessert was pretty good though. Cool and unique atmosphere to distract you from the insane wait times. This dinner was around 3 hours long which was completely absurd.

I was there last night for the first time with 2 friends, we ordered wings with habanero sauce, honey garlic and another with something bbq I dont remember exactly. Ive been vomiting since last night, and going to the bathroom often. The colic is too strong, those of us who ate the same sauce are the same, my other friend is not because she only ate habanero sauce. I definitely wont be back and if my stomach doesnt get better, Ill have to go to the hospital and take other measures, we are clearly poisoned...

Although the food and service were very good, I could not give more than 2 stars. The stack of plates that were put on the table for the fajitas was dirty. Between the plates there was disgusting food. The plates were not washed. When I showed the wait staff, his reaction was genuine but there was no compensation given for this disgusting oversight. It could have been a real turn off for some people to the extent that their experience at this restaurant might have ended. This was my first visit to this restaurant and fortunately the food was very good. It was a family get together and a bill of over $230.00 but the disgustingly dirty dishes makes me not want to return. Sorry that comment is harsh but true!

Our server was nice however, we had to wait over 1.5 hours for shareable fajitas over 35 min for drink. (Coke) The cheese with nachos were terrible , cheese like water. We spent $160 for 2 of us with no alcohol. Just super disappointed did not offer us anything for waiting super long for our dinner. Just basically said we are super busy, unless there were others I couldn t see in the restaurant it was a normal crowd. Do better Lone Star. I will NEVER be back!

I had an absolutely amazing time at Lonestar Texas Grill in Ancaster! The real highlight of my experience was the bartender, Moonshine. Not only does she have the perfect personality for the job, but she also crafts some of the best drinks Ive ever had. Moonshine s friendly and welcoming vibe makes you feel right at home, and she knows exactly how to keep the good times rolling. If you re looking for a great place to unwind and enjoy excellent service, make sure you stop by during Happy Hour and ask for Moonshine. You won t be disappointed!

What used to be one of our favourite dine in restaurants, has now become a complete relic. The food has gone downhill fast, both the quality and portion sizes, almost $60 for 2 people (without alcoholic beverages) for such an underwhelming and basic meal is absolutely insane and unjustifiable. Lone star is pricing people out, plain and simple. We got the chicken wings which were just okay but grossly overpriced, my wife got the wrap which she didn t even finish it was so basic, small and not flavourful whatsoever. The service was really good, servers were friendly and prompt. The best thing about our meal was the chips and salsa .. So disappointed this has become as unaffordable as it is currently. A family of 4 would have to take a loan out to eat here now. I feel bad for the servers who are likely taking less on tips right now because the food prices are so high. After our most recent visit this past weekend, we have given up visiting this restaurant and will avoid it going forward. PS just a suggestion- would be beneficial to have a Texas style restaurant with the ability to show Texas sports especially college football on their tvs ..

I ordered from uber and made me wait for 1 hour saying the driver is picking up but last minute they cancelled my order. Like what the heck, just don t accept any online order if you cannot take it.. i waited for 1 hour to get nothing and didn t even got a refund.

We usually enjoy lonestar and this time decided to order take out. One item was the 2oz side of guacamole (2 of them) when I got home we thought theres no way thats 2oz ..so we measured it...it was far off (such a tiny portion...wont be ordering that again). Also ordered 12 fresh fajitas (my favorite) and in one of our pack of 6...we only recieved 5. It would be good to get the right order for next time. We still enjoyed the taste of our take out but were disappointed in the fact things were absolutely lacking in quantity.

I was super excited to try out the Wednesday wing deal. But the experience left us leaving without ordering. First off the hostess was shocked that there was nine of us and made us feel like we should probably just leave them. They then proceeded to take 15 plus minutes to clear a table for us to sit. Just for us to find out they had no wings left and no beer specials left. To add to this the bathrooms were gross and both urinals were out of order. I ordered some wings on Uber when I got home from somewhere else I should have saved my 30 minutes and just did that in the first place. Absolutely will not be going back.

It was our first time here, I went with my husband and two young children. It didnt appear to be very busy, yet we did have to wait a while to be seated and then wait another long while to be assisted by our waiter. The food was alright, although mine was spicy even though the waiter assured me it was mild. But I do have a sensitivity to spice so that could be just me.

July 21, 2024

Unbelievable how bad the quality of this place has become. Low quality ingredients, rock hard rice and barely any meat for the $80 price tag. It s make your own Taco Bell. The amount of options there are out there these days, skip this.

I am a server myself in a extremely busy restaurant! On Monday I got off work and didnt want to cooke and the family went here , waited at the door for 10 mins while a unseen server was yelling be there in a min. .. and not friendly ! She then told us to sit where ever , this was the only restaurant I could find that was not packed ! There was 6 tables sat altogether. My waitress was extremely unpleasant to say the least.. she def did not want to be there.our drinks took forever and not even what I ordered I was given the lime tequila drinks so gross I didnt even drink but paid for ! My steak was a little overcooked but I ate it as my waitress was nowhere to be seen she was too busy hanging out in the back my childs got the chicken fingers off the kids menu that was still pink inside and the breading was pure mush he is a child and absolutely refuse to eat it and he was starving I literally had to stand up and flag down my waitress to come back to my table I told her that the chicken fingers were unedible and asked if my son could have just a plane cheese quesadilla as I figured it would be quick so he can eat his food by the time I was done eating my overcooked steak and my husband was done eating his fajita bowl my sons food had yet to come out again our waitress was nowhere to be seeing the whole meal she refused to come back to our table then about 13 minutes after me and my husband were done our meals Im assuming the male hostess brought ouy my sons quesadilla and then flagged a waitress down for a third time and asked for the takeout box because we were done and my son was becoming very upset I asked for the bill at the same time she came back tossed to take out box on my table along with the bill and the machine and walked away Ive been a server for a long time over 20 years I have never had such terrible unpleasant service in all my years hence why I felt the need to leave a review I paid full price for everything left the money on the table and she was quick to scoop the money off the table as I was walking out absolutely terrible service maybe its time to find a new job for that woman

Went out for a nice meal. To be brutally honest the chuck burger was a bit over cooked and the pickle was placed on top on the bun which I believe is a bit unusual. Besides that the fries were to die for. We had a very nice waitress, so five stars in that department. The atmosphere was interesting to say the least. It was very unique yet also very alive. One I could make would be to turn down the music as it was very hard to converse in conversation. Overall, I had an ok time at this establishment, would I recommend to a friend, absolutely.

My first option to dine-in has always been Lone Star BUT Sunday..... We went there to celebrate Mothers Day for me and my mother. We got there and they sat us at the very end of the restaurant, we asked to be changed and one RUDE waitress (I wish I knew her name) said I see what I can do and came back with an attitude saying that it was the only spot available for us as per the manager, but what made me more angry is that 80% of the restaurant was completely empty and it stayed half empty when we left.. Our lovely waitress try to move us but she got no luck and she was very apologetic and understood our frustration. Their reason for not moving us was because the restaurant had reservations and because I had stroller, they gave me the option to put my stroller on a corner where was next to the kitchen, very noisy and it could be a hazard.... As I said Ive been at Lone Star with a stroller many times where the restaurant has been almost completely full and I had no issues, I even suggest that they can switch me to a booth where nobody is seated and they can sit other people where I was but NO that was not an option.. Overall I was very disappoited with the situation.. other then that My waitress was great and the food was tasty as usual but I didnt enjoy it much as I wasnt happy and it was super noisy from the kitchen. The manager also didnt come to us to apologize as other restaurants would of done and I think that was also RUDE from her/his end, because we were not happy at all.

Sadly we will not be returning to Lonestar. We waited an hour for our food and when it came one order was incorrect and the other was very cold. When the food was delivered the server said Sorry about the wait but we have a large party in the restaurant . The restaurant was not full. There was a large party of about 10-12 people but if they can t handle even a full restaurant then something is wrong. Or if there s a large party taking up all of the servers and kitchens time then perhaps they should put up a sign telling customers there will be a wait because they have one table with more than 6 people. That was unacceptable. There s music which is great but it was loud and competing with the hockey game that was on at the same time. We couldn t hear each other talk. Will not be returning.

They were really busy and understaffed but Trixie did a great job getting us everything we needed even though she was running around taking care of multiple parties. Hopefully next time the manager will make sure they are properly staffed but it seemed busier than usual for a Monday. I felt bad for our server and didnt want to ask for too much so I also forgot to check in and use my $10 off I signed up for prior to coming in

February 21, 2024

Food was ok but the service was the worst I ever had! After a long working day I figured to treat myself with the all you can eat fajitas Monday deal. After placing our order and being very specific about no onions on my food as I have an allergy, our server didnt seem to care less as she didnt even ask if its an allergy or preference so my refill came full of onions. I asked for a refill as soon as I got my order as we couldnt get our servers attention whatsoever and it was taking forever to get our food, even though the restaurant side all it had was 2 other tables occupied. So when I asked for the refill, my server Trixie very rudely asked you want another refill now? After that she disappeared. We were looking for our server forever so we can put an order in but she was nowhere to be found. Not to ask how everything is, not to see if we need anything for the table, not to ask if we want refill on our drinks, NOTHING! We had to ask the food runner to place the order for us and it was the only thing that came out right! The server only remembered to show up when we finished our meal to ask if we wanted one or separate bills and make a rudely comment about having refill for the all you can eat fajitas!!! Its the first time in my life that I didnt even bother to leave tip on a server because definitely doesnt deserve one but I was looking for the food runner who did everything for the tables on the restaurant side and tip him instead for his awesome job and attention my request of no onion in my food! If youre keeping that kind of servers youll definitely lose customers! Use your runners as servers instead, theyre way more polite, helpful and understanding.

Had a bad experience my last visit but the manager Tequila definitely saved it. I called to tell her about what went wrong and she listened to everything I had to say and offered a remedy which I appreciated. Updated Review: originally I had called the restaurant and spoke to a manger after having a bad experience at this location. Food came out cold and server rang in the wrong item (order chicken tacos but got fish instead). She was professional enough and offered a gift card. Usually I wouldn t care to go back but it was for my aunt. Left a good review at first based on Tequila, the manager, but never received the gift card via email like we were told about.

I havent been here in about a year because of an absolutely awful experience and even notified the owner about, but my husband and I decided to give it another try tonight and had a really nice time! Food was really good (burrito too spicy tho lol) but our waitress Santana was absolutely amazing! She was so kind, attentive and had such amazing energy! Definitely will be making this our regular date night spot and hopefully we get her section again because made our night!

Normally love Lonestar regardless of the location but are here on Sunday and with no warning the heat was broken my family shivered through our meals leaving us with a less then enjoyable experience. Service was great, food was great minus the Frys and fajitas became cold very fast I wish I would of saved my 120 dollars for another restaurant. Fajitas and margaritas are not great when you are freezing

Service was friendly, but a bit lacking. Had to ask for plates, cutlery and napkins. Food was pretty good, we split the fajita platter. Well likely return as there were other things on the menu that caught our eye, but you can only eat so much! Churros for dessert were devilishly good! Edit: returned a second time, likely the last. Service was lacking, worse than the first time. Had a pile of dirty dishes on our table, 2 waitresses came and did not take them, a third had to be asked. They give you chips and salsa when you are first seated, a lot of chips with a tiny bit of salsa. Lets say theres 30 chips in the bowl, theres enough salsa for 8 of them. If you ask for more salsa you are charged $1.50. Its not the $1.50, it just comes across as deceitful, that they purposefully give you very little salsa as most if not all would ask for more. Best case scenario we might consider take out in the future, but that was likely the last time we will be dining in. Churros are still amazing!

I was really disappointed in what I ordered for take out last night. I ordered two fajita packs and there was not enough food to feed my husband and I. For $70 I expected better. I will not be ordereing or visiting this location again. Message to management: takeout customers deserve the same amount of food than dine ins.

We were group of 7 with a kid. We ordered item with kids menu which was priced something in the menu and later when bill / check was generated there was premium added for side and dessert. Also jalapeno relish was charged extra which wasnt mentioned when asked about that. More over the manager on duty was already left so there were no trained staff to help me out. Still giving stars because there was one waiter who was kind to get us some refund ofor the extra premium charged for the kid meal

Went out for a nice dinner on a sunday night and we were the only people in the restuarant. Our server took our order and forgot our appetizer. Our food was not great, with the ribs being slightly burnt and very fatty and the enchilada chicken being very dry. We left wanting more food to eat. Very disappointing as it was our first time there...

The food was spectacular (we had crocodile bites, and portobello fajitas). Fresh and full of flavour. The real treat was how friendly and amazing the entire staff were. From the hostess to the waitresses to the manager, everyone interacted with us and made our experience phenomenal. Can t recommend it enough!

Firstly we were sat at a dirty table, the hostess watched us wiping off the sour cream and chunks of batter left behind and just said whoops . We then sat for 10 minutes without even our drink orders being taken. We were having a lunch meeting and only had an hour so decided based on the slow service we had to go else where. They only had one server working by the looks of it and 80% of the booths on the bar side were filled so they were obviously short staffed.

Recently, I visited a place where the person who seated us forgot to provide utensils. Additionally, the drinks served to the kids didnt come with straws. I ordered the ribs and wings combo, but when it arrived. After a few bites, I realized it was pork ribs instead of the beef ribs I expected.I informed the waiter about the mistake. He insisted that all ribs were pork by default, which I disagreed with based on my experience in Texas. The situation escalated when I refused to pay for the meal, as my order didnt specify pork. The manager intervened and decided to only charge me for the wings. Despite their mistake. To make matters worse, the waiter returned asking me if i want takeout containers without even asking for the bill its like asking us to leave . This whole experience ruined my meal and day, and I have no intention of returning to this place. Its no surprise that they only have a 3.7 stars rating.

Was so looking forward to going to Lone Star for fajitas and never so disappointed. I had the chicken fajitas and my husband had the steak fajitas, mine was bland no flavor, chicken was on mostly onions with a few peppers. My husband steak was not fully cooked. Service was good but when I told the waiter how I felt, nothing was done about it. Left the restaurant feeling still hungry and disappointed. Will not return.

I am so disappointed with my experience with dining in at the lone star. I have been a fan of the food since my first experience in Ottawa when they first opened. I was expecting somewhat the same experience boy was I wrong. Upon entry of the restaurant there was no one to seat us as there was no signage to wait for staff we seated ourselves in the bar area in a dirty table which isnt a problem if the staff is busy but this wasnt the case. The waitress we had seemed overwhelmed and there were only three other tables occupied. After 30 mins waiting for our food and seeing another table get there food I was annoyed so I inquired about our nachos she said the kitchen was busy . We were in the restaurant for 45 min in total and felt this was unreasonable as even the main dinning area was not busy. When I asked to speak a manager my server said she would get her and the manager never came so I cancelled my order. I was gravely disappointed the only person that seemed to be working was the bus person . Not at all what I have come to expect from lone star

Our waitress stood talking to some people who were trying to recruit her into a MLM scheme while our overpriced food stood getting cold before it was finally served. Cant understand why anyone would want to waste good money for such a poor experience.

December 21, 2023

First time ever going to lonestar and i dont think i will ever go back. Although I am going to try and call either head office or the restaurant itself for a possible refund, I just want to say I am a taco addict and literally had the worst tacos of my life, I had to spit out my last bite and still have the thought of this disgusting taste in my head. (To put it in perspective, I recently went to Cuba where food there isnt usually the greatest, but their mexican restaurant served me better tacos then these.) I went home still hungry that night because of it. The tacos were also tiny, and should not be that price. They have a kind of sweet sauce on them that tasted horrible. The meat was over cooked and dry, not tender like I thought it would be. I had the bbq brisket meat on mine. My server was good, the place looks nice, but my food was horrible, which is generally the most important thing to me when I go out to eat. Maybe another dish would be better for me but as of now I have to say it was awful.

I have been here a few times and recommend it to customers and friends. Its unique for the style of restaurant it is. But this visit unfortunately left us with a bad taste in our mouths , both literally and figuratively. The service was horrendous for a particularly slow night. We waited forever to see a waitress and for us to receive our order. Our waitress was pleasant, and I gave her the extra star for that reason. My burger was horrible, and fries were cold. But since we waited so long for our order, I felt obligated to eat with my family and not make a fuss. I truly believe we waited almost 50 minutes to receive our meals. I know my family werent overly impressed with theirs either so I truly felt embarrassed on my whole hearted recommendation. Dont know if I will return or recommend for the future.

December 21, 2023

Extremely disappointed at the lack of attention and courtesy! We stood at the reception for several minutes AFTER the staff having seen us. Even if you are understaffed, you could have acknowledged us and then handled whatever was keeping you busy. We left - without as much as an iota of attention. Not done !!! By the way, it was not crowded at all. And I was disgusted enough to write this review, something I rarely do.

December 21, 2023

We ordered a 50 dollar bottle of wine and we got a dirty wet glass . When asked the waitress said she just rinse it.. WHAT? really . Was disgusting.. never again!!!
