Food was very overpriced for what it was. We ordered the fajitas trio for two people, and it was just barely enough food for two hungry people. The goods are that the food was gluten free, and had option of gluten free corn tortillas. While the flour tortillas didn’t break as easily as the corn tortillas, it was good that it was available. If you were to come, I would do it during their weekday happy hour, for a few special prices. Otherwise it is way too overpriced to go out for a franchise meal.

Over an hour to get food for 2 small children and 2 adult dinning room empty on a Sunday evening and it was still wrong. Less than polite manager says don’t worry I’ll give you 25% off with a condescending attitude . Server wasn’t the greatest either after 40 mins finally checking in . I remember when this place was a great experience, now this is the second time in a year I’ve experienced this after fining them another “chance” . We won’t be returning. I would advise you to do the same.

My family and I frequent this establishment and though it isn't the "best" we have never had any issues until last night. My mom and I were the only people seated in the bar area who hadn't been served. We waited over 10 minutes just to be served drinks and chips and salsa. We placed our order while drinks were being delivered and then proceeded to wait over 40 minutes for our meal. Once our meals arrived it was evident that the food was cold. If it hasn't been so late we would have just left but we were hungry so we ate what we could. We told our server and were offered 25% off, but our meal still cost over $95 which is crazy given the wait and the quality. The manager was on site and didn't seem to care about the experience by any means. Definitely not an ideal experience.

Food pretty good and atmosphere is not to bad at all, service was kind and prompt, only thing o was not a fan of was the wings, yes they where good but for 18$ for 8 small wings I was not expecting that. I love to try wings out in any new location, sauce was decent but for 20$ or so with 8 small wings fries are separate and are extra and 2 carrot sticks was definitely disappointing. Most places they are bigger or you get more and that standard cost is 14 a pound right now, needles to say it's not worth the price

Had the soft pretzel and queso with chips. Good portion sizes and easily sharable between 2 people. Complimentary chips and salsa were brought out to the table as we were seated. These small touches in this economy are always nice. Food was brought out quickly and hot. Our server was very pleasant. We sat in the bar as we were there to watch the football and staff accommodated our request to change the tv channels.

Take a look at the grilled steak fajita. It was beautifully cooked. Didn't care for the tortillas, though, as they were thick and doughy. $30 is pretty expensive for steak fajitas. Always appreciate the included chips and salsa as well. Nice that this is not an extra charge, and they will refill.

Had a great dinner with my family. Great service and delicious food. My kids loved the burgers. The Nashville chicken sandwich and steak fajitas were delicious. They come with home made flour tortillas, so good! The draft beer was cold and got free chips and salsa! Excellent service. Will definitively come back.

We had a great experience. The service was quick and the servers were friendly. The shrimp fajitas were delicious but I could have used a bit more shrimp for the 4 tortillas. My friend had the fish tacos and fries and they were very tasty. Will go again. I love that they give you chips and salsa to start.

Our family has enjoyed Lone Star for years but this may have been our last visit. Incredibly expensive and portions have shrunk immensely. Service was friendly but not up to par (less attentive and slower than usual) and it wasn t a busy night in the restaurant. I no longer feel comfortable recommending this place.

September 22, 2024

Came here on the monday of labour day weekend as there were many open spots on open table. We waited for 20 mins and the Resturant was only quarter full. After 35 minutes and many people leaving, we asked to be seated. The hostess asked the kitchen manager to seat us and the kitchen manager Montana told her to not seat us and to just leave. The hostest was very kind and felt bad about it and mentioned they only scheduled 2 waiters for the entire evening. I have never felt more disrespected in my life. Another gentleman was there as well for an hour and never got his food pickup. We were told that we are really busy but the resturant was close to empty. Montana the manager wouldnt even come out to apologize to us. He just sent the hostess to tell us to leave.

The portions have gotten small and the price has gone up had the fajitas for 2 was so small and very little peppers mostly onions was not enough we get that all the time and it was more like for one not 2 this time also the price has gone from 50 to 70 for less food

June 22, 2024

Place must be understaffed. We ordered as a family and the kids meals come out first, which is cool, but 30+ minutes later our meals still didn t arrive. Kids ordered pop for the free refills but the server didn t check in on us at all, so they were waiting on their refills until the end, which we didn t get. Additionally, the kids meal comes with dessert but we had to remind the server. There s more stuff I could complain about but I ll chalk it up to a misunderstanding and poor policy, only saying it would be good practice for servers to confirm orders at the table to avoid disappointment.

June 22, 2024

VERY DISAPPOINTING! Me and my boyfriend frequent this place often and I ve gone with friends for their fajitas! Yesterday we went and ordered the steak fajitas for two! The rice they brought out was so undercooked my bf was hurting his teeth chewing it. The tomato s, lettuce, and cheese were so dried out I wanted to vomit! We only could put the sour cream chimichuri sauce on our fajitas. The waitress did not come over once after our food was brought out to ask if everything was ok Or ask if we needed another drink! When she finally came and asked if we wanted the bill she didn t ask how was the food nothing she just asked if we needed the machine. So we told her basically that the condiments were terrible and we couldn t use the rice at all or the rest of them. We also told her that we ve been there so many times and never had this happen. She apologized made excuses and that was it. She came over to offer us a free dessert which we refused. No manager came over to see what was wrong nothing! When she came with the bill they charged us full price for everything minus $15. I was so livid when I left they could have just charged us for the drinks and called it day! We will never go back there

May 22, 2024

honestly the worst dining experience my family has ever had waited 5 minutes to be sat, not a big deal if it wasn t completely dead.. our server (HotDogLover, according to the bill) didnt offer us drinks until we asked, or check on us for refills. while we waited 30 minutes for our food, we could see our server talking and enjoying chicken wings in the back. our food came our cold, undercooked, very obviously sitting out while our server enjoyed his food.

May 22, 2024

An online family-sized order was placed with a pick-up time in three hours. We arrived a bit earlier than the given time however the food was already in a bag -- at barely a lukewarm temperature! I hope nobody gets sick from eating food that had been left out for who knows how long. Since food safety was not a consideration, we will not be returning.

May 22, 2024

So expensive for average food and flat beer

May 22, 2024

The fried pickles were super greasy, the chicken sandwich is average, however my reason for the low score is the pricing. $13 for a single beer is insane and so is 25 for a mid sandwich. The only saving grace is that the waitresses are wonderful. Dont think Ill be back though

I normally go to the Richmond Hill location, but thought Id give this one a try since parking is easier to get. The food is good/okay but didnt follow the same recipe as other locations; the sauce with the chicken sandwich wasnt the same as it says on the menu and wasnt as good. The food wasnt hot either, felt like it had sat on the counter for a while. Not good enough for lone star. The service was okay, no complaints but not amazing. It felt like lone star.. but just worse. Not up to the standards I expect from this chain which is usually amazing.

May 22, 2024

Service was so slow, food was cold and just to get our bill took forever when the restaurant was almost empty. Won t return to this location, very disappointed. That s my experience, I hope others haven t had the same. Food : 2/5

Where do I begin? Ok appetizer...... The smallest, hardest wings I ever had with hot sauce that tasted like nothing and blue cheese that never made it to the table! Ok Im hungry so I ate the crappy wings because they were $40 plus! Lets have a drink...... A double rum and coke that did not taste of rum or diet coke at all . Ok so far no good. Im thinking my meal will have to be better! Sadly it only got worse! My 14 oz rib steak came out cooked Blue (cold raw centre) after I ordered it medium rare. So while my table of 8 ate and finished their meals mine finally came out. Now it was the opposite problem, the new steak came out cooked medium well and at this point Im just wanting to eat something so I figured a lil extra cooked was better than a raw mooing steak! It was significantly smaller and deformed compared to the first steak and too many blubbery fat parts..... gross to say the least! On to my side dish..... Garlic butter broccoli (I ordered double broccoli as my 2 sides) they only brought out half of what they first brought me in round 1. Thats a good thing because the broccoli was caked with sooo much salt and no taste of butter! The side dish of shrimps I ordered were four small shrimps with 80% onion and peppers. . Ok Im totally dissatisfied by this point and so I could care less about the 50% off they gave me on my meal. Honestly dinner with my family was ruined for me and Im not going to get into the problems with everyone elses orders! Highly disappointed, will not return and my wife who is a local realtor and me a local contractor will make sure our friends, family and clientele are well informed to skip this place! Save your money and go elsewhere!

My boyfriend and his family went here for his sister s birthday and although the servers were very friendly; my boyfriend ordered a well done steak and got a medium rare steak.. which happens and it was taken off of the bill, then he ordered some wings to take home for me, and he said that they had to remake it as they made the wrong order the first time, so it took quite a bit. When he got home with the food we went to eat the wings and they weren t fully cooked, there was pink and we unfortunately had to throw it away. The prices aren t the cheapest and having to throw it out feels wasteful. We were disappointed.

Sadly the quality of food and customer service have both severely declined at this location. My family and I like to come here once in a while to enjoy dinner, though the most recent visit will most certainly be our last. Our experience consisted of the following: did not receive chips and salsa (not a huge deal, but annoying when you see another table get them), the restaurant was all but EMPTY and service throughout took much too long, I ve been a server in the past (for 8 years) - guac and chips should take 3 min, nachos -10min MAX to hit the table, both took about 25. Nachos have shrunk in size and gone up in cost. Entrees were mostly inedible, and NOBODY came to check on us to realize this. Wings were black-boned and dry, fajitas looked depressing for something that costs 60$. Again, there were virtually 3 tables sat at the time. After not touching our food we had to find someone to get us the bill, only then did they realize we hardly ate and asked what was wrong with it, we said the food was not prepared well and they said they will get the manager. Now this was the cherry on top. I m not sure if it was her first day, or her last day - because her customer service skills were that of impossibly caring less. She saw the table, saw we were upset and said, so you guys just want the bill then? - not a care to ask what was wrong with the experience/food/what I can do to change this meal for you/let me take something off the bill . The kicker is we paid for the full meal. Ate guac, nachos and 1 taco. From a corporate perspective, I suppose all I can advise is to train your staff better all around.

While the food was edible, it was flavorless, lacked seasoning and there is no salt or pepper on the tables or brought at service time to add to the meal. I found it over priced for a meal out for two people when only 1 alcoholic drink was on the bill. As a family of 3 who often go out with extended family members, we are able to do 4 people at a similar class restaurant with 3 alcoholic drinks for the same amount as our invoice was here. The staff member was kind and courteous. While we were a simple table of 2 and not many around, we didnt find her in our face, but was lacking visually if we had wanted to call upon her. Overall, the experience was fine, but I wouldnt go out of my way to return due to cost value and bland food.

February 22, 2024

Muffin is the absolute worst waitress I have ever had and I left no tip for the first time in my life. On Saturday, January 27th, we joined our group late and they had already enjoyed the tortilla chips and salsa and had ordered a couple appetizers - which was fine, but we were never brought or offered any of the complimentary chips/salsa by the waitress. We waited forever for drinks and by the time we ordered our mains, most of the other diners had left, leaving a much emptier (more manageable) restaurant. Understandably, after a busy night, they were out of steak - np. I got the fajitas and my husband ordered the wings. I got one strip of green pepper, lots of fried onions, dried out chicken that were all cold and not sizzling on the skillet. The flour tortillas were cold as well, its as if i got someone elses leftovers that had sat all night. My husband had asked for ranch for his veggie sticks and instead they were put on the wings and the veggie sticks were dried out and woody. Muffin never cleared the appetizers/empty cups off the table when she delivered the mains and was nowhere to be seen the entire night - she never came to check on us to ensure we were enjoying the meal or needed drink refills. When we got our bill, she had put 1/3 of the apps that our friends enjoyed on our bill, even though we had none. When I questioned it, there was no apology - nothing. By that point I was hungry and upset as I couldnt enjoy my cold food and was just ready to leave, so I paid for apps I didnt eat, cold food I barely touched it was so awful and my husband also didnt enjoy his wings. The real kicker is when I watched another waitress who was cleaning off the tables that sat dirty for quite a long time sweep them off with the broom she was cleaning the filthy floors with. We used to love this place but will NEVER be back!!!

If you go for an all you can eat day, be ready for a LONG wait between refills. We did the fajitas and it was 25+ minutes for a refill. Seems that they get you to pay extra for all you can eat, but make it so you dont have time for a second or third serving. It was about 20% full of customers. Not busy. Be aware.

Ive been here many times and we plan on coming back again. They also extended their hours recently which is great!

Had the Chicken Chimichanga it it was absolutely awful. Someone else at the table had Fajitas which consisted of a chicken, a hint of peppers and a ton of sliced onions. Overall the food experience was not good. On the other hand the server was friendly. For what you pay, I cant recommend.

Really like Lone Star. Fajitas are amazing since they make the tortillas right there. Theyll even give you a raw ball of dough for kids to play with. Great servers too.

I would give this one star if it wasnt for the fantastic service from our waitress. The Food was absolutely terrible. 0.5/10. Yuck. Wings were raw, the chicken fingers came out dark as if the oil hadnt been changed and the fajita dish was a complete fail. Shrimp was sour and Ribs were burnt, how unappetizing. My 2 years old son was craving hamburger and fries and lets just say he only ate the fries and spit out the burger. Never going back.

Food was pretty good, I won t put that down. Service in the bar area was quite slow. I d advise you sit on the restaurant side and not the bar. Was definitely overpriced, feels like they gouge at every opportunity. $12 for a beer felt like I was at a baseball game. For their kids meals, portion size was very good for kids food but again $12 for chicken fingers and fries and then another $1 for a drink. To add guac to my fajitas was $3?!? Probably won t be back any time soon.

The service was nice and friendly. We were a larger group, but it was not busy. Anyone who ordered a steak had to send it back. Not once but twice. One person decided she lost her appetite it took so long. If you serve a steak, make sure someone is employed and knows how to cook it. Also. We were there for over 2 hours and were not even asked if we wanted refills on pop. Only the people buying alcohol were asked if they wanted another. That didnt sit well with me.

I ordered take out this evening (July 3, 2023 at 8:40pm). I attended the front lobby and waited for 5-10 minutes, no staff members to be found anywhere, no one in the bar area. Ordered two nachos, three quesadillas which can to about $125.00!!! The nacho order was screwed up, I asked for no lettuce, no sauce and both nachos were covered in a mystery sauce and lettuce. I got a fajita kids meal instead of what I ordered a chicken quesadillas kids meal which was very poorly done. Food quality was low to average. Overpriced. Service very poor with the wait time and significant inaccuracy of my screwed up order. This was my favourite restaurant until tonight - wont be back. Check out the Beer House in the same plaza!

I dined at this location for dinner with a friend on July 2, 2023. It was not very busy at the restaurant. It was Margapalooza and we ordered sour gummy frozen margaritas which were quite good. I ordered Nashville chicken fajitas which were not bad. My friend ordered the portobello and halloumi cheese fajitas and the entree was terrible. The food on the cast iron skillet was cold. We waited a little while to see if our waitress would come to our table to ask if the food was fine, but no one returned. I went and found the waitress and told her one of the entrees was cold and she indicated that she would let the kitchen know. I went back to our table and we waited awhile. My friend then took her dish and found the waitress to inquire about her entree. The waitress advised that the kitchen was making her a new order. I am not sure why the waitress did not come back to our table to let us know this? The new order of portobello and halloumi fajitas was delivered to our table and the temperature was hot. However, there was barely any halloumi cheese or avocado compared to what the first order contained and the tops of the broccoli were black and charred. We advised the waitress of this and she removed the order from the bill While this was a good customer service gesture, unfortunately it ended up being a bad dining experience. My food was served hot and it was fine but my friends food was prepared twice. It was not prepared right both times. Neither my friend, not I will come back to this Lonestar location as it was a sub-par experience. Vegetarian options: Portobello and halloumi fajitas were terrible.

I went to Lone Star in Newmarket last night for a family bday dinner . Our server made several mistake when the first 3 of us arrived. And more mistake as the rest of the guest arrived also . She forgot several simple things with the first drink order . Straws for the margaritas, limes for another drink and water . Server insisted a drink be up sized even when one of my party said NO and again said NO THANK YOU . Server had to be reminded twice to bring water, straws and limes . Limes were brought and no straws or water. As food started to come to table by another server they had to be asked to bring the water ordered 20 minutes earlier. I ordered the Dos steak fajitas for the bday girl and myself to share the server was told this twice and had to be shown on menu what the order was. The sever claimed they had been there for 1 year and had no clue what beer they had in bottles for 2 of my guests $57.99 fajitas was served on a small single serving skillet. Less than 1 pound of meat was brought out for that double order . The $30 steak had more on plate than my order to share with bday girl . The manager was brought over and gave no real explanation for small portion . Before meal was completed server wanted to give us bill . No coffee or dessert offered . No apologies given for mistakes . Our 6 person order was $264 . Totally unimpressed with service and lack of professionalism also portion size . Music was way to loud causing everyone to almost have to yell order . As I tried to explain to server my issues she rudely kept interrupting me and I had to tell her to stop and listen. This is one of the worst dinning experiences I have ever had anywhere. As a chef and former kitchen manager and server I would never have allowed a customer to leave upset !!!

The first time I ordered a quesadilla & it was pretty good. The second time I got a steak and it had gone bad. The waitress was very nice & the cook remade it and it was better but still not the best quality steak. I went again this weekend & it was terrible. Again, the waitress was very nice. I ordered the quesadilla with sweet potato fries. The quesadilla was okay but the sweet potato fries were very burnt. The waitress had them remade & they were less burnt but still tasted terrible. The oil they were using was clearly old. I only ate 5 fries & my girlfriend ate the rest but the oil was so bad that I felt sick for 24 hours. I have a stomach issue & normally have no issue with sweet potato fries but I almost had to miss work the next day. I normally dont leave bad reviews but I had heard such good things about this restaurant, I was very disappointed. Definitely not worth the price.

My pork ribs were served luke warm, the sides were hot. They offered me replacement ribs but it would take 10 to 12 minutes. I accepted and my guests at the table continued with their meals. My ribs arrived in 10 minutes but they were no hotter than the first batch. In the meantime the rest of my meal was cold. To their credit they offered to remove the meal from the bill. My guests enjoyed their meals but I went home hungry. Needless to say, a very disappointing evening. I wont be returning to Lone Star in East Gwillimbury.

I don t even know to start. We ve come here often, but this time around the experience was very bad. Let s start with the prices which had jacked up by a lot since the last time we came. It was about $25-$30 a plate. I got the top sirloin, which was pretty good, with a side of mashed potatoes which was good but not as hot as it could ve been. Believe it or not, the steak was cheaper than the Fajitas. My family however, got the fajitas, which not only got more expensive, but had lost some components (to have those, you now have to pay extra). Their sizzlers were not working, we were told, and the food was obviously not hot enough. By the second time making a fajita everything was cold. We were not told about the sizzlers when ordering or served. Only when we asked we were told. Onions and peppers were not cooked through. Tortillas were also disappointing. So sticky they would rip when pulled apart. Salsa wasn t very saucy. It was mostly tomato chunks. Service was okay. Our waiter was nice but the server covering her break was rude and dismissive. The manager was pleasant and did give us extra pairs of tortillas and a discount, to compensate for the poor experience. Not sure if we re coming back here ever again. My guess is most people must been having the same experience, as the place was pretty dead at 8pm on a Saturday night.
