2.5 Stars.
Not all restaurants of a chain are made or managed equal. Lone Star Texas Grill is no exception.
I want to say this restaurant is sticking to it's southern decor so the fact that it's dim and some spots on the table are sticky can be overlooked. I wasn't expecting a steakhouse atmosphere. But rusted air vents with dust bunnies inside? Yeah that really doesn't belong.
Asides from decor, service was attentive and quick and friendly.
Complimentary chips and salsa is awesome. And the chips come warm in a basket. Awesome! And it's refillable too.
The steak here is really their strength. All their cuts are tender and delicious. They're really well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It comes served with one huge piece of brocolli and one huge piece of carrot. (both really bland) And a side of your choice. The sides are not worth mentioning. Subpar.
Calamari here is tasty. Fajitas area one of their strengths too and come loaded with stuff. Big portion size.
I did recently pass by their downtown location. It looked sleek and new from the outside and the place was packed. Maybe I'll check out this location next time. This review is really mixed because while I love their steak and chips and salsa, I do not like anything else here.
Just go to the downtown location.
