  • When you think of Toronto, what comes to mind? CN Tower Toronto Blue Jays The Hockey Hall of Fame St. Lawrence Market Texas BBQ Wha? Texas BBQ? Located across from the Toronto Convention Center is the Lone Star Texas Grill and like everything in Texas they do it up BIG at the Lone Star Texas Grill. The restaurant is huge. The restaurant decorations are huge. The menu is huge (well maybe not huge, but I've got a theme going here...work with me people!) and diverse -- as long as you like all things Texas. And BBQ. If the Lone Star Texas Grill were an animated cartoon, it would be owned by Fred Flintstone's rich Uncle Tex Hardrock (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0580159/). The Lone Star Texas Grill features Big Salads, Mesquite-Grilled Steaks, Ribs and Chicken and more. But, Fajitas seem to be the specialty of the house. The menu claims that as recently as 1986 fajitas were unknown in Canada until their introduction by the Lone Star Texas Grill (http://www.lonestartexasgrill.com/Fajita). Uh-huh. Seems like that might be a Texas sized exaggeration. Still, my lunch companion and I decided to roll with it. I ordered the steak fajitas and my companion the steak and chicken. While I found the tray of side items to be a bit lacking, just lettuce, cheese, a dab of salsa and some sour cream, the fajitas themselves did not disappoint. The steak was tender and deliciously seasoned. The beans, rice and sautéed onions were all very good as well. The tortillas were another highlight. Made on site, they were warm to the point of still being a bit doughy even though they were thoroughly baked in the custom tortilla oven. It didn't take long to start filling up, but the food was so good that we were both inclined to overeat. The service was attentive and friendly. Our waters and sodas were refilled without asking. Lunch for two, including tip, was CAD $60.29 which is a lot for lunch. Thank goodness for expense reports! There is a lunch menu also available, so I assume the items on that menu are more targeted for the lunchtime crowd. But we weren't really worried about that, so we stayed with the primary menu. All in all, a terrific meal. Not five star, because ultimately the Lone Star Texas Grill is just another chain restaurant. Still, I would definitely visit here again for lunch.
