    Dining Room

    Lone Star Café - Grapevine Located on Main Street, Grapevine off Hwy 114. About, 10-15 years ago it used to be a Braums Ice Cream store. The food is consistently delicious with good portions. Quality is great too. Staff are friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is great too. I would definitely recommend it.

    Big plate but not the food proportions for the size of plate. This is you average breakfast place and I mean average but pricy for what you get. Looks to be run by a loud lady and her children seat you after waiting and when you walk in and there are empty tables and they say that their iPad is slow. I ask myself what does that have to do with being seated when you see several tables that are open and cleaned. Sat up at the front door for 20 to 25 minutes with the buzzer in my hand and then eventually was called to come in to sit at a table for two yes, the ambience of this place is decent and nice and clean. Looks like a lot of the core that you could pick up at your local hobby shop though just like you would make your home look nice. Don't imagine I'll be back when there's other cafés that are identical to the same food servings and semi service. Come on $7.50 for two coffees REALLY!!

    Boursin Toast
    Santanu S.

    After a few years, I decided to give this restaurant another chance. When I arrived sometime after 8:30am, a skeleton crew of one cashier/hostess, one waitress/manager and one server were on staff. After 9am, the rest of the waitstaff arrived. After the hostess served my coffee, my waitress came by to take my order. By the time the Boursin Toast arrived, I had finished my coffee. My waitress had not checked on me until my plate was half empty. As a result, my coffee mug had been empty for a long time. Unlike other nearby tables, I was not given water. On a side note, after the remaining staff arrived, the server went table to table with a coffee pot to fill the mugs. The Boursin Toast was okay. The sourdough toast was lightly toasted, so it was soft rather than firm. The scrambled eggs were brownish and overcooked. On the plus side, there was sufficient amount of the Boursin cheese on the toast. When it was time to pay the check, there was a significant wait. The newly arrived waitstaff had not started waiting on the tables. My waitress was taking other orders before she handed my credit card to the cashier/hostess. The cashier initially gave my card and credit slip to another table, one far from mine. Fortunately, the customer did not accept the credit card. Afterwards, the cashier returned to the Point of Sale system before returning the card correctly to me.

    This place is so cozy! I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere (kind of felt like a cozy cabin). The server and host were super kind! I got the very berry waffle and it was yummy and good priced!

    Eggs Benedict with chorizo!

    WOW!! The food was hot and delicious! Service was fast. Clean restaurant. Will be back. Yum!

    If you want a hearty breakfast, this is the spot! It has the feel of an old school country diner with the menu to match! The waiter was really nice, attentive, and didn't miss a beat. He continuously came by to make sure our coffee mugs were full and that we didn't need anything else. Disclaimer: Come hungry because the portions are insane!

    Grits, fruit and bacon

    The customer service was amazing! Everyone was so nice from hostess to waitress. The food was such a surprise! So exceptional! I'm from the south and those were the best grits I've ever had, no exaggeration. Also, I got an egg white veggie omelette that was truly exceptional, literally on par with $70 plate restaurants, there is no picture because it was gone SO fast! Great portions, fresh hot coffee with refills. Very affordable pricing. Will absolutely be back! So happy to have found this place!!

    Chicken and waffle
    Kelley K.

    So many things went wrong during our visit to Lone Star cafe. I'm between a zero and 1 star rating based on service, kitchen prep, comfort, enjoyment and food taste. First, I called Lone Star on a Saturday morning and asked how long of wait would a party of 6 be for breakfast, I was told "no wait, we can seat you right away" I replied "great, my party of 6 will be there in 5 minutes." About 6 minutes later we arrived with other groups already waiting and were told the wait time was 15 minutes. I asked one of the patrons waiting how long he'd been there ( wondering if three groups just happened to walk in the last 5 minutes and the guest told me 10 minutes meaning- I was not given accurate information on the phone. We waited the 15 minutes and were seated, and it was all downhill from there. It took a while for anyone to come to our table, by the time the server arrived for our drink order we were ready for our food order as well. The drinks did come out quickly but the coffee was cold- not even room temp- COLD so we to ask for hot coffee and creamer. The hot coffee did return with an apology but we still had to ask for creamer again and there was not a coffee refill offered. Food arrives and pancakes are delivered without butter or syrup so we had to wait again for those to be dropped off. The waffle we ordered (ordered plain with zero toppings to include no powdered sugar), was delivered with sugar and whipped cream so we had to send that back and wait for the plain waffle we ordered. Waffles are in the cute shape of Texas but around Austin was raw batter- gross. The skillets were cooked fine but lacked flavor and portion size is small. I had the patty melt with fries and as you can see in the picture the frozen to table fries are literally a handful, they might as well line them in a single row next time. Additionally, there were mushrooms in this burger where the menu did not list mushrooms. People have anaphylactic allergies so adding things like mushrooms are potentially very dangerous for folks, I don't understand how this restaurant not only doesn't complete an order as requested, given my waffle example, but then adds ingredients not listed in the menu. The last item I'll mention is the bathroom, there was always a line for ladies room to include the employees that need the same facility. Recommend making these two single seat bathrooms into gender neutral to alleviate the lines and help the employees from long waits so they can get back to their tables. Also recommend honesty for patrons that call in advance, misleading people isn't a good business practice. For the servers, consider using patron waiting times to drop butter/ syrup and look for steam or the feel of a warm cup before delivering hot beverages and leave some of packaged creamer on the table if you don't have the time or organization to accommodate customer needs. Also, the old toothpick trick works just fine on checking if waffles are cooked before serving to paying customers and the kitchen needs to play close attention to what the menu ingredients are, and what the customer order is. We paid about $90 before tip for a frustrating and unfulfilling meal, I would not recommend for food, service, atmosphere or anything in-between.

    Classic American Breakfast

    We went here for breakfast as we were visiting grapevine. The breakfast was amazing. Classic eggs with sausage and hashbrowns with white gravy. 10/10! Very affordable and amazing service. The sweet waitress even cleaned up after my daughter who spilt her water. We will definitely be visiting here again. Loved the Christmas vibe as well!

I made a mobile order and swung by on my way to the airport. When I walked in, it wasn't in their mobile order stand and there was no one at the counter. I waited a short time for someone to come from the back, and my sandwich was ready, but sitting packed up, behind the counter. Why have a mobile order pickup area of you don't use it? I ordered the turkey bacon avocado. It is a bit cheaper from the other chain sub shop in Grapevine, and I was interested to see how they matched up. First off, they added my pickles. I like pickles and it can slip past people's attention, as it is not a standard topping. The bread was soft and the sandwich was a good size. The bacon was nice and crispy, but I found the filling a little skimpy. The turkey was completely lost. The strongest flavors were provelone and bacon, but it is essentially a turkey sandwich. There just wasn't much of it. Nor the veg. Lettuce and tomato were just barely present. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't GOOD. Long gone are the days of $5 foot longs, but I do expect more for an $11 seven and a half inch...

Aside from that aspect the actual taste of the Caesar salad was good. 3/5 My daughter had the same issue with the chicken sandwich, she wasn't a fan because of that. The fries are basic, some were crunchy with a soft inside and some were very hard. 2/5 I am not sure we will return as the food is basic for an expensive price. I would suggest they at least offer some type of combo option to include a side and drink.

We always get the [Jumbo] Hot dog, which is not as big as you'd expect, but it's tasty. We enjoyed eating the Jumbo Chili Cheese Dog, Char-Grilled Maxwell Street Polish Sausage, and the Char-Grilled Polish Sausage. These are all the hot dogs we typically order. We're not fans of the Italian Beef Sandwich nor the Big Beef Sandwich; they typically have a lot of gravy in them. The Char-Grilled Italian Sausage Sandwich wasn't worth it. If you side the gravy and don't add peppers (an extra charge), you'd literally just get the bread and the sausage. The fries and onion rings are usually mediocre, but it's good served as a meal.

It was one of those places you just kept going back to because the food was consistently great and it felt like a true Chicago institution. So when Portillo's finally came to Texas, I was thrilled. Let's start with the star of the show...the Italian Beef with hot peppers. It's incredible. Order it dipped and you will be in food heaven. And if you really want the ultimate Chicago move, make it a combo by adding the Maxwell Street sausage. That combination is absolute perfection. Messy, bold, and ridiculously good. Of course, the Chicago-style hot dogs are outstanding too. Just make sure you order it the right way and "drag it through the garden." That means the full lineup of toppings, just like they do in Chicago. It's the real deal. The sides are fantastic as well. The crinkle-cut fries are always solid, and the onion rings are super crispy and addictive. If you're trying to behave a little, the chopped salad is my wife's favorite. It's fresh, loaded with flavor, and honestly one of the best salads you'll get anywhere. And here's the surprise for people who haven't tried it...the hamburger is fantastic. Big, meaty, juicy, and full of flavor. I'll say it plainly. It's better than just about any fast-food or fast-casual burger out there. Bottom line...Portillo's isn't just another restaurant. It's a Chicago legend that delivers every single time. I'm glad Texas finally got the memo.
