Came here on a Saturday evening and it was super busy. We had to wait for a little more than half an hour from placing our order to the arrival of our food. However, to be fair, given how packed the restaurant was and we were told by our server that one server didn't show up so they had to cover, I'd say the wait was still reasonable. Our server was also pretty good in the sense that he came to check on us to make sure we were okay. We were given some complimentary chips and salsa so despite being hungry and the wait, there was something to fill our stomach first. We ordered the Surf N' Turf and Crispy Fish Tacos. Portions were pretty good and generous. Both dishes were decent; nothing super special but nothing bad about them either. Pricing is quite reasonable as well. We actually had leftovers since the portions were quite generous and I was impressed by the take out packages they had! They had these aluminum bags for the fajitas and their takeout box for condiments and sides was pretty organized and cute! Would come back for an everyday thing given the overall experience, service, price point, and that it's quite kid friendly! read more

I love Lone Star, it's a shame not many locations in the Toronto area. The free nacho chips and salsa is great, we ordered the fajita trio and had shrimp, beef, and chicken. Also the bunch of items on the side, rice, sour cream, salsa, cheese, lettuce, makes this great and filling. If you need more fajitas they are complimentary and you can ask the server. We also came with our child and she ordered the kids meal cheese quesadillas with fries which included a drink, and dessert option. Wonderful dining option for families, and plenty of TVs to watch any sporting events that are live during the dining. read more

I had the chance to try Lone Star Texas Grill recently and overall it was an okay experience. The menu is quite extensive with a lot of options and there is a lot of seating as well. The staff was great was able to get us seated right away and was kind. Now when it comes to the food, it was alright. Nothing about this place is special, its very average. I got to try the Chicken Fajita and the Cowboy Bacon burger. Both were good, just nothing very special I would come back for. Good bar type of food, and good place to hang out with friends. 7/10 recommend! read more

We visit lonestar whenever we have a margarita craving (they serve the best margaritas, hands down). Lately we've been addicted to their margarita flights to cut down the time we needed to decide on a flavor, think that is a genius idea! We also enjoyed joy their fish tacos - fresh and generously portioned, and their fairly tender ribs. read more

I remember I used to come here a bunch when I was a kid but haven't been back in years as an adult. I have to say I really was pleased with the food. The steak fajitas were really delicious, well seasoned, and very tender. The complimentary chips are also just so good. I feel like people would come here for chips and beer alone. Although net necessity a wing place, they were pretty good and their daily deal made it even better. Service was friendly and the resturant fun. I'm not sure if they still have it but they used to have a tortilla machine you could watch as they get baked. Was really good to relive my childhood and the food was great. I'd definitely go back again. Also the mini piñata was for a cinco de mayo promotion but shows how fun the resturant is. read more

Lone Star is a Tex Mex restaurant with various locations around the GTA. They are known for their fajitas. My friends and I shared the chicken fajitas and they were delicious! They come with copious amounts of cheese, veggies and toppings and are very filling. The service was prompt and friendly. The ambiance is nice, and there is ample parking in front of the restaurant. read more

AYO Wednesday 85-cent wing is CRAZY. The wings are all phat, juicy & full of flavour. It is highly recommended. I came with my family and ordered the whole meal (20 wings, a side of fries, and a blue cheese dip) for 21.98 before tax. You can't find anything in that price range with high-quality food anywhere in Toronto anymore. Shout out to our server Cayenne, too. Super lovely with absolute attention to detail (she served my mom a hot water pot with a lemon wedge). This was a 15/10 dining experience. read more

No food review here because the hostess at the peak of dinner hour asked if we could wait to be seated in a restaurant that clearly had plenty of seats. Then we waited. And waited........... Whilst waiting, we observed. The ambiance did not include music, which was odd since Texas produces a lot of it. Perhaps Ontario has banned music from the USA? Well, Alberta also produces a lot of CW music! We wondered if management had heard of Shania Twain? The final straw was the door to the patio, WIDE OPEN, allowing the cool air inside to be replaced with sweltering July humidity from outside. Those committing this sin in Texas are often threatened to be tied down atop a fire ant mound. In Toronto, our response was to leave immediately before our party experienced whatever other glaringly stupid decisions the place could inflict. Extra star for warning us before we ordered anything. read more

Extra large (32 oz) beer for 4$ extra over pint (21 oz). Too bad they longer serve blue moon. Service is excellent. They will bring free chips and salsa as you wait for food to be ready. Ambiance is chill with tvs all around to watch the games. Specials for Tuesday: grilled chicken fajitas (one person portion 19.99, two persons portion 29.99). Specials for Wednesday: 85 cents wings!!!! Tip: when ordering fajitas, the wrap and fixings are refillable read more

We have not been here for a while and thought we will try it again . Now I know why! And it has nothing to do with the food which was quite decent! We got seated in the bar area which is ok but there was no real server for us. Constantly looking for someone. Had to beg for chips from the hostess because the server was never around. And then to top it off they "sold" my child a regular size drink for $5.99 instead of the free one that came with my $12.99 meal. So my kids meal is like $20!!! Totally nuts! This topped off a bad experience despite decent food!! read more

Totally excited to go for some fajitas with friends we hadn't seen in forever! Server was initially fine, took our drink orders, and then food orders. When ordering she asked, 'curly fries?' I replied 'normal fries please', she says 'okay, curly fries'. I assumed their normal fries was curly fries. She asked the same thing to everyone. Bill came and curly fries are +$3. WTFFFFFF. SCAM!! (Also, I prefer regular fries because I know curly fries are saltier) Not impressed. And other than taking orders and then, paying...she was no where to be seen. Food is salty, we need water, lady! Listen, I get that it is hard times. I get that nobody wants to be a server. I get that everyone is underpaid. But common. I also work hard for my money to be able to come out and dine in your restaurant. Food was alright, company was amazing, but the service and sketchy bill was a downer. read more

Saturday dinner and the place is poppin I think staff were in training as almost all staff were doubled up, my sympathies to the restaurant business as front line staff are difficult to find and turnover probably disrupts their customer service levels. Front reception staff were slow to acknowledge our entrance/reservations, were going to give us a center table although many booths were still available, once objection was raised they were flexible enough to switch us over to a booth. TV screens on all walls showing various sports giving this restaurant a sports bar type vibe If you're a pickle lover, you must try their salty pickle Margarita, sounds weird but it's delicious Steak Fajitas, meat grilled nicely on top of onions and peppers served on a sizzling platter Chicken enchiladas plentiful.although could have used more salsa/dressing Loved the sizzling apple crumble with caramel sauce for dessert Great dinner, walked away very satisfied read more

I had the pleasure of dining with some former coworkers, my friends. It's been a while since I've seen them, which made this outing special. While waiting for the last of our party to join us, we enjoyed their complimentary fresh-made nachos and salsa - lots of it! We all had Fajitas, two had chicken, two had beef. The meats all arrived on sizzling hot plates and the tortillas were freshly made, in-house. The fresh garnishes and rice were all perfect. Portions were generous and I was the only one to finish my meal. It was delicious! Having not seen each other for a while, we kind of overstayed our welcome. It was starting to get busy with their dinner crowd. Ooops! read more

The strawberry margarita was great, the steak and chicken fajitas were delicious. I would definitely order again.

Oh and all the TV screens are on hockey. read more

That wait we have all been waiting for is over!! When Ontario finally opened up restaurant dining, my friends and I immediately booked a table. Reservations are required for most of the restaurants nowadays and we were extremely lucky to grab a table on the first day that restaurant dining was an option. Each patios were disinfected and cleaned before seating and have some distances between each table. Seating hour was 1.5 hour but they didn't kick us out even though we stayed past that limit. They did warn us that should it started to rain, we would have to pack our food and go since their patio area was not covered unlike some places where they had a plastic covering. Service from our waitress, Trouble (yes, that's what her name is) was great, friendly, and thoughtful as well! Menu remained the same. Food quality still as delicious as always, especially their house made tortilla- STILL THE BEST!!! read more

Was looking for a restaurant that offers a warm patio for the cold covid nights, and happy to found it here! The patio may not appear as warm and cozy as other restaurants' in the area, but it's actually super toasty and warm with radiators above the tables keeping us and your food warm. The service was super friendly, welcoming, and caring. Especially with covid circumstances, I felt very safe and looked after, and staff were all super patient. It's my first time here, and of course I got their famous fajitas. The grilled steak + Buffalo chicken for 2. It comes with a side of rice, guac, sour cream, salsa, cheese, lettuce for you to build your own fajita. The protein comes on a sizzling plate with onions and bell peppers, and 4 tortillas per person in a box to keep them warm. Could definitely tell that the fajitas were freshly made in house and was delicious. Buffalo sauce on the chicken added a nice kick too. Perfect amount of food for 2 people! read more

Came here with my family and was seating right away! To start they provided chips and salsa as a starter which was very tasty.

I would come back for the fajitas as i've had them before and they are extremely delicious. read more

We came here on a Friday night and it was packed! We didn't have a reservation and was told it would be a 1.5 hour wait.. so we told the hostess that's okay, we'll go somewhere else for dinner. She stopped and asked if we are fine with being seated at the bar? We were okay with it. Once seated, it was a 20 minute wait to get our order in. Our servers were also the same staff that are in charge of bartending so they were quite busy. Other patrons sitting nearby also experienced a long wait. We got the orders in and the food arrived not too long after. No complementary nachos this time. For appetizer we shared the pretzel with queso. The pretzel was on the greasy side but the queso sauce was delicious for dipping. For the main I ordered steak fajitas this time, medium rare of course. The toppings were generous with four pieces of tortilla. I like that I got to build each one myself. Ended up with some leftovers from all the food. Taken off a star as the service was slow and infrequent. Otherwise, the food was decent. read more

Came here for a casual celebration and it exceeded expectations. Ordered two fajita especial and it was so much food for four adults and 2 kids and there was plenty. And it was all delicious. And don't forget the margarita, how can you go wrong? It was spacious, service quite attentive, fresh tortillas being produced constantly, and unlimited chips! Yes! Unlimited chips! read more

Excellent dining experience from the minute we were seated. Our hostess was very welcoming. Our waiter was very polite and warm. He enjoys his job as he was smiling and cordial.

Horrible! We chose this place based on so many great reviews on Google. HOW!!!!! The food was bland and horrible. Everything we ordered tasted the same. No distinct flavours. Mushy textures and underdone rice. We are very disappointed. Service was good. The place is very loud due to the loud music and people talking in close proximity. A total fail. We will never return. We are also convinced most of the stellar Google reviews are fake. Skip this place and go to Jack Astors instead. Same price point and much better quality food. read more

I've been going to Lone Star Texas Grill for a long time. Originally I tried it first at their old location in Richmond Hill at Yonge and 16th Avenue. The food has always been amazing. The staff and the atmosphere is always great. On a busy weekend night the game is usually on, country music pumping. The staff are always friendly. I like the steak fajitas the best. Tender grilled seasoned steak on a bed of onions and a hot skillet. Freshly made tortillas, side dish of lettuce, cheese, pico, sour cream, Mexican rice and don't get me started on their home made salsa. Yeeee haw!! I love it now they have a self serve salsa (say that fast 5 times ... self serve salsa) and chips bar. At one time they would charge for chips and salsa after the one free serving. I tried quite a few items on their menu. From fajitas, wings, big rig burrito, tacos and quesadillas. All amazing. Anyways it's a great spot for dinner and lunch with friends and family. read more

We just visited this restaurant while in Toronto. We lived in Texas for 6 years and was wondering what the menu was. Came to find out the menu is very limited, fajita, chicken wings; no BBQ, no smoke meat. We ordered a "dos" fajita (for 2). The beef and chicken were tender and well cooked, however the shredded cheese seemed to have been sitting around for awhile; the tortillas were scratched made but too thick. Overall an OK meal but not up to par. read more

Parking here is a hasssssssllleeeee as usual, with so many restaurants all concentrated in one area... you'll find yourself circling round and round and round again. The Lone Star on Yonge closed and re-opened here - I def think this is a better location for them, it's much more central and busy. Ordered the chicken fajitas... the veg and chicken are served on a hot plate, but really the chicken totally lacked any flavour. I really liked how you could choose lettuce wraps instead for a healthier low-carb option. Our waitress still gave us the tortilla wraps tho (mistake? idk whatever, i'll take it LOL) - and they were actually really good! They're served warm and they're nice and chewy. The toppings/condiments that are served with the faijitas were totally disappointing. Rice was hard and cold, cheese was fake a f, lettuce was wilty, and pico de gallo was mehh. The chimichanga was good! But it was a pretty small serving for the price... It's literally just a deep-fried burrito for over $15. The lil Steak Skewers were alright. Pretty decent amount of meat and tender too. Veggies were cold though. Service was alright here! We received our food at a decent time. Don't think I'd be returning here for dinner, but their lunch deals seem worth it! FYI... only your first basket of nachos are complementary! read more

Now that restaurants are allowing dine-in I was very excited to go back to Lone Star! They're doing a good job with social distancing protocols. You have the option to eat on the patio or stay inside. It wasn't very busy which made it easy to respect everyone's space. As always? The food was great! They're using paper menus that are a smaller version of the normal one. Unfortunately they don't have the beyond meat option right now so I opted for the veggie fajitas. I was surprised by how much broccoli you get which was great! read more

I've been to a Lone Star location years ago and it wasn't good so it was a one time thing. Yesterday, while I was at this Hwy7/Leslie plaza, thought i'd try this new lone star located right across from The Keg, where the old Boston Pizza used to be. The place isn't that big, but good in size, wide open so could be good for groups.. Started off good, got seated at a booth, host was friendly and gave us a little brief about the business and stuff since they only been open for a couple of months. Our server came to the table, he was wayyyy too friendly, more than a normal acceptable doze of "friendliness" before crossing the line fo be too pushy and personal! He has a loud tone of voice and kept crossing the line few times, saying things in a try of an up-sell, which is appreciated and worked few times so that's a good plus for this server. However, when you hear him saying the exact wording, exact tone, exact script to the three tables next to you..your opinion of this 'customer service' just drops to the bottom! They brought in chips and salsa on the house, I ordered chicken wings appetizer, that never came to the table till after mains started coming in (45 minutes later or so)! No apologies were reported! I had to ask for water three times and only came the third time after I finished my main! We ordered a combo fajita, which was good but too small of a portion for $20+ The burger was alright, nothing to report there...same with the wings..onion rings were a waste! There was a lady, who seemed to be in charge, she was running around trying to patch things around and fix what's being done... The place have some potential, BUT with some authentic menu like this, with the killer competition you have around at that plaza, food quality must be enhanced through the roof! And no one uses pre-scripted service anymore! That was a huge turn-off! read more

This was close by to the hotel I was staying in. After viewing the menu, I was really craving the taco salad, as I haven't had one is ages. I went in close to 5pm, and it was pretty empty. Took a seat at the bar and a young guy took my order right away. He was really trying to push this expensive Corona beer, that would also get you entered in to a contest. In the grand scheme of things, I wish he would have pushed the restaurant's rewards program, as you get free chips and salsa. I didn't know about it until halfway through my meal. So, I missed out on free chips and salsa. Anyway, I already had my mind set on a flight of margarita's, called the Three Amigos. I ordered the strawberry, mango and raspberry. These were very sweet. Could hardly taste the alcohol. Probably would get them again. Now, on to the taco salad. I was craving one with ground beef, but I didn't want the rice, and preferred the lettuce instead. So, I asked for the Santa Fe, but with ground beef. They were able to do that and it hit the spot. I think I was just really craving the tortilla shell. And, it hit the spot. Had the perfect amount of every ingredient. I was a happy camper. Would I go back? Probably. read more

Great food and even better service at the new Richmond Hill location. This is our third time visiting this location as a family and it always comes through with quality and tasty food. The rib steak and Fajitas are great. The fiesta also comes with a cheese queso. Yummy. If you run out of the side boats and tortilla shells they replace them for free. Just not the proteins :-) we usually have leftovers to take home. read more

I have been to this Lone Star Texas Grill for 2 times now. Wait time for food is not as bad as the other posts mentioned. But you have to make a reservation and go early (like 5:30pm or 6pm). It starts to get busy after 6:30pm and then you will have to wait a longer time for food. And parking is crazy after 6pm. Food is great. Love that they give you unlimited refills on toppings for your fajitas (ie: cheese, lettuces, and even rice) The protein portion for the fajitas is not so much but it fills you up with toppings and unlimited tortillas. Ambient is good. Casual. Service is good. Our server is friendly. Will return again. read more

We have ordered from this restaurant at least three times. All three times an item was left out of the order and when I called the restaurant nothing was done. Lat night we put in an order through Skip The Dishes at 4:15. It was to be delivered at 6:30 - 7:00. At 6:58 the order was cancelled. We contacted Skip The Dishes and they said the restaurant said the order couldn't be filled. As you can imagine we were furious. When we were in the restaurant in the past, the service was very slow and they said they were short on kitchen staff. We will never frequent this restaurant or order from them again. read more

Stay away. If I could give it 0 stars I would. We were told it would be a 5 minute wait. There was no one in front of us when we walked in. Was told they were wiping down our table. Fifteen minutes later and four other parties sat they got around to sitting us...after I reminded them. So we sat....and sat....and sat for 20 minutes. No one said hello or made eye contact. So I went up to the hostess stand and asked them to send over our server as we had been there for 20 minutes with no one stopping by. She said she would tell her manager. Her manager was walking by and asked if we had been waited in yet which we replied no to. She said she would drop off the menus in her hand and be right back. After waiting another 5 minutes (we were sitting 2 booths from where the hostess stand was and the menu basket) we decided to leave...with no service at all after asking the hostess and manager for help. Upon leaving the manager was coming out of the kitchen speaking to a waitress. Funny how I thought she was going to drop off menus and be right back to get our order. That's the kicker, we were told that the person who should be making sure the customers are happy failed to take action when she knew and confirmed that we were being ignored, and continued to ignore us. Thirty minutes total and not even offered drinks. read more

I'm not a huge fan of Tex Mex, but I thought I'd give Lone Star a try. First time eating a chimichanga and I am so glad I've ordered it. The Chicken Chimichanga was huge and tasty! It was fully loaded. It was probably enough to feed 2 people or maybe I was simply full from eating the addictive chips and salsa we were given upon seating. I only managed to eat half of my meal and had to pack the rest to go. On a side note, my friend ordered the steak fajita and thought the meat was a bit too tough, chewy and dry. She didn't recommend the steak but she said chicken would of been a better choice when it came to fajitas. read more

My first initial impression of lone star was pretty average. When I walked in the place it was fairly empty even though the parking lot was full. The complex in general is probably one of the busiest ones you can visit in Thornhill/Markham area. It is impossible to find parking on even weekdays. From my quick glance of the menu, it seem to be strictly bar food/meals. I ordered the quesadillas and they were ok - they tasted kind of bland. I do generally like a bit of "kick" to my food so I added some hot sauce and it tasted a lot better. I ended up also ordering a sangria with my meal and I wasn't too pleased with it. It was very diluted with juice and ended up tasting more like fruit punch. Our waiter for the night was very active with our table in the beginning but slowly would disappear at the end so it was hard to order something else or simply get the bill. Overall, I would say this restaurant is ok but not good enough for me to want to come back. read more
