Missing Beans, Empty Glasses... But They Asked About the Tip…read more Stopped by Lone Star Ancaster around 6:20 pm on a Monday before a concert. The restaurant was almost empty. To be fair, the food itself was good. The chicken fajitas were tasty. We also ordered the queso, which tasted like melted Cheese Whiz. They were also prompt enough to bring extra salsa for the chips when asked. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the food. Our fajitas arrived without the saddle beans, which we mentioned right away. The bartender said she'd put the order in. After TEN minutes and still no beans, my fajita was getting cold, so I just ate it without them. Meanwhile, no one refilled our water once, and no one checked on us at all after the food arrived, despite the restaurant being nearly empty. When my husband asked again about the beans, the bartender told us they were probably just reheating them and added, "I'm just the bartender." No apology, no effort to check. The real surprise came when we paid. Because of the service, my husband chose not to tip, and the bartender actually had the GALL to ask him why he hadn't tipped?! Besides, I thought she was "just the bartender!" When the manager came over, he seemed oddly confused that empty water glasses might matter, saying something along the lines of "Oh, I guess not refilling the glasses is important." The only thing that seemed to get his attention was when we repeated the bartender's "I'm just the bartender" comment, which is when he mustered the offer of free dessert. At that point we were already late for our concert and just wanted to leave. Good fajitas. Cheese-Whiz queso. Missing beans. Empty water glasses. No service check-ins. And apparently questions about your tip if the service isn't great. Next time we want fajitas, we'll go somewhere that remembers the beans, refills the water ... and doesn't interrogate customers about tipping.

A great experience for dinner here today. We arrived at 5:00 and the place wasn't busy at all (a…read moreWednesday). They sat us at a table near the front window like we had asked. It was a bit cold in the restaurant but it warmed up a bit after we ate. The place is nice inside, having a rustic decor. We sat in the area where the bar was, at a booth, which was nice. Our server Nicky (call name Moonshine) was super friendly and happily told us about the different sidekicks for the fajita fest for two that we ordered ($44). We had the jalapeño relish and guacamole which were both tasty add one for fajitas. We had the chips, salsa, and queso to start. The queso was warm with just a tiny bit of spice, perfect! The chips were good, but too many small pieces, and there weren't enough on the plate shared with the bowl of queso. We had to wait about 30 minutes for our entree , which seemed long considering the place wasn't that busy. The fajita fest entree included shrimp, chicken, steak, peppers, and onions, and about half a rack of ribs. They give you a side plate of lettuce, sour cream, salsa, and a bowl of rice. I had to ask for more lettuce as I like a good amount in my fajita. Everything tasted really good. The steak, chicken, and shrimp were grilled nicely. The ribs were fall off the bone type. We only ate half of the feast and we were stuffed! Nicky provided us with a box and foil lined bag for the leftovers. Next time I need to order something smaller so I can try one of their desserts! We will be back!

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!

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.

Chicken fajitas for two please. Compared to jacks, pricing a little more expensive. We had to ask for additional "fixings" as what was served was a little thin in portions except the cheese. Amount of chicken and peppers etc was perfect. Service friendly, however not up to jacks. Little things like do they keep your soft drink glass full without having to wave them down didn't happen. Place was not overly busy but server always had to be waved down if required. If the server was a more attentive and the "fixins" a little more generous I would have been inclined more to a 4. But with, at least this server which I know can be a one off, little thin on some portions, and pricing higher than jacks, I'm sticking to a three. The interior was nicely decorated and looked clean.

If you go to a Lonestar, it is probably for fajitas as you really can't go wrong. The filling comes out on a hot plate but the chicken is always only warm, probably because it is so thinly sliced. On this particular visit though, I got the beef brisket tacos. It was a nice change from the usual and the beef came with a sweet bbq sauce. The tacos were good, but nothing special. Kind of random, but I really enjoyed the churros. Maybe this was simply because it is both deep fried and sweet, but I thought they were well done.
