Lone Star Cafe & Bar Hamilton — Restaurant in North Island

It was ok, not fantastic

Service was good, even though we had a trainee, she was attentive and remembered a repeat drink order first time!

Bread was average, but like what I remember a year or so ago when I was there last time. Bread was pre buttered this time, last time it was on a side board. I liked it much better last time

Ordered multiple steaks amongst our group. 250g steak had a bit of fat but was fairly stringy, didn't seem like a premium cut

The 300g steak was similar, not as stringy though and less fat. I would rate the steak as average quality. I expected better for the price of $39.95

Beer was $9, served in a glass which seemed a little smaller than typical servings in Australia

Chips did but seen overly fresh, chunky style but there was not many, perhaps about 12 in total

Coleslaw was nice and plenty of it

Chucky mushroom sauce was tasty, full flavored but I counted about 3 mushroom chunks in total

Spent a fraction short of $200 for 4 adults, which included 2 beers and 4 soft drinks. I consider this quite expensive for what was a nice break but nothing really outstanding

The best part of the meal was the apprentice girl who remembered my repeat beer order first go and who was polite and engaging

Over the years when I've visited I have noticed a reduction of value and a slight reduction of quality, this visit was the same. I think next time I will give another...

We were here over the weekend for an event at the stadium and we decided to go out for dinner. I'm a big fan of Lone Star and my favourite Lone Star Restaurant is in Rotorua. We walked in it was absolutely full, we hesitated at first because we knew there may be a wait. Asked for a table for 3 and the hostess seated us straight away. They seated us away from everyone else which was a plus. Our waitress Chloe (hope I spelt your name correctly) amazing service all the way through and very efficient. Service was quick for a busy Saturday night. Service was quick. Food absolutely tasty, hot and mine and hubby's steak grilled perfectly. First time in 2 years I've had dinner out where my steak was cooked exactly how I wanted it. Best milky bar pudding I've had at lonestar and my son absolutely loved the salted caramel ice-cream. We'll definitely be back here next time we come through. Keep up the great work I may have to change my mind about Rotorua Lone Star. ☺️ Thank you...

My wife and I visited the restaurant not long ago,

We would highly recommend the Prawn Star dish. The flavours are perfect. Very delicious. 5/5

The Rockin’ Ribeye that I ordered (medium) was dry... hard and chewy. I ordered garlic butter steak thinking that the steak would be cooked in said garlic butter. However, to my surprise the dish is delivered to you - The steak, and sitting there next it is a big plonk of garlic butter. (Like the same plonk they give you to butter your bread if you ask for it). The meat was average at best. Big chunk of hard dry steak is never good. Unsatisfactory. The coleslaw isn’t much better either. Best part of the dish were the chips. Not a good dish. would not recommend buying this dish. 1/5.

Overall 3/5 Ambience is welcoming Price: medium/high Weight for food: Long (The place was not over capacity or crowded at the time...
