Been waiting a very long time to visit The lone Star, and finally we did after a very long few months! Was told beforehand the portion sizes are big, which I thought that’ll do me. We ordered the brisket/burnt ends nachos. We was surprised at the size of the beef portions and presumed our burgers would be massive as well. The beef on the nachos in the bbq sauce was amazing and the burnt ends even better! Now, I had the chicken & beef burger, with American style dirty fries. Don’t know if the picture does any justice, but the burger was massive. It’s the best onion ring I’ve ever tried. The southern fried chicken is absolutely spot on and the beef patty was a nice thick piece. Unfortunately, I struggled to eat the last few pieces of beef and probably about 1/4 of the chips. But I will definitely be coming back for round two!! Usual social distancing in place, with staff wearing masks. And as you walk upstairs, a simple track & trace QR code which you take a photo of to enter your details makes it even easier. Was told of a slight delay with food coming out but it was a usual time you’d expect for a busy restaurant. Only issue I had, was that the table was very wobbly but we managed. Highly recommend this place just make sure you’ve got a massive appetite lol!

Went last night, staff were great and the food was amazing. We had, starters - - Buffalo Chicken wings - Jalapeno poppers The chicken wings were very tasty, I like spicy food, these had a 4 out of 5 chilli rating but I wouldn't say they were spicy. The wifey loved the jalapeno poppers, I didnt try them but she said they were amazing. The portions are massive, next time I'd definitely share between two as I could barely touch the sides of my main. Mains - - T bone steak M/R, dirty fries and side of prawns - Pulled pork fajitas The steak is probably the best I've had, cooked and seasoned perfectly. Decent size, the chips and prawns I nibbled because of being full from the starter! The wifey loved the P/P fajitas, again because it was so nice she ate too much!!!! Everything was obviously fresh, including the salads. For drinks, I stuck with pints of lager, the wife had a prosecco, followed by a berry spritz... She liked both!

We went to the lone star in Buxton on a Saturday afternoon for a lunch during a day trip in Buxton. The restaurant is relatively easy to find and is located on the first floor of a building relatively close to the opera house. The decoration is a slightly dated (guns on the walls, really?) While the music was essentially the same 10 songs looping. Service was somewhat slow, 25 minutes to starters and around 40 minutes to mains. Pricing was moderate (around £7 for starter and £13-14 for mains). We had the calamari and mushroom for starter which were fantastic, followed by the new York chicken and hot n spicy chicken. The food was okay, nothing spectacular, I found the chicken a dry. On the bright side, the mains portions were extremely generous, had to box up the leftovers for our dinner. The dessert was absolutely fantastic and we would recommend the apple pie.

We went on a Thursday evening in half term and were lucky to be seated as we hadn’t booked, so this is highly recommended as you don’t want to miss the great food. I had the cowboy burger which was cooked perfectly and my wife had the ribs and a side of fries (and even though this was a starter there was plenty for it to be a main with the fries as the side). Our boys both had the chicken tenders and fries and they were the best ever - “godly” was one term used to describe them. Desserts were also extremely good, I had the biscoff waffle, and we also had a portion of the churros and the boys shared the cookie dough and ice cream. With a few drinks we paid around £80. Although card payment was accepted there was no option to leave a tip using card.

We were sitting in the Lone star one Saturday evening before a show and was only one of three couples sitting there. Within an hour the place was heaving and we were so pleased we had booked a table. The restaurant sits above the local tap house and has its own amazing staircase leading up to it. In fact they may be quite steep for some people . It's a Lovely looking place that's serves excellent food with exceptional service.The girls do work incredibly hard. You do need a gd appetite though. We were so relaxed that eventually they had to turfe us out because they needed the table. Will definitely return, nxt time we visit Buxton.
