Orders were incorrect. I never did get my drink and then we were overcharged on the bill. This was a Saturday night and I appreciate they were busy but that should not affect the customer. I was in the same lonestar on the previous Wednesday and spent five hundred dollars and it was worth every penny. Moral of the story, go midweek

Lonestar were awesome, great service and food. They also accommodated our request for extra table for trophies for a prizegiving and also allowed us to pay separate for a big table, the other restaurants I called said set menu only, Lonestar was excellent, highly recommend.

We came as a large group for dinner. Great food, huge servings. It was lovely and warm, we sat out on the covered patio. The staff were fantastic, great with the kids and very welcoming. Food came out fairly quickly and all at once, which was impressive for such a large group.

The food was amazing but the real reason I m writing a review was the excellent service we received from Sophie! From the minute we were seated she made us feel at home and made our visit special by checking on us regularly and making us feel like old friends rather than just another group of customers. Would visit again because of her service alone, thanks for a great night :)

No vegan options. Asked for the vegetables and mushrooms. Received a few strands of brocolini, a few rounds of courgette & a lot of mint peas. All with no seasoning at all. Also given aioli containing egg after telling the wait staff no dairy or egg. Very poor & unimaginative

Great dinner the other night! Friendly and enthusiastic service. Wait staff were great with the kids. Mojito was very refreshing and the craft beers were a great recommendation. Earnt a $20 voucher with the app and got a free dessert. Thanks again!

A little disappointed this time. The quality seems to have dropped off. Generally I'm a big fan of lone star, big meals, great desserts but this time everything other than the garlic bread was just a little average. Can't fault the wait staff however., very attentive

One of the longest wait times I've had and it wasn't even a busy night (Maximum of 3 other tables were filled) Their only saving grace is that the food was really good and the staff were super apologetic for the waiting time.

I used to be a regular patron and major proponent of the Loan Star franchise but the current poor food and drink standard is a huge disappointment. Staff did their best, but someone is cutting corners on quality here, and it really shows. Ownership and Management at Albany, do something to uplift your standards, when we complained the waiter wasn't even surprised, a terrible sign. I'm just one of many, pay attention and change something.

I enjoy the ambiance and decor. I didn't enjoy the bloody Mary's that arrived with drooping expired garnish . They had no pepper in them too. But the staff did go out of their way to make us a new one which was slightly better and offered us dessert which we appreciated. We dont have a sweet tooth so politely declined. Looking forward to going back and hopefully try some steak
