Lone Star Riccarton - Governors Bay

One of our family favourites. <br/ We always enjoy the service and the food, and you get a big feed for the money.<br/ <br/ We have to admit, we always struggle to not choose the ribs. Portions are huge and 6 is more than enough for most adults, 9 if you want a challenge, and 12 if you want leftovers to take home!<br/ <br/ The restaurant is always popular so with kids in tow, it pays to get there early. We always aim for just after 5:30pm and will be seated and ordering food before 6pm. <br/ <br/ If you make use of their rewards programme it’s easy to save $15-20 per visit. Our last meal for 3 adults and 1 child came to just over $100 with a $15 discount. 3 mains, 1 kids meal, 3 drinks.<br/ <br/ If you stick to their popular dishes you’ll definitely won’t be leaving hungry!<br/ <br/ <br/

Been here about a few times now to say that this place is more than sufficient to fulfill your gastronomical needs. <br/ <br/ A tad bit expensive, but they don't fail to provide you with quality meals and proper service except on unusually busy days. The restaurant has a Texan decor as the name suggests and provides more of the western style American old school cuisine for us to cherish. <br/ <br/ Some of their best dishes that I have tried so far and would definitely recommend to you all are:<br/ 1. Shanks Peninsula<br/ 2. Dixie Chicken<br/ 3. Running Bear Salmon<br/ 4. Johnny Cash Stash <br/ <br/ These four dishes remain my favorite so far although I haven't tried them all as of yet. As a university student lone star is a place I can usually go once in a while but whenever I do they never fail to satisfy my hunger! <br/

When I came to CHC from AKL, I always look forward to a restaurant that has the tasty steak.Well, after tasting, it's just not very attractive.And the price for two people is at least $100 to reduce the hunger. A little bit too expensive.

Love the staff here! The chick with all the tattoos is so nice !! She was super assertive and friendly. I went to a birthday party here in the West Wing and they were super nice to me cause I was sober driving. Dixie chicken is my favourite meal here !!

I like Lone Star when I am travelling as it is a good restaurant to go to if you are on your own. There is always plenty of action and you don't feel out of place sitting on your own in a booth.<br/ <br/ The beer is always cold, the service good and the food consistent. For me it is always the Johnny Cash Stash.<br/ <br/ A great standby when you want to know what you are going to get.
