Lone Star Texas Grill - Toronto

While Lone Star may be a franchise, the food at this restaurant is quite good with a variety of crowd-pleasing menu options.

After being ignored for 45 minutes at The Pint Public House, we decided to try this restaurant. The hostess informed us that they were closing in 10 minutes.

From the outside, the restaurant appeared closed. The server had poor hygiene and a strong body odor. My friends were served their pitcher with dirty glasses.

When the Lone Star was on Front Street it had atmosphere, and was accessible. Now that it is on King, it's not accessible (especially if you are visual or physically handicapped), and has absolutely no atmposphere. I'm not sure if there has been a change in ownership, but the bar is a disgrace. Bottles are standing on cheap bricks, and it smells horrible. It was supposed to be Tex-Mex, but now they don't play country at all, and the food portions are hardly Texas Sized. I feel for the staff, they try and do a good job, but that patio is almost always closed, the portions are poor and the regular staff have all left for bigger and I'm guessing better venues. The place was once a 'must go', no its a 'definate no'. I give this place 3 months.

We were in the mood for beef and were not disappointed. The menu is extensive. It has non-beef choices as well. Though busy we were not ignored by our server.
