    Boursin Toast
    Santanu S.

    After a few years, I decided to give this restaurant another chance. When I arrived sometime after 8:30am, a skeleton crew of one cashier/hostess, one waitress/manager and one server were on staff. After 9am, the rest of the waitstaff arrived. After the hostess served my coffee, my waitress came by to take my order. By the time the Boursin Toast arrived, I had finished my coffee. My waitress had not checked on me until my plate was half empty. As a result, my coffee mug had been empty for a long time. Unlike other nearby tables, I was not given water. On a side note, after the remaining staff arrived, the server went table to table with a coffee pot to fill the mugs. The Boursin Toast was okay. The sourdough toast was lightly toasted, so it was soft rather than firm. The scrambled eggs were brownish and overcooked. On the plus side, there was sufficient amount of the Boursin cheese on the toast. When it was time to pay the check, there was a significant wait. The newly arrived waitstaff had not started waiting on the tables. My waitress was taking other orders before she handed my credit card to the cashier/hostess. The cashier initially gave my card and credit slip to another table, one far from mine. Fortunately, the customer did not accept the credit card. Afterwards, the cashier returned to the Point of Sale system before returning the card correctly to me.

    Big plate but not the food proportions for the size of plate. This is you average breakfast place and I mean average but pricy for what you get. Looks to be run by a loud lady and her children seat you after waiting and when you walk in and there are empty tables and they say that their iPad is slow. I ask myself what does that have to do with being seated when you see several tables that are open and cleaned. Sat up at the front door for 20 to 25 minutes with the buzzer in my hand and then eventually was called to come in to sit at a table for two yes, the ambience of this place is decent and nice and clean. Looks like a lot of the core that you could pick up at your local hobby shop though just like you would make your home look nice. Don't imagine I'll be back when there's other cafés that are identical to the same food servings and semi service. Come on $7.50 for two coffees REALLY!!

    Very Berry Waffle

    This place is so cozy! I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere (kind of felt like a cozy cabin). The server and host were super kind! I got the very berry waffle and it was yummy and good priced!

    If you want a hearty breakfast, this is the spot! It has the feel of an old school country diner with the menu to match! The waiter was really nice, attentive, and didn't miss a beat. He continuously came by to make sure our coffee mugs were full and that we didn't need anything else. Disclaimer: Come hungry because the portions are insane!

    Eggs Benedict with chorizo!

    WOW!! The food was hot and delicious! Service was fast. Clean restaurant. Will be back. Yum!

    Grits, fruit and bacon

    The customer service was amazing! Everyone was so nice from hostess to waitress. The food was such a surprise! So exceptional! I'm from the south and those were the best grits I've ever had, no exaggeration. Also, I got an egg white veggie omelette that was truly exceptional, literally on par with $70 plate restaurants, there is no picture because it was gone SO fast! Great portions, fresh hot coffee with refills. Very affordable pricing. Will absolutely be back! So happy to have found this place!!

    Chicken and waffle

    So many things went wrong during our visit to Lone Star cafe. I'm between a zero and 1 star rating based on service, kitchen prep, comfort, enjoyment and food taste. First, I called Lone Star on a Saturday morning and asked how long of wait would a party of 6 be for breakfast, I was told "no wait, we can seat you right away" I replied "great, my party of 6 will be there in 5 minutes." About 6 minutes later we arrived with other groups already waiting and were told the wait time was 15 minutes. I asked one of the patrons waiting how long he'd been there ( wondering if three groups just happened to walk in the last 5 minutes and the guest told me 10 minutes meaning- I was not given accurate information on the phone. We waited the 15 minutes and were seated, and it was all downhill from there. It took a while for anyone to come to our table, by the time the server arrived for our drink order we were ready for our food order as well. The drinks did come out quickly but the coffee was cold- not even room temp- COLD so we to ask for hot coffee and creamer. The hot coffee did return with an apology but we still had to ask for creamer again and there was not a coffee refill offered. Food arrives and pancakes are delivered without butter or syrup so we had to wait again for those to be dropped off. The waffle we ordered (ordered plain with zero toppings to include no powdered sugar), was delivered with sugar and whipped cream so we had to send that back and wait for the plain waffle we ordered. Waffles are in the cute shape of Texas but around Austin was raw batter- gross. The skillets were cooked fine but lacked flavor and portion size is small. I had the patty melt with fries and as you can see in the picture the frozen to table fries are literally a handful, they might as well line them in a single row next time. Additionally, there were mushrooms in this burger where the menu did not list mushrooms. People have anaphylactic allergies so adding things like mushrooms are potentially very dangerous for folks, I don't understand how this restaurant not only doesn't complete an order as requested, given my waffle example, but then adds ingredients not listed in the menu. The last item I'll mention is the bathroom, there was always a line for ladies room to include the employees that need the same facility. Recommend making these two single seat bathrooms into gender neutral to alleviate the lines and help the employees from long waits so they can get back to their tables. Also recommend honesty for patrons that call in advance, misleading people isn't a good business practice. For the servers, consider using patron waiting times to drop butter/ syrup and look for steam or the feel of a warm cup before delivering hot beverages and leave some of packaged creamer on the table if you don't have the time or organization to accommodate customer needs. Also, the old toothpick trick works just fine on checking if waffles are cooked before serving to paying customers and the kitchen needs to play close attention to what the menu ingredients are, and what the customer order is. We paid about $90 before tip for a frustrating and unfulfilling meal, I would not recommend for food, service, atmosphere or anything in-between.

    Tuna Melt
    Ricardo J.

    We came here for the first time on 7/28/23 after many, many times of saying "we should try that place." There were a lot of menu options from the pics here that sounded really good. I had the tuna melt with a side salad, and my lady had the grilled ham and cheese sandwich with fries. My salad came out first and wasn't too bad. The balsamic vinaigrette was delicious. The grilled ham and cheese with fries came out next. The fries were good and hot. Despite being advertised as coming with "aged cheddar," however, the sandwich clearly came with American cheese. There is a time and a place for Kraft cheese, but not when cheddar is on the menu. Also, the grilled ham and cheese was a tad on the greasy side. My tuna melt, which had been forgotten until it was asked for again, also came with American cheese and not cheddar. The tuna salad flavor was excellent, though, and the sandwich was not as greasy. All in all, the food wasn't bad and the service was super attentive. We may come back again as they seemed to be having an off day between the staff communication and the food prep. It will be a minute, though.

I made a mobile order and swung by on my way to the airport. When I walked in, it wasn't in their mobile order stand and there was no one at the counter. I waited a short time for someone to come from the back, and my sandwich was ready, but sitting packed up, behind the counter. Why have a mobile order pickup area of you don't use it? I ordered the turkey bacon avocado. It is a bit cheaper from the other chain sub shop in Grapevine, and I was interested to see how they matched up. First off, they added my pickles. I like pickles and it can slip past people's attention, as it is not a standard topping. The bread was soft and the sandwich was a good size. The bacon was nice and crispy, but I found the filling a little skimpy. The turkey was completely lost. The strongest flavors were provelone and bacon, but it is essentially a turkey sandwich. There just wasn't much of it. Nor the veg. Lettuce and tomato were just barely present. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't GOOD. Long gone are the days of $5 foot longs, but I do expect more for an $11 seven and a half inch...

Generous spread of avocado on just right textured brown bread-not too thick or thin-or soggy-could handle the toppings.the bacon was crispy and crumbled over the avocado. The eggs-medium-perfect!!! It was served with a small arugula and cherry tomato salad!! YUM!! One friend had the lemon ricotta pancakes which were not as tasty as she expected. The la Parisian breakfast-scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, and a huge croissant was delish. Large Bacon slices and nicely scrambled eggs-very nice. The mimosas were generous and served with a strawberry garnish-we had the pomegranate. Very refreshing and did I mention generous!! The coffee was replenished without prompting.

My husband's coffee, the saddle, nice, mild, not too strong, not too sweet, proper iced latte. On the other hand i ordered a cappuccino, basic, easy, shot of espresso and shot of steamed milk.

I asked my husband to check to make sure i am not out of line. He agreed with me. It was 12oz coffee with a splash of milk. None of that would be an issue but when i asked the barista/employee to remake it I was met with so much unnecessary attitude, that it repelled me to ever come back. I was told "I told you it has less foam with almond milk, that is literally not a drip coffee, it's from the espresso machine". I was stunned, not by the words but by the tone. I just walked away, not worth the time and effort to explain (from the photo you can see the color of my "cappuccino"). Overall: good food, great bread, coffee 50/50. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/ service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not the stars reflect that.
