    The children would rather talk they're heads of the tend tables
    Ken M.

    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!!

    Lone Star Café - Grapevine Located on Main Street, Grapevine off Hwy 114. About, 10-15 years ago it used to be a Braums Ice Cream store. The food is consistently delicious with good portions. Quality is great too. Staff are friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is great too. I would definitely recommend it.

    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.

    Eggs Benedict with chorizo!

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

    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!

    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!!

    Classic American Breakfast

    We went here for breakfast as we were visiting grapevine. The breakfast was amazing. Classic eggs with sausage and hashbrowns with white gravy. 10/10! Very affordable and amazing service. The sweet waitress even cleaned up after my daughter who spilt her water. We will definitely be visiting here again. Loved the Christmas vibe as well!

    Chicken and waffle
    Kelley K.

    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.

    Classic American Breakfast

    We stopped in for brunch. It was in the area and we wanted to try something new and not chain. Service was awesome. The food was just that...... 3 adults, 2 beverages = $48 not including fee to use our debit card or the tip.

    I discovered Lone Star Cafe about a month ago when a business colleague suggested we meet there for breakfast. I enjoyed the place so much that I recently invited a friend and her two-year-old daughter to have breakfast there, as well. The menu is your typical diner fare, with good portion sizes and fresh ingredients. Not fancy, by any stretch, but tasty and filling. What sets Lone Star Cafe apart, however, are the new owners, a sweet couple originally from Korea who are passionate about the restaurant and making guests feel welcome. The husband (I think his name is Daniel) came by our table on my first visit and asked for our honest opinion about the food and service. We chatted with him for several minutes and learned that purchasing the cafe truly was a dream come true for him and something he had worked toward for a long time. On my most recent visit, his wife came by our table a couple times to check on us (even though the server was doing a great job), and when my friend's young daughter started to get fussy, Daniel brought her a lollipop. (How sweet is that?) I'm all about supporting privately owned eateries instead of the big chains, so next time you're looking for a hearty diner breakfast, give Lone Star Cafe a try.

While other servers seemed more focused on socializing with regulars than doing their jobs, Taylor stood out immediately.

My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (5 Stars if you only care about service) Atmosphere - It's pretty electric. There is a large bar in the middle, tons of bar seating, and during my Thursday visit for lunch, it was packed. The vibes are good, and tons of TVs are showing sports. If you have an XY chromosome, this is your place. 1 Star. Service - Rowdy Cowboy is known for having great servers who are very friendly (and nice to look at). All tables were taken, so I sat at the bar. The bartenders were fast, efficient, and very friendly. They got my order wrong, but I don't care. Their friendliness made me not care. 1 Star. Food - Look, if you're here, you're not here for the food. I started with the Steak Frites. The steak was super tender but lacked seasoning. The shoestring fries were awesome and made the perfect pairing to the steak. I ordered the Brisket Sliders but ended up with Wagyu Sliders. I didn't mind because our bartenders were so friendly, but the sliders were just ok. Remember, this place is not known for the food. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Rowdy Cowboy knows exactly what it does well, and believe me it does it well. In fact, out of all the restaurants in this genre, Rowdy Cowboy has the friendliest staff. Yes, I will be back. 1 Star.
