    Dining Room
    Ruslan W.

    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.

    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
    Brooke A.

    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.

    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!

The outdoor patio where they had a live band would have been a good place to sit, but that 100° heat is a little much for this Minnesota blood.

The sandwich was a bit on the disappointing side as the meat seemed a bit on the older side, and very little BBQ sauce. Our waiter was AMAZING, but he was soooooo busy with large groups I didn't trouble him for a side of BBQ. However, the bread pudding totally made up for the sandwich. That was a delicious way to end the experience. I'm sure we'll be back next time I'm at DFW.

It was a great way to kick off our lunch. It just hit lunch time, so the restaurant wasn't too busy and we decided to take a seat at the bar for our meal. The restuarant is beautiful, great decor, very bright yet great seating for small or large parties. It looked like there was private dining also available! As we perused the menu, we were greeted promptly by our bartender, who's name is slipping my mind, he was such a sweet guy! He gave us some excellent food and drink recommendations. The one drink I went with that he recommended was their 21-day pineapple infused vodka martini. Shaken beautifully and poured into an ice cold martini glass and dressed with a fresh pineapple wedge. It was nice, crisp, cold, and delightfully fresh! For the food, I was originally thinking a burger, bc it's a smokehouse, and that's what they specialize in, over the fire cooking, but his recommendation on the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich sounded too good to pass up, and in fact, had a missed it, I'd be missing out!!! The sandwich was huge, and after the camera eating first, I took my first big bite, and it was so flavorful. The chicken was hot, crunchy, sweet, with a little spice, crisp pickles, cheese melted as I took each bite. Just a great burst of flavors. The fries I liked very much, and now thinking back on it, should've ordered a side of the sauce they had on the sandwich to dip those fries in. My sister order the 1/2 ribs, which she says were really good, along with a side of au gratin potatoes, that looked like they came from someone's moms kitchen! She left nothing on that plate!!! This was a great first impression of the restuarant, and I look forward to trying them again, something that can be kissed by that flame!

We truly appreciated his professionalism and kindness, as well as his decision to remove the steak from our bill. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and inviting. Despite the delay, the excellent hospitality and genuine care from the staff made for a positive dining experience. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

I had…read moreheard several people talking about Mi Dia From Scratch, so I decided it was finally time to see what all the buzz was about. I arrived during the lunch rush, and both the parking lot and the restaurant were packed. Even though they were extremely busy, we were immediately greeted by a courteous and polite young man who quickly escorted us to a booth. We were seated in Ms. Maria's section, and she was a wonderful server. She greeted us with a warm smile, brought us menus along with the lunch menu, chips and salsa, and promptly served our water. She gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and was friendly, attentive, and very courteous throughout our meal. The chips and salsa were very good. My only suggestion would be to offer a salsa without cilantro for those who prefer it. We ordered the Create Your Own Combo Plate, which included a chicken flauta, a crispy taco, rice, and refried beans topped with cheese for $15.50. The taco was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, while the chicken flauta was covered in a flavorful red chile sauce that had just the right amount of heat. The rice and refried beans were seasoned perfectly and complemented the meal well. We also ordered the chimichanga, smothered in cheese sauce and served with rice and refried beans, for $16.00. It was well seasoned, delicious, and satisfying. The flavors weren't overpowering--they were balanced and enjoyable, making it a dish I would gladly order again. This was my first visit to Mi Dia From Scratch, and I came away very impressed. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the restaurant also offers a nice outdoor seating area. Between the excellent service and flavorful food, I will definitely be back. I hope you'll give it a try too!

The portions are also huge Our server was wonderful from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, and checked on us often without being overbearing. The service was honestly the best part of the experience. We started with the Sichuan calamari, and this was easily the highlight of the meal. It was perfectly crispy, the glaze had just the right amount of sweetness and heat, and the seasoning gave it a nice kick without overpowering the calamari. It was one of the best calamari dishes I've had and definitely raised my expectations for everything that followed. Next was the tenderloin bruschetta, and unfortunately this one just didn't work for me. The flavors didn't come together, and it was much saltier than it needed to be. It felt like there were too many things happening on the plate without much balance. I wouldn't order it again. For the entrées, the Chilean Sea Bass was very good. The fish was flaky and cooked well, the risotto was creamy, and the sauce brought everything together without being too heavy. It was one of the stronger dishes we ordered. The lobster stuffed ravioli was another solid choice. The filling was generous, there was plenty of lobster on top, and the vodka sauce complemented everything nicely without taking over. It was rich but still well balanced. We also tried the New Zealand rack of lamb. This one had mixed reviews at our table. It wasn't as tender as I was hoping, but I didn't dislike it and again I didn't love it! The blackened exterior and the wine reduction gave it good flavor, but it just wasn't particularly memorable. My favorite entrée ended up being the tomahawk pork chop. The pork itself was juicy, flavorful, and cooked really well. I wasn't a huge fan of the pineapple bourbon glaze since I didn't think it added much to the dish, but the quality of the meat made up for it. We also had the strawberry spinach salad, which was fresh and a nice lighter option alongside all the richer dishes. Then there was also a side dish with green beans and almond and again no complains there. Overall, I left feeling a little conflicted. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was great, and the portions were very generous. The food itself was a mix of really good dishes and others that completely missed the mark. After such an incredible start with the calamari, I expected the rest of the meal to be on the same level, but it just never got there. I'm glad we tried it, but I don't think it's a place I'd rush back to.
