Parking was good. Arrive was good Skittle drink was sour but good. Burger was excellent, burrito was good too but didn't need the rice and side of beans as it already had beans and rice in it. So many fun drinks to choose from! read more

Well managed resto with the most friendliest staff, especially our water "Sage". She was well informed and made some good recommendation for us being first time visitors. The food was good but it just felt it was messing some flavour or maybe it was me not being in this place before and have some perception on what the taste should be, and the their prices was reasonable enough to not break your outing budget. Overall it was a fun experience and certainly i will be visiting again, so yeah if you are in that part of the woods, give them a shout. :) read more

A Tex-Mex Family Favourite That Never Misses! Yet another fantastic family outing at Lone Star Texas Grill --and once again, they hit it out of the park! The atmosphere was buzzing with that familiar energy we've come to love: warm, lively, and family-friendly, without ever feeling overwhelming. This visit, we had the pleasure of being served by Coyote, and let me just say--he was exceptional. From the moment we sat down, his service was quick, friendly, and incredibly attentive. When our two-year-old started getting fussy about needing "more fries," Coyote somehow had them at our table within seconds--like a magic trick every parent dreams of. The food, as always, was fresh, flavourful, and satisfying. From the sizzling fajitas (a must!) to the house-made chips and salsa that we could honestly eat by the basketful, everything hit the spot. We've been to many restaurants with our kids, but Lone Star continues to be one of the few places that makes dining out as a family feel easy, relaxed, and enjoyable. It's not just the food--it's the service, the vibe, and the consistency. If you're looking for a spot where the kids are happy, the service is top-tier, and the food brings everyone together, Lone Star Baseline is it. #FamilyFaves #LoneStarLove #FajitaFiesta #OttawaEats #GreatService #KidFriendlyDining #TexMexVibes #SupportLocal #BaselineBest #CoyoteWasAwesome read more

Menu prices have definitely got the inflation hit so it's a little too expensive to come here frequently. I love their margaritas and we tried alligator bites for the first time - delicious! Service was good, staff are friendly. We came at a weird time so we had the outdoor patio to ourselves which was nice. Overall, it was a really nice experience. read more

Went with family for birthday celebration. Ordered nachos which came with next to NO cheese and very little dressings. Even the sour cream was nothing, barely a tea spoon full on top of the plate. There was no saltand pepper on the table. We asked the waiter to seperate the fries and chicken strips on different plates for our 2 year old. They arrived on the same plate. Afterwards they did not ask how the dinner was. They just collected the payment. Unfriendly staff, poor food, skimpy servings. St Laurent location, July 11, 2025. Hi read more

I got the grilled chicken tacos and they were good! I am absolutely obsessed with their nachos. I would honestly prefer to get nachos as my meal every time we go, haha. They're so good! read more

Food was consistent to what I'm used to from Lone Star. Ordered the fajitas, alligator bites, and calamari. The calamari wasn't breaded well and was soggy. Steak and chicken fajitas always good here. Could use more seasoning. Service was overall great! Our server was attentive, friendly, and quick. The low rating hasn't have anything to do with the server or food. I would've rated higher, however we had a reservation for 630 but had to wait 40 minutes to be seated. The host and hostesses said they were getting the table ready but later told us that the previous party hasn't left yet and waiting for them to leave. I'd go back but they need to have a seating time limit to manage their reservations on time. read more

Bland-o-Rama. I had ribs because a few years ago I ate at another Lone Star and they were wonderful. In this case, the cow died in vein. Nothing was special and it took a long time to arrive in the sparsely populated restaurant. However, the beer was fine and the wait staff was good. The ambience seems family friendly. But no, I don't think my wife and I will be returning anytime soon. read more

I ordered the mild chicken sandwich and onion rings. The mild chicken sauce is the best mild bbq sauce I've ever had. It's tangy, sweet with a little heat; the best I've ever had. I ordered it two nights in a row because it was so delicious. The curly fries and onion rings are good too. I will definitely be back Get the honey dill for dipping, delicious The ladies that worked there were polite as well with great smiles read more

As always great food great service! Had the ribs and chicken. Fantastic even cor Canada eh???? LOL

Okay okay okay. It's really hard to find the right food to celebrate for Mother's Day during a lockdown and after hunting through all our favourites we landed on Lone Star's menu and the Fajita Combo for 6 special. Let me tell you, they say it's a combo for 6, but in reality you could feed 10 people easily with this meal. So we ordered the meal for take out and their website system was so simple to browse through and you could even set a time for pick up so that you can actually plan your trip instead of rushing all over the city for your meal. The combo came with all your traditional fajita needs including flour tortillas, peppers, onions and all the topics you could imagine. Salsa, Cheddar, Queso sauce and two 1L bottles of pop. As for the meat - we got the chicken and beef combo and they meat was cooked just right. The chicken was savoury and the beef was cooked medium rare - perfection. It's too bad you couldn't take the sizzling plate home with you, now that would be the ultimate take out meal. For $142.98, a dinner for 6 that really feeds 10 is a great price point. I highly recommend this place for all family meals and gatherings during this new normal we are living in. read more

Lone Star Texas Grill - Fajita combo for 6 - Tex-Mex Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

Good but, meh. My friend and I came here for a girls night dinner, fairly early on a Saturday night (around 5pm). Thankfully, it wasn't busy so service was fairly prompt. We both ordered the steak and guacamole sandwich. I asked for a lattice fries as my side, with a small side of mole (it's my favourite thing at This restaurant, not sure why but the mole is so tasty). The fries were good, and as always the mole was delicious. I'm glad I asked for it as I ended up using it primarily for my sandwich. For a sandwich with guacamole in its name, it was low on guac, low on steak, and low on flavour. If it hadn't been for my side of mole which I spread on it myself, I might not have bothered eating it. It was pretty disappointing. And soggy. I'm not sure it was worth the $19. I'm giving this place 3 starts because: the fries, mole, and chips with salsa you get in the beginning were all good. Service was also good- friendly, prompt, and attentive, and the restaurant and it's facilities were clean. There was ample parking and it's in a convenient location, so that also works in its favour. I do wish the meal had been better, though. If I come back I'll stick to the fajitas since that's their specialty. read more

This is the location near the airport and technically considered Gloucester when you search for directions. I had dinner here outside on the patio, my first patio for dinner since the pandemic and my second patio in total since the pandemic. Glad we had a reservation because there weren't any tables left outside for dinner at 6pm on a Friday. They do ask you to sign-in using the QER code, but proof of vaccination isn't required if you're sitting outdoors. I haven't been to Lone Star in awhile, but they gave us a free plate of house-made tortilla chips and salsa for every two people while we looked at the menu and waited to order. Not sure if they still charge for additional plates like they did at one point. The chips were crunchy and the salsa was great as usual. They currently have a special "Tacos and Tequila" menu, with, you guessed it, different tacos and margaritas. I got the Paloma margarita from this menu and was tempted to get the crispy lobster tacos as well, but I figured why not mess with a good thing and went with a classic - fajitas. I ordered the regular size frozen margarita (1.25 oz of tequila) because I wanted a fancy glass for this special night out, but they also have the Texas size (2 oz) and the grande (2.5 oz). Like their other margaritas, it has Sauza gold tequila and the classic lime margarita as the base, plus "ruby red grapefruit flavours", which I don't think is real grapefruit. The house-smoked salt rim was on half of the glass and it didn't come with the lime wedge, but that was fine. I found it nice and tart, but too sweet for my taste, and I'm glad I only got the regular size. I originally ordered chicken fajitas for one but decided to change it last-minute to steak so that a friend and I could split her chicken and my steak. Their lingo confused us for a sec, so just a heads up that they say "regular torts" for the regular flour tortillas (gluten-free corn tortillas or lettuce wraps are the other options), and "buff" for Buffalo, like the buffalo chicken. I wished my steak was cut a little thicker or on the sizzling plate for a little less time since it was cooked to medium instead of medium rare, but my other friend's steak was cooked perfectly, so I think mine was just a one-off. It was still as tasty as usual, though, with great grilled flavour. The chicken was also cut very thin, but tender and moist. There was plenty of grilled onions and peppers and southwest rice, but we didn't get any beans like it said on the menu. It also came with shredded lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese (the pre-shredded kind with the cellulose or cornstarch so it doesn't stick together), and guacamole that wasn't an extra charge. When our server asked if I wanted pickled jalapeños, I said yes, and they didn't tell me, but I should have known they were an extra charge ($1.99) - the super small side dish of them wasn't worth it for me. The tortillas were warm and thicker than I remember, so I only ended up eating 3 out of the 5. Instead of a second margarita that I originally planned to get, I decided to get an order of churros instead so that my pregnant girlfriend could satisfy a craving without having to commit to a full order of four for herself. It came with chocolate and caramel dips. The churros were on the crispier side and heavy on the cinnamon, and, in my opinion, didn't really need any dips because they were sweet enough. Service was fine, but they didn't refill our waters, so be sure to ask if you want more, and mention to them to leave all of your dishes, including your extra tortillas, if you plan on taking a to-go box home. Not sure if they're letting people use the hot sauce bottles like they did pre-pandemic, but our server didn't offer them to us and I totally forgot to ask, so if you'd like some of their different hot sauces, be sure to ask for them as well. read more

Comfortable seating, lots of space, and warm, inviting interior. The servers were very friendly and accommodating but not intrusive... actually my only complaint would be that the servers were maybe on the side of not attentive enough even though we mentioned half our group was trying to make a flight and that we would need to be there no more than an hour. I had a fajita plate which was BOM!!! My friend had the steak and avocado sandwich, which was delicious and had a very tasty side salad served with them. The diet coke and coffee were excellent hits at our table for what they are haha! Clean, well-maintained washroom. This is a great place to bring family or co-workers. Also, plenty of free parking . read more

I had the Baby Back Ribs. They were excellent! The accompanying beans and cole slaw were fine. Not a big fan of the lattice fries. The portion of ribs was very big. Wished that there was BBQ sauce on the side. The waitress was fine - though it took her some time refill my drinks. Overall a good experience. I'd go again. read more

Lone Star Texas Grill - Great margarita with a Corona mini - Tex-Mex Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

Was staying at the hotel before a morning flight and was within walking distance. The food itself is ok - I got the fajitas. I have had worse and I have had better - though the variety of toppings is a nice touch. They have Daily beer specials which helps the wallet and the hostesses seem very friendly. I did not find the service in the bar to be any good. I am not from the area and not familiar with the chain, so it struck me odd that they offered everyone chips (not sure if they were free or on happy hour or something) but myself within the bar area. Secondly, the server explained to me that the fajita toppings were refillable. I tried to order a refill of 2 of the veggie toppings and they never came. I was going to ask after 5 minutes, but my food was just getting cold at that point, so I finished. Finally, I asked for the check but noticed the bar tendered served 3 people - two of which just sat down - before realizing he forgot about my bill. I get that serving can be difficult, but thy had 3 bartenders/servers at the bar in a night when only 3/4 of the seats were filled. read more

Used to love it but we went there after a Long break meat portions are skimpy. It was expensive I will not be returning.

A Canadian take on American Tex-Mex food. Aka a northern chilis. Nice and clean, with a great family atmosphere. The staff was polite and prompt. Food was good and flavorful just wish it was spicier. There two branded hot sauces were super mild and mild. A larger beer selection would be great. read more

Check your take out order before leaving. Picked up a family fajitas and after arriving home, 2 sides were missing. Wasn't busy.

Courteous and friendly staff were real life savers with family size fajita orders during the pandemic. We have 2x young men who were hungry all the time and nobody needs more pandemic angst! They offer gluten-free tortillas which is essential for one family member. My only complaint is the amount of onions in the fajita orders, so you might want to ask for lesser amount of onions, and I think they would oblige. read more

I really do love the Lone Star - the fajitas are amazing, and even the tortillas wraps alone are worth getting the meal. I love that all the serves are friendly, in fact I have learned that it's a key aspect of the hiring process for them. Good service makes all the difference. I will be back, I will eat more fajitas, I will continue to tell all my friends how much I love Lone Star! Pro tip for Ottawa - if you search Lone Star on Google, there is one option that will take you to the Ranch, which is not a restaurant. That fooled us once! read more

4/5 = Pretty Satisfied! Came in pretty late on a week night with my friend in the middle of the week and the staff was still very friendly and welcoming. All I had this time around were the chicken fajitas, but the tortillas tasted fresh and very nice, the chicken platter was good, and the guacamole was very tasty. As far as Lone Star locations go, this one was very good. read more

Here's the thing about Canada. It's great because it's not the United States. It has it's own personality and taste that makes it unique even though, on the surface, it appears you haven't left the US. So, I was sad that some jabrony decided to start a Texas based restaurant in the great Canadian wilderness. Near a set of hotels, it's really the only option for a dinner not provided in less than 5 minutes. Upon walking in, you are overwhelmed by someone's interpretation of "Texas". Wood paneling. Country music. Girls in cowboy boots and red dresses. Jean jackets. Big ass TVs. Basically, all of the worst things about Texas under one roof. Just like Texas, the beer selection is limited to the big boys named Busch and Coors. Gross. The menu offers nothing to be desired all at ridiculous high prices. For $30 CAD, I had a burger, a side salad, and a beer. Clearly, they haven't been to Texas to determine if the prices were reasonable. For dessert, I was sent on my way with a one-two combination of effing Kenny Chesney. Skip the walk, jump into your car, and find anything else. read more

The lone star manager called me in regards to my experience with not the greatest service and was super quick to try and rectify the situation so we came back in for take out this time and the service was fantastic and the food was packed perfectly. I really love when restaurants take care of their customers and try and get to the bottom when something doesn't go as planned. Seriously though the food has never let me down so it is easy to forgive. read more

I've been a fan of the Lone Star chain for many years as someone who suffers from Celiac, it's a safe place to eat with the corn tortillas and corn chips. We were there for dinner on a Friday night and the place was busy. We were seated quickly, and the service was impeccable. Our server, Ranger was a hoot! Very friendly and personable and went above and beyond to ensure our evening was enjoyable. Will be back to this location again! read more

A number of weeks ago, I ordered takeout from here and they, unfortunately, screwed up the order. After contracting them and explaining, the general manager, offered me a replacement burger. Tonight, I went to claim it. Not only did I get a new burger, I was given complimentary fries, and tortilla chips and salsa, PLUS more tortilla chips, salsa and a drink while I waited. The manager also came out to see me personally to ensure they were "making it right." They were. Kudos to the staff (especially the lovely lady at the counter) at Lone Star and to the General Manager, Michael (Stallion) Caruso. read more

It doesn't happen very often but I will say I was wrong lol. This place is in the parking lot of my hotel and had good reviews, although not that many total so I figured why not. I have an early flight in the morning so I want something quick. As I am walking there I'm thinking to myself what am I doing going to a Texas Mexican/BBQ joint in Canada, this is going to be terrible. WRONG! I see the parking lot is packed and there is a wait. I want to sit at the bar so I figured the service is going to be awful. WRONG!! Wrong twice....somebody should mark this date. Ok, on with it right! I easily found a seat at the bar and ordered a water and a menu. For food I ordered the chicken and shrimp fajitas no peppers, oh and a glass of wine. Duh. There were 2 bartenders. One got my drinks and the other got me a complementary chips and salas. I don't love tomatoes so I'm very picky about my salsa being too tomatoey tasting. This salsa was the perfect blend. Not too chunky not too tomatoey. My fajitas came out sizzling. The shrimp and chicken were both cooked perfectly. Not over cooked like all my other meals in Canada. The dish came with warm tortillas, rice, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and pico. They also let you choose a side sauce. I choose chimichurri sauce and it was so good. The bartenders asked me multiple times if everything was good and if I needed anything else. If I had one complaint because come on its still me writing this review I would say the mixed rice was lacking flavor. Good food and service! read more

Great food. The skinny fajitas are also Keto which is good for those of us that have limited options. Service was excellent.

Ambiance is nice here, service is great. I tried the portobello mushroom and avocado fajitas. I'm not sure if it's just these fajitas or all of them here, but they had none of the fajita seasonings. $20 total, I got water and just paid for the entree. That by itself was 17.99. I returned to give it a second chance and ordered the chimichanga. It was pretty soggy, I couldn't finish it. It kind of grossed me out. To the Texan guys who came up here and opened this place, I hope this wasn't their interpretation of Mexican because ick! I have a right to complain too because I eat more Mexican than anyone I know. I should've been born Mexican! (Seriously, it's my #1 favorite cuisine!) They have to have something here that's good, right? But I didn't find it. It must not be in their Mexican options. I hope someone else finds it. read more

Still a great place. Im not only a customer there. i occasionally have to deliver beer there which allows me access to the kitchen and the cooler during those visits only. Clean, clean and clean. and Im a former fast food manager, I know what to spot. read more

Typical Lone Star. Fun experience, and reasonably priced with good food. Loved their steak, which was a surprise. Service is good which also surprised me as I've been to others and the service was sloooooow. Downside to this restaurant chain...it gets loud. but that's what they are all about. they do the whole birthday thing...thankfully it's quick! It's close to home so I'm glad it's withing the realm of my restaurant choices. read more

We ordered Uber Eats from Lone Star on George St Ottawa. It was someone's birthday, and all we got is a ton of bad food and regrets. Fajitas beef was un-chewable. the "famous salsa" was so watered down, that water with a tad of tomatoes is all it tasted like. And "2 for 1" pork ribs were burned to coals in some places, and were inedible. The brave one who ate some ended up with a stomach ache for the night. this is a high-cost CRAP. Order at your own risk. read more
