Went to our friendly Lonestar Westgate on Saturday night, OMG, food was divine as always. Prompt service, really lovely staff. Food for the table came out all at once, I don’t know how they do it. Atmosphere up there is always hubbub, and kid friendly which is great. We had a relaxed and enjoyable meal, thank you so much staff and management, see you again soon !

Had an awesome time with 2 active little boys on their first trip to a "you have to sit down no there's no playground" restaurant � Staff were super lovely, our service was fast and friendly and the food was delish. We went at 430pm which I would recommend if u have littles as we were seated right away in a booth and our orders didn't take long. ♡

I've eaten at a few Lonestars throughout the country and the new Lonestar Westgate is top notch. Great food atmosphere,and the staff friendly and attentive. Keep up the great work!

Gerhard burger Very thick beef Pattie, served with bacon and cheese. I don't really like the taste of bacon inside, the others are not bad. The chips and sauce are delicious.

BB King Ribs: The portion is large, and the buffalo chips are also delicious. The price is a bit expensive, but it is worth it.

Always our favourite spot! Whether it’s date night, weekday family dinner or a special celebration Lonestar Westgate never ever disappoints! We come here often and really love the rewards programme and the kids vouchers they send out for the colouring competitions. Always has us coming back. Steak is always juicy, ribs are always so tender and the milky bar pud is always a must have! Our 4 kids eat every bite (they all have kids Barney ribs) and even eat the coleslaw. It’s their fave salad they say. WINNING!

One of the best Loan stars by far, the staff are lovely and look like they actually enjoy their job, and the food is soo delicious. Went here for our work do and they were really fast with our orders even though we were a huge group.

Great service and food. Had one of the best steaks ever, well done and juicy, not many places can master that. Ribs were great too, tender and delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive, would definitely come again.

Squid for a starter was nicely cooked ..came without salad and thought was a bit pricey for just some squid rings and sauce.
Lamb special for main was so good was well worth the $38 and only thing I would ask is for more potatos..I had one 1/2 pearla sized potato cut in half to portion with a very large sized meal of meat..otherwise was really tasty :)
Prawn meal had a nice small sized salad and good amount of prawns but was a bit overwhelmed with rice and sauce had really good flavour ..if it was thicker would have been better. Maybe less rice more salad with this dish . Always really good service from the ladys too and venue has good vibe, comfy booths with good old school music

We enjoyed a belated Valentines Day celebration here this evening as a family. Both of our daughters enjoyed cheese & pineapple Mexican toasties (one with fries and other with mashed potato), my husband ordered the rib special promoted by our waitress, while I indulged in a delightful vegetarian burger upgraded with mushrooms and fried eggs.
The service provided to us was attentive and friendly. Table was cleared promptly, timings for food and drinks was good and our order was presented without any mistakes. All the food tasted great and we would order again for sure. Thanks LS for a great evening!

Lone Star is one of the best places l've eaten at, with the starters, mains and dessert and the Western-American touch to the place, would come again.

We ordered the pork ribs, chips and coleslaw takeaway. Good value for your money. The ribs were nice and tender. The flavour was ok it could have done with more sauce. I would love to try other stuff from their menu.
Okay went back for dinner and had the kiwi joker rib eye. Lovely meal but the eggs were over cooked. Great atmosphere for catching up and the staff were friendly. I would go back.

WOW!! we have been to Loan star a few times since it opened. The Steak is AMAZING!!! Other food and cocktails were also really good ( but you can’t beat a good steak) Service is always really great and Staff are super friendly.

Been here a couple times now, There is parking on site but few places around it, the times I've been there I've always managed to get parking. The ribs were very good, full of meat. Their loaf and coconut mussels were also good. Not a fan of their coleslaw though. Their desserts are great especially the lemon meringue dessert, yummmmm. Would return again for a different meal.

Went with a group of 15 for birthdays. There were other large groups there the same night. The service was great . We had a reasonably new staff member Holly and she was amazing the food was great and the kids menu is amazing with first drink free and free ice cream dessert. Will definetly come back here I've had bad lone star experience in the past from other branches but thought it was perfect considering our large loud group 😁

I have only been to the Westgate franchise once, but we really enjoyed it that we will be back again. There was only a short 15minute wait for our mains, beware of the big portion size, but delicious as expected. Definitely is a more of a family restaurant than a quiet dinner date place. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating, I’m not one to be picky but the cocktail I was made was awful , they didn’t hesitate to remedy the situation straight away. The only down fall is the parking situation can be abit differcult but that’s not the restaurants fault.

Delicious food that came out so quickly! Lovely staff and awesome atmosphere! Went out for dinner with my boyfriend and figured Lone Star Westgate would be a good call since it is so close by. Will definitely visit again when craving steak, will also try the fish next time!

I went here on New Years Eve with my friends for dinner. Lone Star is always one of my favorites as it is consistent.

The service was good, got seated quickly with menus but it was a little hard to wait for other people as we kept getting asked by everyone if we wanted to order yet.

The food was good! I had the ribs which are my favorite! Cocktails were really yummy too!

Would definitely come back! I had more photos but accidentally deleted them 🙁

Got a table straight away. Had a lovely waitress. I ordered the Prawn Star. Was absolutely delicious. Very generous with the prawns. Hubby ordered the Ribeye Steak. Now he’s very picky when it comes to his steaks but said this was one of the best steaks he had had in a long time. Compliments to the chef. Will definitely be back.

Food is good, got the steak and it was cooked perfectly just as i wanted it ~ medium rare. However I think they need to work on their service bc the guy at the counter got pissed at us when we wanted to split the dessert bill lmao.

We purposely went in earlier 15 minutes before 6pm and successfully got a place straight away. I ordered Apache fish as the menu wrote there is dairy free option. When the food served up, saw a bowl of tartare sauce on the side of the plate. I thought it was a dairy free. Silly me . Lol. Luckily we double checked and told us it's tartare sauce . That's why the kitchen put it a side. Then the waitress straight away took it off. 😅That's the hiccups we had for today. Otherwise the stuff is friendly and efficient service.

Lone Star has always been one of my go too places since I cannot get enough of the Johnny Cash Stash - it is simply divine and the best chicken I have tasted. The dessert menu is alluring and intoxicating. All meals are very healthy in portion and the kiddies get an awesome menu too. With their latest app for rewards this place needs to be one of the regulars.

Really enjoyed my meal here - love the KIWIFRUIT cocktail - seriously good! Its a shame the premises is so dark! While the meals are fantastic I really struggle to enjoy my dining experience in such a gloomy atmosphere. It would totally work if the entire place was a little lighter! Just my opinion though! I will still be coming back here to eat!

The food and dessert are fabulous!!!

We came here after work for dinner. There were spacious parking outside and tables available although we didn't make a booking. Unlike other branch, we don't having to be in the waiting list. We were greeted and seated and food came in acceptable time after we ordered them. We had prawn star, sirloin steak, apache fish and buenos nachos. We all love and enjoyed our food.

After our main, we all had desserts. The banoffee pie is great with banana and thick chocolate. Creme brulee is always my favorite but I didn't regret at all to have the banoffee pie and will definately come back again just for it! I would also want to try other dessert in their menu because they are all tempting.

It would be great if they can expand their range in vegetarian and salads because there are some days we would like to eat more healthy and feel less guilty :P

Staff are very welcoming and friendly so that's another extra points. We really enjoyed our night there. There are a few of them who are new who needs more training when it comes to serving customers. But overall it was a good experience.

Wow. Greeted promptly, seated at a nice table for two, did not feel rushed to order, wonderful atmosphere. Drinks came out minutes after order and then our starter (redneck ribs). 10 minutes after finishing our ribs the mains came out, I got shank peninsula x2 and my partner got the John Deer both of which looked just as good as they tasted. I couldn't quite fit dessert in, but we ordered one anyway because of the app special at the moment.

So happy to skip the drive to New Lynn for a night at Lone Star - same great food, better decor!! As always my favourite Mango Margarita was at my side and the Pork Loin was tasty and crunchy, albeit a tiny bit dry, cant be helped with a larger portion however! Tasty Gravy and Apple more than makes up for it. Will come many more times I'm sure.

Been wanting to try this one out since I found out about its existence. No more driving to New Lynn! The ambience and interior decoration are spot on. Really makes you feel like you are dining on a Ranch in a restaurant in Texas (though as yet I have not been to Texas, but I imagine it would look similar to this). Prompt and super friendly service. Our waiter introduced himself, and read out the specials, and was patient with me humming and harring over wait to order. Starter=Ribs! The best ribs ever, I really do enjoy these, they are well seasoned and decent size portion. Main=Thought I would try something different instead just ordering my usual likes. Picked the Burrito Rancho. So glad I got it too, it was so tasty and incredibly filling. I forget the portions are generous. Ate 2/3 and got the rest to take home. Desert= To fill to eat any, though the dessert menu looked delicious. Drinks=Bounter Hunter Cocktail. Reminiscent of a mud shake, delicious.

Cost=Mine totalled about $55, which for me personally is pricey. But since  I don't eat at fancy restaurants that often and the quality and portion size is amazing, I don't mind paying it for the odd occassion.

P.S I thought it was really nice getting a personal note on our bill summary and some Jelly Beans., no end to the great service this establishment offers. There is only one improvement that I would suggest to get that 5 star rating from me; we were seated in a booth/chair arrangement and I was seated on the chair. It was hard wood and after 1.5 hours it was getting uncomfortable. I'd recommend putting some cushions on those seats. That would round out the perfect dining experience to me.

Decent family friendly restaurant. We ordered a range of starters to share - loaf, prawn star, ribs and one of the special of the day: mussels in white wine, cream and garlic. Whilst the loaf and prawns weren't what I expected - the loaf is different than what I have had from Lone Star (albeit a long time ago) and prawns were not as big as I imagined but they were all really yummy. The garlic, chilli sauce the prawn was in was define and the rice complemented well. The ribs, although a bit sweet than what I usually liked, actually got pretty addictive after a few bites. The mussels were also in a delicious sauce, served on a shallow plate. We finished our meal with the Kahlua and Moro Bar cheesecake - fairly delicious, but I was too stuffed to enjoy it properly. 
The service was great, the friendly casual approach Lone Star is known for. They also look like they had great kids menu judging by our neighbours' tables. 
Big restaurant, a bit dimmer than what I liked but good atmosphere.

First time here tonight. The atmosphere was warm and good however felt it was too loud in the background. The waiters were friendly, professional, patient and well mannered. The food I ordered the JONNY STASH CHICKEN. The colslaw was tasty and fresh chips were great and the stuffed chicken was tasty and good. However the mushroom sauce you guys put on top not so good at all bland in taste disappointing. The For A Few Doughnuts More dessert. Doughnuts were too greasy/oily/rich even though it comes with vanilla cream and chocolate sauce I was actually disappointed in this. The prices are steep here too! I would still recommend this place to others.

We had dinner at Westgate Lone Star last night, booked on line, simple and easy to do. Pork for him, Johnny Cash chicken for me, both cooked beautifully and on our table 15mins after ordering whilst we had some bread(side note, the 'old' style loaf that used to be was much better!!) Service much better than two months ago. Ordered a longhorn cheesecake to take home, they are divine😋 Overall a very nice dining experience, it's great to be able to support local !

Very satisfied dinner. Book for 1860. Parking available. Very kind and friendly waitress. It was kind of pack however it took 15min to serve 5 dishes. I had a BB King Rib. It was amazing and worth the 36. It was large enough, delicious soft and tasty. About the atmosphere it was great. I like the music, like stereo. And people around was laughing and having fun. After a long hours of work, I would recommend you to try it out. 👌

Excellent service, staff was very friendly and helpful. Sasha was our server. Food was delivered promptly and was good. Large meals and definitely value for money. No problem bringing a birthday cake with staff also taking the time to sing happy birthday. Background music wasn't too loud as it has been when we have been there previously.

Lonestar never disappoints with their delicious food. This branch is one of my favourites. The staff are all very friendly and their service is quick. The restaurant is spacious and clean and has a great decor. The music played here is always great. Awesome busy atmosphere and great bar. Their food portions are huge and food presentation is a bonus.

Service and waitresses were very good. They didn't do a complimentary dessert like Whangarei but was happy they sung happy birthday for our friend. Probably wouldn't go again as it was very noisy with loud back ground music, couldn't hear ourselves talk. Great big meals and desserts were yummy.
