Enjoyed eating here. Garlic prawns and garlic bread was amazeballs. And the ribs and maverick steak was yummo as well. Service was good just they forgot to bring our table water but it was a busy night so all was forgiven.
The service was good, almost always is at Lone Stars. Food tasty plentiful and familiar. Ambiance very nice, if a little quiet. Mid winter, mid week, Nelson is never going to be a rave. Overall as good as if expect it to be. A perfect experience for the money spent.
Great wait staff! Sadly that the steak was med to med/well done when asked for med/rare! Still tasted amazing and boulangere was fantastic!
Fabulously friendly staff and prompt service that was pleasantly unexpected.
Greeted and seated upon arrival with just the right amount of attention given to a couple out for a celebratory meal. Despite it being a busy Friday night, our perfectly cooked steaks arrived without much of a wait and enquiries whether we wanted out drinks topped up.
Definitely recommend it for all those who like their hearty meals!
I have dined here twice. Once for my partners mid year work-do.
I do have to admit, we had already had a few so I didnt notice the wait if there was one. My waitress spilt the butter on my shoes while putting down my meal. It was clearly an accident but I think she was so embarresed that she didnt stay to clean it up! That made for an interesting trip to the bar. Buttery boots and wooden floors dont mix! However, overall the food was delicious and massive!
Second time round, the service was impeccable! Restaurant was packed but the food was quick. A few times I was bought a drink with ice when I asked for none, but that was forgivable.
I'll definately be going back :)
Coming from Christchurch I have to say not a fan of Lone Star, but went to this Lone-Star last week & enjoyed every bit, best nachos I have tasted & 3 other guests all enjoyed their meals. Service was good if anything a wee bit too much attention from the wait staff, was a bit disappointed with the cheese cake but they were very obliging when I asked for an affogato (wern't sure what it was) but were happy to make one when told what it was. This Lone-Star is definitely a place I would return to & would recommend
I very nice evening out for daughters birthday, food was very good although plates seemed a bit empty, just needs to get the ratio of plate to food correct as meal was perfect amount.
Real big proportion of food, above the average in terms of flavour at least for what we ordered. I left my phone behind after the dinner and managed to get it back, thanks.
Services was great, food was good, the donuts for dessert was a big serving but definitely worth it, they were so fluffy. The mash potato was actual potato and not instant packet mash which I loved.
I took my son here for his 18th birthday on the 11/10/23, all he wanted was Ribs, the food was Amazing, the staff were outstanding too! We got a birthday cake, which was decorated beautifully and a great price!
We all ordered different food and it was a 10 out of 10 from all of us! I totally recommend this place for a family friendly place, with an awesome atmosphere! Well done team, we had a great time!!
Great food ,ambiance & service! One of the very few restaurants in Nelson where we get big portions ! Also to mention their Classic Burrrito , Johnny Cash Stash and Rib-eye steak . Totally loved their Cheesecake & crème brûlée. A special mention to their Butter Garlic Prawn starter . A perfect spot for celebrations !

Was a trendy place to chill, watch the rugby highlights and read my book while sipping delicious cocktails with a tasteful meal.
Very warm welcome, plenty of different spaces to sit. Good variety on the menu including gluten free. We had the steak special which was very delicious, steak was tender & terrific.
I had the kiwi pavlova which was scrumptious. Lovely ambience with the fires & lighting. Rather noisy when full though.
The steak was amazingly tender, no need for a steak knife. The salad was impeccably fresh and crunchy. The whole dish was delightful. The service that accommodated particular refreshments and a lovely warm atmosphere were appealing. An easy to relax and talk to your loved one restaurant.
Never a dull meal here! Absolutely wonderful customer service. Warm inside and out! (I had already started eating before taking photo, so mind what's on the side) The ribs are the best I've ever had 😍
Had family birthday dinner. Wonderful service, food was delicious. Unfortunately serving size was too big so had to have for lunch the next day
Great place to eat, awesome service by awesome staff. The food was top notch!
Had dinner there tonight. I wish I hadn't. Huge meal, huge flavours, perfectly cooked fish. Young enthusiastic and welcoming staff. Great setting in downtown Nelson.
If only every Lone Star was as good as this one.
Shame I'm only in Nelson every few years.
Young guy with mullet working on 2nd september bloody awesome food was a wait but he kept coming over to apologise and check on us but not annoying about it didn’t judge my picky eating either went a few months ago and same experience with him top job legend. Deserves a pay rise
