The friendly welcoming as we entered Lone Star Rotorua was great and a nice preview of the beautiful meal and service we experienced. I ordered the single lamb shank on a bed of mashed potato with a serving of steamed spinach, it was delicimo yum yum. Followed by the taste of summer sponge special desert and a long black coffee. I thoroughly recommend Lone Star Rotorua.

Another lovely place to eat in Rotorua. 8 of us dined here on a Saturday night. It was quite busy when we arrived and were told there would be a 15-20 minute wait if not sooner. We weren't too fussed because we still waiting for others to arrive. Within 5 minutes we were told our table was ready and it was perfect timing. We all day down a mulled over the menu. A very friendly waitress named Cassidy came over to take our orders. She took down the orders and was very helpful with explaining this dishes. Once our dishes arrived we all tucked in since we were all hungry. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and kept raving about how good their dishes were.

Before we left I made it a point to tell the manager how great Cassidy's service was. She was happy and friendly and made our night.

Absolutely loved our meal!

Our server was particularly memorable because of her amazing service. She was extremely attentive and checked on us often to see if we needed anything.

To start we ordered the loaf with regular butter and garlic butter. The garlic butter was amazing!! Bread was very difficult to cut and crumbs went everywhere. For mains I ordered the johnny cash stash which was incredible as always - tender chicken with Lone Star's famous slaw. We also got the lamb shank pictured below which was equally as delicious.

Overall good experience with great food ☺️

Went to a 50th at Lonestar Rotorua and all in all they catered quite well for the large group of us. Being a Saturday night the restaurant was extremely busy and the staff were rushed off their feet but they did make the time to entertain our needs and make sure everything was alright.
Food itself is just the same as any Lonestar you go to big portions steak cooked quite well, large chips and a salad. but just not the wide variety to cater for the different tastes of today.
Lonestar still works on the concept it did from day one of trying to be an American restaurant and has been successful but soon just like in other parts of the country new restaurants with an American theme will pop up with better menus at a cheaper price. Lonestar will need to expand its menu if it would like to continue to be the dominant force that it seems to be in Rotorua.
For the price you pay and a menu that you could quite easily reproduce at home Lonestar gets a 3.5 from me. The only things that made this night memorable was the ambiance, the staff and the people we had dinner with.

We ate in the bar where there was no service but the bar staff were nice. The food was tasty. A bit pricy for what you get but it's a nice place to go for a treat.

Great fast service and well cooked food. Kids meals are great value and adult food tasty and wholesome. Only moan (my English mum) was that Buffalo Chips weren't 'chips' (fries) but more like roasties!! Didn't spoil the meal tho!

Road trip to Rotorua, looking for somewhere to dine on our first night in Rotorua, saw Lone Star.
We had to wait 15mins to get a table, which is understandable as they were very busy. So me and my partner went for a walk around the town and came back in 15 minutes. The bread we ordered in the beginning with the garlic spread was delicious and filling as well as the chicken nibbles we ordered. The mains were great we ordered the two shanks and the salmon. Great serving sizes, was very filling. The only let down was the salad that came with the lamb shanks did not really go with lamb shanks, though was a fresh salad with nuts in it.
The service was excellent, we were greeted when we entered and the waitress serving us were great.
Other than that everything was great and will come back if I'm ever in town again.

Excellent experience and food. My wife and I and our two young kids were treated wonderfully from the moment the doors were open to us! The service from the maitre'd was excellent, he and our waiter,made the experience memorable. The dixie chicken was perfect. The kids meal superb. The salmon divine. Lovely American warm feel big meal feel.
The kids had coloring pencils and activity sheets which was great. A kids room would be amazing and something to consider. ; D

I have been here twice and both times the service and the food is spectacular and I will be going back the Dixie Chicken and the Jack Daniels Chocolate Pudding is always a good finish off to the night. But I always find it hard to drive home after a meal there. Oh the Cobb Bread so fresh and yummie and a sides must have. Well done

Big meals, family friendly servvice, fun atmosphere. We came here in January as escapees one night from a Camp we were attending and had cruised Eat Streat for something suitable for the kids (under 10) but found nothing that would satisfy everyones preferences. This hit the spot nicely. Will return next time we're in Vegas.

Went here whilst on holiday last week.
Service was great, and prices reasonable.
I had a chicken dish which was stuffed and came with buffalo chips and salad, very tasty and huge meal. My friend had a Prawn meal (prawn star) which was also really big and she said was very tasty.

Extremely busy the night we visited but very impressed - we had a voucher for a free Lone Star loaf which is a freshly baked bred loaf with garlic and herb butter on the side - delish!

I had a porterhouse (sirloin) perfectly cooked medium - came with buffalo potatoes, coleslaw and a honey mustard sauce $32 - Ron had a ribeye with the same sides but with pepper sauce - again perfectly cooked $32 as well

Service very attentive, could not say anything bad about this place besides the slightly pricey prices!!

👍: -Probably one of my favourite restaurants from my trip to NZ, nice interior decor of a Cowboy texan Style restaurant. -Very very decent sized portions at a very reasonable price. -The redneck ribs were the best item amongst all. Ribs were well seasoned and tender and fell of the bone soft and juicy. -Friendly staff and excellent service. 👎: -The interior lighting is a little dim, else I loved the overall dining experience otherwise!

Dined at this restaurant for Matariki Weekend in Rotorua and it was very busy and we comfortably sat outside for dinner. They were very friendly and attentive despite this and were very fast and checked up often. Our food was amazing and the tornado cocktail was worth it. They even cooked the steak exactly medium rare! Great warm restaurant for families and people that have had a long day. Would go back again next time we go to Rotorua.

Exceptional dining experience, we hadn't made reservations and the staff were more than accommodating as soon as we walked through the doors. Prices are amazing especially the kids meals with free drinks and dessert. Wait staff have impeccable table service, the entire area was very clean including the restrooms. Food was served hot and super fast, not to mention delicious and massive portions. I highly recommend to all, I was super impressed and will definitely be back again next time I'm in Rotorua.

Dined here from 6pm to 8pm on a Saturday evening. Lovely food although my mussels in my dish were super tiny which was a bit disappointing. Very tasty though. Super friendly staff. Very attentive. Very loud in the area we were sat, had to shout the entire time over the music which was very draining. Toilets were not the nicest and there was no hand soap dispenser available in the toilet?

Great location with a lot of choice on the menu, I had the steak, and it was good, meat good have been better, but overall, my experience was good. Friendly staff and good customer service. Parking was but difficult at night time but location was great for dinning.

Quiet night and the food could have been better. Awesome Lamb, above average steak, average venison. Ribs were consistent, and burger large. Garlic bread was warm and full of butter, very lovely!
