Good for a family night out Botany's Lone Star is local and fits the bill nicely. Steaks, nachos, pork and burritos came out in an acceptable time frame and was universally given the thumbs up. Although I would usually like to grab a steak from a designated steak house not a franchise I found Lone Star great.

Delicious food! Great service too and was very attentive, despite us coming at a late hour. Would highly recommend the fish - ‘Rock the Boat’, sauce was tasty and big portion as well. Nachos had a generous amount of toppings and chicken tenders were great as well :)

I have been here a handful of times; mainly special occasions like birthdays etc. I really like how the staff would try to make it super special by singing Happy Birthday (upon request). I remember the eyes of children lighting up with happy faces making such precious memories. Contrary, it is hilarious seeing the embarrassed and SURPRISED faces of celebrants (esp who are shy and not proud of turning older in their -ty's). The food and the service were always great. I recall always leaving with a full tummy and a happy smile. The wait time was fine but we take the consideration of how many people ordered before us. I can only remember one time being slightly impatient. Today, I dined with my bf but for no special occasion. We had pork belly and steak. Food was amazing. Especially pork belly with pumpkin puree. Garlic bread was nicely made too. Staff were friendly and checked in on us once. All had a positive vibe. When service/order button pressed, staff came promptly. Very minor feedback: I think bathroom maintenance need to be more regular. The toilet rolls were near empty and you ran out of handsoaps.

Five-Star Takeout Experience! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Packaging: I had the pleasure of ordering bulk takeout from this restaurant, the packaging of the food was top-notch. The restaurant took great care in securely packaging the food, ensuring that it arrived in perfect condition. Each item was thoughtfully placed in containers that prevented any leaks or spills, and everything was neatly organized, making it easy to unpack and enjoy. Portions: The portion sizes were absolutely spot on. I was impressed by how well the restaurant managed to maintain the quality and quantity of the food. Each dish was plentiful, It was evident that the restaurant took pride in providing generous portions to their customers. Often, when placing a large order, there can be some confusion or mix-ups, but not here. I appreciated their attention to detail. Food: The calamaris, chicken, and ribs were nothing short of exceptional. The calamaris were perfectly fried, boasting a delightful crunch with a tender interior. The chicken was moist, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The ribs were succulent, coated in a finger-licking sauce. Each dish was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and taste. Highly recommend for take out food to share with family and friends. Can’t wait to visit the physical restaurant ✨Happy New Year!

The family and I called in to Lone Star Restaurant at Botany Downs today and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The food was of excellent quality and the waitstaff were extremely friendly and attentive. The service was very prompt and efficient. Every dish we tried was flavourful and cooked to perfection. The decor was modern and inviting, along with some upbeat country music making it a great atmosphere to relax and dine in. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal.

We had an ok experience. I had the ribs and they were fine, not as tender as I'd like but they weren't terrible. Friends had the burger and they like that. Service was good and friendly. We went a couple days before NYE and it was so warm and muggy inside. We literally ate and left because we couldn't bear being inside for much longer. Of course not the restaurants fault but just FYI.

My favorite restaurant in New Zealand! Steaks perfectly cooked and delicious. Garlic butter is perfect! They could open a unit in Brazil!

Excellent service by Ms. Kennedy. She was proactive, kind and paid attention to the tiniest details throughout the service. Will definitely be back. Thank you very much. Mr. Raman, the owner was amazing too. This is the best Lone Star in NZ hands down!
