Lonestar Steakhouse & Saloon

The Lonestar Steakhouse & Saloon is a smaller national chain of Steakhouses. Nearby locations in Tustin, Laguna Hills, Long Beach, and Corona. This is a review of the Tustin Lonestar Steakhouse & Saloon for dinner.

There is always a wait during dinner at this Lonestar location. We put our name down and waited about 30 minutes before we were called. We were led to our table, a nice comfy booth in the middle of the restaurant. Lonestar's decor is pretty much old Texan saloon. There's a big dining area and a bar off to one side. There's lots of dark wood paneling on the walls, skulls of bulls with horns hanging on the walls, wagon wheels, and other old west paraphernalia as decor. There were a lot of couples and families with kids dining here.

We each ordered a soft drink and started browsing the menu. We were both in the mood for steak. My friend ordered the 12 ounce prime rib, she chose the sweet potato and their signature Wedge salad. I chose the 14 ounce Texas rib-eye steak medium rare, Texas rice, and house salad with thousand island dressing. The soup or salad and side dish are all included in the entree.

We were brought our salads right away. I really like Lonestar's salads. My house salad had lettuce, red onion rings, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, croutons, slivers of red lettuce, and thousand island dressing. It tasted quite crisp and fresh and was pretty sweet. My friend's Wedge salad is essentially a quarter of iceberg lettuce with diced tomatoes and bleu cheese. Besides looking quite interesting, she found it pretty tasty.

The fresh baked rolls arrived a few moments later. The warm fluffy rolls are about the size of a lopsided softball. It was accompanied by whipped honey butter. I probably would have eaten this for dinner alone if I didn't order anything. These rolls with honey butter are quite addictive.

Our entrees arrived after we finished with out salads. My friend's prime rib was supposed to be medium rare, but looked more like medium. It was tasty, but a bit firm. The baked sweet potato was huge and could have been it's own meal. It was loaded with honey butter and cinnamon mixed with sugar. It was really sweet! My Texas ribeye is a nicely grilled medium rare 14 ounce steak. I chose the Texas rice, which is savory brown rice with peas and mushrooms. My steak was nice and juicy and hit the spot! We had no room for any dessert.

At the hour, every hour, the music blared up and the servers broke out into a few minutes of country line dancing.

The total bill came out to $45 before tip. That includes the 2 soft drinks and our 2 entrees. Really not too bad pricing. Besides the prime rib being a bit firm, I found everything else perfect. I often dine here as it's one of my favorite restaurants. I highly recommend Lonestar Steakhouse & Saloon.
