LOVE the way the restaurant is now. It has always been a secret unknown until recently. I have been eating there for almost 10 years. I have only waited twice in line, A competing steakhouse down the road closed their doors, which sent their customers over. So, now I am sure a line is standard fare. No big deal. Service is always sent with a smile. A manager has always come over to introduce himself. Drinks are usually refilled without delay. I would say out of 10, only one meal was sent back because it was overcooked. Other than that, our meals have come out cooked to order. Salads are always fresh and almost never any browned edges, a sign of old lettuce. The only complaint I have, is sometimes the Texas Rose will come out under done. I usually ask them ahead to cook a little longer. I definitely recommend them. I have to say, there is a large competitor directly across the street, and quite honestly, I have never had a great experience there. This is definitely my favorite casual steakhouse in Tampa. less

Boy has this chain gone to hell or what. Once was one of the best tasting steaks you could get(back when they had peaunuts and frendly wait staff). In the late 90's they changed their steak supplier or the way they cook it and these days you can get better tasting meat at Mcdonalds.Did away with the peaunuts because someone may slip on the shells and sue them(how weak is that?) Whoever is making these managment decisions is absolulty stupid.You need to close down and start again. No waiter over 16 years old and very unfriendly, not to mention very bright. Rest in peace Lone Star, you have lost alot of fans. less
