10/10 + for fantastic, top quality service from warm & friendly staff who were super attentive from the moment we walked in to when we left at the end of the evening. The food was delicious, my husbands meal was huge but that suited him perfectly! I had a smaller size meal with fresh terakihi which was still substantial but so good I didn’t leave a scrap on my plate & the Banoffie Pie was to die for!! Awesome atmosphere too.. We’ll definitely be back :)

Went with a large group here. Meals were too large, too expensive and mediocre. Very noisy and had to get our own drinks as the wait was to long. Four out of six people that ordered chicken was sent back as they were still pink in the middle -They were not charged which was good. Over all average

I like the meals, however the atmosphere is not so great. My partner took me here for my birthday and after getting seated under the stairs next to the door, which was freezing. We could not even hear each other talk as it was so noisey we left before ordering. I have dined here twice since and enjoyed the food.The tables are quite close together. I would definetly return unless you want something quiet or romantic.

The place looked great and had a very nice atmosphere. One of the better looking chain restaurants. The meal for the size and price was not worth it as my wife had the blackfoot fish which was over cooked and tasteless plus served with plain white rice and a green salad without dressing.
Service was pretty good as one of the wait staff got distracted when we asked for sauce so she gave us dessert on the house.

Not recommended at all. We had vege stack. And the potato fritter smells like pre-used oil. The smell gives me intuition that it was either done on the same pan they make beef or something. We told them we are vegeterian. When I told the waitress about it she said no it is not done in other oil. But did not explain the reason of bad smell in it. And taste was not there at all. Too much of cheap tomato sauce spread all over the plate. Bad experience. Not recommended.

This is the better restaurant of the chain. Service was nice and the food came out in good timing. The Milky Bar Kid dessert is my favourite! I don’t like the Lone Star restaurants in Auckland as the staff radiate an arrogant attitude. Although it does have the feeling of a chain restaurant, I like knowing the food is reliable.

I can honestly say that I have been 4 times and to date, I have never had a good meal. Very disappointed considering it’s good reputation. I have ruled this restaurant out, work parties are what takes me there. Overcooked meals / long waits / desert over 45 mins. The only positive thing is that they do give free meals when they make the mistake.

Atmosphere was ok. Food nice, if a little overcooked. Service with an (insincere) smile. Quite a chain-restaurant feel.

Wonderful huge meals. 2/4 eat Gluten Free only and although the menu has only one choice – staff are knowledgeable and they have an excellent list of allergens in each dish and alternatives – just ask. Highly recommend.
