Lone Star Texas Grill

After eating all over in Ottawa, we chose our last meal to be a bit different. A texmex restaurant in canada was waht we came up with. Again, empty due to mandates, so exceptional service. Honestly everywhere we went staff was super friendly. Canadians know how to treat people it seems. We ordered many margaritas (ofcourse) which they had several flavors to choose from even a few unique kinds. They were very tasty, but questionable on alcohol levels. To drink as many as we did, we should have been stumbling home, but I guess they got us to order more this way too. We gor nachos as app and ofcoirse steaks for dinner. Menu was decent but I believe a few more options and some additional choice of sides are needed. My steak was great, but the wifes was very under cooked for her preference. Waiter took it back and the manager delivered it back himself. Again, good service. The eaitwr came back and said he took half off our order as well. Not needed nor did we ask, but very cool of him to offer. So we ordered another round of drinks and churos for dessert. Honestly the churos were the major highlight for me. Best I've ever had (I've never been to Mexico or even California or Texas for that matter though) I liked the dipping sauces if chocolate and caramel they came with. I mixed the two and way over ate. The decire was pretty nice and felt very open and personal. I liked that even if the place was packed, I didn't feel it. Prices were par for steakhouse type restaurants. This was our biggest bill of the trip by far. Not top of my list of places to visit in Ottawa especially if your from america and even less if your from the south west as this place would not compare, but it was nice to relax, get great service and a good meal that was honest feeling as well as a different experience rolled into one.

This place is what you would expect in terms of TexMex Grill fare. Positives include lots of choices for sides, my daughter enjoyed fresh grilled veggies as a side and I must admit onion rings were super good if you like them crisp and crunchy. The margarita was very tasty and the fish tacos were good enough. My husband enjoyed his chimichanga. This place is a fair bet but a bit worn around the edges.

Usually super happy with our orders from here. Unfortunately tonight that was not the case. The crispy chicken and steak fajita bowls we ordered tonight were unfortunately unacceptable. It looked like they had already been partially eaten or were leftovers. Both bowls had barely any rice or lettuce. We usually love everything we order from here and have ordered these bowls before but unfortunately after the quality we received tonight we will be ordering from elsewhere.
