Lone Star Botany - Maungakiekie-Tamaki

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.

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.

Pretty quick service! Appreciated the buttons on the table which was easier than waving down workers. The garlic bread definitely left something to be desired really yummy and soft bread, but definitely could do with more buttery ness and garlicky ness as well. Could really only faintly taste the garlic! The New Porker was really delicious wonderfully crunchy crackling and soft pork meat. Loved all the sides as they were complimentary to the pork. Great portion sizes for dinner and would recommend for anyone looking for a hearty meal.

Had a wonderful time here last night, friendly staff, efficient and polite, very nice meal, we all had the venison which was delicious, all for a very reasonable price, great for families too.
