How 'bout ... Lone Star Tavern

[ Introducing "How 'bout …" the logical extension of our tagline "Where you wanna eat?" Because we've all been there when someone says "Where you wanna eat?" and then everyone stands around a little awkwardly until someone cautiously offers up "How 'bout …" and then the name of a restaurant. It's also a way for us to highlight the restaurants that we want to highlight. Here it goes. ]

Lone Star Tavern is a true Texas experience — delicious steaks, burgers, sides and cold beer in a rustic and comfortable atmosphere. Walk in, complete a menu sheet and settle in to dine among friendly people and good country music from the jukebox. It as American as it gets, but even better, it's a good slice of Texas.

It's great for ... nights out when you want a steak in a comfortable, non-pretentious atmosphere. Fancy steakhouses with tablecloths are great, but every now and then you want to order beer by the pitcher and squeeze your butter onto your baked potato.

We recommend … the Branding Iron, cooked medium rare with french fries and blackberry cobbler with ice cream for dessert.

If you're on a budget ... Lone Star Tavern offers fantastic lunch specials like a hamburger or chili dog for $4.95 and chicken fried steak or chopped steak for $5.95.

The kids will dig ... the juke box. So will people who dig 1970s and 80s country music.
