Lone Star Texas Grill

Experience the big & bold tastes of Texas, right here in Downtown Rideau! Lone Star Texas Grill is Ontario’s original Texas-inspired restaurant, serving Canada’s award-winning fajitas for over 30 years! Enjoy sizzling wood fire grilled fajitas, steaks, ribs, burgers, Tex-Mex and more. Served with only the freshest ingredients made daily, including house-made signature sauces, and freshly baked tortillas to complete the authentic recipes.

Flashback to 1986 when two football players from Texas found themselves in the nation’s capital. They loved Ottawa (yes, even the winters) …but only one thing was missing: The Texan food they loved from back home. They took matters into their own hands and opened up the very first Lone Star at Baseline and Fisher in 1986. Since then, the restaurant chain has expanded across the province, and has been calling the Downtown Rideau location ‘home’ since 2006!

“The team and I are fortunate enough to be able to work in the heart of the nation’s capital, and have the pleasure of serving both local and global guests.” says General Manager Gray ‘Granger’ Johnson.  “At any given time you can be serving local business people celebrating a birthday or special occasion, and someone visiting Canada for the first time from across the globe.”

There’s a challenge and a thrill to satisfying the different needs and desires of these guests. “An ideal guest will always speak their mind and hold us accountable in providing great tasting freshly made meals every time. When there is something more we can do to make your experience fantastic, we want to hear about it!”

The most memorable day in the vibrant and ever-changing Downtown Rideau location was the Championship winning game by the Toronto Raptors in 2019. “The atmosphere inside the restaurant was electric. Young and old, people from near and far, staff and guests were all cheering together and celebrating the win.” Gray recalls.

Another big win is a current promotion being offered that highlights the Coast-to-Coast Taco Tour menu, through to the end of September 2020. “We’ve rounded up our favourite regionally-inspired tacos! 5 different tacos to choose from, including the new East Coast Lobster or California Grilled Avocado Tacos. No passport or packing required!” says Granger. All pairs well with ice-cold beer, and frozen margaritas for the best Tex-Mex experience, North of the border.

As the summer comes to a close and patios shut down, the team is thrilled to continue offering dine-in, along with take-out and delivery. “We have fantastic take-out products and our fajitas are always a crowd pleaser for family dinners and groups alike. We also have introduced new Mar-Go-Rita kits: Lone Star’s signature margaritas in a kit to make the perfect cocktail at home.”

Go big AND go home!
