A much different space to the Newmarket restaurant, this Lone Star's upstairs bar is great when waiting for your table or just as a separation between diners and drinkers. The prices are still a bit too high though...

great atmosphere, wonderful service and yummy food! Will definitely return. thanks Lone Star

Food 10/10. waiters 5/10. atmosphere.... What atmosphere?

I headed to the Lone Star North Shore last night with a gaggle of work colleagues desperate for a little excitement from our shift work where our boss makes us work in silence in work pens that would make battery pigs happy. And instead they screwed up our booking so didn't seat us for an hour, then took 30 minutes to take our orders. They were so slow with the drinks that we went to the bar and ordered them again, only for two sets to turn up. The food when it turned up was average at best, my quesadilla was burnt, and the other dishes around the table seemed packed so full that you couldn't see where to begin. We had taken so long that you could see the staff amassing around looking on wishing we'd leave but we hadn't even been offered desert. Which would have been a good thing because the cheesecake special I had was inedible. And considering the staff were desperate to go, we had to ask the waitress three times for the bill. Still had a good night, good company and all.

Make sure you are ravenous when you book to go to the Lone Star as the meals are huge! Their marinated pork ribs are something to look forward to....as long as you don't mind getting a little grubby from all the yummy marinade dripping over your fingers! Tasty indeed!

The Hauraki Corner restaurant's atmosphere is fun and friendly. Great spot for a gathering of friends or family.
