In September 2012 Josh Hale and Scott Studer decided to buy the historic landmark steakhouse. Both having a background in restaurant and catering the guys decided day one that they were going to add a catering to Lone Star Tavern and Steakhouse.
Lone Star is now so much more than just a Tavern or just a Steakhouse. It is a family restaurant that can easily accommodate large parties, has many other options other than steak, some amazing desserts like Buttermilk Chess pie and Amaretto Bread Pudding. We offer daily & lunch specials, custom catering and some of the best sweet tea in Waco, maybe even Texas.
If you haven’t tried Waco’s Oldest Steakhouse, Lone Star Tavern and Steakhouse & Catering then what are you waiting for?

We were looking for a place for our Anniversary and chose to try the oldest steakhouse in Waco. We had an amazing waitress Sydney who was so helpful and gave us great recommendations. We had the Ribeye for 2 which is two 10 oz ribeyes with salad and sides for two for $35 with two rolls. It is a lot of food for the price. The steaks were so tender and flavorful. You would not be disappointed with the food. The staff were so much fun. Especially Joni who was a sweetheart. We did try the brownie and it was okay. A little dry and a little burnt but that does not take away from the meal. Definitely a locals hangout and definitely worth checking out. You will love it

Ordered the fried shrimp (8). Not happy. You could tell they were pre bagged (like HEB brand). The okera were under cooked. Not a good experience for a first time visit. Will not be coming back.

Ate ribeye with baked potatoes. At $18+ it’s delicious and that’s dinner price. My husband had steak medallions with onions and mushrooms. That was tender and delicious as well!! I highly recommend this place. Not a pretentious restaurant, just great service and great food!!

The service was excellent and everyone was very nice. We ordered the the 16oz hand cur ribeye and was not impressed. The meat was tough and had no flavor. Mine actually tasted like it was starting to turn. A lot of gristle as well. The steaks were cooked perfect but besides that not so good. I remember this place as a kid and it was delicious. I was told it had gotten better but was sadly disappointed. I hope things turn around for this place.

Absolutely disappointed! Food was ehh and some was gross. Found a hair in our food. Told the lady and with no care said I’m sorry about that, I’ll let them know. Use to be great food. I will not be going back! I’d rather go to McDonald’s. Not even close to happy or impressed.

This was the first visit since I knew it was sold. So I don’t know if it was sold again or not. Anyway, we did the cotton top early dinner think. We were driving into Waco and we were hungry and why not. First thing I notice it was nicer but it still have the same look and fell and you still filled out you own menu. We did the Saturday special Ribeye for 2, wife got grilled green beans and I got Steak veggies and we both got house salad and a beer. It’s note your 5 star restaurant but the service was fast, friendly, Steak was tasty, could have been more rare but it’s was yummy. We both agree the star of show the grilled green beans wow yuuuuuumy. The grilled favor went well the the beans. All in all, for sure it a stop by’er again for sure good buddy. Can’t remember for sure but it was less than $50. I already deleted the photo but it’s on here I added the caption Ribeye Steak for 2 and steamed veggies
