Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon, Corona

Steak good.

I get a little primitive when I think about steak, and when my inner carnivore growls, Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon in Corona is the place to go.

If you like to smother your steak in steak sauce, then this is not the place for you.  The steak is too good to ruin it with steak sauce.  This is especially true of my personal favorite, the Cajun Ribeye, which is a 16 oz. steak marinated in Cajun spices and mesquite-grilled.  This is one of my favorite steaks anywhere, and in my opinion, is by far the best steak served at any casual dining steak house I’ve ever tried.

If Cajun isn’t your style, there are many other steaks to choose from ranging from the 9 oz. San Antonio Sirloin to the 20 oz. Porterhouse.  There is also much more than steak.  Prime rib, lobster, salmon, ribs, pork chops, burgers… I can’t say I’ve tried everything on the menu, but everything I have tried is great.

There are also great appetizers and salads.  My favorites are the Lettuce Wedge and the Wild Fire Shrimp, which are small jalapeno spiced fried shrimp served with a side of ranch.  We also love the rolls, which are baked in the restaurant.

Lone Star is good for all crowds.  There is a full bar in the middle of the restaurant for the grown-ups, and the rest of the restaurant is suitable for families.  Kids get separate menus with activity pages and crayons, and there are TVs throughout the restaurant which usually show sports.  The servers keep it lively by doing a line dance during the dinner hours.  This is a casual restaurant and I’ve seen people wear everything from flip-flops and shorts to suits and ties.

Steak good.  Lone Star steak great.
