The Lone Star Steak House chain has been around for at least ten years in Fargo.
When the Fargo version first opened, it was all the rage and getting a seat for dinner a time consuming task. Since it's rather expensive, the dramatic reduction in patronage may be due to the ailing economy. There may also be other reasons.
Don't get me wrong: it's still an excellent upscale restaurant. Their steaks, of which they offer a nice variety, are first rate. Chicken and pork chops are also offered as entrees and are very tasty, due, I suspect to the mesquite grill) as well as some excellent. Alas, there's no longer all your can eat ribs on Fridays and Mondays but the normal serving should satisfy all but the biggest appetites. One of my favorite entrees was beef or chicken kabob, but, alas, no longer available. Shrimp is offered either as an entrée or with other meat to form an entrée. Their prime rib is now offered only on weekends: it used to be excellent, but I don't often eat out on weekends.
One of their unique offerings is a baked potato as one of the sides, served with cinnamon and butter. Their soups, particularly chili, chicken pot pie, steak are excellent starters as well as a page full of appetizers(hot wings, mozeralla sticks, shrimp and much more). Unfortunately, my favorite soup, black bean, is no longer offered.
There are also a variety of hamburgers and other sandwiches offered, and they are good.
The salted in the shell peanuts have re-appeared after a several year hiatus, only now they come with an extra bucket in which one deposits the shells.; I am happy to report that the customers are very cooperative in this: perhaps even the most distractred realize that this is a use it or lose it situation.
The servers are youthful friendly and helpful. There is a full bar. Expect to pay about $45 for dinner for two without drinks.
