Ordering Guide & Tips
Lone Star Steakhouse is closed. The US chain filed for bankruptcy in February 2017, was liquidated that September, and its last mainland restaurant — in Mount Vernon, Illinois — shut in March 2019. Exactly one restaurant still trades under the name: an independently owned franchise in Tamuning, Guam, open since 1995. There is no current Lone Star Steakhouse menu, because the company that published one no longer exists. This page is the record: what happened to the chain, what its last published menu contained, and what became of its gift cards, hours and deals.
Is Lone Star Steakhouse Still Open?
No — not as a chain. Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon was founded in 1989 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and grew to a peak of about 267 restaurants in 1998. The company was taken private in 2006, and the chain then shrank for a decade: about 152 restaurants remained by early 2014, and 112 by September 2015. In December 2015 the chain was sold to the newly formed Day Star Restaurant Group, with 78 locations left.
The end came in 2017. Lone Star filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on February 13, 2017. Its remaining restaurants were sold to a new owner on July 31, 2017, and on September 7, 2017 the case was converted to Chapter 7 liquidation — the company was wound up, not reorganised. The last four mainland restaurants then closed one by one:
- Asheville, North Carolina — closed July 2, 2018
- Middletown, Ohio — closed September 2018
- Mount Pleasant, Michigan — closed October 5, 2018
- Mount Vernon, Illinois — closed March 2019, the last mainland location
The chain’s official website outlived most of the restaurants: lonestarsteakhouse.com was still listing the final four states into 2019. The domain is now dead as a company site and redirects to an unrelated page. There is no official Lone Star Steakhouse website, menu, ordering flow or location finder in 2026 — anything still online under the chain’s name is an archived page, a leftover listing for a closed restaurant, or a different business entirely (see the disambiguation section below).
The One Survivor: Tamuning, Guam
One restaurant still serves under the Lone Star name: Lone Star Steakhouse in Tamuning, Guam. It opened in May 1995 as a franchise and is locally owned and operated, independent of the US parent — which is why the parent’s bankruptcy did not close it. It celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025 and is still trading in October 2026: a merchant listing for the restaurant runs an offer into March 2027, and its own page stays active. Its web presence is that page only — its old standalone website now redirects to it, and the Guam restaurant publishes no website and no online menu.
Third-party write-ups of the Guam restaurant name long-running dishes there — Texas Tumbleweeds (onion rings), a bone-in ribeye and Delmonico steaks, and Banana Crispers for dessert. Those are travel and magazine write-ups, not an official menu: the restaurant publishes no item list or prices online, so this page records them as narrative, not as a menu.
On the practical details, the record has one honest gap. Listings place the restaurant on South Marine Corps Drive in Tamuning, but they disagree on the street number — two different numbers circulate, and no official source exists to settle which is current, so this page prints neither. Its published phone number is (671) 646-6061, and third-party profiles list its hours as 11:00 AM–10:00 PM daily (see the Hours section for the level of that information).
Not LongHorn, Not Lone Star Texas Grill
Two other chains are not this one. LongHorn Steakhouse is a separate, still-operating steakhouse chain — the similar name is a coincidence, the two companies were never connected, and if you were looking for a working LongHorn menu, it is covered separately on this site. Lone Star Texas Grill is a separate, living Canadian chain in Ontario that publishes its own current menus; it has no connection to Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon or to the Guam restaurant, and none of its menu data appears on this page. Texas Land & Cattle was a third, different chain — it was sold alongside Lone Star in the 2015 deal and is not covered here either.
What the Last Lone Star Menu Contained
The last official menu evidence the chain left is its own menu page, preserved in the web archive with a last good capture dated August 22, 2018. The page was titled “Menu & Nutrition Facts” and was a category overview — it named the chain’s menu sections and a handful of headline dishes, and it carried no item prices. Its location search, by then, listed only Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina and Ohio: the last four states. The six sections were:
- Starters — the appetiser section.
- Cool Greens & Hot Pots — soups and salads; the page named the Sirloin Steak & Wedge salad and Texas Chili.
- Texas Steak of Mind — the steaks; the page named the New York Strip, Texas Ribeye, Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignon and Sirloin.
- Texas Plates — chicken, ribs and salmon plates.
- Thirst Quenchers / The Watering Hole — bottomless soda and drink specials; The Watering Hole was the restaurants’ bar area.
- Desserts — the closing section; the surviving capture names no individual desserts.
Before that page, the chain published full standalone menu documents: dinner and lunch menu PDFs from 2006–2007 are the last ones preserved in the archive. Nothing newer exists. Lone Star was a lunch-and-dinner house — it published no breakfast menu, and restaurants opened at 11:00 AM. The 2018 overview shows no separate kids’ section either; this page does not reconstruct one from older documents.
The Signature Dishes, at the Level the Record Supports
The dishes people search for most — the Texas Rose, the chain’s fried-onion signature; its cheese fries; the dinner rolls; the chicken pot pie soup and parmesan chicken — come from the chain’s pre-2017 menus. They survive only in third-party reproductions of old printed menus and in aggregator listings for restaurants that have since closed, not in any official document the chain left behind. This page therefore names them as history only: no prices and no calorie figures are printed for them, because no official source for either survives. The wedge salad is the exception that proves the rule — the Sirloin Steak & Wedge is named on the official 2018 page itself, as listed above. Prime rib is named in write-ups of the Guam restaurant’s menu, not on the last chain menu page; no family-meal format is named on that page.
Prices
There are no Lone Star Steakhouse prices to publish, and this page invents none. The chain’s last published menu page (2018) carried no prices at all, and no current prices exist because no chain restaurants remain. Prices still floating around the web for this name — on old aggregator menu pages for locations in places like Mount Pleasant, Michigan — are pre-closure figures for restaurants that shut in 2018 or earlier; they were never the chain’s published national prices and they are not reproduced here. The one operating restaurant, in Guam, publishes no prices online.
Hours
A closed chain has no hours. No Lone Star Steakhouse timetable exists today, no location is open now on the mainland, and there are no holiday hours to check — every mainland restaurant, including for Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving, is permanently closed. For the historical pattern only: the schedules preserved from the chain’s final years open at 11:00 AM — an archival printed-menu reproduction preserves one location’s hours as 11:00 AM–10:00 PM Sunday–Thursday and 11:00 AM–11:00 PM Friday–Saturday. Treat that as history, not a timetable.
The surviving Guam restaurant is a different matter: third-party profiles and a merchant listing give its hours as 11:00 AM–10:00 PM daily, with the merchant listing noting it is closed on Christmas. The restaurant publishes no hours itself — those figures are third-party listings, stated at that level, and its own page is the place to confirm them before a visit.
Gift Cards
Lone Star Steakhouse gift cards are no longer honored. The bankrupt company stated in 2017 that because its remaining restaurants were sold to a new owner on July 31, 2017, Lone Star gift cards would no longer be honoured — and the company was liquidated two months later. The old chain site ran a balance-check portal while it lived; it died with the site, and there is no issuer left to check a balance with or to claim a refund from. This page prints no balance phone number or balance website, because none exists for this program.
One point is genuinely open: whether the independent Guam franchise accepts old mainland-issued chain gift cards has never been stated by the restaurant in any official channel. Nothing on this page asserts that it does or that it does not — if you hold an old card, the Guam restaurant itself is the only place that can answer.
Nutrition & Allergens
No official Lone Star Steakhouse nutrition or allergen document survives. The chain’s last menu page was titled “Menu & Nutrition Facts”, but no underlying nutrition table can be retrieved from it, and a full inventory of the documents the chain ever hosted on its official site contains its 2006–2007 menu PDFs and corporate filings — no nutrition chart and no allergen chart, at any date. Calorie compilations for this chain that circulate on diet and calorie-counting sites are third-party reproductions of pre-2017 data: not official then in any verifiable edition, and not usable now, so no figures from them are printed here.
The allergen position follows from the same record. The chain published no surviving allergen menu and no gluten-free menu that can be verified today, so this page states nothing about the old chain’s allergen handling or cross-contact practices — there is no official source to state it from. For the Guam restaurant, which publishes no allergen information either, anyone with a food allergy has to ask the restaurant directly; nothing here substitutes for that.
Deals, Coupons & Specials
There are no Lone Star Steakhouse deals to redeem. The coupons, printable coupons, promo codes, specials, early-bird offers, happy-hour listings, kids-eat-free nights, birthday offers and military, senior and veterans discounts attached to this name all belonged to the US chain, and every one of them ended with the restaurants — the last of which closed in March 2019. Coupon pages still circulating under the chain’s name are leftovers pointing at closed restaurants; no offer on them is redeemable anywhere, and no rewards program survives the liquidated company.
The Guam restaurant runs its own offers, separate from the dead chain: a card-network merchant listing for the Tamuning restaurant currently offers a complimentary Texas Tumbleweeds appetizer with a main dish, running January 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027, and the restaurant posts its own promotions on its page. Those are one independent restaurant’s offers, in Guam only — not a chain program.
Quick Answers
Looking for a specific store? Every mainland location is closed, and location records live in the directory — this page is the chain’s status record, not a store list. The one open restaurant is in Tamuning, Guam. Lone Star never ran a separate public catering or delivery program that survives it, and the Guam restaurant’s current service options are not published online.
