Lone Star Texas Grill

Lone Star Texas Grill is a Tex-Mex restaurant located at 1000-32 Colonnade Rd in Nepean, Ontario, part of a small chain of Texas-inspired grills serving fajitas, steaks, ribs, burgers, and Tex-Mex dishes. This Nepean location serves the Colonnade Road commercial corridor, drawing diners from the surrounding office parks, retail plazas, and residential neighbourhoods of west Ottawa. It can be reached at 613-727-1966 or through its official website, and it operates as part of the broader Restaurants category serving the Nepean area.

The dining concept centres on wood-fire grilled fajitas served sizzling at the table, alongside a menu built around freshly baked tortillas and house-made sauces. Rather than a quick-serve counter, the format is a full-service, sit-down restaurant with a dining room and, seasonally, a patio — a style of dining well suited to Nepean's mix of office workers looking for a sit-down lunch or dinner and families in the surrounding residential pockets looking for a casual night out without a long drive into downtown Ottawa.

What to expect from the menu

The menu is anchored by fajitas — chicken, beef, or combination platters cooked over a wood fire and brought to the table still sizzling — alongside grilled steaks, ribs, burgers, and a range of Tex-Mex staples. Guacamole prepared tableside and freshly baked tortillas are part of the standard approach to the food, rather than a limited-time promotion.

Fajitas and grill items

Fajita platters remain the signature order, cooked over an open wood fire and served on a hot skillet. Beyond fajitas, the kitchen also turns out steaks, baby back ribs, and burgers for guests who want something outside the Tex-Mex core of the menu.

Tex-Mex sides and shareables

Guacamole, salsas, and other Tex-Mex shareables round out the table, designed for groups splitting several dishes rather than single-plate ordering. A kids' menu is also available, which makes the format workable for family dinners as well as adult get-togethers.

Planning a visit: budget, timing, and what a typical meal looks like

A visit to a Tex-Mex grill of this kind typically runs in the mid-range casual-dining bracket rather than fast-food or fine-dining pricing, reflecting the cooked-to-order, tableside-service format. Guests can expect table service from arrival to the bill, with sizzling fajita platters as the centrepiece of most tables.

Best times to go

Given its location along a Nepean commercial corridor near office parks, weekday lunch service tends to draw a working crowd looking for a sit-down break, while evenings and weekends bring a more mixed crowd of families and groups. As with most full-service restaurants, Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest windows, so arriving earlier or being flexible on timing can mean a shorter wait for a table.

Dining room and patio

The restaurant operates a standard dining room with seasonal patio seating when weather allows, which is a relevant consideration in the Ottawa area given the region's distinct four-season climate — patio dining is generally a spring-through-fall option, with indoor seating the year-round default through the colder months.

Reservations and walk-ins

Reservations can be arranged directly with the restaurant, which is useful for larger groups or peak evening hours when tables turn over more slowly. Walk-in guests are accommodated as tables become available, following the usual pattern for casual full-service dining.

Getting there and paying

The restaurant is located at 1000-32 Colonnade Rd in Nepean, within reach of the surrounding business and residential areas of west Ottawa. Various payment methods are accepted, and guests can call ahead at 613-727-1966 to confirm hours or ask about the current menu before heading out.
