Lone Star Rib House Hawthorn

Lone Star Rib House brings a taste of the American heartland to Hawthorn with smoke, spice and plenty of swagger.

Here, the grill does the talking, and plates arrive big-hearted, built for sharing and savouring. Expect bold flavours, classic comforts and a relaxed, come-as-you-are rhythm that suits a casual catch-up or an easy weeknight feast.

The kitchen tips its hat to Tex-Mex and barbecue traditions, from slow-cooked lamb shanks to Lone Star nachos topped with chilli con carne, cheese and a corn and pineapple salsa. Starters lean crowd-pleasing, with cajun onion rings and buffalo wings primed for dipping, while loaded favourites such as honky tonk fries and Amarillo fries keep the tempo high.

Burgers run from a classic angus beef burger to the spicy crunch of Nashville chicken, while the schnitzel showdown serves panko crumbed schnitzel and a no-nonsense chicken parmigiana.

Gather your crew, bring a hearty appetite, and settle in for a flavour ride worth the detour. Giddy up to good times.
