Lone Star Burger Bar

The food was delicious, with perfect flavor and spiciness, the service was about ten minutes, perfect if you're not in a rush. The atmosphere was very Texas themed and the country music have a great vibe.

We went here for burgers based on the great reviews and had the worst, saltiest, oily burgers ever. Somehow, they tasted like hot wilted lettuce, even though they didn’t have lettuce on them. Our mouths were burning from the salt. And it was American cheese, but we weren’t told it would be fake cheese. I can’t remember the last time I had American cheese in Portland. 🤷🏻‍♀️Also, my iced tea was rancid and when I told the bartender, she said, “Oh, yeah… that was the end of that one.” and made a face like “ew, disgusting.” When I worked in food service, we learned that iced tea that’s older that two days can kill people with bacteria. Not okay. I had a sick stomach by the evening.

Even at lunch, the bar was dark and the music was super loud. I like dive bars, but this place had an awkward layout and kind of a depressing feel. It was the day after Christmas, so maybe that’s why the bartender was so grumpy, but she was also sick and coughing behind the counter, so maybe she couldn’t get the time off that she deserved, being sick. I’d be grumpy too. Anyhow - that was our first and last experience at Lone Star. Never again.

Highly recommend the Juicy Lucy. A cheese-stuffed burger 🤤

This place needs some serious sound dampening. Was in there when 2 drunk guys were yelling/talking to each other. Almost unbearable and the woman who was there also left as the guys really should have been refused service or asked to leave.

I'm not one for hyperbole, but this is hands down the best burger, fries, and onion rings I've ever had in my life. No hyperbole. I will remember that juicy burger patty, incredible bun, and the tallow fries until the day I die. Literally. Can't wait to come back.

Favorite burger in Portland. A big, juicy burger, and the green chili burger is stellar.

Pretty disappointed. With a huge Texas flag on the wall, I expected bold flavor, but the food was pretty bland and not worth the price. The onion rings had good reviews, but they just tasted like straight grease. Overall, the quality didn’t match the hype or the cost.

So, so good. The fries might be some of the best I’ve ever had

Such great burgers. Friendly staff that make solid drinks. Honestly the green chile burger might be my favorite burger in Portland.

Fantastic place! Nice to see someone who isn’t riding the ‘smash burger’ wave and doing a legit burger with all the fixin’s.

Super chill vibe, awesome bartender and locals at the bar. My kid sent me this place because he was curious and he lives out of state! I had the best coney dog in a long time! Coney sauce was perfect, no weird flavor or odd spice like other places in Portland. Perfect use of yellow mustard on the dog and the burger. I had to write this because it's the best burger I've had since my home in AK at Club Paris, phenomenal flavor and perfect temp! Thank you...oh, and shoestring fries too! Should have added the rootbeer float to dip my fries in..dammit. The praline candy topped it off! Delicious!!

I didn't know that Lone Star was going to be the quality of the burger I had. I don't know if its was an off night or what but the burger was under sauced, possibly missing some ingredients (ordered the special) and the meat didn't seem like it even heard of salt. 14-16 for a no frills burger spot that quite expensive.
