Redneck Ribs: The Dish That Made Us Famous
There’s a reason Redneck Ribs are known all across New Zealand. We’re talking about 600 grams of juicy pork spare ribs, lovingly blanched in honey and spices to lock in flavour and tenderness. Then, they’re fire-blasted to crispy, caramelised perfection and smothered in our signature hoisin, orange, and sesame seed sauce.
This isn’t just food; it’s a full-throttle flavour experience.
Served with our golden buffalo chips, the Redneck Ribs are a Lone Star icon — a must-order for first-timers and returning regulars alike. When someone searches for “foods near me restaurant” or “food near me” while craving something bold and satisfying, Redneck Ribs are the answer.
Pair them with a cold beer or one of our signature cocktails, and you've got yourself a feed worth writing home about.
It’s no exaggeration: these ribs are what built the legend of Lone Star.
Gerhard Burger: Fuel for Legends
Named after the legendary Ferrari F1 driver Gerhard Berger, the Gerhard Burger is built for champions. This isn’t your average roadside burger — it’s stacked with flavour, speed, and satisfaction.
We start with a beef pattie grilled to perfection, add layers of red onions, Swiss cheese, bacon, gherkins, fresh lettuce, tomato, and a healthy dollop of creamy aioli, all served in a toasted sourdough bun. It’s a juicy, crunchy, creamy combo that races past ordinary burgers and straight into flavour victory.
Vegetarian? No problem. We offer a delish vegetable pattie swap at no extra cost, because no one should miss out on the Gerhard experience.
If you're hunting for the best food near me with unbeatable variety and a menu that celebrates quality, Lone Star’s got the pedal to the metal.
Dixie Fries: Secret No More
Once a secret staff favourite, these loaded beauties earned their way onto the main menu — and quickly became a fan obsession. The Dixie Fries are a game-changer when you're craving something indulgent and moreish.
Crispy golden fries are smothered in our signature Dixie sauce, topped with crispy bacon and finished with a generous cheese melt that binds everything together in gooey, salty-sweet perfection.
Perfect for sharing (but honestly, you won’t want to), this dish brings the heat and heart of Lone Star to your table. Whether you’re looking for something quick, tasty, and shareable while searching for local restaurants close to me, these fries deliver the goods.
Midnight Nachos: The Ultimate Crowd-Pleaser
Midnight munchies or midday cravings — Midnight Nachos are a hit any time of day. We pile high a stack of crispy corn chips, load them with spicy beans, melty cheese, spicy guacamole, sour cream, and jalapeños, then let you choose your protein: chicken, beef, or roasted seasonal vegetables.
Each bite is a combination of crunch, heat, creaminess, and zest. Whether you’re vegetarian, a meat lover, or somewhere in between, these nachos have your name on them.
Next time you're scrolling for “restaurants near me” or “foods near me restaurant” and feeling indecisive, nachos are always a safe (and satisfying) bet.
