The Lone Star Saloon

Great place to eat nice atmosphere the only thing that was NOT cool was the uniform police officer standing at the end of the bar while your trying to enjoy your beer I’ll say it again not cool

Has a cute little band stage and a nice little facility. Have been there a few years back for dancing and drinks with friends which was very smoky but decent. Went to a «steak» night a few months back and we weren’t impressed. If you’re looking for mediocre food, then you’ll be okay. The service was decent but we were told by the bartender, «we are racist here.» She wasn’t kidding!!! We witnessed them serve a black gentleman with contempt and inappropriate comments. We were disgusted, paid promptly and won’t be going back. Unacceptable!

How did we not know about this place yet?!
It has all of my favorite things to have with a bar:
–live music nights
— a working jukebox with a huge selection
–big screen TVS
–Amazing food
–local beers on tap
–great, friendly staff
My husband and I found this place through Unilocal when I knew that I wanted a really good burger and that I also wanted to shoot some pool. I was not disappointed.
The food:
HOLY HAMBURGER! We split their regular burger, on a jalepeno bun and substituted the fries for onion rings. I am only disappointed that I didn’t get a whole one for myself. The bun was probably the best bun I have had in a long time. It was soft and buttery and the jalepenos were just right– not too overpowering. The whole burger itself was so good that hubby didn’t even want to put condiments on it. I left mine loaded up and added my regular ketchup and mustard. I woke up the next morning wanting to go back for a breakfast burger. No lie– That good!
The onion rings were handmade fresh in the kitchen, and we could tell not only by their appearance but from their taste. They were delicious. A salty batter really complimented the cooked onions. This is where I agreed with hubby: they were so good that I ate them without ketchup. That is a first for me.
We also split the fried pickles for an appetizer and the batter was very similar to the onion rings. Delicious again. The pickles were sliced thin and they were still juicy as you bit into their fried awesomeness. The only improvement I would suggest is to upgrade the plain ranch that is served with them and add some seasoning. I think even a little Tonys mixed in would have been a good improvement.
The atmosphere:
From the second we walked in the door, we were greeted by friendly faces. The night we came, there was a live band so there was a $ 7 cover. The door guys welcomed us, told us all about the band, and recommended food on the menu.
The Saloon itself was big. It has a good sized full bar, a stage, two pool tables, a lot of seating, a shuffleboard, darts, some video arcade games like Golden Tee, a jukebox with a huge library of Texas country and old school country, and it has an upstairs deck to overlook the whole place. It is decorated with the usual country rustic mixed with bar signs and TVs, and my favorite part is that it sits like 100 ft or less from the train tracks. When the train passed by several times during the night, we could feel the vibrations in our chairs and feet. It completed the rustic feel of downtown historic Richmond to have the train tracks running right there.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a night out with good food, music and fun atmosphere. We are going to come back to check this place out on game night… mostly because I really want another one of those out-​of-​this-​world burgers. :)

We decided to check out a local bar and went off the Unilocal reviews. We had 3 or 4 drinks each along with burgers for dinner. I have to say that was the best swiss-​mushroom burger that I’ve had in 15 or 20 years! Not sure where their buns are made but they are to die for! Makes me want to go back just for a burger.
I rate them with 4 starts because it is still a smoking bar and you can tell as soon as you step inside.

Best country bar in town! I actually worked here a couple years ago and I have never had as much fun at work as I did while working at Lone Star. This place is the epitome of a Texas bar. The owners Bill and Bev regularly come by and greet all of the guests.
The atmosphere is awesome! Everyone is so friendly and the staff treats you like family. You walk in and are welcomed with a beer and a hug! And if you are a regular, your drink will be made for you once you walk through the front door.
They have a large variety of liquor and can make about any shot you could dream up! Kye is known for making the best Bloody Mary’s in Houston! And Bryan’s Margaritas are to die for.
The music here is awesome! They have live country bands Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. They move the tables to make a dance floor and that thing is never empty! My favorite was always Texas Wild.
Oh, and the food! This place has the best bar food you will ever have! I worked there for a year and I still go back for lunch from time to time for their buffalo chicken sandwich or one of their famous hamburgers. If you aren’t afraid to get your hands messy-​order the Harley Hogs. Just trust me.
Whether you are wanting to go out dancing on a Saturday night or are looking for somewhere to go to lunch– this is the place to go. I love the ambiance and the staff will make you feel welcomed as ever.
They also have a second floor that looks over the first floor. There are a handful of comfy couches and you can actually reserve the entire second floor. It’s perfect for a party and the waitresses will walk up and down the stairs for you so you don’t have to endure the trek back down to the bar.
Plus, you can actually smoke in this bar! But, if you do not smoke, the ceilings are super high and the bar is well ventilated so you won’t be bothered.

Great place with very friendly people, good grub, and cheap drinks.

We went for Steak Night on Tuesday. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. The steaks were kinda bland, but we really enjoyed the atmosphere and music there. I’m sure we’ll be back.

Are you looking for a REAL TEXAS SALOON? Someplace to wash the trail dust down? When you’re in Richmond Texas, Stop in the LONE STAR SALOON. This place is Known for its Great Hamburgers. I had the Chicken Salad, which was Fantastic. I also ordered the «Harley Hogs», BBQ’D Pork on the bone which melted in your mouth. The Glaze on the pork was a bit too sweet for my palate, however, The St. Arnold’s Ale (Local only to Texas) balanced it out well. They have a nice selection on the menu, and Daily Drink and Dinner Specials. You can’t beat the atmosphere. This place sits along the Rail Road Tracks. You can imagine Josey Wales Tying his horse out front. Live Music Weekly!

talk about a good burger!!! Not the classiest place around, and they let people smoke inside (yuck) but the burgers are amazing!!!

This place is definitely a bar, no waitress to speak of (just Cindy behind the bar), lots of open floor space and a stage in the corner. Before this place burned last year it had the reputation of being a good ol’ boys place, where county officials would go on lunch breaks and after work to hang out, looks like they got some new digs but the soul is intact. Bonus touch: the burnt sign on the wall from the old building.
We both ordered the bacon cheeseburger with all the fixin’s on a jalapeño bun with fries. The buns tasted very fresh, moist and sweet. The burger was seared just right and cooked all the way through. We didn’t ask for them to be cooked to any particular level, they just came medium-​well.
The burger was delicious, best I’ve had in this neck of the woods. The fries has a pre-​frozen taste and texture to them, but were sufficient for sopping up burger juices.
They had St. Arnold’s Christmas Ale on tap, which is always a welcome addition. Of course I passed and ordered a water, I’m a county employee, we have a reputation to uphold!
Overall the place was fun. Off the beaten path for sure, be sure to check it out.
