There are 10 further Lone Star Rib House restaurants expected to open within the next 12 months.

Two stores are under construction in Newcastle and Glenelg and scheduled to open before the end of 2015. Another eight stores are planned to boost the brand’s national presence. The Chatswood store was the most recent outlet to open its doors.

The Texan themed franchise chain was developed in 2010 by the founders of the outback Jacks Bar & Grill business. The brand was launched in Tuggerah, New South Wales, when the former Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon rebadged to Lone Star Rib House.

A contemporary take on Texas and the modern day cowboy illustrated on huge wall murals is the design inspiration for the restaurant chain.

Operating in the popular casual dining market, Lone Star Rib House serves slow cooked ribs and gourmet hot dogs alongside American beers and cocktails, with the focus on big servings.
