Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon
Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon is a casual dining restaurant chain, serving steak, seafood, salad, and similar food items. Lone Star opened its first restaurant in 1989 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. In March 1992, Lone Star became a public company with eight restaurants opened. On February 18, 2008, Lone Star closed 27 restaurants to leave the company with 152 locations. Curiously, none of the Texas-themed restaurants can be found in the state of Texas, from which the restaurant's name is derived.
As of 2011, Lone Star also operates the restaurant concepts Sullivan's (1940's styled with jazz music), DelFrisco's Double Eagle Steak House (upscale traditional), and Texas Land and Cattle (ranch house styled) under the parent company name Center Cut Hospitality Inc.

Famous quotes containing the words lone and/or star:
“At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping, I fly
To the lone vale we loved when life was warm in thine eye,”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
“I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!
We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;
And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,
Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
