As a family restaurant Napier locals trust, Lone Star sets itself apart by putting customer satisfaction at the forefront. Jolanta explains, “We always listen to our guests. If something’s not quite right, we fix it—usually with a refund and a smile.” This level of service has helped build a strong community around the restaurant.
When asked about her go-to meal, Jolanta doesn’t hesitate: “Nachos and a Corona. It’s perfect for a relaxed summer evening with friends.” That laid-back, friendly vibe is exactly what makes Lone Star a favourite restaurant Napier NZ residents and visitors return to time and time again.
Under Jolanta’s leadership, Lone Star Napier continues to be a warm, welcoming destination for delicious food, exceptional service, and good times. Whether you're out with the family, catching up with mates, or visiting from out of town, it's easy to see why Lone Star is considered one of the best restaurants in Napier.
