Texas Born. Canadian Raised. It all started in Ottawa 1986, when two CFL players from Texas found themselves playing in the nation’s capital. They loved Ottawa (yes, even the winters), but one thing was missing: The southern comforts of the Texan food they loved from back home. So, they took matters into their own hands, and opened up the very first Lone Star Texas Grill. Lone Star is also the #1 purchaser of Corona, tequila and churros in Canada!
