Plated meal with mashed potato and vegetables at Lone Star Manchester St

Lone Star Manchester St is where the national restaurant story began. The first Lone Star opened at 26 Manchester Street on 13 September 1988, built around the idea that a meal out could be generous, relaxed and fun rather than formal. The group has since spread across New Zealand, but this Christchurch address remains the original branch. That continuity gives the room more than nostalgic value: diners can still order dishes that appeared in the early years while using a busy central-city restaurant that serves lunch and dinner every day.

The enduring signatures explain the restaurant's hearty reputation. Redneck Ribs are full-length pork spare ribs, blanched with honey and spices before being fire-finished and coated in a hoisin, orange and sesame sauce. Dixie Chicken takes a different route, setting chicken breast in a creamy garlic and white-wine sauce with vegetables, buffalo chips and coleslaw. Jonny Stash, another original, wraps mushroom, spinach, cheese and sun-dried tomato inside a herb-crusted chicken breast and adds mushroom sauce for an especially substantial plate.

There is plenty to build around those classics. A table can begin with hot bean dip, baked garlic loaf, salt-and-pepper calamari or tiger prawns sautéed with garlic, chilli and coriander butter. Market fish, a beef or chicken burger, Caesar-style salad and several cuts of steak broaden the mains beyond ribs and chicken. Desserts stay in the same generous register, from pavlova with fruit to Kahlúa and Moro Bar cheesecake or a warm white-chocolate pudding with butterscotch and vanilla ice cream.

The Manchester Street branch opens from late morning, so it can handle a straightforward lunch as easily as an evening gathering. Its position near One New Zealand Stadium also makes it useful around major events, while three named function areas give groups distinct options: the Cowboy's Corral for a large private meal, the Highwayman's Saloon for a looser bar-style gathering and the Outlaw's Lounge for a smaller event. The result is an original branch that still behaves like a working local restaurant rather than a piece of chain history.
