Lone Star Cafe & Bar Dunedin Reviews from The Last Year
Quality DROPPED !!
Changed management and change rules. Quality DROPPED. More Low quality and cheap ingredients used, As a long term loyal customer, after 5 years of visiting, I will NOT COME BACK again !!
Lovely tasty meal recommended
We were staying opposite the place , so googled and booked a table for 4 people. Lovely atmosphere, busy but we were served drinks and given time to choose food. Have a little device to call our waitress over. I had chicken with mushroom sauce and coleslaw and chips, really nice , tender and the mushroom sauce was really nice. Husband had the usual steak again very tender and cooked perfectly. Mt brother had the lamb which he loved as it was red , but did find it a bit cold , however very tender. Overall a good experience, didn’t have to wait long and staff very helpful and friendly. Used by locals , families and students alike.
Fab preconcert dinner with friends
Lovely dinner with friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Staff were friendly, service was great and great venue and location. Highly recommend to others.
Meh...
Ok food. Tex Mex and such. Asked waiter was his favorites were and he said the restaurant didn't offer the dishes to staff. Weird. I'd look elsewhere.
Unfortunate
Unfortunately didnt have a good experience this time. We all got ribs, our ribs were cold, very tough and difficult to physically eat and chew. Unfortunately the service wasnt great, forgot our drinks, brought out all the food and THEN told us one of the meals wasnt actually available (could of said much earlier so 1 person waited much longer). Had to ask 3 times for things, and 6 of us had to squash around a small table that couldnt even fit 6 plates properly on top of drinks and some starters, so it was uncomfortable. The restaurant was half empty at this time too. Weve had amazing experiences there before, the food can be great but just this one time it wasnt very good.
Great Dinner meals
My partner and I had The Johnny Stash and Honky Tonk chicken. Drinks were great also. Only downfall was the table we were situated next to very noisy family. Would be back though
Overpriced
Over the years loan star has been great but the last 3 times ive been there, (recetly this w.e) its been absolutely horrible. This time Ribs were chewy, dry and werent falling off the bone, 1 kids meal, the fish smelt off and the chicken crumb was soggy. Steak was average as hell. Waiters were amazing! Drinks were good. For $300 i wont be back.
Disappointed ☹️
Really sad to be giving Lone star 3 stars, as it has always been 5 stars, but I feel recently it has gone down hill, and overly priced. I ordered the New Pork, which I’ve had before with no issues. Tonight it came out cold on the inside and minus the crackling, only soggy fat. I returned the meal (which I hate doing) The second one was warm, but still soggy crackling 😩 That’s the best bit! The mash was bland, but I did enjoy the veggies. My son ordered ribs, which you can never go wrong with…..$46 for 8 ribs, chips and coleslaw 🤯 We made a tough decision tonight that we won’t be returning!
Good food / drinks , friendly staff
Hi there ! We ate at Lone Star Dunedin and were overall quite happy with the experience , food was out in no time and our waitress Kate was super friendly and definitely knew what she was doing . We were well taken care of . Thanks !
Disaster and unhygienic
This place is nothing like its former glory. I feel for the chef who at least may have tried, everything else made this place a disaster. Trying to eat while a flock of seagulls clear the outside tables and sh*te all over the plates, cutlery, condiments etc. put me off big time. Value for money no longer exists, listening to orders no longer exists. I would avoid for hygiene reasons alone - even the floor is sticky like old student pubs. No fish at all for any of that menu - it's NY Eve be prepared. Banoffee Pie is rock hard cheese cake base with some banana slices and other slop. One positive - the squid was nice but the atmosphere put me off. There's so many other things I could mention - but why bother - this is not a well run business who care about customers.

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Unsold listings bug?
Idk if this is related to the unsold listing % rule but I have listed 6 reservations and sold 5 of them and my unsold listing percentage is ~45%. For some reason the unsold listings have not been converted into sold ones. Does this happen only after the payment is released following the booking or is it an issue that needs to be addressed?

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant
After putting in about 40 hours of work, I’ve made about $750 sale on this platform but gotten paid $0. Take this with a grain of salt.
Fraud
I believe this site to be a fraud. I paid $158 to get a reservation. Now they want my SS # and other private details in order to supposedly repay me.

Give the best answerPayouts
Hello All,
I don’t know what else to do as I can’t transfer my cleared funds to my bank account. Customer support is close to non existing and not helpful. How can we keep selling here if we can’t withdraw what we have worked for. They say I have to wait 180 days. This is ridiculous!
Via Carota
Hi all! I have a reservation for Via Carota for tomorrow for 2 people at 4:45PM for only $10 if anyone is interested!!
Give the best answerPayout limits? Have 1k…
Am confused about the payout restrictions. Have nearly $1k sitting, wanted to withdraw some and am surprised to see I can only withdraw $50. If i have to do this everyday I’ll end up paying over $90 in fees just for withdrawing via ACH which doesn’t make much sense to me. Have opened a ticket regarding this, but any input or advice would be appreciated
Give the best answerIs Appointment Trader Doomed?
Looks like New York passed a bill making it illegal to sell a reservation without the permission of the restaurant. Is this the end of appointment trader?

Give the best answerAny seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch
Give the best answerWhat happens if someone changes or shows up for their reservation after I buy it?

Give the best answerRestaurant Bought/Canceled Their Own Reservation
I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

I need to be paid for the two reservations I sold as a new user before I do more work to get and sell reservations only to not be paid. Can someone get back to me so I can get my funds. I don't understand the error message about the percentage. PLEASE HELP!
Give the best answerQuestion about postpaid listings for prepaid bookings
I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.
