Lone Star Rib House

During my time at Lone Star, the management was terrible and often hostile. Almost every week the roster was put out the day before the new work week began, and multiple times there were changes made to the roster throughout the week without notifying staff (including myself).

On top of this, the head chef was hostile and borderline abusive if any mistakes were made (despite making various mistakes himself like cooking the wrong cut of steak, sending out wrong sauces, under/over cooking steaks, ect ect).
Myself and multiple other kitchen staff avoided working directly with the head chef and the motto between us was “heads down, keep quiet” as to not aggravate the head chef, owner, or manager.

I consider myself a very relaxed, happy, anxiety free person, but after working at Lone Star, I found myself on the verge of a nervous breakdown before each shift from the anxiety of not knowing what each shift would bring, and having multiple panic attacks during shifts.

This is the only job that has made me legitimately vomit in the morning before a shift from anxiety, as well as also have the owner walk in the kitchen and throw food at me and the floor. 

Between the toxic culture and aggressive management and higher staff, I couldn’t recommend anyone to work here.

This place sucked like seriously I got an interview at Lonestar rib house Blacktown to become a waiter and they gave me a job trial instead of putting me on the floor serving customers the manager got me to clean down his backroom sweep up cigarette butts pressure hose down the back room and got me to stand on a rocky bar fridge and change lights which were still switched on while I changed them and I had no experience changing lights which break numerous work health and safety guideline instead of actually seeing what I could do the manager used me for free labor I was cleaning that room for hours waiting for the manager to give me my next task only to walk to his office to see him sleeping on his desk this place is unprofessional and does not care for its workers at all

My store is great. Our staff get along great and work together really well. The pay is good (restaurant industry award rates) and the work is engaging and interesting. However certain managers are disorganised, inconsistent and sometimes downright mean. Staff as a whole are regularly accused of being lazy or incompetent by management and are publicly called out on social media pages as a first method of problem solving. We are also overstaffed but management is still trialling new people when our current staff already don't get enough hours.

The most non-constructive, demeaning, and demoralising work environment I have ever been in. They charge you for the price of the mandatory uniform, the owner drinks beers all day and only ever stops to intimidate the workers he thinks are 'slow', strong culture of negative reinforcement. The assistant managers are nice (if a little patronising) and the floor staff are kind but the general manager and owner are simply awful. Despite all of this, it is very easy to get a job there (because so many people quit after the first shift) and it pays decently but for the sake of your mental and physical health I would avoid Lone Star like the plague.

HONESTLY DO NOT WORK HERE, ITS DISGUSTING. The owner of the store wasnt able to manage anything, everything was rushed and a lot of yelling, never got my correct pay, I worked there for 10 weeks and all of my colleagues have already left and so did I, chicken would be left out for 2 two days and then served after that, meet would be reheated from the night before. All of my colleagues were amazing except the manager, he would sleep in the kitchen, would drink 3-4 bottles of wine a night, straight out of the bottle 

Each day I worked the manager made it their mission to ostracise me and not feel particularly welcomed. However all my co-workers, some of the most understanding people I've met.

I wish I had something nice to say about working there but each day working there was just too stressful because of the constant changes from higher management and the constant unease from having the manager essentially try and sabotage some of us from doing our jobs properly.

my first shift was really good i thought i was doing well but at the end of my shift they approached me and told me not to come back unless they contact me 

People are fun working,with good environment,learned to work in fast pace with different people from different country,management was good, motivating and courageous working and teach the basis of many personality development skills like communication

The armosphere and coworker relations were good. Great people to work with and there were pretty decnt training opportunities, however the managment and onwership were awful and unhelpful. We were regularly paid late and incorrectly also.

I have worked for lonestar since they opened I have left and worked elsewhere and returned and it is definitely a good place to work always have a good experience and good food if you apply and are successful you will love your experience at the lone Star
