Buildings at Lone Star Lone Star is a "one of a kind" restaurant and general store that is comprised of four old frame buildings that served as rural country stores and farm commissaries in the late 1800's, on into the 20th Century.  In fact, Zeaglar's Store was in operation as a post office and mercantile until 1997.

Lone Star was a long-time dream of Pat Williams, a local Santee Realtor.  
As Pat says...

When people walk through the doors at Lone Star, I want them to feel like they are going back in time.

You can bet that a trip to Lone Star does, Indeed, take you back in time!
