The food was absolutely delicious, and catered so well for my husband who is coeliac. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant had a great atmosphere.

Delicious food and chai; ended up going twice while I was in town because the gluten free cornbread with the eggs benedict was stuck in my mind. Skip the pork belly and go with the bacon though, a much better pairing.

Delicious amazing flavoured burgers. Big selection. Very accommodating with vegan & gluten free menu. Only negative was my partner said his gf bun was dry, suggest this be toasted. Funky vibe atmosphere with link to beer spot next door which goes hand in hand.

Came here for lunch on a whim and was not disappointed! Delicious crepe options with option to swap any flavors for a gluten free galette base. We all had the crepes and all were fantastic. Great coffee too. Staff was extremely friendly. Highly recommend!

Had a fabulous lunch here. The staff were very helpful. My niece is coeliac and cannot have even a trace of gluten. The staff went above and beyond to make sure her meal was safe.

Absolutely blown away with the service we received tonight. All the staff were super friendly, polite and the service was so quick. Such a relaxed atmosphere. My hubby ordered his meal to be Gluten Free so we could share meals, he ordered a side of Mushroom Sauce (not gf) and the manager came to talk to us about the fact it was not gluten free and would put in in a side dish to prevent cross contamination. The extra care blew my mind, you do not find this at many restaurants and to be honest most places I have dined at lately the service has been less than average but not the Lone Star Nelson. If you want good food, great atmosphere and incredible service this place should not be missed. Thank you so much.

Requested gluten free cheesy fries with bacon. It was delicious! The counter staff explained the separate frier & that it would be 20 mins; but it was well worth the wait. Also had 6 different slices & biscuits in a separate cabinet. Very friendly & knowledgeable service.

Gorgeous little cafe with heaps of gluten-free options! Had the gf/df banoffee waffles and they were so good. Love a filter coffee as well. Lots of GF options in the cabinet as well so had a savory loaf and sweet muffin on my second visit. Would definitely come back here any time we’re in Nelson ☺️

I usually am a lover of the vic for their gluten free burgers, i’m not sure if they changed the gluten free bun they used or just ran out but it was very soggy and not crunchy at all like usual, please bring it back if you have gotten rid of it

Really disappointing gluten-free fish and chips meal. Fish didn't taste fresh and it wasn't battered. I can do better myself at home with gluten-free tempura batter. The salad didn't appear fresh either. I really liked the chips though. My friend said one of her pieces of fish didn't taste right either and neither of us felt 100% on the way home. Anchor used to have a really good name.

this is me leaving my first and only google review. this place is incredible. the staff were the kindest people ever and so catering, I reserved a table for 6pm and at 5:50pm called up to change my reservation time to 6:30pm because we were running late and they were so incredibly polite about it and made it such an easy experience. the food we got was cooked to absolute perfection and tasted so good, and as someone with celiac, there were so many gluten-free options to choose from which is sometimes hard to come across. the serving times were relatively quick considering that the restaurant was almost a full house. overall my experience was an 11/10 and I will definitely be bringing my girlfriend back here in the future.
