ABANDONED Steakhouse With Everything Left Behind

Today we pull over to the side of the road to grab some food... the only problem is, this steakhouse has been closed for a while. Join us as we venture though this long abandoned Lonestar Steakhouse with literally everything left behind.

[@ladyi7609]

Well, considering how Texas was a part of Mexico long before it was ever a part of the U.S..... Also, I'm guessing that the type of Mexican food it serves is super shitty faux "Mexican" crap that one would post on the "Mexicans mad at food" group on Facebook. FYI, I'm a native Texan from a family originally from Mexico and I've never even heard of Lone Star Steakhouse and feel like the only places to get halfway decent Mexican food in the U.S. are west of the Mississippi and as close to the original boundaries for Mexico just after they won the war for independence from Spain as possible, meaning I'm definitely eating at a Mexican restaurant in Denver but never at one in Baltimore.

[@audreymuzingo933]

@@ladyi7609 'Authentic' is one thing; 'good' is another. The worst pizza I ever had was in Italy. And normally I say pizza is like sex; even when it's bad it's still pretty good. But this was downright gross, and I'm pretty sure anyone including Italians would agree if they tasted it compared to Dominos or Papa John's, if they were blindfolded and didn't have confirmation bias to rely on. And saying you know "real" _____ food because blah blah blah is cliche and tedious. It might get you 4 likes in a KZbin comment, but it's going to get you eye-rolls when you're not looking in real life, if you take the opportunity every time the topic comes up, because people have already heard it repeatedly. I hope you are proud of other aspects of your Mexican heritage because you should be; it's an awesome culture.

Please someone tell me which town and state this Lone Star is in.

[@anthonyfesta5714]

Having worked in the restaurant industry, I was quite shocked to see the amount of stainless equipment, refrigeration equipment, not to mention a complete dishwasher, left in the building. As another viewers commented, usually this type of equipment would either be warehoused for use in other locations as a cost saving measure; or they would have a salvaging company come in and dismantle the equipment for sale at auction. This would permit the company to recoup at least some of their investment in that location. In my opinion, especially given the way things appear to have been left, I suspect some that some form of serious health hazard existed; precluding proper disposal of the restaurants' equipment and fixtures. I would like to suggest To the videographers who shot the footage in this building that you keep a close watch on your general health for the next few weeks, and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any changes in your health. I would suggest that in the future you consider some form of protective equipment whenever you enter any type of establishment where foodstuffs may have been left behind. At a minimum you should don respirators and gloves so that you prevent contact with contaminants. The fact that you were able to still smell what was obvious putrefaction emanating from items left behind in both the walk-in boxes and low-boys means that there was potentially dangerous bacteria present; putting you at risk for exposure to these toxins which have the potential to be life threatening.

It's very odd to see that much kitchen equipment left behind. Usually, they will broker it out to an auction house and reap some of the cost. This is sad I know a lot of organizations that could have benefited from the items left behind. Great post!

[@oldenweery7510]

*Kevin Linville* Some states won't allow a business to install used kitchen equipment, not even sinks. Some friends of mine opened an games arcade and wanted to sell snacks and hot sandwiches that come in packages, ready to heat, but they had to stick to the kind of things sold in vending machines because they couldn't afford new stainless steel fixtures.

[@sliceasaurus]

Both of my parents were told when the location they worked at closed that they couldnt have a thing. They were told they were going to auction it off. Never did. They did get drunk one night and steal a patio table and the chairs. We still have it on the back deck lol

[@oldenweery7510]

@@sliceasaurus Yeah, when the bar in the front of the building where I had my store (the building ran between two streets) was condemned, they left all sorts of furniture behind, including a bunch of those sturdy round tables.

[@akkiko]

My workplace would have likely done the same if my team's leader (specifically my team's leader, not a manager or the gm) hadn't coordinated a donation pickup after everything had been transferred. They've worked with a lot of homeless in the past and so immediately saw the opportunity. Feels like a lot of places just don't think about it when they're closing.

[@NealD]

I’m sure the property owner assumed a Mexican Restaurant or Chinese Restaurant would quickly move it. But, he was probably greedy and wanted way too much rent!

[@NealD]

Many business owners can be totally lame when it comes to donating. I use to volunteer at an animal shelter near a Dunkin’. For a long time the shelter would take clean reusable plastic containers over and Dunkin’ donated the day old donuts to the shelter for the volunteers to pick up in the morning. I loved this and it actually made me go buy drinks and sandwiches from the Dunkin’. BUT, suddenly when the owner found out about this, he put a stop to it and made the employees throw away the daily leftover donuts. 😞 I never went to the Dunkin’ location again and it’s now out of business. 😁

[@stevenwhite3.1415]

Its likely because many of them hope they will reopen or the value will increase if the restaurant is ready to be opened by a potential buyer

You’d think there’d be more regulations on closing buildings. This place seems like an obvious fire hazard.

[@NorthAndre]

From experience, regulations are left up to the local government. Cities with resources and capabilities will have vacant building registrations in lieu of annual inspections after closure. It means the exterior is still inspected for open doors and hazards more frequently and violations can be written if the property becomes dilapidated and unsafe.

This was entertaining to watch while I ate my pineapple bbq and chicken pizza! :P

[@tweetthang96]

Man, I miss Lonestar. The food was good, and at least at the one near me, we always got good service. Sad to see this one in such a state

[@courtneyfumerola5573]

i’m too scared to go into abandoned things so i like being able to watch you do it 😂 for some reason it’s so thrilling to watch lol! i am seriously so obsessed with your videos! who knew so many people like abandoned things

There used to be one on route 22 in New Jersey, my parents brought me there as a kid with my grandma. I remember they used to give kids these pin on stars.

I loved LoneStar Steakhouse! Sad that they closed

[@CherryCola098]

Is there any way you can do the fallas parades store's bankruptcy? That was my childhood 😀

[@funnychic98]

Omg yes!! My parents would always take me there to get clothes for school. The last time I went to one before they closed was in 2017

@@funnychic98 my mom, a theater teacher, would occasionally look for good costumes there. My grandma and I would also go there for supplies for homemade Halloween costumes. The last thing I got there was an umbrella I still have. There were everywhere, especially near the border. (^_^♪)

The commercial at the end said that Lone Star was established in 1966 but according to the internet they where established in 1989. Also the only location left is in Michigan.

You could say its kinda "rare" to find someplace like this "well done" also those pictures look like they'd be worth something although they'd probably say there "medium rare" pictures. Fantastic "raw" footage you guys.

[@mybabyb15]

We use to go to the location in Waldorf, Md all the time. They use to let you eat peanuts and throw them on the floor. Then that stopped and soon after it closed

Looks like that steakhouse went Vegan 🌱 🌲 🌳

[@jeffhalebopp]

Love the 4k footage. Your video quality has really improved. There is just no comparison between 1080 and 4k. Just wondering why you would put 30p footage on a 60 fps timeline? :) It takes twice as long to encode and the file size will be bigger and harder for computers to playback. Thanks!

[@tendraftsdeep]

Great video gentleman! Our local Lone Star was shutdown but a nice Mexican restaurant moved into the property

[@mizzbelle97]

Dan bell knocked down some of the spider webs for you lmao

Hey Jake I grew up about 10 minutes from there and can answer any questions you might have

[@kengibson402]

I saw the picture and instantly knew where this was! Right off 38 in cherry hill. It’s sat abandoned for years.

[@Actionronnie]

Within 8 seconds,closed caption has got it all wrong. 😂

[@PhantomStella]

Our area Lonestar suddenly disappeared one day and another steakhouse took over the location a few months later. It was really weird at the time because it seemed always busy.

[@HoursFreeAOLsp]

8:15 those convection ovens are so expensive, I cooked 400 pieces of bacon at a time in the same rig. Good stuff..

[@eddzetarabbit]

Texas Roadhouse should definitely buy that property.

i used to work in one of these. terrible memories..

I really like the drawing on the walls ... really sad to leave that behind.

This gives a glimpse at what food stocks in abandoned places would look like during a movie style apacolypse. Interesting.

[@Colin.Smith.Pianist]

Oh man I remember this!! I never went but we had one in my town. It's a sushi place now

[@jackburtonsporkchopexpress197]

I absolutely love the series i find myself looking for abandoned places and looking for dated material
