50 Best American Restaurants in Amarillo

“I have been coming here for about 12 yrs. Food is absolutely delicious. Very rare that anything is not perfect. Very friendly and sweet waitstaff. If you leave here not full and or not smiling, it's on you.“

“Consistently good food. Great Burgers, salad, fries and shakes. Our favorite ❤️“

“Jose- was a great server everything thing got to our table fast. The food was also amazing.“

“This place was great. Great service and food. Fun place!“

“A wide variety of potatoes as well as other items to choose from, Potato Factory has a large menu whether you like potatoes or not. Many of the items are really cheap too for the size you are getting on their potatoes. Overall a very friendly staff and cool atmosphere makes this a place a regular for me“

“Diane is an excellent server, and has been to us for many years. This time ESPECIALLY she ran her legs off taking care of us because the coffee was bitter and because the kitchen got some of the order wrong. But she always maintains a friendly and proficient demeanor through it all. We laughed a lot today about it. We look forward to seeing her or Linda every time we visit Denny's.“

“My favorite place for lunch!“

“The service is really good and the food is excellent! Haven't had a bad meal yet!“

“We were having dinner with some new acquaintances so we stayed several hrs. Our waiter MAX was amazing. Very attentive and interacted with us well. He did not rush us but took care of our needs. We also met the manager Don who was seated next to us. He introduced himself and visited with us a few minutes. The overall experience was A+. Our new friends from AZ loved the food and enjoyed how friendly Texans are.“

“This is the cleanest restaurant I’ve ever been to. Food is great people are wonderful and you would not believe how clean it is just walking in the door!“

“My family and I love this place. The last time we were was before the huge flood that happened a couple of years ago and decided to try it today for breakfast. We got the same experience we've always had. This place makes you feel like you are family. Our server Olivia was upbeat, happy, and very friendly. The atmosphere and friendliness of the staff reflects how the General Manager Steve is as a person. I bet Steve is the same upbeat, happy, family friendly person. In the words of Gen Z this place always slaps when we come eat“

“First time coming to cheddars and I was absolutely blown away with the service, every waiter and waitress did an amazing job, but david killed the bar area! Waited tables took orders and made sure everyone was taken care of, Guy is top notch at his job!“

“If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to drink a beer while dodging a zombie apocalypse, Zombie Bar & Grill is the place for you! This place nails the undead vibe—think Walking Dead meets Cheers, but with fewer brains and more burgers.

First off, the patio. It’s huge, dog-friendly, and probably big enough to host a zombie flash mob (just saying). Our dogs were treated like royalty, or at least the last uninfected survivor, with plenty of space to roam while we enjoyed our drinks in peace.

Shoutout to Andrea, our server! Friendly, attentive, and very good with our curious pups. She made sure we had everything we needed!

In short, Zombie Bar & Grill is the perfect spot if you’re looking to enjoy a night out with your friends, human or canine. Just be prepared—after a few drinks, you might start thinking you can take on the zombie horde yourself. Spoiler: you can't, but you'll have a blast trying!“

“Coyote Bluff is top notch every time. Long time regular and never the slightest issue.“

“It was our first time here and everything was delicious, I got the Philly and my wife got a club sandwich and they were both a solid 10/10.Salad bar is excellent, but could use cucumber!Prices aren't bad either!Most sandwiches are around $8-$10 for a whole or $6 for a half. Soup and Salad bar is $14 for AYCE.10/10 recommend!The restaurant is inside the bank!“

“It’s a greasy delicious cheeseburger. It’s like the cheeseburgers you get at a concession stand, the best. It’s not a guy in suspenders and a sleeve tattoo selling artisanal farm to table. It’s a classic American Cheeseburger. Loved it. Solid.“

“I was actually amazed at the the portions that gave out because there was plenty turkey and plenty of pepper jack cheese on my turkey sandwich and the bread was toasted the tomatoes were fresh the tater tots were plentiful it was actually a pretty tasty meal I would recommend it to anyone who had a chance to come by there the waitresses are very friendly very courteous overall my opinion was outstanding“

“always great food , and super friendly service .nice family business“

“DD was the best waitress made sure everything came out hot and ready make sure you ask for her when visiting twin peaks will be back ??“

“If you know the girl that made these, let her know they were fabulous! Met her yesterday and she saw I had them in my cart! I told her I would let her know how they were! Hubby grilled them!“

“HUD’S catering is spot on! We had an opportunity to feed some DPS officers and chose to use HUD’s for our event. It was SPECTACULAR to say the least. We ordered each platter that was offered and they were delicious. The order was ready on time, it was prepared perfectly and the value for what we paid was exceptional! Don’t sleep on HUD’s to handle a large group. You will be impressed and your client/group will be thankful.“

“it's super awesome hamburgers“

“Last night we decided to go to the Hoffbrau Steak and Grill House for dinner. If you are ever in Amarillo, don't go here expecting German type food. But please try it anyway for some awesome American-Texan food. I had the Smoked Sirloin with corn on the cob and Tonya had the Shrimp and Grits. Both meals were great and the service was very good also. Tonya also a Pretty in Pink drink (which was a little too tart for my taste, but she really liked it) All in all, I would rate this place a 10 out of 10!“

“Always a great choose for Breakfast or Lunch. The wait staff makes you feel right at home. Yum-Yum come get some great food“

“Fast Eddie’s is the place to go! The atmosphere and vibe are great. The staff is incredible, I’ve been going for years, they’re friendly, considerate and I would consider a few friends. I especially think the GM Skip is a stand up guy, who has helped me up my game of pool and just been a great conversation every time I’m there. Kenzi is by far one the best bartenders I’ve had, she handles the bar in a quick fashion all while making the guest feel valued. Over all I love this place and the people!“

“This place is the bomb ribs are falling off the bone.very good service. Clean area to eat and enjoy.“

“i had a great time at this place especially how our hostess Xey was the best 10/10 would recommend“

“Love Chef Scott’s meals amazing family that runs this place.“

“What can I say, been going here since my senior year of high school, 1983. 40 years and it’s always been outstanding. I’ve been going 2-3 times a week lately and I think they have the best wings in town! Their buffalo chicken strips are the bomb too. Don’t pass up the Turkey sandwich either, add some bacon and fries and onion rings and you are set! The waitstaff is number 1 as well! Highly recommend! Heather is the best waitress ever and always takes care of me.“

“We always like to try new places when we travel around the world. This place is nowhere near the centre of Amarillo, it's out in a new development area sout of the town, but it was well worth it. The sombre lighting provides a nice atmosphere as does the decor. Emily took great care of us and the manager came over for a chat which was appreciated. Food was very good, the meatballs, steak etc. The whole evening was very pleasant“

“Sure, this is a tourist trap, but what a FUN one! Lots of cute things to buy in gift shop while waiting for a table. Yes, you usually have to wait to get a table. They're busy! There's all kinds of fun stuff to look at while waiting. It's a unique stop/restaurant. Been around for decades. That should tell you they know how to serve people of all ages.“

“Liz was a fantastic server & the food was delicious!“

“We had an amazing experience at Spicy Mike's BBQ! When we arrived, first thing we noticed was several local people eating their lunch there - a sure sign of good food and fair prices. Seeing this, we ordered the 3-meat plate, and it was fantastic! And the portion was generous, perfect for two people to share. I'm a big fan of smoked ribs, I eat them everywhere I can find them (they’re rare in Europe!), and I can confidently say that all the meat at Spicy Mike's BBQ is EXTREMELY good!

What truly made our visit special was that Mike himself came to our table (and others too) to check if we were enjoying our meal. We ended up having a delightful chat about our two-week road trip across the U.S., trying to explore as many states as possible! We even took a photo with Mike!:)

And last but not least - another customer overheard our conversation with Mike about our trip and he bought us a desert!:) What a lovely, kind gesture. We will remember this visit for a long time for sure and will be grateful forever for the warmth and generosity we experienced at Spicy Mike's BBQ.“

“This is a great place, very welcoming. I had an iced macchiato and a sausage breakfast burrito to go. The prices are very good as well! My coffee was so good, I finished it not too long after driving off. 10/10 recommend the burrito is probably the best I’ve had in town and out of town. They have a great menu and have added a few new things. I will definitely be back!! Get up and go to 6th/Virginia and get you some good food and coffee!!“

“Great food and great service“

“Quite possibly, no, ABSOLUTELY the best burger I have had in years! Meat that tastes like meat not a ball of grease. Crisp fresh toppings! Tasty bun. Man, this place had it all and knocked my socks off! Must go! I've paid twice as much for lesser burgers. Don't waste your money elsewhere, EAT HERE!“

“Ohmygoodness! We had lunch here today and it was beyond amazing! I chose Asada Tacos (they were incredible; salsa and rice were incredible as well!) and Bill chose Chicken Fried Steak and House Made potato’s with a salad (his chicken fried steak was perfect; the potatoes were dreamy, and the salad was way beyond what most restaurants serve as salad…I believe it actually had fresh spinach in it!) We met the new owner and had a great visit! We will definitely be back soon, and I hope it’s for breakfast because the offerings look and sound delicious!“

“Great selection of food includes salad bar , Mexican food, grill steak, turkey breast also have dessert and good fried chicken and shrimp also grill fish.
For the price paid and good, that’s great value.
Entire restaurant was clean and staff has smiles also clean the plate well.
Great place to stop when in town.
Also a good stop if you are doing Route 66 trip.“

“There is a limited menu, but the choices are very good. The food quality and taste, along with the service, are top notch. The menu is on the pricey side ($230.00 for six of us before tip) but the entire experience makes it worth the cost. This is definitely a "special occasion" restaurant! This was not our first visit and it won't be our last.“

“They have very good donuts. The fritters and cinnamon rolls are “wagon wheels.” The family is always friendly and their young son sometimes makes “signs” to tape onto the glass door. Good people. Good donuts.“

“Great service and food! The freshly baked rolls are delicious! I had the 8oz sirloin with shrimp, sweet potato casserole and elite. My husband had the Bleu Aspen sirloin, loaded baked potato and coleslaw. Everything was wonderful, and the steaks were perfectly done at medium rare.

Parking: Parking on sides and in back

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entry with wide doorways.“

“Best breakfast/lunch place & better service.“

“Great service, great atmosphere, great food! Our server Joseph was absolutely amazing, fun, very personable and very tentative! The manager even went above and beyond to accommodate me and the group I was with! If I could give 10 stars I would!“

“The food, service, and atmosphere were top notch! 1st time here and we loved it! We’ll definitely be back! We got a ribeye, baked potato, salad, onion rings, and banana pudding and all were very delicious! 10/10 recommend! Love the small town feel!“

“I used the app and made a mistake on my order while visiting Amarillo. The manager Nathan was extremely helpful, friendly, and understanding, even though I was the one that made the mistake. Joseph answered the phone and helped me as well, he was great. I definitely recommend this restaurant, not just for the amazing food, but for the amazing service.“

“This was my first visit. Very good lunch!“

“This place is truly AMAZING!! I had supper here on 11.22.2024 and was served by Jadynn. Her recommended choices from the menu were perfect and her sweet and bubbly aura enhanced my dining experience. BRAVO Jadynn!!! The food is DELICIOUS and the drinks are SPECTACULAR!! Highly recommend and I will definitely eat here again. Their menu options are very intriguing.“

“First time visit. Great food. Good portions!! Ashley (our waitress) was fantastic answering all our questions and giving suggestions. Truly enjoyed it and will be back again!“

“WoW what a spot! Always on point!“

“Good service and very well prepared food“
