Amarillo

Going to be in Amarillo in a couple of weeks, need suggestions on where to eat an evening meal.
Thanks in advance

Pretty country.

I went hunting near Amarillo for almost a week, years ago. Way off the beaten path and no one was prepared for anything. I almost starved to death. Shot some sparrows off the house. All we had to eat the last 2 days was sparrows, scissortails, bread, jalapenos and beer. True story. Good luck.

What's a trip to Amarillo without a visit to The Big Texan !

Green chile willies for CFS
Coyote Bluff for burgers....not sandwiches. Bring cash.

A good one....I avoid that place like the plague....

2nd the Coyote Bluff suggestion. And yes bring cash. They do take checks but no CC's.

Burgers: Coyote Bluff or Blue Sky...(I prefer Blue Sky)
Pizza: 575 Pizza, Vince's (great Gyro's as well)
Seafood: None
Cajun: Lazy Gator is outstanding
Mexican: El Bracero on 6th
6th Street (Route 66): Golden Light (get the green chili burger and fries), Smokey Joe's (get the wings and cold beer)
Steaks: Texas Roadhouse, Metropolitan (pricy)
Other: Cask and Cork, Drunken Oyster
Best Menu and Good Food: Bubba's 33
Asian: My Thai,
CFS: Green Chili Willie's
Hidden Gems: North Heights Discount and Cafe (outstanding food and Kool-Aid), Scott's Oyster Bar
Breakfast Burrito: Meme's DOC

Give me a shout if you have any questions...I'm 25 minutes from Amarillo

I often stay in Amarillo or Lubbock for 2-3 weeks at a time for work. In that time, i will eat at Blue Sky at least 7-10 times. The Blue Sky Steak, a two patty hamburger steak smothered in queso and green chilies with a Blue Bell milkshake hits the spot every time and never gets old.

Coyote bluff for a bacon cheeseburger. I believe they take CC now too.
Green Chili willies is good too.
Golden light is closed down I believe.
Bracero's makes a good margarita.
Taco Villa meat burrito. Take it home and the next day, heat it up on a cast iron skillet to get a little crunch, so good!
Rosas is good for quick mexican too, their beef fajita nachos are pretty dang good.


The big texan sucks, it's just a tourist trap, you'll never find locals eating there.

Thanks for all of your recommendations, no worries about big Texan, I did that some40 years ago and failed by like a 1/4 of a lb, I didn’t eat steak for several months after that...

Lot’s of good suggestions, Jorge’s is another good Mexican stop and Wesley’s Bean Pot for some good BBQ

I really enjoy Blue Sky for burgers. The Big Texan is OK, but it gets very crowded and the wait is too long for me.

Hils hamburgers in Canyon are worth the trip from Amarillo. Breakfast is good also. Burgers and onion rings are what we get when we are in town. Won't be disappointed.
