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

“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.“

“Stopped in from Colorado. Great Burgers and amazing service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for the hospitality“

“Favorite place for our team breakfasts and lunches.“

“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“

“Stopped on our way through from vacationing in Colorado back into Texas. We experienced the best waiter, David H! He was so attentive and friendly. His recommendations were on point and was quick to attend to all of our needs. I highly recommend stopping here for a bite and ask for him!“

“It's got really cool, zombie themed decorations. Great atmosphere. Quality liquor selection. They have pool tables inside and a really great back patio with a small stage. The service and food were great. Would love to visit again in the evening.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Every time my husband and I are in Amarillo, this is our go-to spot. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. The service is just as wonderful—friendly, attentive, and welcoming every single visit. It feels like coming home every time we walk through the door. Consistency, quality, and heart—that’s what makes this place truly special. Highly recommend!“

“If you live in Amarillo or are just driving through, you should absolutely visit Pan-Handlers Cafe’! The service was excellent, the food was delicious, the salad bar was impressive, and the fresh-baked cookies were a huge hit with our whole family! This will be our go-to for lunch anytime we are traveling through Amarillo.“

“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“

“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.“

“Pretty good food, I tried Beef Burger Barrel for the first time today and I was surprised at the menu selection. I ordered a cheeseburger and a deluxe burrito. Unfortunately I had already paid before the gentleman realized they were out of burritos. But he immediately made it up by offering a corn dog, and some fries at no extra cost.

Upon eating, I have nothing but good things to say about the food itself, the burger was delicious, the fries were piping hot and fresh as well as the corn dog. I would highly recommend and I intend to come back soon to finally try the burrito“

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

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

“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!“

“it's super awesome hamburgers“

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

“Consistently delicious and unique specials. Great people and great food�“

“My wife and I are new to Amarillo and this has become our favorite spot out here. the food is good, the drink specials are great and the staff is awesome!“

“Me and my boyfriend came into the restaurant celebrating our anniversary. It was a split second decision, but we both agreed that this was the best dining experience either of us have ever had. Not only was the food amazing but the atmosphere and the staff were phenomenal. They really went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience we could. Our server Brandi was amazing. She made sure to answer all of our questions, tell us about the specials and, was such a pleasure to chat with. The food was so delicious. It absolutely exceeded our expectations. We ordered the shrimp cocktail appetizer, the beef pasta and the Asian style cedar plank salmon, and for the sides we ordered the mac and cheese and truffle fries. Compliments to the head chef (we didn’t quite catch his name) and the sous chef Jacob! Special shout out to Jared and the bartenders. I never leave reviews but this place and staff most definitely deserved it all, thank you all again for the amazing experience!“

“I asked for a sliced brisket sandwich. I was asked, do you want a medium or small? I said, medium and small bowl of beans.
The medium sandwichr was huge, was the lean (best) part of the brisket.
Very satisfying absolute best BBQ!“

“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!“

“We saw this on one of the travel shows for Texas and had opportunity to stop in when passing through town. I had moderate expectations because most steakhouse disappoint.. especially high dollar places. I was pleasantly surprised... expecting good steak, but instead got great steak, better than high priced chains, perfectly cooked and tasty and all at a reasonable price. The variety ans quality of the sides is also excellent. Great atmosphere...just a fun place. The on premises brewed beer also excellent. All around show stopper and worth special arrangements to dine here.“

“We always have great service and food at Teddy Jacks! They have the best cheese sticks!!“

“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“

“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.“

“Our server was very attentive but the food was very slow to arrive. The kids spaghetti came with very little sauce. The flatbread was a soggy mess. Steak bites got a rave review, 5oz. Filet was perfect. Carrot side dish was impossible to cut with a regular knife. Risotto was great.“

“This little place has great breakfast fast fresh friendly all the stuff we love! Go by for a breakfast burrito or a coffee! Super clean inside and decorated cute too!“

“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!“

“Last night was our 1st time to eat here! It was AWESOME!! Will be back! Thanks!!!“

“Delicious food, upstart buffet.. show'em some love. service was great! buffet with a twist add the beef or chicken or surf n turf it. add the veggies you want! fried rice.. then it's cooked hot for you. I like that because the meal is fresh and you can go for more .“

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

“Our waitress was fantastic. She made suggestions when we asked. She was super friendly and helpful. I went back again and had a different waiter and had the same service. I'm going back! The Pow Wow Shrimp was delicious! Sorry no photos. We ate it too fast! Haha“

“Ordered online since we were at Hotel 2 Suites next door as we always have when traveling to Colorado. One order was missing an item, made one phone call and talked to the manager (I believe “Dottie”, that they sent me to) and everything was taken care of plus some. Excellent service and always excellent food!!! Will always come back!!“

“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.“

“Good food, burgers taste very home made. Fries n chili not so much but it was still delicious. Lots of unwanted people walking around, but whatcha gonna do. To go is the way to go to avoid them. Will definitely try again. CASH ONLY as well.“

“This place has THE best steak I have ever had…and I’ve had a lot of steak.🥩 the servers seem to think of everything so that southern hospitality is really felt. The aesthetic is a fun ol’ country western vibe and kind of feels like a comical movie set or a theme park. The beer is GOOD, they are doing it right (ordered the Rattlesnake IPA 🍺). And the dinner rolls…don’t get me started on those; they are hot, sweet, and tender, I could make a meal of em. Honestly on first glance I would’ve passed this place up as I’m not a fan of the aesthetic (though it is well done for those who are) but a family member recommended this place and after trying it i will ALWAYS ALWAYS stop here for a damn good steak dinner. 👌 Chefs kiss.“

“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.“

“The Pimento Cheese Sandwich with their signature meatloaf added was so good! I had the Last Word with mezcal and found my new fav. Bringing wifey next time! Madi was great.“

“WoW what a spot! Always on point!“

“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!“
