31 Best American Restaurants in Amarillo

“Me and my friends love to come and see Shea and Celi. They are the best bartenders!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“OMG. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just left a doctor appointment and wanted to take myself out to lunch. I did an online search for local restaurants nearby and Shelby's is on the way home for me. The people were friendly, the waitress was wonderful and served everything quickly. The salad before the meal had tons of ingredients and the honey mustard dressing was amazing. I got the hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and brown gravy with sauteed onions. Chef's kiss! It was hot, flavorful, and a very large portion. Kind of a small town diner style cafe at Tradewinds Airport with cool nostalgic stuff about the original owner on the wall. Even the other customers were friendly. I sat near the entrance so people had to walk by me to leave and every single person smiled and said hello. I heard a person at a table on one side of me talk about how they love coming here and every meal is great. I heard another person across from me say that they had never been here before but it was their new favorite spot. Amarillo friends, if you haven't been here, you should stop by. 👍“

“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 ??“

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

“We were traveling through the Panhandle and stopped for a night in Amarillo. We asked the Hampton Inn front desk clerk to recommend good local place to have an early dinner and she immediately responded with Coyote Bluff Cafe and wrote the address for us. When we got there we looked at each other bewildered and hesitated then decided that the parking lot was full so we’d give it a try. Our waitress was quick and very friendly, our food was out in a jiffy and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the fries were fantastic. I will recommend this place to anyone I know who is headed to Amarillo!“

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

“Jace provided excellent service and really made the experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was outstanding—definitely a 10/10. The steak and lobster were excellent and cooked very well. The ravioli was just okay, and the bread was a bit tough, but overall we had a great dining experience and would come back.“

“After getting told there was no boths or tables in the bar area and no boths in the common area they sat us at a table. There was clearly boths and tables at both spots so we just relocated ourselves. At first they said we couldn't do that but when we were going to leave they changed there attitudes. The food was good but lack heavy on there service. Ill return but no time soon.“

“Ive traveled to over 46 States in the past 3years! Hands down today was the best BBQ I ever tasted! I ordered from Uber eats and there was a mix up with the driver so the Owner delivered the food! Best customer service ever! Ribs were absolutely delicious! I wanted to give them a shot out on my social media pages but I couldn't find them on IG!“

“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“

“Fun local place to eat! We were happy to be able to bring our dog and sit out on the patio. It was an extra bonus to enjoy good live music! Our waitress was also great! I love seeing a privately owned restaurant that’s been open for more than 40 years!!“

“Their steaks are always perfect! I love the new pablamo pepper with pepper jack cheese I only wish they would bring back the okra as that is a Texas staple !“

“I’m not joking this is the best pool haul in town. No smoking indoors, a crap ton of pool tables, beer pong, darts, cornhole, jenga, a few other things. And the run this place so smoothly super professional! The manager Skip is AWESOME and so are the rest of his staff 100/10 love this place. Definitely go check it out.“
