GoldenLight Cafe & Cantina is a classic Route 66 eatery that offers fantastic food with fast and friendly service. Known for their amazing burgers, including the Marc's 6th street special, this place has something for everyone. The cheese loaded fries with bacon are a must-try, but make sure to go for the small portion as it's quite large. The buns are bakery fresh and the chili, though out of season for green chili stew, is great for dipping fries or spooning onto burgers. The atmosphere is casual, with a welcoming patio where dogs are allowed, and the patio area and the floor of the Cantina are maintained well. The grill, seasoned from years of use, is famous for making delicious burgers like the Waller with a second patty and bacon. Fries are consistently excellent, and cold drafts are always available to wash down the meal. A $9 pitcher to share adds to the fun, making this spot a must-visit for both locals and travelers passing through. Whether craving a greasy burger, fries, or a green chili burger, the food and friendly people here make every visit memorable. The menu features a wonderful old-school feel with classic burgers made with Certified Angus Beef and other comforting favorites. The Cantina provides a strong connection to live music, featuring local and out-of-town artists in a relaxed atmosphere. The combination of longtime tradition, good food, live music, and genuine hospitality gives this iconic Amarillo destination a personality that is difficult to find elsewhere.
