Oh my goodness. This place is a must visit. Delicious food all around. The chopped brisket and the collard greens are both to die for. 10/10 experience.

Food/Taste/ - ordered a Cat Fish Dinner with brisket gumbo and cowboy mac & cheese with a full slab of ribs. The cat fish was recommended and fried superbly with a crispy outside and a moist inside. The lemon based rub added a tartness that went well with the tartar sauce. The mac & cheese was good but quite salty depending on the bite so it wasn't our favorite. The gumbo was very tomato based and quite yummy overall. The ribs were fall off the bone tender that you don't need a knife at all! Absolutely delicious with a touch of smokiness that goes so well with the BBQ sauce. - super friendly owners but it does depend on who you get. The gentleman was chatting with the other table and interacting with their children providing samples of drinks and sides for them to try. The lady was to the point and really quick on the service but think she was juggling the cooking as well. - scary looking place from the outside but cozy once you walk in. It was a tiny place with only 6 tables. And while it's worn, the tables are cleaned and wiped down (but the windowsills are quite dusty with dead flies). It can get quite smokey in the restaurant depending on what's being cookedValue for - delicious food at a reasonable price point. So happy we gave this place a try!

My boyfriend and I came in yesterday for lunch. We got the brisket nachos as our app and they were AMAZING!!! He got the catfish with okra, potato salad and a piece of cornbread. The catfish was so flaky and seasoned amazingly!! Okra was nice and crispy and salty!! I got the cfs with okra and a salad with cornbread as well. That cfs was thick and juicy!! The gravy was made with love I swear!! It was so good!!! The cornbread was delicious!! Not one complaint!! We will be back, that’s for sure!!

Amazing food and authentic look. Not a flashy place but that's what I expected from a place known for it food as looks can be deceiving.

Wonderful family business! Great hospitality and food. I've traveled all over the US and eaten bbq all along the way. These ladies are the real deal. We stopped in on our vacation from Colorado and if there's 1 place in Amarillo that you try for bbq, I'd highly recommend Shi Lee's!!!
