    Salmon salad
    Maggie L.

    Nice fast casual place in Amarillo. Just off I 40. Hubby had grilled salmon salad, and I had a side salad, and the very best old-fashioned I've ever had. Every time we passed through Amarillo. We have to stop here.

    Staying in Amarillo for the night after a long day of driving. Wanted to try this place because it's something not available to us where we live. Would give 0 out of 5 stars if I could. We sat for at least 10 minutes without a server greeting us or taking our drink order. I could see at minimum six employees standing around, standing around on their phones, showing customers things on their phones. My husband and I got up and walked out. The manager on duty followed us out because I'd left my eyeglasses case on the table, which I greatly appreciated. She asked why we'd left, explained that they were coming off of a rush, and that many of the staff were in the back recovering said rush. That was not true. Two hostesses at the front, manager to our right, three people behind the bar, and a few other staff scattered around.

    Monte Cristo
    Hector B.

    I'm really glad we stopped here! I've been talking about the Monte Cristo for over twenty years with my buddy. We both really enjoyed IT here. It tasted like what we remember from bennigan's back in the day. The fries were seasoned, so tasty as well. Queso and chips were on, but.... Service was solid, and the environment was clean sports bar, but upscale.

    Lemon drop martini

    This was a good restaurant. The waiter was very attentive. The manager even came over and asked us how our meal was. The atmosphere was pleasant and quiet enough for my husband and I to hear each other when we talked. My husband and I both had the 12 ounce ribeye and they were juicy, tender and cooked the way we asked. We both had a loaded baked potato and it was nicely done and well loaded. I had a side salad with ranch and it was very fresh and tasty. My husband had the broccoli and it was tasty and well cooked. I asked for a lemon drop martini. It was not on the drink menu. The waiter was very helpful and showed me a blueberry martini which I declined. He said the bartender could probably make a usual lemon drop martini because she was very good. He was right it was a very good lemon drop martini. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Monte Cristo Sandwich and onion rings
    David Y.

    My favorite Monte Cristo sandwich of all time was from a restaurant that is no more - Bennigan's. I've been looking for a replacement, and for a sandwich that shouldn't be that hard to make, it seems that few restaurants can do it well. This is one of the few that can! It was good, though a bit on the soggy side - I expect it would be better if it had been eaten at the restaurant rather than delivered. I was not disappointed, and will be trying them again.

    Service was great for my visit - the bartender was working double by handling my table and a busy bar. She was so so sweet Food was delicious - I had the Monday Steak Special (11.99 for an 8oz sirloin and two sides) and I added on some fried shrimp. Great prices and great portions too. The feel of this restaurant is sports bar meets country spot. I really enjoyed my dinner and the whole experience. Make sure to sign up for their rewards program too!

    Ribs and Baby Back Ribs & Pow Wow Shrimp
    Jann S.

    Really good food and great service. My hubby, son and I are driving through Amarillo and stopped at Aspen. We started with potato skins and chili. Both were great and the chili was excellent. My son and I had the sirloin and veggies. The steak was excellent. My hubby had the ribs and shrimp. The ribs were so tender they were amazing. Shawn was excellent too. Typical sport bar with classic rock music.

    Food and service were wonderful. The domestic draft prices are highly inflated. Almost double what you'll fine elsewhere in the area.

    We had to stop at the Big Texan while traveling Route 66 through Amarillo!…read more Our original plan was to come for dinner. I tried getting a reservation just a few hours before we arrived, but there was nothing available, and I wasn't able to get anyone on the phone. Once we drove past that evening, we understood why, the place was absolutely PACKED! I had seen that waits can sometimes reach 1-1.5 hours. That said, if you do have to wait, this is probably one of the better places to do it because there is SO much randomness to explore. Between the gift shop, Western décor, photo ops, and everything else going on, you could easily entertain yourself for an hour. We changed plans and made a reservation for 9 AM the next morning instead, and I'm actually really glad we did! On a Thursday morning it was quiet and relaxed, and we basically had our pick of all the goofy photo opportunities without fighting the dinner crowds. We shared the steak and eggs, and it was a perfect breakfast for two. The steak was seasoned perfectly and cooked really well. The entire place is exactly what you hope for from an over-the-top Texas Route 66 roadside stop: rustic, quirky, cow prints everywhere, a big gift shop, and lots to look at. We also discovered a whole crew of cats hanging around outside near the patio in the morning, which was an unexpected and entertaining bonus. One disappointment for us as Route 66 souvenir collectors: they have TWO penny press machines, but unfortunately BOTH were out of order when we visited. We were so sad! Overall, going at 9 AM turned out to be a great move. You still get the full Big Texan experience, but with way fewer people and plenty of time for pictures. Definitely one of those classic, quirky Route 66 stops you have to experience at least once!

    It's a cool restaurant, and has its western charm. However, I was just completely disappointed in…read morethe service. We did get seated quickly, but the service was just slow. We did arrive for during the early lunch service so it was still fairly empty, however the food took quite a bit to come out. When it did come out, it had me questioning how long it was actually out for. The food just came out cold/lukewarm. We also shared our meal with our 2 adopted flies who wouldn't stop pestering us. The server was not great as well, they would help us and then disappear for a period of time before coming to check. Overall, it would be a really amazing place if the food and service were A1, but unfortunately the only good thing about this place is the cool appearance.

    If you are looking for white tablecloths, subtle lighting, or a quiet place to whisper sweet…read morenothings, keep driving past Coyote Bluff Cafe (often locally called the "Coyote Bluu" or simply "The Bluff") in Amarillo, Texas. But if your idea of culinary heaven involves a grease-stained paper liner, an old-school Texas roadhouse vibe, and a burger that requires structural support, you have arrived at the right place. Nestled just a few blocks off Interstate 40 in a historic, diminutive former dance hall moved wholesale from neighboring Claude, Texas, Coyote Bluff is tiny. With only about 12 tables packed into its 1,000 square feet, the atmosphere is alive with a loud, friendly hum, a dirt parking lot, and a vintage bathtub floating full of ice and cold beer bottles. The place is amazing!!!! The unique steaming process is really amazing. You have to try the chili cheese fries to go with it. The menu keeps its focus tight, centering around half-pound patties of lean Texas ground beef cooked to order. While traditional options like the Hickory Burger and the Green Chili Cheese Burger are stellar, the undisputed heavyweight titleholder here is the legendary Burger from Hell. I had to try it, my wife opted for the Chicken Fried Steak. Many approach the "Hell Burger" with great trepidation, expecting it to be more of a gimmick built strictly on painful, mouth-numbing heat. Instead, it offers a beautifully layered flavor profile. The beef patty with Tabasco and their proprietary "Coyote Hell Sauce," then smothers it in gooey melted cheese, grilled onions, and fresh, vibrant sautéed jalapeños. It arrived on a toasted onion bun, it lands a solid 7 out of 10 on the heat scale. But rather than scorching your palate, it wraps it in a vinegary, spicy, deeply savory warmth. This place also serves up classic, heavy-hitting Texas roadhouse appetizers: Each of these are amazing sides and are worth of mentioning, First the Cheese Fries with Green Chiles, which I had with my burger and my wife had with her Chicken fried steak, it is served on a massive aluminum platter, these fresh-cut fries are heavily blanketed in melted cheese and mild green chiles. They are a mandatory companion to the burgers.  Other appetizers worth of note, are the Texas Red Chili & Green Chili Stew: The thick, hearty green chili stew is packed with meat and mild green peppers, offering a wonderful warming comfort, especially during cool Panhandle days.  and any of the Fried options ranging from baskets of battered fried pickles, garlic mushrooms, and stuffed jalapeños. Because everything is cooked to order and the dining room is incredibly compact, expect a wait during lunch rushes or weekends. However, that time spent waiting in the dirt lot among locals and passing road-trippers is part of the charm. Coyote Bluff Cafe doesn't try to be anything other than a spectacular, small-town Texas burger joint, and it executes that identity flawlessly. This is a MUST Stop in Texas

Worst instance now making me leave this review...and not coming back. Started off just standing waiting to be seated, not even in the door because of a group of people. Said they were a big party made sense why it may be hard to get in. Should of just left then. Lackluster attention from staff for everyone that came in after that group. Saw one couple even immediately be seated though after waiting 20 min with 3 people ahead of us and another group behind. (Happened to know the waitress apparently) Saw one table just up and leave due to being ignored and waiting on ticket to the point they left some cash and up and left in a very bad mood. Got told multiple times a 10-15 min wait due to tables needing cleaned off. There were 4 open tops that were empty throughout restaurant, the whole time and then another 3 opened up while waiting. Then was told 20-30 min wait due to the kitchen being backed up. At that point we just up and left combined with the VIP treatment of people being able to skip ahead of not 1 or 2 but 4 other groups of only 2 to 4 people with at least 5 or 6 open tables. I don't leave reviews often and do for great experiences and bad experiences this was one of the worst. The waitresses were clueless high school or 20 somethings not wanting to actively work and instead argue over whose fault it was a table left or why people would have their name written down and instead would leave due to the treatment of even just being seated, but somehow it's the kitchens fualt. 10/10 do not recommend and don't bother.
