Not what I ordered, does this look like tea to you?  Main ingredient in an Arnold Palmer. Smells odd
Denise B.

Do NOT slow down, stop, but run away! Seriously I placed an order while traveling because I have been to this franchise in the location where my parents are and really enjoyed the food and service. This location is not your place to stop. Nor place on online order. I ordered early, when I arrived I was told they were out of one of the items as I stood there looking at it in the case. I said it would be fine to substitute. I was ignored, the very nasty tattooed young lady NEVER looked up the order and just said I was going to wait. I watched other people who came in after get there orders. I noticed that all the women would only speak to men "oh so sweet" until a black man came in who was National of Islam faith. He too placed an online order. Such a nice a calm and nice person, he in no way deserved how he was treated. When I asked the young lady where/when my order would be ready she was uncivil. She told me I could cancel the order (which I could not) and she would not cancel the order. Funny they can not fulfill the order and not supply the correct items and feel they get away with that. This is so wrong. There was a woman who came out to find out what the problem was and SHE is the person who Did Not correctly fill the order and complained about she didn't know where her head was when another person asked about their order Please take my advice and do NOT go to this place there are too many problems, no resolution and no one (but my bank) who would answer over 12 attempted calls. Save yourself time, trouble, poor food and poor treatment... go to a drive through.

OUR Biggest The GRIZZ

What a delicious meal! It was a busy Sunday morning but our server was so generous. The sauce is amazing, it's got a kick to it. We enjoyed every bit of it, we even had leftover pancakes.

Dirty tables clog salt shaker.

The store wasn't clean, food all over the floor. Under the tables as well. We were seated to a table that was dirty still with food particles on it. I said something & the sweet old lady said it was from the paper towel she used to clean them. My orange juice was water yellow water with bubbles in it. My hash browns were raw and awful. I would not recommend this store to have a decent meal. Even the salt shaker was wet and clogged up. I had to open it to get salt out of it. This was one awful breakfast.

2-Egg* Ham & Cheese Omelette
Ginny G.

Everything always goes well here. Our waitress was especially kind and we always love the music. We usually order a pancake breakfast but agreed to try something different today. Husband ordered the ham and cheese omelette and ate the whole thing! (Unusual for him!) I ordered the California Bacon Benedict and it was fabulous. Never disappointing.

Scrambled eggs, biscuit, potatos

This location is attached to a truck stop just off the freeway in Amarillo Texas. It's not the "normal" place to find an excellent restaurant fixing comfort food, but we did. This restaurant is part of the Black Bear chain of restaurants and is nicely decorated in that theme. Their menu comes as a newspaper that features good stories about employees along with some photos. The menu is on the inside. We came for dinner and they had a large selection of entrees for every taste and budget. As you can tell from the pictures, the portions are HUGE! Neither of us finished our dinner. My Denver omelette was stuffed with ham, cheese and green peppers. The hash browns were shredded potatoes cooked along with some onions. Delicious! I also had wheat toast which was Texas sized. My wife had the scrambled eggs and she finished them. She raved about the biscuit and took what she didn't eat with her. Service was very good. We were greeted promptly, seated and a server came right over. Our drinks were refilled when we needed them. Very good service. I'd come back to this Black Bear diner.

This was our second visit to this location and I was very hesitant to try it again as our first visit wasn't the best. However I've discovered it's all in what you order. Upon entering we were greeted and given the choice of where we wanted to sit. We chose a booth. Which was a little broken but that was ok. The beautiful bear decor and woodwork makes up for it. We ordered a unsweetened tea and a half sweet half unsweetened tea. Their sweet tea is southern sweet for sure. I enjoyed the unsweetened tea with a little Splenda in it. It tastes fresh brewed and is refreshing on a hot day. I was really waning pancakes so I chose The Grizz even though I knew I wasn't that hungry it gave some of everything to try and was a great price. It was served with 2 huge sweet cream pancakes with had a nice crunch to the exterior and 2 of split them and still left some behind. The meal also came with 3 eggs which I didn't care for there was something off with the flavor, a small piece of ham which was juicy and left me wishing I would have gotten the ham meal, bacon which I would have preferred to have cooked longer, sausage links which were probably the best ones I've ever had as I don't usually eat them and last but not least freshly diced and cooked red potatoes with fresh cooked onions and peppers. The fact that everything was homemade topped the meal off. With this meal comes lots of options to customize to your likening. You choose your eggs, bread option and side option. Who doesn't love options. Hubby ordered the Bobs big bear burger. Wow what a huge burger it's a 10 ounce patty. Only downfall is it doesn't come with cheese. In order to get cheese you have to make it deluxe and add cheese and bacon both to the sandwich. Burger was cooked perfectly to medium well as how it was ordered. The homemade thousand island is really good. He did remove the mayo as they seemed like a bit too much of creamy toppings. The grilled onions really complimented the burger well. The fries were fresh hot crispy and salted just right. Our food did take a bit to come out as they hand patty and cook the burger fresh. Overall great experience and will definitely stop back by again.

My favorite burgers hands down. Whenever I visit Amarillo I make a point to stop here at least…read moreonce. I eat a wide variety of foods from all over and yet there's something about a burger from Coyote Bluff that just hits the spot. It's an appropriately rustic dinning area with a distinct if not unassuming exterior. Come here is your in the mood for burgers. You won't regret it!

My daughter insisted we stop on here during our way thru Amarillo- so we dropped by today right…read moreafter they opened. When you walk in, If they have a table available, they will direct you to it, otherwise they will take your last name and tell you to go back outside and wait until they call your name. The menu is fairly straightforward so orders turned around pretty quick and it was a maximum of 20 to 25 minute wait to turn a table. My husband ordered the Hell burger which had the hot sauce on it and I had a grilled chicken sandwich. Both were absolutely fantastic as well as the shoestring fries were very good! Hubs really liked that his burger had a ton of peppers on it as well as the hot sauce so he felt like he was getting his daily vegetable allotment, lol! The service was actually pretty quick again, I believe this is because the menu was super simple and they had a ton of regulars coming in. You can also order to go if you don't want to wait as several people did, and my understanding is the packaging is fantastic so just as good as if you were sitting in the restaurant. The place is super small and there are tons of stuff on the wall so it's an interesting place. Service was friendly and efficient and now we can check this one off our checklist that we have been here when driving through Amarillo!

We stopped at the legendary Big Texan Steak Ranch on our Route 66 journey. This is a must stop for…read moreanyone passing through. The atmosphere was amazing. Our server was very attentive and cheery. They have a very large two level dining area. The steaks are grilled in plain sight in front of the stage where the world famous 72 oz steak challenge takes place. They bring out fresh baked rolls with your meal. The half order of fried mushrooms was great. My son enjoyed his two 5 oz steak filets, my wife was very pleased with her Prime Rib. I was disappointed with my rib eye, I had to trim off too much fat. The desert was delicious. Overall, don't expect a steak you would be served at a fine steakhouse, but definitely give the Steak Ranch a visit.

We ended up ordering the 1/2 lb Cheeseburger w Mac & Cheese & the 10 ounce Prime Rib w a side Caesar Salad. As mentioned above everything was absolutely fantastic! Our server, Estefania, did an excellent job of taking care of us despite it being a full house & the prices were more than fair ( 2 Entrees, 2 sides & 3 Cocktails ) for $ 100.37. We liked everything so much we came back for Breakfast the following morning & that was terrific as well. The Big Texan is far more than just the novelty of the 72 ounce Steak challenge, it's the total package. Next time we find ourselves in Amarillo we will absolutely have Dinner here again. Thank you Big Texan for such a memorable experience!
