If I could give this place more stars, I would! My boyfriend and I are on a cross country road trip and stopped in here based off of recommendations. Right upon walking in, we were charmed! The staff here is SO incredibly kind and the food is out of this world!! If you're going to get Texas BBQ, this is THE spot! I wish them many more years of service! read more

Everything was delicious, especially the fritter pie. Larry is super friendly and fun. Definitely going back.

The best Frito pie in the world!! I add hot link to mine plus jalapeño and some of their house made barbecue sauce.

Crazy Larry's has been my go to bbq joint since high school (2003). It's just as delicious today as it was back then. They are consistent and I always know what I'll get. I've never had anything bad. On top of the food being amazing, Larry is the sweetest person I've ever met behind the counter of a food place. Him and his wife are so welcoming and kind. If you're disappointed in this food, something isn't right with you. read more

Crazy Larry himself introduced me to his wife and sister; it's a 25-year-old family business. The food is stellar!! Served piping hot and fast, no wait at all. They had a condiment bar with pickles, onions, apricot jam, etc and warm BBQ sauce! I had the rib combo with pulled pork and made a sandwich with the warm bun, coleslaw and pork - perfect! The potato salad had a lot of flavor, not your grandma's wimpy salad. The beans were great but I have a full day ahead of me and didn't want to eat too many...iykyk When I told Larry it was my first time in, he asked how I heard about the joint. "On Yelp!! You have amazing reviews!" He was both happy and humbled, he had no idea. He even gave me a free sticker for my car. read more

I am from Amarillo but moved a few years ago. I make it a priority to always stop at Crazy Larry's to eat before I leave. Great Frito pie! read more

Crazy Larry's Pit Bar-B-Que - Frito pie- Red plate Ribs, Brisket, Sausage, Potato Salad, Beans- Green plate - Caterers Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

I love Larry's! Great ribs, brisket, and probably the best beans in town. They make the frito pie/moose anywhere.

I had the Adkin's Platter with sliced brisket and ribs. The ribs looked absolutely delicious, and Larry assured me that they were better than they looked. He was right! Most of the ribs I've had are coated in BBQ sauce, but these were not. They were hands-down the best ribs I've had in quite a while! The brisket was fall-apart tender. And, to top it off, Larry, Jenny, and Debbie provide excellent service! I'd give 6 stars if I could. read more

Crazy Larry's is a gem of a locally run BBQ joint. This was my first time in and it was great. The service was absolutely fantastic. I got to meet Larry himself who was warm friendly and made me feel right at home. I asked what was good and they suggest the chopped brisket (because you know you've got to have brisket in TX). It did not disappoint. I will absolutely be returning. I suggest checking it out when you get a chance. read more

We love the frito pie - I forget what it's called - but we get the extra thing that adds more stuff to it .... A small order is plenty!!!' We love it when Larry is working the drive thru!!!! And so happy to know they are back open after their fire! The atmosphere for those who dine in is lively with lots of happy people! And their employees always offer quick service with a smile! And suddenly I'm craving frito pie! read more

Best barbecue in town and best costumer service. Grew up eating here my whole life and it still my favorite restaurant.

The staff and service at this place are amazing! They are so fun! Crazy Larry has even manned the drive thru a time or two when I've been through there! He's such a hoot! I love all of their food - my brother did get me hooked on their frito pie ... and they are huge - I order a quarter sized one! I love their sauce as well! It's got space to sit and enjoy your meal! It's not too loud so can visit with friends. read more

Love Crazy Larry's locally owned Larry and Jenn are wonderful awesome customer service and hot yummy bbq I recommend the frito pie by far best in town!!! read more

Amazing food! Must haves are their Fritos pie and their BBQ sandwiches. Very friendly and great customer service!! read more

Crazy Larry's BBQ need to come with a disclaimer. If you do not like beans then this place is not for you. If you like beans then you will love this place. The reason I say that is because to me (maybe others will disagree) but there is a strong bean flavor to most everything even the BBQ sauce. The first time I had it I was thrown off and not a fan but when you get the BBQ Frito pie it will make that dish shine. The Frito Pie is where this place shines and gets my 4 star rating from. read more

Traveling thru and wanted some good 'ol Texas BBQ. Found this place on Yelp & glad we stopped. Not only was the food good, but the owners were a delight. Such a friendly environment makes the meal even more enjoyable! Definitely try the cobbler! read more

Delicious food, amazing service and clean restaurant. They really treat you like family when you eat there. Their ribs and sliced beef were the best. read more

We wanted bbq on our road trip. Found this place on Yelp since our first choice sold out. We ordered the brisket and pulled pork. The coleslaw was super soggy and the potato salad had way too much mustard IMO. The beans were just okay. The "cherry cobbler" was basically a dump cake with canned cherry pie filling. Larry needs to update his menu board since they no longer sell some of the items. Upside: The employee at the drive up window was friendly. read more

This is the worst BBQ I have had in my life. The mac n cheese was watery and disgusting. The beef was also somehow watery and bland. It tasted like boiled beef no hint of smoke or depth. How is this even possible to have BBQ this bad in Texas?? I am speachless. Also the workers are NOT WEARING MASKS. DO NOT EAT HERE. read more

Best (and biggest) ribs I've ever eaten. Would dine here again in a heartbeat! Sauce was on point as well.

I always love eating here and the employee's Are fine people. This is my birthday choice as well When I say good people other Texans understand read more

Love it! Get the Frito pie it is legendary and make it a moose. Crazy Larry is a great guy.

Was visiting a friend ( He's recovering well) at Northwest Texas Hospital here in Amarillo and asked around about a good place for bbq. Several suggested a "Great" place. Yes! Great food with tons of choices. I met Larry. He was easy to pick out. Genuine guy! Thanks everyone at this fine establishment. God Bless! read more

Crazy Larry's Pit Bar-B-Que - Got me a sticker! - Caterers Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

This place was very good. Not being from Texas I wasn't quite sure of the crazy frito pie, but let me tell you it was delicious- I mean, how couldn't it be??! The Mac and cheese was more liquidy then I thought it would be based off of pictures, but still very good! The star of the show for me was the beans though- I don't know what they do to them but they really are a magical fruit at Larry's. A great locally owned place to stop in amarillo! read more

You know if they don't ask "lean or fatty" when ordering Brisket, then it's not real BBQ. This is NOT Texas BBQ, this is a waste of time and money. Don't let how full it is fool you, it's bad. The baked beans were good, but it's only cause I like garlicky things, they are not very good otherwise. The Brisket is dry and NOT actually smoked (If it is then it's not for any significant amount of time). I'm honestly astonished that this place is in business. DO NOT waste your time here, go somewhere else or skip it. It's not worth it, what so ever. The ham was dry, the brisket was dry, and the hot links tasted like canned sausage. Only 2 stars because it's cheap. Takeaways: Absolutely unpalatable, unpleasant, waste of a meal. read more

So, I don't get it. I see all kinds of great reviews, but the place is mediocre at best. I've eaten barbeque from coast to coast and consider it an art form... The meats aren't bad. The ribs were fabulous (just the right amount of spice, And a nice thick bark worth meat just falling off the bones), but the brisket sandwich was disappointing. It tasted like it had been sitting, and had a school cafeteria feel. The house barbeque sauce is sickly sweet - and completely over powers the meat. The sides were an absolute mess. The mac and cheese tasted like raw flour, the baked beans were soggy and so sloppy they looked like soup, the coleslaw was inedible and the potato salad probably came from a deli. Since we're only in Texas tonight, I feel like we missed out on good Texas barbeque read more

Larry's nuts lol. For an owner to be involved as much as he is that's fantastic. The food is always great!

The food was amazing, the service was very fast. Once you pay they directly hand you the food. Stoped here on my way across the country and definitely recommend! Also Larry was the nicest person i've met read more

Wow if I could leave 10 stars I would. This is a great off the beaten path in Amarillo. We are here visiting and this was a recommendation from a server at Hooters. When you walk in the door your greeted by Larry(owner) and his wife Jennifer. They are amazing and welcoming. It was like they were welcoming us in to their home as they went through the menu, which is all homemade from the bbq sauce to the potato salad(which was amazing) to the cobblers and sweet tea. You will not be disappointed in the food or the service. Keep doing what your doing Larry, your friends from Fl. read more

One of the best bbq places in Amarillo and Larry is always soo friendly! Come here with my family when I am in town and have forgot to review it til this time. You have to try his turkey plate! Comes with coleslaw, the best beans and some of the best potato salad! Meat is always so juicy and flavorful. Also has great sliced brisket!! If you get the frito pie make sure to order only 1/4 or max 1/2 because it's seriously HUGE!! Also LOVE that they have Christian music playing all day! Can't beat this place! read more

Crazy Larry's is crazy good! The brisket sandwich my wife got was flavorful and moist! I got the full order of the Crazy Frito Pie which includes chopped brisket, beans, cheese, and their delicious warm BBQ sauce. I also made it a moose(added chili) and put jalapenos and onions on it! The flavor was dynamite! I never a Frito pie could be this good! The service was excellent as well! If you're ever in Amarillo add this to your dining list! read more

love, Love, LOVE this place from food to atmosphere and Larry himself! We make it a stop anytime we come through Amarillo.

But even more than the food, the family and the man behind it always greets us like old friends with a warm smile genuine gratitude. read more

Crazy Larry's Pit Bar-B-Que - Watson Family - Princeton TX - Caterers Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

The first time I thought this place was okay but the second and third times I thought it was really good! I have had the ribs a couple times and the Frito pie. I like that they have smaller portions for lower prices for someone like me that's on a budget. I'd love to order a large meal and have a bunch of leftovers but I actually have leftovers even with the smaller portions. The guys that work there are super nice and very helpful and give you good tips. I'm up in that section of town occasionally so I usually just stop by when I'm in the area. They have one thing that I haven't seen anywhere else, stewed apricots in a bowl by the condiments and they are delicious.. I think I would come back just for that. A spoonful of it makes a great side to your barbecue. They have a drive-thru although I rarely use drive-thrus but a nice convenience for those that don't want to have to get out to their car to pick up a to-go order. There is plenty of parking and it's easy to spot from the street. They don't have tap water available but they sell their water bottles for only $0.50. I guess they had a problem with teens coming in and asking for a glass of water and then using it to drink the pop without paying for it. It's a shame those that cheat make it harder for the rest of us but I can't blame them for changing their policy. read more

Gotta brisket sandwich with beans. Soo good. Definitely coming back when I'm in town. Beans kinda tasted like chili without the meat. They made my food faster than I could pay. read more

I have to say I've never been a huge fan of bbq till moving to Texas. I have tried several bbq places and this one is the best! From the rib sandwich, beans, sauce! The cobbler is seriously delicious! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Food is always fresh and delicious. Seriously one of my favorite places. Thank you for always being so consistently awesome!! read more

Yet another Yelp failure. What's with the 4-5 star reviews? Staff were fine, prices reasonable. But the food. C"mon. I had expectations that were not remotely met. Brisket was dry. Sausage and Hot Link were no better than what's offered in your local supermarket. Beans too salty. Potato salad had an off flavor. Part of it wanted to be mustard based, the other vinegar. Not sure what they were going for. Cole slaw was actually ok. Pass on this place. There has to be better BBQ in Amarillo. read more

So far I'm impressed. I've only tried the Frito Pie so far, but it was DAMN GOOD! I can't say anything about the actual BBQ yet, but you can bet I'm dying to try it now. For $9, you get a full Frito Pie, which is a huge plate of Fritos, baked beans, pulled pork, and cheese. For an extra $1, you can get it "moose" style - which means you also get chili. To me, you HAVE to get it "moose" style! The crispiness of the chips mixed with the tender baked beans, hearty chili, chewy pork and the gooey cheese make for a very tasty dish. The "cherry" on top was the BBQ sauce. It's sweet and tangy and I want to put it on everything. lol There's no waiter service. You order up front and then carry your food to your table on a tray. After you eat, you have to bus your own table. You put your plates and silverware into the bucket and the napkins and cups into the trash. It's not a lot to ask, but I don't like having to clean up after myself when I eat out. As much as I loved the Frito Pie, it's impossible to rate an restaurant completely based on it. Even if the pulled pork, which is the only "BBQ" aspect of this Frito Pie, was bad it would've been masked by the chili, cheese, and sauce. So for now, Crazy Larry's earns a solid three stars. Stay tuned for a future update when I go back to try the ribs and brisket. I can't wait to go back again! Pros: best Frito Pie, great BBQ sauce, takes credit cards Cons: closed Sundays, you have to bus your own table, needs a renovation read more
