Upon entering, the friendly girl at the counter was occupied, and one of the bakers and possibly owners came out to take care of me so I wouldn't have to wait! Talk about awesome customer service. Plenty of poptarts, cupcakes, etc. to pick from. I chose the Very Berry Strawberry and Snickers Cupcake. I do t want to embellish or over do it... but I'm not kidding when I say these may be the best 2 d@@n cupcakes I have ever had!!! They explode with flavor in your mouth. The strawberry was vivid, the sweet but not overly sweet, the cake and the cream were extremely creamy and moist! The Snickers cupcakes.... Jesus took the wheel on this one, lol. It's insanely good. Little sweeter than the Strawberry but so tasty! The frosting again was perfect in consistency. The flavor of caramel, Snickers, and I think a little peanut butter absolutely lights up your taste buds!!!! If you are in Amarillo...heck Texas hah....you need to make a pitstop here and try these cupcakes. It is so clear why they won Cup Cake Wars. Absolutely fantastic....and the best part, they kept their prices reasonable at $2.85!!!!!

They were so nice and made it feel like a family restaurant. I'd come again! I got the chicken stake with their special lavender lemonade drink. I normally don't get alcohol so I'm not sure if what I paid was too expensive, but the food was priced very well:)

I feel like my overwhelming takeaway from Butterlove, is that they are expensive. The food is good…read moreand the portions aren't small. But compared to what you can get for the same price at other spots in town they are on the pricey side. Something that really irks me is that they have started charging for water in a cup. The last time I went I got water is a reusable plastic cup and I got charged 25 cents for it. I'm just like, "really guys? You're going to charge us for water?" As mentioned, the food is solid and they have decent menu. The ambiance is bright and comfy. The music is the right volume. Something that I find odd is that they have different music in the kitchen than they do in the dinning area. There is a bar set up if you want a drink. They also have several TVs with various shows on. It's a good set up. Ultimately, I'll be back. But I'll also complain again about how expensive it is.

Our waitress took the time out to explain the menu items and recommend her favorites and when the food arrived at lightning speed, we realized that their famous "silver-dollar" pancakes were actually bigger than our faces! The crispy hash browns and accompanying sides were also massive and served fresh to-order. I was also really happy to see that they had Kosher options like turkey sausage and steak omelets. All-in-all, Ye Olde gives you a lot of bang for your buck and I would def recommend this spot to anyone who's an early riser like myself.

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.

I had the imposter with breaded mushrooms. Super crispy Cremini mushrooms with great crunch but the rest was kinda meh, romaine and drizzle of sauce and balsamic. At least with the pickled onions there was a little palate tease. Also tried the Al pastor with jackfruit. Opted for this version on a salad and it's a whopping serving size. Hearty serving of jackfruit with plenty of sauce and dressing. Had nice little nibs of some crunch too. Service was super, super nice. I'd call the inside dive-ish. Totally relaxed and chill ambiance. I'll be back to try more items! My one dislike was that I don't care for the balsamic drizzle on either dish... just doesn't pair well with these flavors. Side of pineapple was yummy to balance the heaviness of both dishes.

A friend sent me the link to it on Facebook because she thought I might be interested and she knew that I like to try out new places. Today I was going to the thrift stores over near Plains and Adams so it seemed a perfect time to go check this place out. It was a little tricky to find because I hadn't been north of Amarillo Boulevard much in my time here but I had an idea of where it was and just when I thought I might have passed it without seeing it, I spotted it. As I walked up to the door someone must have seen me approaching and he held the door open for me which was a nice introduction to the place. He instructed me where to go to order my food. They only had one copy of the menu sitting out so the girl who was already looking at it held it out to share. The guy that held the door open for me had already recommended the Chicken and Waffles and I just decided to get that. It came with a drink. It turned out they actually had Big Red on tap. Unfortunately it was not the zero calorie version but I threw caution to the wind and decided even though it was high caffeine and high calories I would just treat myself. It took quite a while for the chicken to be ready. One of the guys later explained it's because they are required to cook it for 22 minutes to ensure that is cooked inside. Well, it was perfect. It smelled wonderful, it looked wonderful, and it tasted even better. If there was a downside it was only that it was so hot that I had to wait for it to cool off enough to not burn my tongue. You get your choice of what kind of chicken you want and I chose drumsticks. Those drumsticks were fat and juicy with a wonderful coating and was some of the best chicken I've ever eaten. I'll be honest, I'm not a big pancake and waffle fan, although I do like the concept of Chicken and Waffles. But their waffle could turn me around completely. Probably the best waffle I ever had. The Chicken and Waffles was $10.99 including the drink, close to $12 with the tax and worth every penny. I took a couple pictures of the menu to post so others could see the kinds of food they serve. It's billed as a soul food place and it is Southern Cooking but it doesn't have all the dishes you sometimes find in other places like sweet potatoes and collard greens. It does have fried okra and I didn't try it but I bet it's delicious. Next time. I've had fried chicken three or four places in Amarillo and been surprised that more places didn't serve it. This place was definitely the best I'd eaten although there was another place that came in a close second. There is actually a small market along with the cafe and it was bustling the whole time I was there. One of the owners, at least I think he was, said they'd only been open 90 days and business had been beyond their greatest expectations. That made me happy because I love to see small businesses and Mom and Pop places succeed. Everything looked clean and I saw them wiping down tables the instant people got up and left them. That was a good sign. And the employees and owners couldn't have been more welcoming. By the time I left they knew my name and I bet they call me by it the next time I go in. The best way to get return customers besides offering awesome food is to make them feel welcomed and valued so they will want to come back . Oh, and I forgot to mention, to pay back the community for giving them such good business the first 90 days they had a free food day last Saturday which I didn't hear about until I saw the newspaper article about it. They invited all their customers and members of the community to come in and eat a complimentary meal to show their appreciation for the neighborhood support. I don't think I've ever heard of a restaurant that did that before. Bravo!

We came into the Golden Waffle for the first time. My disabled husband can barely walk and definitely can't stand in a long line so we got a table and my son was going to place our orders. An employee promptly pounced on us telling us we can't sit down until we have our food. I read a review on this place about this also happening to a woman and her 84 year old mother. This place is not ADA compliant and that's unlawful and discrimination. I will be reporting them and if you have an elderly or disabled loved one you should not give them your business. These owners should be ashamed of themselves. This is a poor business practice and everyone should be aware of how badly you or someone you love will be treated here. read more

My experience at Golden Waffle was beyond disappointing. I ordered a vegan, gluten-free waffle, and it arrived cold and completely wrong. To make matters worse, my whole order was messed up, forcing my family to eat without me. As a person of color, I couldn't help but notice that management was dismissive and unhelpful to us, while they were friendly and attentive to the white, Caucasian customers around us. It's disheartening to be treated this way, and it left a bad taste in all of our mouths. If you're looking for quality food and respectful service, I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This was easily one of the worst waffle restaurant experiences I've ever had. The food was disappointing, but the management made it even worse. The staff came across as snickering, judgmental, and unprofessional, creating an atmosphere that made customers feel unwelcome instead of appreciated. The overall vibe felt uncomfortable and outdated, rather than friendly or inviting. I walked in expecting breakfast and left wondering why anyone would want to come back. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this place based on my experience. read more
