Great Meal! Favorite dishes and some original dishes you've never thought of!!! Like kimchi fries YUM! An original take on "ribs." Gotta' try 'em! We had drunken noodles with veggies. Bad news no tofu. Good news no bell peppers. Don't you get tired of all the peppers in Asian food? Service is awesome! Our server Taylor, was so personable , and she had great menu tips! Food came out quickly, hot and as described. The atmosphere is downtown and very trendy. read more

Where do I start? How do I start? This place doesn't deserve any rating. Service is not even to basic standard. We were here on our way to dallas from ABQ. Based on the reviews we wanted to try the fusion food. We went in around 8:30pm We ordered Mango Cart for myself and Drunken Noodles for kids (No spice level) Curry Chicken with Fried Rice and Lo mein. While we waited for food, my SO ordered a Ginger cocktail. Waitress forgot about it. We had to remind her and she did not even remember what we ordered. They were so busy they had only 2 other tables to handle. Other waitress with glasses is on phone or her back turned against the tables. Cocktail was way too sweet and not even a hint of ginger, it was definitely not worth the 15$. The price is not even listed on menu. We got our first food item at 9:15pm when we requested that our kids were hungry and sleepy, 45 mins after we got in and ordered. Waitress said they were busy with take out, I guess people spending time to visit restaurant are not important. Couple more mins and we were ready to pay for drinks and walkout. Curry Chicken came first and rice came after 5 minutes and waitress did not even think about giving us knives when I ordered chicken which needs knives and took us a while to get her attention as she had her backs turned towards the wall. The waitress kept walking away and sitting down with another couple at a table. Lo mein was made with Ramen noodles. One more thing to note here, the chef keeps walking out of kitchen with food and doesn't even wear and hair net, so dont be alarmed if you find hair in your food If you value your time and mental peace, dont go eat here. read more

We went on a Thursday evening, the bartender is phenomenal and made awesome drinks. The food came out timely and we had 0 complaints. The beef jerky and sticky rice is a must, we had the orange chicken and the short rib bacon burger. Both were excellent but the burger won by a landslide. read more

Awesome food! Smoked Salmon Roll appetizer, Rib Eye Steak, and Hot and Spicy Beef were EXCELLENT! But this is NOT fast food! One waitress on the floor and two in the kitchen. Took an hour to get our food! Saturday night and light traffic. We arrived and two other tables already had their food. We were next. Didn't see but one togo order. Real friendly service though. read more

So I'm back in Amarillo on business. On my first night, I decided to return to the restaurant I enjoyed eating at six months ago (when I had lunch with co-workers). The restaurant did not look very busy for dinner - a party of four and two other tables (with one leaving shortly). I placed my order and then I wait. As I waited, a few more people arrived but the restaurant still had a lot of empty tables. I waited and waited. I was getting tired, hungry, and restless. I realized it was over an hour from the time I walked in and still hadn't been served. When I turned around, I saw that the two tables behind me were served their meals even though they came in after me. It was 7:45pm when I decided I had waited long enough. I hesitated but decided to let the waitress know I was going to leave. Just as I stood up, she came to my table with my plate. I told the waitress that it had been over an hour and I needed to get back. To my surprise, she clapped back with an attitude. She told me I could take the food to go, I could eat it now, or I could just leave. No apologies. Her tone of voice and attitude caught me off guard. She then started venting to me that there was only one cook in the back and I came in during the middle of their dinner rush hour ("Wow, sorry I came for dinner," is what I was thinking as she complained to me). I didn't say anything as she vented. First of all, if she had told me this when I first walked in (that there was only one cook in the back) or communicated with me while I waited, I would've understood but no, there was no communication from her. Second, I didn't see a restaurant full of people nor did I see a lot of traffic of people coming in for take outs or deliveries. Third, why was I the only table without my dinner when I was not the last to arrive? All of these were said silently as I listened to her vent. She then asked again (loudly, of course) what I wanted to do - that I could take the food to go, eat it now, or just leave!! I quickly ran those scenarios in my head and couldn't fathom eating in her presence or having anything to do with the meal after her confrontation with me. I told her I'd leave. I was dining alone and had to walk back to the hotel alone and wanted to get back before it started getting dark in downtown Amarillo. The thought of eating in that environment (and I'm sure she'd expect a tip to boot) didn't appeal to me. It was a really shitty experience and took all the pleasant memories away of this place. The waiting was one thing but the hostility and the attitude from the waitress leaves a really bad taste. read more

Disappointed dining experience. Prior reviews on Yelp led me to Gooney's with expectations that the venue was eclectic and the food was savory. Unfortunately Gooney's did not live up to these expectations. . I ordered the Veggiie Delight that arrived swimming in a sea of soy sauce. Two customers in the restaurant. Bartender/server showed no interest in either as opposed to Cheers whet everybody knows your name and are always glad you came. Gooney's vibe is nothing special nor was my meal. Would I go back? Doubtful. read more

Food tasted yummy! But the restaurant is severely understaffed!!! The bartender was also our waitress. There was only one cook with maybe an assistant (not sure)? The food took 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to our table, we all started melting down (the toddler made it a full hour though!!). I recommend waiting till they get more staff. read more

Got to the restaurant shortly before the dinner rush. Only one server, but she worked hard! She managed to keep up with the room, even after a large table filled up and several four-tops came in. I didn't have to wait very long for anything. I'm not sure if it was really "fusion" food, but my Drunken Noodles were some of the best I've had. Reasonably priced. read more

Great food with a unique twist on flavors and offerings. Amazing service too! Lots of street parking available.

Awesome spot downtown , really enjoyed my time while watching MNF. Yes I would do the Kimchi fries again, delish! I sat at the bar so everything was quick and easy with the bartender. A little slow on monday but a nice change of pace. read more

I stopped by for a late lunch while traveling through Amarillo for work. I got the red curry chicken and cheese wontons. Both were delicious. It was so much food that I asked for a to-go box and had the rest later that day...so it was doubly delicious! The server was friendly and even though I came in about 30 mins before closing, I didn't feel rushed out at all. read more

Great food and service! Expect a wait for food. Favorite dish is the Thai Steak Asada. Amazing flavor and perfect portion.

Our party really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. We got wings and Rangoon for appetizers and all would have rated those a 5/5- the sauce on the wings was delicious, and the Rangoon was something we have never tried elsewhere (and was amazing). The main courses we had came with mixed reviews- anywhere from a 3 to 5/5. Overall, we had a great experience here and would go back when we visit Amarillo again. read more

I was invited here by a friend who recommended the pork chops but had never had them. They were recommended to her by a friend. We ordered the plate and shared it because it came with two thick pork chops, one egg, vegetables and rice. I'm pretty picky about my food and I'm very picky about my budget. I think the whole plate was $15 and splitting it was more than worth it. We both got enough to eat and always get good service. I tried one of their others but nothing is as impressive as the pork chops so far. read more

Sorry but this was not what I was expecting when I walked in. Gooney's has a odd array of food. For ME, MYSELF, & I... it doesn't work. But you decided for yourself. Food - Meh. Service - Meh. read more

Go for the delicious kimchi fries and friendly table service. Stay for the insanely tasty jalapeño bacon wontons. Yeah. Like that. read more

Gooney's is amazing. You better get the Jalapeño bacon cheese wontons and the kimchi fries. They will change your life. The atmosphere is good. It has TVs with sports but you don't feel like they are in your face but if you want to watch you can. Great happy hour specials from 4-7 Monday-Friday and week long specials too!!! Clean and friendly. You gotta gonif you in Downtown Amarillo! read more

I had 1 cocktail. A Moscow Mule. It was plenty good. Well balanced. The place was empty because today I'm a functional alcoholic and drinking at 11am. The bathrooms could be cleaner considering there was no one there. That's petty, and it's not like it was trashed. I'd go back. read more

Went to Gooney's last week for lunch. Walked in at approximately 1145 to a mostly empty restaurant. Maybe 3 other tables were occupied. Waited for 20 mins to be greeted. I ended up walking up to the bar and found a few menus. Told the others to make sure they knew what they wanted when the server came back with out drinks. Ordered drinks and waiting another 20 mins before finally leaving. All in all, sat in the restaurant for over 40 minutes without ever being served a drink or allowed to order. I could understand if the restaurant was packed but it was dead. Now I know why. Won't go back. read more

Gooney's is delicious. We ordered half the menu and loved everything! The salmon pad Thai was excellent. Our only complaint was that the beer tap was down, and the service is slow. We had a long wait for our food but at least when it arrived it was fresh and tasty. read more

Great food and service! Grilled pork chops was awesome! Sautéed veggies and fried rice was delicious!

Place was closed at one point, but open on second attempt. Red curry chicken was awesome and service was great!

Do not eat here. Walked in and the place smelled like dirty sink water and the interior gives the same impression of a jail house dining room. The server who was serving us seemed over worked and stressed out and gave us the impression that she was angry with our table. The food was decent but not enough to justify the bad smell and ambiance combined with the bad service. This is the easiest 1 star review I've ever had in my life. read more

Great service and food recommendations from our waitress. Red curry was very tasty. The kimchi fries, outstanding

My sister and I ate here. We were both happy with our food and would definitely go back.

Didn't have a chance to pay compliments to the Chef(mom or son?) so this is the next best thing, I guess. Ordered the Red Curry Chicken. I've had what I thought was good Thai food in the past, but apparently I didn't know what I didn't know. The chicken was clearly hand-trimmed and only the premium cuts made it into the dish. It was perfectly cooked, with every slice moist and of the perfect texture. All the vegetables were fresh and thoroughly cleaned. It sounds like a weird observation, but as a trained chef, I notice these things. And the curry paste, if I had to guess, was not an off-the-shelf brand found in a grocery store but a family recipe of mixed spices only known to them. The flavor stood out as special to me. And in terms of heat, it was just as a I like it - just above medium. Enjoyed every bite. A top contender for one's last meal. read more

This place is soooo delicious. Here's what you need to do: order the jalapeño bacon wontons and kimchi fries as an appetizer. Then order the pork chop and Thai steak asada as your meals. Everything I've had from here is delicious! The only negatives I have are that the wait staff is slow and they can't make very good mixed drinks. read more

With a name like Gooney's what could possibly go wrong in the land of the Sod poodles? Not being locals and hungry we took a chance and did we luck out. Kimchi French fries were so good we devoured the platter in no time. Blueberry goat cheese salad with mandarin oranges was perfect. Salmon sushi roll nicely presented and again delicious. Wasabi contributed. Good selection of beers and good service. Only lingering regret: forgot to ask What exactly is s Sod Poodle? read more

Gooney's - Hot n' Spicy Beef - Sports Bars Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Gooney's is a unique place downtown that doesn't disappoint. Atmosphere is not great but so far the food has been. Not only is the food great, it's reasonable. We normally order the pork chops and believe me, they don't disappoint. They are grilled to perfection along with the vegetables and rice . We also get the jalapeño bacon wontons and they are excellent. Not to hot but just a little kick to them. Chicken fried rice is also good. Wait staff is always super friendly. read more

Few were in the restaurant, and I was the only one sitting at the bar. I ordered drunken noodles with beef, and my wait began. After 40 minutes of waiting, I was about to get up and leave but I heard discussion about my order from the kitchen - they'd gotten it wrong and mixed it in with a large to-go order that was sitting on the pick-up counter. The server asked me if I minded chicken in the order as well - I replied I ordered beef. I saw she took one of the Styrofoam containers and dumped it out on a plate in the kitchen, and they started picking stuff out of it as if I couldn't see that. She then trotted out the plate and dumped it before me as if everything was fine - no apology for waiting over 40 minutes or picking through my food. I said I wasn't going to eat it, and they wisely decided to not charge me. I left the picked-through order on the bar where she dumped it and went elsewhere. Never again. read more

Great food and great family that owns this establishment! David has definitely tried to expand Asian cuisine and experimenting with different items to help bridge the gap between Asian food and its consumers. read more

Got the drunken noodle and it was SO good. We will be coming back more! Definitely recommend!

I had the Drunken Noodles with Chicken. It was a tough choice because other items on the menu were tempting as well but it was a great choice. They were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice and fresh broccoli. Would definitely return to try other items. read more

This place is absolutely great! All of our food was fresh, timely, and very flavorful. The buns were toasted and all of the temperatures were great. They nailed the kimchi fries! Portions were generous and our server, Rachel, was very helpful. Easily a new go-to place for us. read more
