    Delicious beef stew with  cornbread.  Cobbler was so so.
    MaryLou D.

    Tonight was my first night of trying out this place out even though I've been in Amarillo for two years. To be honest, I always liked the name but I thought it was just a hamburger place and that didn't interest me. This evening I was in the parking lot of Big Lots after doing some business at Wells Fargo and started looking on Yelp for a place to have dinner. I was looking for someplace inexpensive but good. When I came across this place I took another look at it and between the comments and the pictures I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. I was a little worried when I walked up to the front door because there was an unpleasant smell in the air but as soon as I stepped inside the aromas were wonderful from the home cooked food. I saw on the Specials Board they had beef stew with cornbread. I was debating between that and trying their baked potato but I'll have to try the baked potato next time because the Stew won out. You order from a counter and then go sit down and wait for your number to be called. The place was about 10 times bigger than I expected it to be since it is classified as a diner. It has a sort of 1950s look with the checkerboard tile and all around are street signs and murals with a baseball theme. Everything looked very clean and I noticed that they came around and cleaned up tables shortly after people left which is always good to see. The beef stew was absolutely delicious. It reminded me of my mother's cooking which is a compliment. She wouldn't have put tomatoes in her beef stew but I do so it might have reminded me more of my own. It was so nice to see large chunks of real carrots, not canned or frozen and they were generous with the amount of beef. The perfect meal on a chilly night. I decided to splurge and try the cobbler. I don't usually order drinks and desserts to save money. The cobbler wasn't bad but it wasn't nearly as good as the beef stew. It might have even been a canned Peach filling. It had an odd consistency like Elmer's Glue but was uncannily clear. There was only one slice of peach on it. The crust was not light and flakey but more dense and chunky. I ate the whole thing but probably wouldn't order it again. The employees I encountered were very nice. I definitely plan on coming back sometime.

    Pasta with grilled chicken and veggies

    Fast service, good prices, good food! I ordered a pasta plate with grilled chicken and veggies. It turned out way better than I expected. The rest of the party liked what they ordered and we have no complaints. The restrooms are clean and the clerks are pleasant. Plenty of seats and booths to choose from.

    Many vegan options with true vegetables as the vegan "meat replacement" vs a faux meat product…read more(although if you're into that they do offer an impossible option). 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.

For lunch during one of my days visiting Amarillo, I tried Yellow City Street Food off Wolflin. Inside, the space is cute. They have yellow chairs, pink walls, and cool artwork scattered throughout. When we ordered, the server was very helpful with recommendations and helped us land on what we ultimately chose. They also have a chef's daily special that rotates every day, and you never really know what he could be cooking up. The day we went, the special was Pad Kee Mao, which my girlfriend ordered with their fried tofu. As for me, I got their tacos. The first was their Hulk with jerk chicken, cotija, pineapple, and more, and the second was their Al Pastor with pork, crema, chile rojo, and more. Both came out looking fantastic and were absolutely crushed by me. One thing I noticed on their menu is their vast selection of vegan options. Most meat options usually have a vegan alternative with a specific replacement for the meat. For the Hulk, it's chickn soy curls, and for the Al Pastor, they use jackfruit. It's super innovative and very welcoming to vegan and vegetarian diners. I really like this approach instead of throwing the same meat substitute on everything. Knowing what works best with each dish can really make or break it. We also ordered a side of their Salt and Pepper Fries to share, which were well cooked, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I enjoyed the pepper seasoning on these quite a bit. To drink, we tried their blueberry pomegranate tea, which was delicious. I really liked my food here and, of all the places I tried in Amarillo, I would say this is definitely one of the best. It's unique without overdoing it, and you'll leave with a good meal in your stomach if you give them a shot. RIYL: Tacos, burgers, or honestly just about anything. They've got it all here.
