    Corn dog and root beer
    Sara G.

    The food here traditional drive in food. It's made to order and yummy. The corn dogs are my favorite, they are foot long and hand dipped to order...reminds me of the fair. But the best thing to have is their homemade root beer! The service is quick and always friendly. If your looking for a drive up, tailgate date night or hangout with friends, this local drive-in is just the spot.

    Amarillo, Texas --- "KN Root Beer" is a "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite MUST visit when in Amarillo drive-in (/drive-up) restaurant. In business since 1968, "KN" makes me glad I found this place. You drive up and a smilin' server comes to your car/truck, takes your order & delivers it, while you sit comfortably in your warm or air conditioned comfort. Nostalgic window trays are available too. My server "Tessa" remembers me even though I only make it to Amarillo once a year (or longer) as I tour Historic Route 66 from time-to-time. "Tessa" recommended the Root Beer Milk Shake and it was yummy-riffic!!! The "Buy 1 Get 1 FREE" cheese dog with chili, cheese & onions is a tasty-riffic deal too. Thanks for the smiles Tessa! "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! .... and will return 01.26.21

    Found in my Frito pie cup

    Disappointing, twice the price, half the portion as other places. Nothing special to set it apart justify it. Frito pie was stale and had black ink in my cup

    A real live root beer at a real live drive-in. I'm happy.

    I've been here a few times now.. I came once on my last trip four months ago. I just got a gigantic large root beer which of course I couldn't finish so I got a to-go cup to take the rest back to my motel room. The next time, this trip, I stopped one hot day when I was thirsty it had the sense to get a smaller size. Another time, I got a small root beer float. When they said small, they weren't kidding. It was about an 8 oz glass that was mostly foam and hardly any root beer. It tasted delicious but if I got it again I'd want to get the medium maybe. Another time, I was hungry but trying to eat cheap so I got their small barbecue sandwich and it was perfect. If I lived in town, I'm pretty sure I would be a regular here. I wonder if they close for the winter? My favorite root beer drive-in in Indiana does and I always kick myself if I miss it.

    Chili dog and cheese burger
    Sam H.

    Fun old carhop in Amarillo. If your looking for a good draft cold root beer accompanied by a cheese burger / chili dog. This is the place to come. Good service and good comfort food.

    Cheese burger loaded, beer battered onion rings and do you see that frosty mug of root beer!

    See all

    Atmosphere (none) was our car so it was great. They come get your order and bring the food to you in your car. No bathrooms.

    Nice greasy burger and fries with an old fashioned car hop and a frosty mug of delicious root beer. Best burger I've had while in Amarillo.

    Is it pretty quick? Coming through town and would like to stop somewhere quick.

    Pretty standard. Probably no more than five minutes for a couple, maybe a couple minutes longer for a family of 4, because it's usually cooked fresh. No, I'm not an employee.
