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.

Enjoyed the old school vibe and nostalgia of the good old days, and simpler times.The sweet car hop even put my 2 rootbeers in my backseat cupholders that I was taking home to my grandkids for me.The food and rootbeers were great. Thanks K&N! Don't ever change. read more

My wife and I ordered the KN burger and a regular burger. We received the double 4 oz. meat patty on both burgers. They were both 4 oz. small patty. The vehicle next to us order the KN burger and they got the larger double 8 oz. patty. They accuse us of ordering the small burger which we did not. Don't know if it was because I showed proof of military ID or because we're Hispanic. Regardless, we will never go back. read more

If I could give less than one star today to K&N Root Beer in Amarillo, I would do so. The service today was a joke, the staff were frustrated and rude, and the manager would not speak to me when I asked staff to call them after we waited over 50 minutes for two soggy burgers. K&N is choosing to prioritize Door Dash orders over their other drive-in customers to the point where we waited almost an hour for two awful sandwiches. My wife and I have been going to K&N for over forty years but today was our last visit ever. We don't need to be ignored so they can cater to Door Dash just to get a good burger in Amarillo. read more

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. read more

K-N Root Beer Drive-In - Corn dog and root beer - Burgers Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

You HAVE to eat here! It's a drive in and they come to your car, take your order, bring it out to your car and check on you during your visit! We had cheeseburgers, onion rings and the TX size root beer in a mug. They make their own root beer and it is delicious! The burgers are huge and the rings were enough for two people. Food was great! It's our new go to place for burgers when driving through Amarillo. Easy in and out and plenty parking for an RV. read more

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 read more

Best burger in town! Best root beer in town! (Try the frozen root beer) By the way, great service, too!! read more

This was our first time here and the Root Beer is amazing. My kids got Rootbeer floats and I got a large root beer. I had to try the KN Special with all fixings and my daughter had the small cheese burger. We also ordered a corndog, onion ring and French fries. The food was amazing and the waitress was very friendly and patient. The ambiance is old style drive in where they take your order from the car. It's been around since 1969 and I can see way. They do offer military discount so that's a plus. read more

Local gem. Best burger in town! They are hot and flavorful. The fries are crispy outside and soft inside. The root beer is homemade and delicious. A rootbeer float made with Bluebell ice cream hits the spot. I'd comment on some of the other food, but we've never gotten enough of those burgers to move on to trying something else. The atmosphere and cleanliness of the dining area is up to you since it is your own vehicle. (The kitchen got a 99 on the most recent health department inspection according to the posted report). read more

Love the root beer and menu items. Very retro and fun! If you haven't stopped by this gem, do so.

For 50 years they have made the bedt burgers in town. Went there the other day and it broke my heart to see hamburger discs they are using now. Been bought out!! Didnt get a root beer just hope they havent screwed that up too! Do not recommend! read more

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. read more

K-N Root Beer Drive-In - A real live root beer at a real live drive-in. I'm happy. - Burgers Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Called in an order with a couple of burgers fries and one root beer. The girl brought out my food and said "I'll be right back with your root beer". 20 minutes later she still had not brought the root beer (she brought food and root beer to several cars that arrived after I did). I tried to ask about the root beer. She just ignored me and walked into the building. I just left without my root beer. My food was cold. The bun was soggy. There were my 10 fries in the bag. read more

Burgers are fantastic!!! A taste of the old times is exactly right!!! Corn dogs, cheese on a stick, onion rings and chili dogs are also perfection!!! Love this place!! read more

I really enjoyed the great food and service I received. I'd definitely go back again for the burgers they're stupendous!!

The food on McDonalds dollar menu is better than there food. Tots and Fries were rancid read more

Absolutely one of my favorite places to grab a great old fashion greasy burger! Still have hand battered onion rings that are out of this world! Still making homemade root beer that tickles the back of your throat! And how fun it is for me to take my grandlovies for a real drive in with carhops and window trays!! Touch of nostalgia with all the flavors you remember!!! read more

If you crave those dirty hole in the walls- or more realistically an old school drive in- this is the oldest, least glamorous, and the tastiest of them all. I always get the double double. It has a thin moist bun, and two patties of hot love. Grease and more grease. The fries are pretty respectable but I dont care. I eat the onion rings. Try the root beer in a cold mug- or the pink lemonade. Yammy!!! read more

This place puts drive-in chains to shame!! Stopped here last year with a friend because I had read about this Amarillo treasure that has been open for almost 50 years. Brought my husband while we were traveling through Texas and again, the food was great!! This time I didn't forget the root beer (in the traditional frosty mug)! The burgers are simple yet delicious but the cheese munchers are my favorite!! Tator tots filled with cheese and jalapenos - yum! Forget the ranch to dip them in, they are delicious without it. I will never be able to visit Amarillo without stopping at K-N Root Beer Drive In! read more

$4 for a large root beer that was completely flat & watered down. I feel as though this is some backwoods hamburger stand in the Appalachian mountains where the hills have eyes. Horrible drinks & im too afraid to test out the hamburgers!!! Yikes...eat at ur own risk read more

looks nice, good food the rb was alright. the munchers were good. i liked their burgers

Thankfully some things never change, and KN Root Beer is one of them. The KN Special (double meat/double cheese) is still a treat, and on a hot Texas summer day nothing is better than a Texas-sized Root Beer in a frosty mug- the root beer isn't nearly as good in a paper cup, so make sure you get it in a mug! Amazing service, if you have a pet in your car you may get a treat like a grill weenie for Fido! They do take plastic now. read more

Really good burger, onion rings and root beer in a frosted mug. Delicious! Already looking forward to our next return. Super nice carhops too! read more

We stopped on our way through town and the ladies that were working there were super sweet and even gave us a bowl of water for our pups. Food was good, especially the burgers. I didnt try the root beer but they do serve them in big frosted mugs if you are eating there. Def worth the stop. read more

We found K-N via Yelp as we were driving to New Mexico. Great burger and tots, Clean facilities and friendly staff. If you want to try something different, local and off the beaten path this is it. read more

My rootbeer was watered down so I had to throw it away. If I'm going to drink something so calorie rich, it needs to be great, and this tasted like it was poured at room temperature over ice so that most of the ice melted. Additionally, it was just a very bad value. A large root beer and a small bacon cheeseburger cost nearly $10. That isn't too high a price, but for that amount, I want a large burger that impresses me and for the root beer to be chilled with care so as not to taste watered down. Upping their food cost by $1 to have an impressive burger and taking care to chill their root beer would make this place 4 or 5 stars. Hopefully, they'll do better for other customers because I love real root beer and wish that my experience wasn't so poor. read more

Burger was delicious, fries were "okay", root beer float was Amazing!!! Evette was an Awesome car hop!!!!!!!!!! I don't eat a lot of fast food, but when I do you can bet it will be at K&N read more

The food is good (especially the KN Special) and the root beer delicious. But I wouldn't exactly call it the healthiest place. Everything is fried or covered in grease...which is probably what makes it good. The fried okra is also solid. read more

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.

fries, rings and tots were really good...better than Blue Sky up by the interstate. The service was pretty slow. However, the burgers at Blue Sky were much better. So, grab your burger at blue sky, then drive down the street to get your sides! read more

Really tasty food at great prices! Our burgers were cooked perfectly (complete with green chile) and the tots and cheesy "munchers" were freshly cooked and very tasty. They serve their homemade root beer in a frosted mug, which is a really nice touch. All in all a really nice family-run establishment that will be top of my fast food list. read more

I was attending Tascosa High School when K-N opened and tried them out during their opening week. It is now over 50 years later and I'm still coming back. For me, I order the same thing nearly every time: K-N Special burger, tots and a frosted mug root beer (okay, occasionally I slip in a cheese dog every once in a while). The term greasy cheeseburger is appropriate, but in a good way here. No, it's not dripping grease, but there is just enough of a light coating on it that something magical occurs to the taste buds. You just cannot find this type of burger at a fast food chain. Reminds me of some of the great car-hop drive-ins of the late 50's and the early to mid 60's. The root beer is outstanding, have to try it to realize how much better it is versus a standard fountain root beer. A bit of true Americana from the past! read more

Reminds me of the Varsity in Atlanta or the 100 year old Nu-Way hotdog joint in Macon ga. Good old school burgers, dogs and malts. A must for a foodie. .... Nice treasure in Amarrillo Tx. read more
