Delicious Flourless Chocolate Cake

We had such a wonderful dinner tonight! The metropolitan has an inviting speakeasy feel with elegant and comfortable seating and decor. Our family of 5 started the evening with some mocktails (pineapple dreamsicle) and 2 Cadillac margaritas. All were well done and very tasty! We then shared the fried shrimp cocktail and the Crab Elotes appetizers - both were delicious! For dinner, 3 of us had the filet mignons and the other 2 the prime chicken fried steak - again, delicious! Steaks were cooked to medium rare perfection and the chicken fried steak was one of the best we have ever had! Our grand finale was ice cream and the flourless chocolate cake. So good!! You have to break the outer chocolate shell on the cake to get to the soft moist center. We loved it! Our waiter Jon did an outstanding job! He made great recommendations and we never lacked for anything. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and experience and will be sure to return!

Belgian waffle with berries

Service was just okay, but we all know there is a shortage in the service industry right now so let us give them all a break. First off, this place is adorable. One part of the restaurant is dark and comfy and has that speakeasy vibe for sure. The other part of the restaurant is bright, open, airy and super comfortable. We were seated on the bright side, which for a Sunday brunch was perfect. We were seated in a corner booth area that was made with crushed-like blue velvet seating with fun throw pillows. The TV at the bar appears to only play in black and white so it was weird to watch football that way. At the same time that totally went with the vibe this place has created. Sleek, modern with dark and bright colors that balance the place. The food was fantastic. The pancake board is brilliant. It comes with pancakes and all the fixings you could want: peanut butter, nuttela, chocolate chips, bananas, syrup, fruit, nuts and butter. I could have filled up on that, but I had ordered a belgian waffle with the berry compote. The berries were tart, but gave it a good flavor and made the waffle gooey. If I were ever in Amarillo again, I would definitely re-visit this place.

Well what a great surprise! This place is a must visit. We were in town to visit the Paloduro Canyon State Park. It's the weekend after Valentine's and I owe my wife for putting up with me. You need reservations! This place is not large and was packed. We had the crab cakes for an appetizer. They were yummy. I do have to add that I probably had the best old fashioned I have ever had! I had a Cesar Salad, my wife the wedge. She really loved the bacon! My wife went with the fillet and I tried the sea bass. All side are family style and I appreciate they have portion sizes for 2 or 4. My wife said this was the best steak she ever had. Better than Perry's or Ruth Chris. My sea bass was piping hot, yet not over done. It had a lemon crust that made the dish. The wait staff was kind and on point. The food came out quickly, the water glasses were always full, and we were checked upon often enough to ensure we were taken care of. I don't often give out 5 stars. They earned it.

Popped in here for a sneaky cocktail and are so glad we did. Such a gorgeous speakeasy, beautifully decorated and super engaging staff. However, the cocktails here stole the show. We ordered the Corpse Reviver and The Tracy - both were amazing, super punchy and very well balanced. Special thank you to Paige and James for looking after us :)

Texas, Y'all.

Ok, so come here for the food. It's good. We stopped by for brunch on a Sunday and sat on the patio. Weather was perfect so we figured, why not sit outside!? The flies were really bad out there. Our waitress did a good job trying to mitigate it by clearing plates from our table as soon as we were done. I had the waffles with quail. I almost didn't order it because the menu said it came with 2 quail quarters. Two quarters is only half a quail, which would not be very much meat. Luckily I went ahead and ordered it and it was actually 2 halves (one whole quail). It was nicely presented and tasted really good. I finished both the quail and the waffles. I highly recommend that dish.

Great ambience

Four of us for dinner last night. Service was excellent and entertaining however we all agreed we've had better steaks for the price. Disappointing.

We had to stop at the Big Texan while traveling Route 66 through Amarillo!…read more Our original plan was to come for dinner. I tried getting a reservation just a few hours before we arrived, but there was nothing available, and I wasn't able to get anyone on the phone. Once we drove past that evening, we understood why, the place was absolutely PACKED! I had seen that waits can sometimes reach 1-1.5 hours. That said, if you do have to wait, this is probably one of the better places to do it because there is SO much randomness to explore. Between the gift shop, Western décor, photo ops, and everything else going on, you could easily entertain yourself for an hour. We changed plans and made a reservation for 9 AM the next morning instead, and I'm actually really glad we did! On a Thursday morning it was quiet and relaxed, and we basically had our pick of all the goofy photo opportunities without fighting the dinner crowds. We shared the steak and eggs, and it was a perfect breakfast for two. The steak was seasoned perfectly and cooked really well. The entire place is exactly what you hope for from an over-the-top Texas Route 66 roadside stop: rustic, quirky, cow prints everywhere, a big gift shop, and lots to look at. We also discovered a whole crew of cats hanging around outside near the patio in the morning, which was an unexpected and entertaining bonus. One disappointment for us as Route 66 souvenir collectors: they have TWO penny press machines, but unfortunately BOTH were out of order when we visited. We were so sad! Overall, going at 9 AM turned out to be a great move. You still get the full Big Texan experience, but with way fewer people and plenty of time for pictures. Definitely one of those classic, quirky Route 66 stops you have to experience at least once!

The Big Texan Steak Ranch has a very unique atmosphere. The restaurant, hotel, and entire…read moresurrounding area have plenty of Texas character and make for a memorable stop. I ordered the chicken-fried steak with eggs over easy and potatoes. Unfortunately, the potatoes arrived cold. The chicken-fried steak appeared to be freshly battered, and the steak itself was very tender, but the breading was somewhat soggy. The service was fine, but for a meal costing around $30, I expected better. I enjoyed the atmosphere more than the food.

We were stopping in Amarillo for the night after a long day of travel. The restaurant was next door…read moreto our hotel so it was convenient. Austin was excellent and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food was good and we enjoyed our drinks too. The restaurant is casual and seems to comfortably serve large groups. We have visited their restaurant in Biloxi and also enjoyed eating at the bar.

And I thought I made good steak at home....go to Costco grab a USDA Prime Rib Eye...cast iron pan…read moregrill it...and remember the Bearnaise Sauce... Aside from the Seafood Fondeaux being a little on the saltier side...Saltgrass Steakhouse is probably the #1 Steakhouse here in Amarillo Texas (just my opinion)...if I had to leave one two word adjective to describe my entire experience today at this Steak House...."Michelin Worthy." Obviously not at Joel Robuchon level, but they sure execute everything like Brick & Mortar Steakhouse would be expected on Rodeo Drive. Perfect Medium Rare, Great baked sweet potatoes with that foam melt butter, garlic butter and grilled shrimp were cherries on top of the pie as a Steak Add-on, phenomenal balsamic vinegarette fused Blue Cheese crumbs Wedge Salad, and the Seafood Fondeaux was as if you married lobster bisque with creme spinach and queso, a superb starter. Premium Service by Isabel, top notch multitasker handling the bar, and multiple fronts. A well put together Southern Cowboy country Interior with very fitting country music. First time at Saltgrass, and what are my last thoughts? Definitely on my recommend list to anyone looking for a casual weekday steak lunch or dinner. Worth the spend! Edit: ***oh...pshhh no wonder, this steakhouse is sister restaurants with Mastros and Morton's~~ It's like the Swatch Group, if Mastros was Breguet, then Morton's would be Omega, and Saltgrass...Longines.

Food was exceptionally delicious diner food. The service…read morewas excellent, not speedy but acceptable. The hostess was friendly and talkative. What can I say? It's a truck stop diner with cute touristy items to buy. We will stop her again.

When first opened I loved coming here. Had things like corn beef hash I really liked. Last 3 times…read morewe have gone the service has been worse and worse. 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.
