Sometimes it only takes one trip to a place to know you're going to love it. I had a good feeling about this place when I first read about it in the newspaper article a few days ago. A friend sent me the link to it on Facebook because she thought I might be interested and she knew that I like to try out new places. Today I was going to the thrift stores over near Plains and Adams so it seemed a perfect time to go check this place out. It was a little tricky to find because I hadn't been north of Amarillo Boulevard much in my time here but I had an idea of where it was and just when I thought I might have passed it without seeing it, I spotted it. As I walked up to the door someone must have seen me approaching and he held the door open for me which was a nice introduction to the place. He instructed me where to go to order my food. They only had one copy of the menu sitting out so the girl who was already looking at it held it out to share. The guy that held the door open for me had already recommended the Chicken and Waffles and I just decided to get that. It came with a drink. It turned out they actually had Big Red on tap. Unfortunately it was not the zero calorie version but I threw caution to the wind and decided even though it was high caffeine and high calories I would just treat myself. It took quite a while for the chicken to be ready. One of the guys later explained it's because they are required to cook it for 22 minutes to ensure that is cooked inside. Well, it was perfect. It smelled wonderful, it looked wonderful, and it tasted even better. If there was a downside it was only that it was so hot that I had to wait for it to cool off enough to not burn my tongue. You get your choice of what kind of chicken you want and I chose drumsticks. Those drumsticks were fat and juicy with a wonderful coating and was some of the best chicken I've ever eaten. I'll be honest, I'm not a big pancake and waffle fan, although I do like the concept of Chicken and Waffles. But their waffle could turn me around completely. Probably the best waffle I ever had. The Chicken and Waffles was $10.99 including the drink, close to $12 with the tax and worth every penny. I took a couple pictures of the menu to post so others could see the kinds of food they serve. It's billed as a soul food place and it is Southern Cooking but it doesn't have all the dishes you sometimes find in other places like sweet potatoes and collard greens. It does have fried okra and I didn't try it but I bet it's delicious. Next time. I've had fried chicken three or four places in Amarillo and been surprised that more places didn't serve it. This place was definitely the best I'd eaten although there was another place that came in a close second. There is actually a small market along with the cafe and it was bustling the whole time I was there. One of the owners, at least I think he was, said they'd only been open 90 days and business had been beyond their greatest expectations. That made me happy because I love to see small businesses and Mom and Pop places succeed. Everything looked clean and I saw them wiping down tables the instant people got up and left them. That was a good sign. And the employees and owners couldn't have been more welcoming. By the time I left they knew my name and I bet they call me by it the next time I go in. The best way to get return customers besides offering awesome food is to make them feel welcomed and valued so they will want to come back . Oh, and I forgot to mention, to pay back the community for giving them such good business the first 90 days they had a free food day last Saturday which I didn't hear about until I saw the newspaper article about it. They invited all their customers and members of the community to come in and eat a complimentary meal to show their appreciation for the neighborhood support. I don't think I've ever heard of a restaurant that did that before. Bravo! read more

We called in an order of 3 catfish plates to go. The lady that took our order has to have been one of the nicest lady to take your order in the restaurant business. Got there to pick our order up everyone super nice. This has to be the best catfish in town. 2 super size pieces 2 sides. But the best thing besides the fish is the homemade banana pudding. read more

Looks can be deceiving. This hidden gem offers great eats. I went back 2 days in a row. The breakfast was filling the first time I had the chicken and waffles. You can choose a breast or 3 wings- I chose wings. The chicken was well seasoned and piping hot. The waffle had a hint of sweetness. It wasn't too thick or too thin. The pork chop breakfast came with eggs, hashbrowns and toast. (The hash browns were smashed tater tots I believe.) The second day I had the chicken, eggs, toast and has browns. The employees were friendly and helpful. They had a juices and beverages available. It was a convenience store as well. I will be back. read more
