    Our waitress Holly was amazing !

    Great Pizza and Craft Beers, the building is an old train station and it's really cool

    Jim H.

    Pondaseta Brewing is my 271st brewery. I'm closing in on 300! I am only in Amarillo until tomorrow morning, no not by morning, until morning. I tried a couple of Pondaseta beers at my hotel last night when I got in. Those were the Fast & Hazy and the Sunrise Amber. SWPFTD definitely would enjoy the Sunrise Amber. PB is separated into two different spaces, the main bar area and another space with extra tables which hosts live music. The nice part is they are actually separated by a door so if you want it a little quieter you ca. sit in the main bar area away from the band. I started my flight with Enter The Dragon which seemed appropriate just from the name. This was a German Pilsner with a nice bit of crackery/bready flavor to it. Not bad at all. The Sky Pie pecan porter had some serious pecan aroma to it. At first taste the flavor didn't live up to the aroma but towards the back of the tonque...WHAM, there was the pecan flavor and it lasted too. It really smells like pecan pie but isn't as sweet on the tongue which I like. I like this one. Let The People Dance IPA was very light on bitterness and had a decent little fruity flavor that flirted with my flippin' tastebuds in a fascinating way. Ok I'll stop... Raspberry Gladys Brings The Boys To The Yard. Man, that name is a mouthful. Gladys is a milkshake IPA presumably with raspberries. Yep, definitely with raspberries. Raspberry on the nose a well as on the tongue. I'm sad to say I didn't love this one. The raspberry flavors and all just didn't work for me. YMMV. I wanted to try the Rye barrel aged Castle Black but unfortunately it was only available in a bottle. I'm deciding if I want to buy one and take it back to my hotel for later. I'll update you on that. I did decide to try the Against The Currant Gose which I actually really liked. I also added on Viking Vacation, an imperial IPA. This was good. Nicely balanced and very easy to drink. This could be dangerous although not as dangerous as Sky Pie. Pondaseta Brewing is brewing up some good beer. Glad I could stop in! If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

    Korean tacos
    Tasha R.

    Great service and friendly staff. I liked the variety of craft beers and drinks they had to offer. The server offered us a few samples before choosing our drinks. He also took our food orders and was always checking on us to ensure we had our glasses full. Tacos had great flavor, and I liked the chips and salsa, although it could have more kick to it. I wish I had come in earlier to try the happy hour menu. I will definitely come back whenever I come to visit town.

    I wanted to drink some craft beer at home so I swung by Pondaseta to get my growlers filled up this weekend. The only snag was that when I got there, the pricing for growlers didn't make much sense. I'll explain. I wanted to try the Extra Special Blackburn, and a 32oz growler fill of that costs $14. That's on the pricey side for a fill up. But where it really gets odd is that, the cost of a 16oz pint is only $6. So, it would be cheaper for me to buy two pints, pour them into my growler and then head on my way. I pointed this out to the employee and his response was "we should probably be charging $7 a pint". Wow, great answer, just charge people more to justify the growler price. Apologies in advance if I cause the price of the ESB to increase. Now, to be fair, I've been to Pondaseta before and it is a great spot to hang out and drink beer. I'm just flummoxed by how their growlers are priced. How can it be more expensive to get beer to go in a growler? If I get my beer to go, I'm not taking up any space in the business, they don't have to wash by glass, I'm not using their bathroom. Are they trying to incentivize people to sit down and stay? I guess it's possible. But this is the only pricing model I've seen like this. I've never come across a brewery that charges less for beer on site than to carry it out in a growler. Anyway, actually physically sitting and drinking at Pondaseta is great. And I'll be back at some point to do that. But I will not try to fill up my growlers here again (unless something changes).

    Pimento patty melt
    Alyssa W.

    The food, service, and ambience were all top-notch. I ordered the fried pickles, the pimento patty melt, and the sangria. Let me tell you--the patty melt was absolutely to die for. The sangria was the perfect complement to an already amazing meal. I'd give it a 10/10 and would happily leap off a cliff just for another bite of that masterpiece!

    Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Avocado on marble rye.  Delish!
    Mark F.

    Stopped in at Pondaseta for a beer and hopefully some pub grub. They don't have their own in house kitchen, per se, but they do have a food truck which offers a pretty good selection of pub grub choices. I opted for the BLTA (Bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado) sandwich on marble rye. Boy was it good and the additional "A" made it that much better. Bacon was plentiful and really crispy. Oh, the beers were good too! :) Nice selection and a bartender with a personality who was engaging.

    Ambiance is great
    Pete R.

    Great beer, great snacks, great service. We stopped in on our way from Colorado to Texas and really enjoyed the beer, chips & queso, and friendly service. There was a good selection of beers, and the IPA was amazing! Give this place a stop next time you're close by.

    Fish tacos!
    Carmen B.

    Here from San Diego, sight-seeing at Meredith Lake and on our way to Palo Duro. We're so impressed with the Amarillo business district. This treasure of a local brewery had been a place of solace for us. The tasting room and food truck staff have been a gift and we thank them for the beer and comfort food.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was fun, lively, and full of energy. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made us feel right at home.

What truly took our experience over the top, though, was our server, Corbin. He greet us with a great smile, he was friendly, inviting, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. He made excellent recommendations, checked on us often, and genuinely made our visit memorable. Especially when my wife forgot her sunglasses. Corbin was essential in us finding. Thank you Corbin!!!

Our server was very attentive and cheery. They have a very large two level dining area. The steaks are grilled in plain sight in front of the stage where the world famous 72 oz steak challenge takes place. They bring out fresh baked rolls with your meal. The half order of fried mushrooms was great. My son enjoyed his two 5 oz steak filets, my wife was very pleased with her Prime Rib. I was disappointed with my rib eye, I had to trim off too much fat. The desert was delicious. Overall, don't expect a steak you would be served at a fine steakhouse, but definitely give the Steak Ranch a visit.
