Fantastic! Tyler is a magician with his BBQ. I highly recommend this place. I had the brisket and the sausage. Legit. He said the short rib is available on Saturdays. I am going to have to drive back on a Saturday. Strong work. read more

I was really looking forward to trying some of the great barbecue I'd read about and hoped to add another Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ spot to my list. Unfortunately, the experience was ruined at the counter. I stood there for several minutes while the young man directly in front of me failed to acknowledge me--not even a quick "I'll be with you in a moment." Instead, he and a coworker spent several minutes discussing a chopped beef sandwich while I waited. When a customer is standing right in front of you, that lack of acknowledgment and basic service is unacceptable. I seriously considered walking out, but decided to order some food to go. The brisket had a solid, flavorful bark, but the ribs were overcooked. I also tried the jalapeño-cheese sausage after being told they did not make their original sausage in-house. Overall, the disappointing service overshadowed the food. This was a terrible customer experience and unlike anything I've encountered at a barbecue restaurant in the Texas Panhandle. read more

So, we were coming through Amarillo, Texas looking for good barbecue. With all the good reviews, I thought for sure this was going to be good. I am very much supportive person for small business owners. So, I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. The only A+ I could give here was good fast service. Let's talk about the most important component of Tyler's BBQ. All of the brisket and sausage was dry and VERY salty. The only saving grace was the BBQ sauce. ( I had to drink a lot of tea and water. ) The potato salad I would give 3.5/5 - decent, but memorable. The coleslaw was decent but meh 3.5/5. There were customers there, but mostly loyalists who are used to the food. It wasn't packed at all. Ambiance/Decor With all the accolades on the wall and even on the door "unless we are sold out," I was hopeful that the food would be better than the decor. It felt like Tyler's was sitting pretty on its laurels and accolades and were riding its own past coattails. The floors were crack. The place was quite dark. Things look like it never even got a coat of paint in a long time. The "rustic country" style needed an update. Now, I hate giving this place a bad review, but someone has to be honest and give constructive criticism. As of newcomer, I wouldn't recommend this place right now. Sorry, Tyler's BBQ- hope you can take constructive criticism and make your place better. Good luck. read more

Tyler's Barbeque - Brisket sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Tyler's Ribs are worth the drive! We left nothing on the bone they were so good. Rich smoke, great crust, unctuous flavor, moist and tender. Three ribs ordered and devoured. We also had the moist brisket which was outstanding. Pork belly was a smash hit with the distinctive smoke flavor and just right sweetness. The sleeper surprise was the house-made black peppercorn and jalapeno cheese sausage. The staff and service is so friendly and patient with our order. The first time we went to Tyler's was in 2018 when they hit the Texas Monthly To 50 BBQ list. We were pleasantly surprised on this second visit. Tyler moved locations in 2019 to a much larger location with ample parking and good seating capacity. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the wonderful memorabilia on the walls. Bonus is the restrooms were very clean. The coolest part of the trip was meeting up with Tyler Frazer again. In 2018, my wife and I finished visting all 50 TM BBQ joints at Tyler's. When Tyler learned that he was so gracious to invite me for a pit tour. He commemorated that trip with a TM BBQ pin that featured several other pit masters from that issue that I proudly still have. This trip, we got there around 9:00am as we drove in from a BBQ run in Lubbock and were worried that we may be fighting the Route 66 100 year anniversary crowd that had taken over Amarillo. Luckily, we beat the crowd. Though Tyler's doesn't open until 11am, Tyler opened the gate for me to rest at the picnic area and we talked for 5+ minutes even though he had a lot of prep work to do before opening. Later on, he came to our table and talked with us and told stories for another 15 minutes. That alone made the whole experience unforgettable. Bottom line, Tyler Frazer is the GOAT, a Texas BBQ rockstar in my book. He is the epitome of Texas BBQ hospitality and a pioneering voice of celebrating Texas BBQ and small businesses. We always look forward to his reels on Instagram as he welcomes the day with a weather report thoughts for the day from Amarillo. My hats off to you Tyler! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing next time. read more

As we were passing through Amarillo I had the kid look up a BBQ place in the area that had good reviews and wasn't some mall based chain type place and he came up with Tyler's. Decided to give it a go and we are glad we did! Pulled in for lunch and the place was hoppin'! Long line, all local plates...always a good sign! We had a brisket sandwich and the brisket meat plate, sweet tea, and lemonade. Everything was delicious and the sauces were wonderful. Service was fast and friendly. Plenty of seating and an open inviting atmosphere. If we lived in the area, this would definitely be a go-to spot! read more

Driving around Texas eating great BBQ and Tyler's Bbq in Amarillo TX is always on my list. Tyler's has the charm that is true Texas BBQ. They welcome people here as if everyone is family. They have a large parking lot. They have indoor and outside sitting areas. So the process here is you go through the line and place your order they start with the proteins first then the sides with bread pickles and onions last. They cut and weigh the meats in front of you so you see what you are getting on your tray. You pay at the end and you get your tray of food after a short wait. Saturday is $16.00 a lb Beef Ribs. No hold on the ribs so get there early as the beef ribs are delicious and worth getting in line early for. We got brisket which was a 10/10. We got the beef ribs some to eat there and 1 to bring home to Houston 10/10. We also got the sausage 11/10 it was spicy as we got jalapeño cheddar and the black peppercorn. We also got PORK BELLY WITH BERRY CHIPOTLE which was 10/10. Everything here was delicious and so memorable. They make their own pickles so make sure you get some of the delicious homemade pickles! We tried the potato salad, coleslaw, jalapeño cream corn and the pinto beans. All the sides were good but the cream corn was the best. I highly recommend you make a trip to Tyler's BBQ. read more

Our first meal in Texas. Doc our road trip driver found Tyler's bbq on Yelp right after we crossed the Texas State line and called our order in. Hubs said as soon as we got back into the car he would rate it a 5 star and that it was the best meal so far. Doc added the people are so nice. I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich and cole slaw for each of us. What a nice surprise, Doc concocted a sweet tea and iced tea for me. Hubs had his usual, Diet Coke as drinks were included. Doc had 1/4 lb side of brisket with hot sauce. She's so health conscious. Gotta admit their regular bbq sauce was so good. Loved the perfect sweetness of it. Put it on every slice of my sandwich. There are 2 restrooms, one person at a time. The interior is spacious, cool decor and had a station to wrap up your left overs to go. Extremely happy Doc found this place- yum!!! Even their coleslaw. read more

Chopped brisket sandwich and creamed corn were really good, a tad salty for my taste, but it was offset nicely with the BBQ sauce. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich and green beans, but I liked the brisket better. For the price it was amazing value!! Service was quick. At 2pm it wasn't busy at all. Cool country decor. read more

First stop in Texas for our 2025 roadtrip, Tyler's Barbecue! Our last visit we unfortunately passed through on a Monday but this time we got to try our luck! Grateful we did. We sampled a little bit of everything per advice of some friendly customers in line. Why is everyone in Texas so nice??? I love the hospitality that we just don't have the same of in California. While I don't think this is my all time favorite bbq, not a single item menu missed the mark. Everything was tasty and devoured. Plus it was all very affordable in my opinion. Definitely worth a comeback visit. read more

My in-laws live in Amarillo, so my family and I are usually there at least a couple of times per year. I've been to Goldee's, Interstellar, Panther City, Cattleack, Louie Mueller, Dayne's, Hutchin's, Drew's (newer place in Maypearl - worth checking out!), Evie Mae's, Hurtado, and probably others I can't think of at the moment. I read the Texas Monthly review on Tyler's and decided to check it out. As soon as we approached the building, we were hit with the aroma of Texas bbq. That's always a good sign! The lady who took our order was very friendly and engaging. The atmosphere was good. The building was not overly fancy, but it was very apropriate for a bbq joint. My son and I split the 3 meat plate. We got the brisket, pork belly, and jalapeño cheese sausage. For the sides, we got the jalapeño cream corn and the pinto beans. The brisket had a good flavor. Fairly simple flavor profile, but it was nice. It wasn't as juicy as places like Goldee's or Cattleack, presumably because Tyler's probably doesn't use tallow for the long heated rest. I prefer the use of tallow, but I was still happy with it. It was a good balance of seasoning, smoke, and beef flavor. The pork belly had a nice sweet flavor to complement the smoke. We were also impressed with the sausage. It was rich and flavorful with a little kick. I didn't try the pork ribs, but my nephew was raving about how good they were. The corn was really good. A little more spicy than I expected, but not painfully so. We were the least impressed with the beans, but they were still good. If we had a larger group, I would've loved to try the beef ribs. My overall impression is one of being pleasantly surprised. For some reason, there's just not much of a bbq market in Amarillo. I'm glad we were able to check out Tyler's. I would say it's not as good as my top favorites, but it's better than others. Definitely good enough for us to come back again. read more

Tyler's Barbeque - Brisket, pork belly, sausage, jalapeño cream corn, beans, and bread. - Barbeque Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Traveling with coworkers and saw this pop up when looking for a lunch spot. This place has a real smokehouse ambiance to it. From placing our order to having it in-front of us took less than 5 minutes, pretty fast service. The highlight of the meal for me was the jalapeño creamed corn, nice heat and very creamy. The ribs were pretty solid, great seasoning and a nice bark. The sliced brisket had good flavor but was honestly a bit dry for us, will probably go with the chopped next time. The sauce selection was also really good. I would recommend kicking it up and going with the spicy one. read more

Great food - nice people! We got the three meat plate and added two more sides. The brisket and sausage were great - very flavorful. I would pass on the ribs next time. We loved the sides. The corn, coleslaw, potato salad and green beans were all amazing. You can't go wrong here. They also let you ask for specific parts of the brisket which was nice. We like the leaner portion. The inside is comfortable. Clean and an easy stop off of the highway while traveling. read more

Tyler's Barbeque - 3 meat plate with corn, green beans, potato salad and coleslaw - enough for 2 people - Barbeque Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Sadly, Tyler's didn't live up to the hype for us. We did a little research to find the best bbq restaurant in Amarillo, and it seemed Tyler's was the favorite. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but the meal really missed the mark. The brisket was quite dry, the pulled pork lacked flavor, and the beans were not at all what you would expect from a bbq place. There were a couple of good things too. The pork ribs and smoked turkey were good, and the jalapeño corn was pretty good. Overall, the meal wasn't worth the long wait in line. The restaurant was spacious, so it's a good place for a group or family. We are from out of town, so I doubt we will be back. I just wanted to give some honest feedback for those searching for a place to eat in Amarillo. read more

Tyler's Barbecue lived up to the expectations I had when I heard it made the top 50 barbecue places in Texas. I was a little disappointed when I arrived late and found they were out of brisket, but the ribs more than made up for it. The ribs were the greatest--best seasoned ribs I've had by far. They were tender and fell off the bone, but still stayed on the bone. The staff behind the counter were wonderful: friendly, welcoming, and genuinely interacted with us. The dining area was clean and comfortable, which made it easy to have a good conversation. Even so, there was more eating than talking--that's how you know it's really good. read more

Out of town visitor and my first time at Tyler's. As soon as I got out of my vehicle, I could smell the excellence in the air. Staff were very kind and worked efficiently. Brisket and jalapeño sausage were to die for. Their BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy. Highly recommended! read more

If you're in Amarillo and you don't go to Tyler's BBQ, you're an idiot. This was THE best BBQ we've had in a long time. I ordered the 2-meat plate and got a FULL half chicken plus 5 huge slices of brisket, along with big sides of terrific slightly sweet slaw and green beans with bacon and just a hint of spice. Oh -- and Texas toast too. All of that for under $25! Great BBQ, massive portions, and an incredible value. We're driving cross-country and are so glad our stay at Spark Hotel led us to this gem. The chicken was juicy, the brisket was juicy without being fatty, and everything was packed with flavor. Two thumbs way up. Run, don't walk, to this solid Amarillo joint! read more

What good fortune. I haven't been this way in months, but this trip I got to eat a Tyler's BBQ twice in less than two weeks! Both times I had the ribs and they were falling off the bone delicious!! As always the staff is so pleasant and helpful. Today they were really busy with long lines but they were cheerful. Despite the crowds the restaurant was quiet and the bathrooms very clean. The only downside was I missed seeing Tyler both times. But the staff said they would pass along my "Hi" to him. read more

From out of state and was recommended Tyler's Barbecue. Walked in and the gentlemen working were awesome and greeted us right away and Extremely friendly. The ribs, chopped and sliced brisket was some of the best I have ever had. Every bite was so flavorful, tender and juicy melt in the mouth. Coleslaw excellent. Potato salad with a little heat and the potatoes were small pieces which made it even better and I grew up in a big German family and some of the best I have ever had. We had the banana pudding and was again amazing. Great spot has indoor and a patio that is dog friendly with misters. If you are ever passing though or staying in Amarillo this is a must. read more

Visiting from out of town. I wanted some Texan bbq. Brisket was a center cut, little bit on the dry side but I still ate. Ribs were cooked to perfection. Sausage was sausage BACON MAC AND CHEESE (winner) Pork belly could be a bit softer. But the spicy jelly sauce was so good. The portion was a lot. Two adults and a child, we still had leftovers. read more

Tyler's Barbeque - Two meets and cream corn - Barbeque Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

When visiting Amarillo, I was told by two of my colleagues, that if I wanted good BBQ, I should visit Tyler's, or Spicy Mikes. Since we were in a bit of a hurry, we stopped at Tyler's on the way to the airport - luggage in tow. The team was amazing, reducing a line of patient patrons in only minutes. Being exactly lunchtime, there was a line to the door. I could see people's orders: Pork Belly burnt ends... sausages, brisket. It all looked very nice. We went with brisket sandwiches as a steady baseline, but the guy in front of us! Oh my gee... sausages chopped into smoked turkey, packed into a baked potato. Really glad we stopped in, it's an Amarillo institution that you shouldn't miss. The place is clean, quick, the pickles are excellent, all meats smoked to perfection. The sauces are memorable. I truly hope I get to visit Tyler's again sometime! read more

I ordered 3 meat with Brisket, Jalapeño and cheese sausage and pork ribs, these meats are AMAZING, no sauce needed but when you taste it you will use the sauce , it's FIRE, was just passing thru and was totally satisfied. 10 out of 10 recommend read more

I would want to rate this place between 3-4 stars but I really was too disappointed to give it four stars. Nothing was inedible but nothing was really great. As some others have noted, the brisket was dry and really needed the sauce to give it some moisture (not a good thing for Texas BBQ). Learning how to hold your brisket is half the battle for producing BBQ on a commercial scale and they clearly don't have that process down here. The ribs were OK but weirdly salty and also a little on the dry side. The pulled pork was completely bland and mushy without any sign of bark. The sausage (cheddar-jalapeño) was probably the best thing on the place. The sides were equally unremarkable. Oh, and the "Texas toast" was completely untoasted: just double thickness white bread (not that I care that much--but worth noting as it's all in the details). If this place were in Albuquerque, I might eat here on occasion. As a place in Texas, thus just isn't that great. And as I always say about BBQ, it's basically an attack on your body, so if you are going to subject yourself to something this unhealthy, it better be really great. Sadly, this isn't. Again, Yelp reviews must be taken with a grain of salt (yes, this one as well--though I have made and eaten an awful lot of BBQ in my life, so I will claim to know what I'm talking about). read more

We arrived at 6:15pm on a Wednesday to a sign that said "sold out". We decided to go in and check it out anyway and found out that were out of ribs and beef but still had turkey, pulled pork, and several kinds of sausage. We went ahead and ordered, but also noticed that they were already beginning to turn chairs over onto tables as if they were near closing. We were to meet my brother and his wife who arrived about 5 minutes after we did and they were told that they were all out of everything. There was only one couple who had gotten their food after we did, so there was no way they were out of food. The food was ok, but not outstanding. It was also very hot inside. There's no way I'm coming back. read more

When traveling to or living in Amarillo, do yourself a favor if you appreciate good barbecue and stop over at Tyler's. The cutters were patient and kind with our questions, and nice goes a LONG WAY! The food was really, really good, we especially enjoyed the brisket. The pulled pork was some of the best I've had in a long time. They clearly know what they're doing! As for sides, the cole slaw was recommended and my wife thoroughly enjoyed it. The other highlight from the sides was the creamed corn...again, really good! We sat outside in their picnic area under a nice shade tree and had a great experience. I would definitely come again. I'd post a picture but it didn't last long enough. read more

Super tender ribs and pulled pork with lots of flavor. The jalapeño creamed corn was excellent along with the banana pudding

Best Barbeque in Amarillo! My wife and I have gone several times. The service is amazing, the ambiance is the best, and the food is worth it. Highly recommend this place. The barbecue sauce is so good. That catch is they are only open until there is no more meat to serve. Get there on time and enjoy the amazing food. Don't forget your dessert. read more

Stopped on way home from a trip. Eaten here before, so we knew it was good. Easy to find off I-40. Service is really friendly. Order at front then sit down. We ordered the 1 meat dinner, sliced brisket with Jalapeno corn and potato salad. Brisket is pretty good. Large portion of the cream corn, so will share next time. Potato salad very good, even with too many onions. Sweet tea good. Don't forget to order Bread Pudding!! You can share that too. read more

Food quality was good, but they leave you wanting more because the sandwich is small. The price is too high for the amount you get. The service was good. The ambiance is simple cafeteria style. My only beef is that there is little beef for the price so you will need 2 sandwiches to be satisfied. read more

Out of brisket at 2pm uurgh. Out of a couple of sides also. A little rushed. Slightly disappointed. Good meat though.

The pulled pork was moist, but had no flavor until I added barbecue sauce. The brisket had a nice bark. It had a nice flavor, but it was dry. I think the pork rib had a nice flavor and it was tender. The corn was also good and I was very surprised that the potato salad was good. I liked spicy barbecue sauce. I'll give it a three, but brisket and pulled pork was very disappointing. read more
