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

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

It's been a while since I last ate here and I was really hungry for another chance. Believe me, the barbecue did not disappoint. The ribs were so juicy and tender with just the right amount of spice. His sauces are exceptional but you really don't need them to enjoy this fantastic barbecue. The green chile stew was still available as a side. It's so meaty you could consider it a meal in itself. If you are ever close to Amarillo please don't miss eating at Tyler's. I have to travel hundreds of miles to eat here and you should too if you aren't fortunate enough to actually live in Amarillo. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how friendly and helpful the staff are. Always great to see Tyler as well. The facility is always clean and welcoming. An excellent experience. read more

Tyler's Barbeque - Neon sign featuring the outline of Texas with a star and the words 'Long Star' at Tyler's Barbeque in Amarillo, TX. - 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

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

I had such an incredible experience at Tyler's Barbecue.. I first stopped in around 3:30 on a Tuesday and asked about gluten-free options. The staff member I spoke with was extremely knowledgeable and transparent--she explained that all of their meats are technically gluten-free, but due to sandwich prep and shared stations, there can be cross-contamination. What really stood out was that she didn't just stop there--she offered a solution. She let me know I could pre-order meats and they would set them aside before service to ensure they stayed gluten-free. I placed a pickup order for the same time the following day. When I arrived, I realized I was early and assumed my order would already be sliced and ready--but instead, they had thoughtfully set aside a bulk portion to slice fresh for me. Even with a line of about 10-12 customers, a staff member took the time to explain they would prepare my order after finishing with others so they could use a clean prep station. That level of care and attention to detail meant a lot. And it didn't stop there. When I received my order, another team member let me know that since it was the end of the rack, he included an extra rib for me. When I got home, I realized they had actually given me more meat than I ordered. This team went above and beyond in every way--thoughtful, accommodating, generous, and genuinely kind. I never made any special request, yet they handled a simply inquiry (which I am Celiac)...with care and enthusiasm. I'm incredibly grateful and will absolutely be back. 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

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

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

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

Fantastic! 10/10! The food was hot and fresh! The staff was so friendly. I ordered the #2 sandwich which comes with two meats. Lordy! I got the turkey and chopped brisket with the side of Jalepenos cream corn. All were excellent. I really hate bbq sauce because it's always too sweet, but their hot bbq hit the spot.

Wanted to try this place, but at 5:15pm they were already out of ribs, sausage and baked potatoes on a Friday nite

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

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 BBQ is hands-down one of the best spots around. The food is absolutely incredible perfectly smoked meats, rich flavors, and sides that don't feel like an afterthought. Everything tastes fresh and made with care. On top of that, the atmosphere is just as impressive: warm, welcoming, and the kind of place you actually want to hang out in for a while. Whether you're there for a quick bite or a laid back meal with friends, it delivers every time. Highly recommend if you're craving top-tier BBQ. read more

Some of the best ribs! The brisket was very flavorful as well. Try the green beans with bacon - super yummy!!

I had the rib special for lunch. The ribs were on point. The meat came right off the bone, and it was very tasty. I tasted my wife's Frito pile (there was so much food she couldn't eat all her lunch), and the brisket stole the show. Outstanding food and service. Well done (again), Tyler.

I was passing through and found Tyler's on Yelp. I walked in at 6:54 PM, unaware that they closed at 7. You know what they said? They said, "Welcome to Tyler's. Are you eating in or take out." I said, "Carry out." Nothing about closing, no rush. Nicest folks. The ribs, and I eat ribs in Memphis, Kansas City, hell, everywhere. These were top 10 ribs, no, these were top five. Fall off the bone with plenty of chew. Full of flavor, before the sauce which was a perfect sweet/sour sticky. This is a five star for attitude, hospitality and food. Oh yeah, get the banana pudding! Can I do a 5+ rating? read more

I drove 14 hours to eat ribs here !! I was on a road trip last year and happened to find this place driving through Amarillo. My only regret was that I would never get the chance to eat here again because I live in Indiana. When I found myself on the road again this year I planned my trip just so I'd hit Tyler's at lunchtime so I could have this barbeque again! So good! read more

The bbq is really really good here!!!!! One of the best I've tried!!!! We tried the 3 item plate and chose ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. The plate also came with 2 sides of slaw and potato salad and everything on this plate was delicious!!!!!!! We also ordered a brisket sandwich and it was bomb!!!! We arrived right when it opened and it quickly got full with people. The restaurant is very clean and food is pretty much ready within minutes. This is a MUST try place if you're in Amarillo or surrounding areas. 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

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

Just walking in, was transcendent! The wonderful smell of the Barbecue being sliced and diced, OMG! Had the brisket and ribs with potato salad and their stewed beans.

Save your time and skip any other bbq place and head straight to Tyler's...the service is impeccable, and the dining room has a great ambience as does the outdoor patio. We got the 2 meat plate with ribs and chopped brisket, jalapeño corn and coleslaw. Ribs were FALL OFF THE BONE, I'm talking can't even pick them up! Brisket was seasoned so perfectly we didn't even need any additional sauce...and the sides were huge and epic! We are kind of glad we didn't find this place until later in our trip because we would have been there every single day!!!! read more

On drive back from Colorado, had this place on my list to try. It was a late lunch and they had run out of sliced brisket, so went with chopped brisket sandwich, jalapeno cream corn, pork belly bites, and peach cobbler. The service was friendly from everyone working there. I took it to go since I wanted to hike Palo Duro before the sun set. The pork bites are worth it! The jalapeno cream corn had a little kick that was good and the sandwich hit the spot. Peach cobbler was taken home so that I could heat up and eat a la mode. read more

Holy COW! Get here at 1100 opening. By 1130 there's a nice line of locals that know their business. Ribs were rubbed with plenty of pepper. Taste before you sauce them up! Incredible tenderness, smoky beefy. Slaw had good garlic bite, but loved the jalapeño cream corn. No Music is a big disappointment. Interior is Texas Chic. Service is fast and friendly Brisket was so wonderfully soft that the meat slipped off the fork. Amazingly flavorful read more

Great bbq and quick service. Beware that if you come in the evening, most of the bbq will be sold out. Thankfully, they had a few options for me to try. The chopped brisket was excellent, very moist, and not too fatty. I also enjoyed the cheese sausage even though I wanted the jalapeño sausage. I also liked the sides that came with the combo. The homemade coleslaw and corn were both good. Prices were reasonable, and two sauce choices were available at each table. Both had great flavors. I can't wait to come back to try the ribs and other sides. read more

We are on a road trip from California to Midwest. This is our lunch spot. We saw really high review and was excited!! The ribs are really good, soft and juicy and already full of flavor without adding the BBQ sauce. We ordered the brisket 1/2 pound as well, but I ordered it sliced, so it was not as juicy as if it was to be chopped up. The jalapeno corn was surprisingly good, not too spicy ( I have low tolerance), not overpowering, creamy but not too cheesy. It was a great side And peach cobbler was good. I think too sweet for my Asian taste. Tea was also good, but too sweet for me. The staff was nice to help us to cut down the cost by replacing our drink as a side so it's a few dollars cheaper. The Ambience is very Texas? It's clean, and friendly, nothing fancy, but cowboy vibe! Saturday only beef ribs is what we didn't realize that we could have ordered. Make sure to order and try that!! read more

Very solid bbq, and convenient for any road trippers! I'll be honest, I've tried bbq in west Texas before while on a road trip and was just not impressed, so Tyler's was welcomed redemption. The staff is friendly, service is quick, prices are reasonable, sauce and sides are tasty, and of course the meat is good. Dog friendly patio, too! Definitely worth a visit. read more
