This was a great place for us to stop to eat on our road trip. It is located on the route 66 antique shops area which makes it cool already. It is pet friendly and we opted to eat here because we brought Fido with us. We started out on one of the patio tables. It looked like it was going to rain and we requested a table that wouldn't get wet. We got served our food and in my third bite, the sweet waitress came out to tell us to come inside WITH THE DOG. Luckily it wasn't too packed or bothersome to other eaters. She told us to grab our plates and she took Fido inside. She set us up, yet again for the third time. Food was pretty good. My son got a plate of ribs and devoured them. Super tender. Hubby got fried catfish and he liked it. I loved the chicken tender plate. Well served and super crispy. But the most special treatment was for Fido. He got a piece of bacon for behaving excellent inside. There's a jukebox which makes it even better.

Fun place! The server was so nice. The food was okay. Bar food vibe.

Great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. The smokey Joe's burger hit the spot, but the fries could've been better. Should've went with my gut and ordered the onion rings, definitely going to try them next time I go.

I am rating Smokey Joes on two scales. One as a watering hole. The second for food. As a neighborhood watering hole it’s a 5. Cool roadside biker bar vibe. Much like the Hideaway in Cavecreek AZ. It’s got a great American setting with a quintessential Texas atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating. Downtown Amarillo on old Route 66. Very cool place that’s comfortable and relaxed. We were here on a Sunday night. So things were relaxed. But I can imagine that a Friday or Saturday is a full house. The second rating is for the food. The chicken fried steak was great. The potato’s and beans. Great. Just that they were cold. We also had the catfish. The fish was tender and light. The coleslaw excellent. The fries greasy and luke warm. So close on the food….. Don’t know if it was cold from the kitchen or sat there waiting for someone to serve it to us. But the food was a 3 star for sure. We would go back for the atmosphere anytime. But be careful about the food. Maybe a burger next time! It’s is a cool area of Amarillo and a must see if you are passing through. Get off the I40 and come to this area.

Stumbled in and was pleasantly surprised. Found myself sitting for a minute trying to figure out what i wanted from their fairly sized menu. Went with the chicken fried steak and was very satisfied. The meat was crunchy and tender, not too dry. The breading was well-seasoned, and the jalepeno gravy sauce on top really took it home. The green beans were nice and tasty without being insanely salty. The staff seemed friendly and the other customers were having a good time. Place was lively without being over the top loud. Would definitely come back next time im in town.

We like eating at local joints as much as we can, we searched out reviews and found this place where the menu looked promising with a variety to choose from. Food and drinks were great service is where this place sadly lacks and it appears to be from new staff with lack of experience and customer service skills. When we arrived we did a walk through of the place and went to sit outside as the weather was great and we sat around the corner from the band as there were no other tables and this way we got to hear the tunes but not be super loud. After sitting for a few min hubby walked inside to the bar and ordered our drinks and told the bartender we were sitting outside and were wanting menus; he brought drinks back to the table and we continued to wait.......bartender happened to come through probably 10-15 min later and asked us if we had ordered yet (checking in on us obviously) that's when we told her we still hadn't gotten menus. She looked over her shoulder to see where the waitress was and told us she would get them for us ASAP and apologized for the delay. She came back and took our order and checked in on us as she could, but it was obvious to us that she was THE bartender for the whole place and she wasn't able to attend to us as we expected but after figuring out what was happening, we understood and that's the reason for the 4 star as the food, drinks and atmosphere were great! There was only one waitress we observed working outside, there was a large table with about 8 people, so I understand a delay but she was wondering around looking clueless and never attempted to see if we needed anything or make eye contact. We had fried pickles which were very thin slices which is my preference because you get the perfect amount of everything and they can stay crispy- bit of grease in bottom of basket could have been remedied by a better liner; but they were delish! I had a kicken chicken wrap I know I am difficult when I order and the bartender took my 'adjustments' of no pico and not to toss the chicken in sauce AND I wanted the chipotle ranch instead of the regular in stride joking along with me which I appreciate a lot! It was obviously freshly made and just like I asked for it, everything tasted good together and I would stop here again if we are passing through here again; maybe next time a bike trip!

Had the worst chicken fried steak ever, but the service was exceptional, beer was cold and there was live music!

Marilyn Garcia

Got nachos and fried pickles the nachos were pretty good definitely lacking a little seasoning as for the pickles .. they were mediocre. Just not crunchy. But the service was great and the atmosphere is great too good band was playing.

Walked by and came in for lunch while shopping in town. At first the waitress was super nice. I have never heard so much bickering, yelling or drama with staff so blatant and open in front of people. It was honestly obnoxious to hear. We never got a refill. Our cheese curds were undercooked and we heard the kitchen yelling about cheese curds versus cheese sticks. My burger was just okay, but the bun was wet on the bottom and I hate soggy bread. My girlfriend enjoyed her salad. We were her much longer than you’d expect because the slow service and time it took to get a bill. I wouldn’t return to this place.

The chicken fried steak was very good. The cobbler was microwaved not fresh. I ate inside bar and for only having three tables in use, it was very loud. The kitchen staff sent wrong cobbler the first time. It took over 40 minutes to get the right cobbler. CFS, one beer, one sweet tea and cobbler for one person not including tip was almost $30. I do NOT recommend this place.

Walked in and sat at the bar. 10 minutes and no one showed up to take orders or even make an appearance. We left! Georgia Street Taphouse was very accommodating

Sabina Kulach

Staff was very nice but the food is nasty. Had the catfish and fries which came with a side of coleslaw. Fish was not crispy, fries seemed like they were under the heat lamp since the morning, and coleslaw tastes and smells likes it’s gone bad.
