Do not head to the airport without 1st stopping by this little gem. Good, simple menu with the highlights being burgers and chicken fried steak. Asked about a burger that I saw in another Google review. It was not on the menu but they gladly suggested an off menu choice and boy it did not disappoint!!! Had a cheeseburger smothered in green Chile sauce. Tots were fried perfectly. Homemade dessert for purchase as well. Atmosphere is low key, warm and welcoming, and family oriented. Even though they were very busy, they treated me like a guest in their home. 10/10 will be back to try the rest of the menu.

I Love the atmosphere as I grew up in Texas and it’s like going back in time. The staff is very friendly and made me feel comfortable even when my lil toddler was wanting to climb on the chairs. The portions were big and my chicken fried steak wudnt bad. I’ll have to go back and try it again

I am so sad I haven't been here before! I have lived here almost 18 years only recently tried this place. I have wasted the last 18 years!!!! The burgers are insanely delicious! The fries are perfectly cooked! The atmosphere gives off dive bar without being off putting. I love it and now I just want to go every chance I get.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The portions are huge! Most importantly, the food is delicious!! I had the chicken fried steak with jalapeño gravy and green chile. Absolutely amazing. Definitely worth a trip here.

This is an excellent place to eat. Those workers are busting their butts to get the food cooked every time I have been there. Everything tastes good. From the stew to the meats to the chili makes you come back for more. Great atmosphere! Such a friendly staff. We tip good to give our thank you back.

We place group orders when working weekends. The food is always ready, fresh and delicious! The prices dont seem to have gone up as much as other restaurants in the area.

It doesn’t look like much from the road, but there were about 10 police motorcycles out front and they always know where the good food is. It is an Old school bar & grill with delicious food. I had chicken fried chicken and fries and it was excellent. The gravy was homemade ( not from a mix) and very tasty. My husband had a BLT and Tots. We couldn’t believe how much bacon was on one Sandwich and was great. He also enjoyed the tots.

Great place to stop on the road! We were traveling and decided to stop here for lunch. We were so glad we did! They had a special plate specifically for people on the Atkins and other keto diets, and it was great!! The BLT sandwich was excellent, and the onion rings outstanding!! The service was prompt and always smiling and friendly!!

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had in my entire life. The same was sad about the special by my friend, which was hamburger steak. The chicken fried steak is amazing. By far one of the best stops in Amarillo.

If you leave here hungry, something went wrong. Specials every week are always tasty and will fill you up. Gets a little busy during lunch, so you might want to show up early.

This place is an incredible little dive spot!! We stopped in because we saw they were having a green chili stew special via social media and we're leaving 100% satisfied! The stew is full of meat and green chilies and a perfect thickness, not watery like some places do it. It's spicy and served with tortillas, but we both ordered a grilled cheese as well. This grilled cheese reminded me exactly of the ones my mom used to make me growing up, they are deeeeeelicious! The waitress (whom I think may be the owner, not sure) was very sweet and gave us just the right attention and care and the place is VERY clean and was cooled well. It smelled strongly of fried food, but we weren't bothered by it and will definitely be returning to try something new!

Their chicken fried steak is amazing. It has green chilies and just the right amount of heat. Huge portions that don't cost an arm and a leg. The few detractors are they're often overwhelmed by huge crowds and so the wait is long. Plus, the soda is by the can and that is just old school. Not tons of seating so get there early before the crowd or face huge lines and nowhere to sit. But, the staff is super friendly and helpful. Definitely a good place to eat.

Decent friendly staff & place to get a meal before a long drive. Burger was good- had a way higher expectations reading reviews though. Thought everything would be homemade turns out it’s not. Thanks for being honest

I come for the jalapeno popper burger when they have it. Every time I've ordered here, the food has been good. I can't wait to try more items off their menu. I've since tried more items off the menu and had to lower my rating. I stand by the jalapeno poppers burger as being the best thing they have there. Unfortunately, that burger is only available as a special and it rarely gets served. I waited over a year for the jalapeno popper burger to come back and it's only a served for a week so I ate there every day that week. Their fries and tots are not good so when I go, I go ONLY for this burger and toss the rest. I've tried their chicken fried steak, wasn't impressed. I've tried their French dip, wasn't impressed. I've tried their onion rings, they were so hard they hurt my teeth to eat them. I also tried to order a chili cheese dog and was told it's only on special, even though it's on the menu. I guess because it's listing says "chili specials" that means they don't serve it all the time and if that's the case I wouldn't put it on the menu.. or at least put when it is served. I wont be trying anything else on their menu but when the jalapeno popper burger comes back, I'll be back for that.
