I work at a construction site and Nine Line BBQ has a food truck out there. They have great food, speedy service, and are always cheerful. I love their Brisket Frito Pie! The prices are reasonable and the portions are big. I definitely recommend Nine Line BBQ.

Now this is Texas BBQ! We were traveling through from Colorado and we're looking for BBQ spots. We chose this spot because it is veteran owned and I dont think we could have chosen better! We were greeted at the door and though it was packed (a really good sign) our waiter was amazing! He knew the menu inside and out and was so attentive. Thats just getting started. The food was hands down- stellar! We tried a large amount between the 6 of us. The ribs slid right off the bone and all of the meat was tender and juicy! The sides are carefully crafted to balance the meat and together the meal is perfection! We were lucky enough to spend some time learning about the history of this place from the owner who is passionate about her work. If you are looking for a great spot that is locally owned and operated, give this place a shot!

Very rustic/homey vibe. Funny signage all around. Food is excellent. We got the brisket burnt ends appetizer (delicious!), the family combo with all the sides, and the banana pudding dessert. Everything was high quality, appropriate temperature, and very tasty. Highly recommend the Jalapeño cheddar sausage. Only one server at the time, but he was attentive and friendly. We never felt neglected. Will definitely return!

If you’re anywhere near Amarillo, get yourself to Nine Line BBQ. This place isn’t just smokin’—it’s commanding firepower. The brisket’s juicier than a good story, the ribs bite back just right, and that jalapeño cheddar sausage? Pure BBQ ammo. Load up your plate, soldier—this is flavor worth fighting for. 🔥🥩

This is my second time coming to Nine Line BBQ in Amarillo and I live 10 hours away! Food is superb. Meats are flavorful and juicy. Sides are delicious and complement the meats well. Service is outstanding. I would come here more often, if I lived closer. These are good people with a great product and a great cause. Come give them a try. You won't be disappointed!!!

I am so glad we stopped here! Learned it is veteran owned and operated. A GREAT story behind "Nine Lines" so please go and hear the history! Demetri was our waiter and and did a magnificent job taking care of us, best ribs I've ever had, the smoked chicken is moist which is a rarity with chicken. The coleslaw, I wish I had bought more and taken home. If we come back thru Amarillo will definitely stop again. Great place for family, easy to get to from I-40. Please go and support this veteran owned business, I promise you won't be disappointed!

First time here. It did not disappoint. We got in just in the knock of time to get burnt ends and pulled pork !! Husband ordered burnt ends. I ordered 3 meat plate. Sliced brisket. Pulled pork. Ribs. Sides = mac n cheese and bbq beans. And of course we had the banana pudding. 1. The staff was super nice 2. The staff hustles !!! These folks move fast. Ain’t no slow motion going on around here. 3. Food was great. 4. Great veteran vibe. Thank you for your service !! We will be back.

I live right behind 9 Line and have never tried it, but smell the smoke every morning going to work. Service was very fast and friendly. Got the 2 meat with coleslaw , which I mis- ordered, meant to get the potato salad. Don't like cole- slaw but this was dang tasty. The other dish was The Medic!! Smoked mac n cheese with pulled pork on top. This was just way to good. They also have a smoked meat loaf, haven't tried yet, but heard it is amazing! Will update. Stop in and see then. Monday is meatloaf day at least i still think it is. Go see them won't be disappointed!!

Best BBQ in the Panhandle! There I said it. SERVICE - Friendly ATMOSPHERE- a little crowded but worth it. FOOD- was the best meal I have had ever, (excluding my wife cooking of course.) PRICE- was a bit intimidating but,worth it. (This definitely isn't a Happy Meal, but you should see the smile on my face!) The Ribs is what you must have. It fell off the bone and is honestly the first time I've eaten BBQ with a fork! The brisket was good as well. With a slight hesitation I tried the BBQ sauce, for those of you that do know me, I don't like BBQ Sauce atleast not until just today. The green beans were good but, a little sweet for me. And the Mac and Cheese was on point. The bread was basically an after thought however, I would have preferred it toasted at least. I highly recommend this place and would even go as far as naming this place, as my new favorite spot, in Amarillo!

We were passing through town a bit late, so we ordered takeout. They were out of ribs and brisket, so we ordered Sausage, Chicken, and Pulled Pork, with Mac & Cheese, Green Beans, Coleslaw, & Potato Salad. Food was very good and the BBQ sauce was great. Even better was the young man who took care of us. He was so respectful and told me a little about the owner who served in the military and supports all branches of the U.S. military. 👍🏻👍🏻

This place did not disappoint! Dry rub on the ribs....no need for sauce!! So tender, moist and delicious...fell off the bone! Brisket was tender and moist! Slaw, potato salad and beans all excellent! The owner, John, was a lot of fun to chat with as he gave us samples to try and shared his story! This place is so worth trying and it won't disappoint you! Thanks John, it was all EXCELLENT!!

Such a great place! I visited Nine Line with my family and we enjoyed the delicious food, excellent service, and the atmosphere. They served great sized portions of everything and we had a lot to go around. The smoked mac & cheese was my favorite! I highly recommend stopping by!

Ive been here twice recently. Food was great! Service was better! Me and my girlfriend went through the drive thru on my second visit and I was telling her how the people here are super nice. Anyways we get our stuff and drive off. Before pulling back out onto the road the guy working the window comes running to our car with our drinks. We all forgot about the drinks. But he came running out to get them to us. Most people would not do that. They definitely take care of their customers! Much appreciated, amd again the food is 👌

I recently stopped by this BBQ spot, and honestly, it blew me away. The brisket was insanely juicy—one of those bites that makes you stop talking for a second because it’s that good. It was so tender and smoky that it practically melted the moment I picked up my fork. The sides and sauces were just as impressive, making the whole meal feel complete and comforting. The staff was genuinely friendly and on top of everything, which made the experience even better. If you’re craving real, memorable BBQ, this place is absolutely worth the visit.

We are from out of town...... Best barbecue I've ever had. The chopped brisket is exquisite. We are from Colorado Springs and have nothing like this. Please move to Colorado Springs. You will have our business every weekend. And Colorado Springs could use a place like this..... And you will love it there. And on my word your potato salad...... Best potato salad I've ever had. The beans are amazing. Everything was just so good.

The staff here is so friendly and service is quick and attentive. We tried a lot of the menu (ribs, jalapeno-cheddar sausage, brisket, mac n cheese, beans, and coleslaw). Everything was delicious and the meat really didn’t need any sauce, but the sauces were also tasty! Really recommend this local, veteran-owned spot!

My daughter and I ordered the chopped brisket sandwiches and we were very impressed with the brisket. The flavors of the brisket were a perfect combination of sweet and savory. I would recommend to everyone! Best bbq in town!

We really wanted to love this joint. We love supporting small businesses, especially ones that are veteran owned and help within the community. Unfortunately the brisket was underwhelming. We asked for fatty but got lean that was dry and tasteless. The rib tips were good. The pork ribs were very good, but the sides were just Ok. I really want y'all to succeed so PLEASE step it up a lot!
