Steakhouses, Texas barbecue, downtown kitchens, and Route 66 stops

Restaurants in Amarillo

Choose Amarillo restaurants by appetite and neighborhood: classic steakhouse spectacle, smoked brisket and ribs, or a downtown table after Palo Duro Canyon.

Three distinct Amarillo meals

The Big Texan is an I-40 attraction as much as a steakhouse. Tyler's Barbeque is a lunch-oriented choice with limited weekly hours. Downtown restaurants serve a different evening, especially when the hotel is near Polk Street. Check current hours before building a day around any one kitchen.

Steakhouse spectacle

The Big Texan packages steaks, neon, gift-shop excess, and the famous 72-ounce challenge into one roadside production east of downtown. Choose it for the show as much as the plate.

Barbecue at lunch

Tyler's Barbeque is the focused smoked-meat stop, with brisket, ribs, and sandwiches. Its posted schedule closes Sunday and Monday, so use it on a weekday or Saturday rather than the final morning.

Downtown evening

Six Car Pub & Brewery is a downtown choice, while Cask & Cork sits on the southwest side of the city. Six Car does not open for an early breakfast; verify current service and reservations directly.
