Falls Steaks and burgers occupy places of high honor on many Amarillo menus. Or if that's a bit too exotic, you can't go wrong with the chicken, sausage and barbecued ribs.
Prices are moderate.
Otherwise, try one of the 11 types of hot dog or the steak fingers made from real sirloin. The chess pie is great too. Holley Joe Holley is an award-winning journalist, editor and author.
