Coming from NM to Texas for the weekend and was craving a good chicken fried steak. This was the first place I came to. The chicken fried steak was very good and a nice size. I had the grilled corn and it was very delicious as was the mashed potatoes. The service was outstanding and the food came out pretty quick for it being around lunch time. My only problem is with the butter they gave me for the bread. It was cold, so it was hard to spread on the bread. This isn't the only place that does this. It's be of the things that just seems easy to do. Besides that one little thing the place was great. read more

I really wasn't thrilled with the place. My husband liked it more than I did for sure. Everything was carbs galore. I picked the shrimp and grits . Eh I liked the grits . He got the coffee rubbed steak which surprisingly did not taste like coffee. As a coffee hater I thought it was pretty good. The twisted potato chips to me was the best thing yeah carbs I know lol . Restaurants really need to get with the times and have something on the menu less carbs other than a just a boring salad . Salads can be awesome with toppings. Do that!! Would I personally come again I wouldn't! Hubs might . I will be looking for a better restaurant next time for sure. To me it suffers from the same thing the Big Texan does it's touristy . You got to back it up . You didn't. Service the waitress wasn't all there oh yeah there was a hair in our cheesecake. I swear they just took the top off and gave it back . We made the best of it but NEVER AGAIN!! read more

3.5 stars actually. The service was very nice and on the ball, the seating area was nice and music not too loud. We could actually hear each other talk. And the food was ok. It's not going to knock your socks off but if you're hungry it's ok and will fill you up. read more

Hoffbrau Steak & Grill House - Steakhouses Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

I ordered a 10 oz ribeye, baked potato with a house salad. The steak was maybe seven inches round and less than an half inch with tons of grainy spices on top. The favor was not that good and there was a piece of gristle right in the middle of the steak. I would describe the meat as a tough skirt steak. I believe they pulled a bait and switch, but that's just my opinion. The potato was lukewarm warm and looked like it had been sitting in a pan for quite some time. They brought us wheat bread rolls that were gummy in texture. The house salad was actually good and the blue cheese dressing was great. I also had an order of limp greasy fries. I could not stomach finishing them. The other people at my table also had a disappointing meals. One had the pressed chicken meat chick fried chicken. She didn't finish that mess. The other wanted ribs but was told the restaurant was out of them so he ordered a pork chop. He did not enjoy his meal, too tough. I paid $88+ for a very disappointing meal. The service was good and friendly. Don't eat at this aging restaurant because you will waste your money for overpriced substandard food. 5/30: The response given by the owner is a typical response. Apparently, his only action is to ensure the employees are informed so there is not a repeat. He pretty much says this every time. He just blowing smoke giving the impression he really cares. The only way to teach these substandard servers of food is to hit them in the pocketbook. Don't waste your money at Hoffbrau! read more

Burger was tasty but the biscuit was rock hard, the steak was terrible and the chicken fried steak was meh. Not sure how those other five star ratings occurred. read more

We really enjoy the Hoffbrau steakhouse and always stop by on the way back to Houston . Quality steak at a good price. Great service and atmosphere. Three of us had the smoked sirloin really liked it. My son had the coffee ribeye and he thought it was really good. read more

After a long morning if travel and day in the Texas Panhandle sun, I needed a proper steak and cold beer. Hoffbrau certainly delivered. Juicy, flavorful, hit-the-reset-button kind of good. My colleague from the Pacific Northwest got their first taste of chicken fried steak, and let's just say: they saw the light. Perfect crust, smothered right. We wrapped it up with a few local beers, good laughs, and full stomachs. Solid food, friendly service, and just what two road-weary folks needed. Definitely a go-to when in Amarillo. read more

Tamara was the best server! So friendly and great recommendations. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Coffee rubbed ribeye was incredible- super flavorful and juicy. Would come here again when in town!! read more

We ordered our dinner and I asked specifically for a medium rare burger. It came out medium. The manager Enares brought out another one cooked medium rare. It was delicious.

Fun decor-old doors on the ceiling. The restaurant has two private/big rooms towards the back. The smoked sirloin was absolutely amazing-literally the best steak I've had in I don't even know how long. Cooked perfectly medium rare. Sides were good. Fried onion appetizer was yummy-our young kids ate them up! Complimentary bread is a sweet wheat-very good when hot. Service was great-Taylor was attentive and quick, being very kind and patient as we weighed our options. Half price appetizers and some drink specials Monday through Friday from 3-6pm. Will be sure to visit again next time we're in Amarillo. read more

Hoffbrau Steak & Grill House - Smoked sirloin (had 5 pieces-took the pic late!) comes with 2 sides - Steakhouses Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Great beers and amazing service. We sat at the bar and had amazing food and drinks. When driving across the country, it can be risking stopping along the road at places you haven't tried before, but this one is sure thing. read more

Smoked sirloin special with sweet potato and house salad was $28. It was an odd but tasty cross between brisket and a steak but more towards very thick cut and tender brisket. It fell in between satiating either craving , but was worth trying! Excellent service! read more

I'm a big fan of this place. I was cajoled into coming here with a local and it turns out, they were right. This is probably one of Amarillos best restaurants. The bread is excellent. Their steaks are always cooked perfect (so far) and the service has been excellent every time. The inside reminds me of a Texas Roadhouse kind of. Not too fancy so you can enjoy your meal without a tie. Anyway, if you're passing through on 40, give it a try. I bet you'll like the bread too! read more

After traveling in a car for a day, we checked into the hotel and walked to this restaurant. Felt good to stretch the legs. We were seated in a nice booth in this cowboy themed restaurant. The menu was very meat focused and I opted for the grilled chicken with a salad and steamed broccoli as my sides. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. I appreciated being able to choose the veggies as sides to keep the meal healthy. Husband had the ribs and a loaded baked potato. Ribs were covered in a Dr Pepper sauce which was tasty. Potato was a little hard and not so hot. Service was good. Overall, it was a nice stop. read more

I haven't eaten here in 10 years or so and decided to give it a whirl. So glad I did! I ordered water and an adult beverage, which arrived within maybe 3 minutes after I ordered. The drink was stronger than expected so they didn't skimp on alcohol! I ordered the chicken fried steak and asked to sub a baked potato for the mashed potatoes, saying, "I know it'll be extra and that's okay" and the amazing waitress said "Nope, no extra charge." NICE. This came with bread and a salad. My only (tiny) complaint was the bread looked a little too toasted, but it tasted good all the same. The chicken fried steak and baked potato came out literally 9 minutes after I ordered. The breading was crispy and flavorful and the steak was tender without any stringiness. The wait staff was very attentive and nice. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be back when I'm in town! read more

Read some reviews and pulled off for steak while passing thru Texas. I'm mean when in Texas, you have to eat beef! Steak was perfect-Salad was good! Candied bacon was cold, hard and more like a jerky. Not what I was expecting-I'll pass next time. The potato's were good-just wish I had had a titch more than an ice cream scoop. The service was excellent. Our waitress Maddison was timely and sweet. Her co-worker not so much, Taylor. It's 4:30 and slooooow, yet she let the table across from us sit dirty our entire visit. Grrrrrrr But this place will be on the list to come back to when we pass thru! Good value and good food! read more

My wife and I were looking for a steak dinner traveling through Amarillo, Texas and we looked around and we checked to see what was open and we found this place and I will tell you the server was extremely down to earth. She was amazing actually sat down and went over the menu with us and we were very impressed. We both ordered a meal for two with two top sirloin steaks and we had two sides with it. It was amazing. Their drinks were amazing and the service was amazing with the atmosphere of the steakhouse. I would highly suggest that if you want a well priced meal you go there because the other steakhouses are just so commercialized. read more

Steak is always cooked perfectly. The service is great! The place has a good vibe. I would eat there again.

Great food with Texas atmosphere. Keagan, our server, was great. I'd definitely come back here again. read more

Hoffbrau Steak & Grill House - Bar area - Steakhouses Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

We stopped at this restaurant as we were on our way to Houston. My husband wanted a steak. We both ordered the filet mignon. What we were served was not filet mignon. What it was is anybody's guess. The waitress even admitted many customers had sent the steaks back as we did. It was a horrible dining experience. As far as I know, there wasn't a manager on site. Never again. A big waste of time, money, and dining experience. read more

Absolutely amazing food. Nice and clean and not loud at all. Service was alright not the greatest but it was good. read more

Hoffbrau Steak & Grill House - Steakhouses Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

This restaurant was a major surprise that I never saw coming! I tend to avoid any restaurant that is a chain as a rule as the food tends to be overpromised yet under delivers and the staff doesn't tend to care as long as they get a paycheck. I didn't know anything about Hoffbrau except that it had a few locations so to me it meant chain restaurant but we were hungry from traveling and it was near the hotel so I gave in when the husband picked it. Let me just say that it was the best surprise I've had in a longtime! I expected it to be loud and full of college kids drinking on a Friday night to start the Memorial Day weekend but it was oddly intimate and friendly. The menu was full of appetizing choices at great prices too! We had scheduled an escape room adventure for after dinner so I was worried about getting too full so I ordered two appetizers to pick at for my meal: the candied bacon and the cream of broccoli soup. Let me tell you: you NEED to eat BOTH the candied bacon and the cream of broccoli soup before you die. I don't care if you are a vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, diabetic, etc. If you die from sugar intake due to the candied bacon, you'll die happy because it was WORTH it! I shared the candied bacon with my husband and we both agreed it was better than S.E.X! And that's saying a lot! Cream of broccoli soup is my favorite all-time soup and I am PiCkY when it comes to getting it right! It has to be the right thickness, temperature, amount of broccoli, etc and this was PERFECTION worthy of a Top Chef All Stars Finale Competition. My husband ordered the coffee rubbed steak and I HAD to try it! It was epic! So was his grilled corn on the cob! Honestly, we were both too full to get to his other side but we fell in love with this restaurant! And let's be honest - staff can make or break your experience of a restaurant. Our waiter was so kind and helpful that when we noticed his wife and kids having dinner there as well, we insisted on paying for their food once we heard he also had multiple kids he was supporting that were going to college. Great place! Great staff! Great food! Will absolutely go back! read more

Service was spot on. My filet was cooked perfectly though the seasoning was very heavy causing a black pepper crust that I could have done without. The baked potato would not even melt the butter so I didn't eat it. I ordered a banana pudding to go. It was just canned vanilla pudding with a few slices of banana and graham cookies on top. read more

Started with Mango tea and Fried Pickles. Perfect start. Pickles were breaded and cooked perfectly. My wifes 10.2.4 burger was ordered medium rare and was cooked perfectly. Her mac and cheese was incredible. Cheesy and tasted great. I had the Steak Salad also cooked medium rare and it was perfect. Everything was fresh and the flavors were great. Very great experience. read more

Fillet and shrimp were awesome! So was the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes! Fried mushrooms were the best I've ever had. Ask for Kat as your server and the manager, Enaris, visited our table to check on us and make sure all went well. So much better than the commercialized steakhouse down the road! Definitely try it out! read more

Hoffbrau Steak & Grill House - Chicken Fried steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

It's conveniently located from the interstate. It also near lots of hotels.It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. This restaurant still has that old time feel it's a definite classic type vibe and the staff have been there for years it's about expectations this is not a mall based restaurant or a high end bistro somewhere. The food was well prepared hot and delicious. It's a busy place and it's because it's great food and a nice atmosphere. I can say as a single person that it's also welcoming. All the bartenders are very talented and make some really good mixed drinks. I had a wonderful whiskey sour and then I enjoyed a local beer. I started with the jalapeno Broccoli soup and it was delicious... I'm a big fan of smoked meat. So I had to try the Smoked sirloin It tasted wonderful and was cooked to perfection. I usually stop in Amarillo a couple times a year and I will be back. read more

I just want to say 1st of all our waitress Merri was the sweetest little waitress. All of the waiters and managers were awesome. My husband and I both ordered the cowboy ribeye. Really good, the chili was really good we ordered more to go. Happy we went!! read more

Words cannot express I grateful my family and I are for Colleen and her team on Friday June 6. We had reserved their semi- private room for what I thought was going to be around 35 people. Well around 65-70 people showed up. They were AMAZING! The pivoted and found a solution! Once we found seats for everyone they were organized and efficient! Thank you so much!! read more

Went for an early dinner and sat at the bar. Was surprised to see a 3 yr old sitting on her mom's lap at the bar! Ordered a cocktail and perused the menu. Decided on the filet and shrimp with mashed potatoes, jalapeño and brown gravy and side salad. My salad came quickly. The blue cheese dressing was good but I wished my salad had been colder and crisp. Shortly after my meal came. My steak was cooked perfect medium rare and was a nice thick cut. Also had 6 grilled shrimp that were also cooked perfect, moist and tender. The mashed potatoes were meh and so weee the gravies. Wouldn't order again. If I'm in town again, I would return. read more

Very good burgers! Great waitstaff. Good beer list . Excellent cocktails!! Next time I will try the steaks.

Food was good, steak cooked to specs, service also very good. Restaurant wasn't very busy however. Dinner rolls were very tasty

Fried pickles Cup of chili with jalopeno cheese Steak with fried shrimp with and another appetizer that I cannot remember it was a pepper with cheese on it I think but it was very good and the service I said at the bar and the service was really nice and the food was very fresh very hot when it got to me I was really impressed. I just didn't expect it to be that well and the food to be that good so the service and the food was great and definitely wanna go back. I understand they have a restaurants in and around all over Texas so it's a great place great atmosphere the music was loud, but it wasn't too loud that I couldn't have a conversation and they had TVs in there on closed caption where you could hear the music and also understand what's going on on the TV which is really fun really really great place well managed. read more

TLDR: Bad service, shitty food If I could leave no stars I would. The wait was 35 minutes, which seemed fair considering how many people there were. What was not fair was the extremely poor customer service. The wait for a server to get to our table was another 15 minutes. Not only was the food overpriced, it was shit. I could get a better burger at Burger King. Save your money and go to Outback, which is right next door. read more

We travel through Amarillo regularly and we are considered regulars at Hofbrau. The food is always excellent. Wonderful recipes from the broccoli soup to the famous barbecue sauce. If you are lucky, Tracy will be your server. So efficient and fun....she deserves a raise. We always enjoy Hofbrau, for many reasons. read more

Elena (and her trainee) are great servers. Sirloin was a bit over cooked (ordered MR and it was MW-W and very tuff) but no way could I take a star away due to the fact that the service and Salmon were so great. Great place to eat, hostess was just as friendly, we appreciate y'all filling us in about Amarillo & the Cadillac ranch on our road trip! See you next time!! read more

We ordered the chicken fired steak and it was very good. They seem to have been short staffed, but the young man who waited on us, assured us a couple of times he would be here with us soon as he could. We were not in a hurry so didn't mind, and he was a good waiter. I would definitely go there again. read more
