As we were passing through Amarillo I had the kid look up a BBQ place in the area that had good…read morereviews and wasn't some mall based chain type place and he came up with Tyler's. Decided to give it a go and we are glad we did! Pulled in for lunch and the place was hoppin'! Long line, all local plates...always a good sign! We had a brisket sandwich and the brisket meat plate, sweet tea, and lemonade. Everything was delicious and the sauces were wonderful. Service was fast and friendly. Plenty of seating and an open inviting atmosphere. If we lived in the area, this would definitely be a go-to spot!

So, we were coming through Amarillo, Texas looking for good barbecue. With all the good reviews, I…read morethought for sure this was going to be good. I am very much supportive person for small business owners. So, I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed. The only A+ I could give here was good fast service. Let's talk about the most important component of Tyler's BBQ. All of the brisket and sausage was dry and VERY salty. The only saving grace was the BBQ sauce. ( I had to drink a lot of tea and water. ) The potato salad I would give 3.5/5 - decent, but memorable. The coleslaw was decent but meh 3.5/5. There were customers there, but mostly loyalists who are used to the food. It wasn't packed at all. Ambiance/Decor With all the accolades on the wall and even on the door "unless we are sold out," I was hopeful that the food would be better than the decor. It felt like Tyler's was sitting pretty on its laurels and accolades and were riding its own past coattails. The floors were crack. The place was quite dark. Things look like it never even got a coat of paint in a long time. The "rustic country" style needed an update. Now, I hate giving this place a bad review, but someone has to be honest and give constructive criticism. As of newcomer, I wouldn't recommend this place right now. Sorry, Tyler's BBQ- hope you can take constructive criticism and make your place better. Good luck.

The ribs were also on-point with the dry rub having pops of tasty pepper & other complex seasoning-- you know these tender ribs are good when they require ZERO sauce! We tried 4 sides and all of them were delicious... the soft-cooked greens were classic & tasty, the potato salad was great, the pinto beans were particularly good, and the cole slaw was fresh, crunchy & rich in flavor. The people that worked there, from the counter folks to the servers were ALL great, super nice & friendly. I'm not sure what more I could ask for-- they even have a back patio that was dog-friendly so our guy could stay cool, and not be in the hot car as we passed through town.

I had the small rib plate. 3 meaty smokey ribs so tender the meat came right off the bone. With the sweet hickory bbq sauce adding just the right flavor, I was sold. The pinto beans were cooked just right. The cole slaw is the type I like, not over mayonnaised and not too sweet. Crunchy cabbage. There were 7 of us, and everyone cleaned their plate!

Sitting is family-style, which is just part of the Texas charm and gives you a chance to meet your fellow travelers. It's a steakhouse and their steaks are definitely the star of the show. You have other options on the menu if beef isn't your thing. Steaks are usually cooked to your choice and seasoned perfectly, the rolls and butter are delicious. They have an excellent drink selection and have some home beers that are worth the try. I've always been too full to order dessert, but it's there for your selection. Service has always been friendly and I do hope the staff know how great they are.
