    Diner food, pie, and airplanes. It doesn't get better than this! Our server was awesome across the board. Great food selection for breakfast and lunch. Excellent food and reasonable sized portions. Great views of the runway. It's a very comfortable space and not too crowded feeling. i'll definitely be back.

    Cheeseburger

    One of the best burgers I've had! I ordered the cheeseburger with chips. The meat is thick and juicy. The bun is super soft. Staff is really nice. The restaurant has been packed both times I've been here, but service is quick! It's a cool little diner. Gotta come check it out!

    Oh my the service was excellent the environment was great, crowded on this Thursday night( this location is only open Thursday and Friday) the food was superb. We sat outside and ate while watching airplanes ...great meal!

    Hamburger steak with grilled onions and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. A side of au jus. Comes with a dinner salad (not pictured).

    OMG. 5 I just left a doctor appointment and wanted to take myself out to lunch. I did an online search for local restaurants nearby and Shelby's Diner was on the way home for me. I didn't want to eat at a chain and home cooking sounded great. Wow, am I happy I went there! The people were friendly, the waitress was wonderful and everything was served quickly. She took the time to chit chat with me a little bit (but not enough so that any of her other tables had to wait) and was super kind. The salad before the meal had tons of ingredients (I love cucumber and a lot of places don't put cucumbers on their salads anymore so they get bonus points for that!) Even the honey mustard dressing was amazing... The waitress gave me a little extra dressing without me having to ask . I got the hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and brown gravy with sauteed onions. Chef's kiss! It was hot, flavorful, and a very large portion. Kind of a small town diner style cafe at Tradewinds Airport with cool nostalgic stuff about the original owner on the wall. Even the other customers were friendly. I sat near the entrance so people had to walk by me to leave and every single person smiled and said hello. I heard a person at a table on one side of me talk about how they always love coming here and every meal is great. I heard another person across from me say that they had never been here before but it was their new favorite spot. Friends, if you haven't been here, you should stop by. Oh and I got the key lime pie for dessert but I was too full to eat it so I'm saving it for later. I'm sure it'll be fabulous! I hear the best time to go is Monday morning because their breakfast is incredible and you get to watch planes take off if you're sitting by the big windows. I'll definitely go back for that! I rarely eat alone so I was feeling some type of way about that, but it truly felt like I was just eating in a friend's big dining room with a bunch of new neighbors. ‍

All the new items are creative, flavorful and delicious. 2. The service is really superb. Terri is a fan-favorite, but the other servers are equally great.

    Food ordered not as described on menu: ordered Strawberry and goat cheese salad which comes with…read morespinach, strawberries, walnuts, and goat cheese, and balsamic vinegar. Instead got iceberg lettuce, cabbage, snap peas, carrots, raddish, and half a waffle in the salad bowl. At least there was the cheese, walnuts, strawberries, and dressing- but not at all like described. When one of the servers came to the table with the food, he clarified wha was brought was the strawberry salad. Checked after meal on a menu that what I was presented was not as written. Major bummer. Food presentation was subpar as well, with one of the apitizers having double the amount of sauce on top as another which barely had any. The server was kind- major props to her- but it took a while after we sat down to be served. Only pluses are that the fried green tomatoes were okay, as was the coffee. Definitely going to find a new breakfast spot.

    Many vegan options with true vegetables as the vegan "meat replacement" vs a faux meat product…read more(although if you're into that they do offer an impossible option). I had the imposter with breaded mushrooms. Super crispy Cremini mushrooms with great crunch but the rest was kinda meh, romaine and drizzle of sauce and balsamic. At least with the pickled onions there was a little palate tease. Also tried the Al pastor with jackfruit. Opted for this version on a salad and it's a whopping serving size. Hearty serving of jackfruit with plenty of sauce and dressing. Had nice little nibs of some crunch too. Service was super, super nice. I'd call the inside dive-ish. Totally relaxed and chill ambiance. I'll be back to try more items! My one dislike was that I don't care for the balsamic drizzle on either dish... just doesn't pair well with these flavors. Side of pineapple was yummy to balance the heaviness of both dishes.

For lunch during one of my days visiting Amarillo, I tried Yellow City Street Food off Wolflin. Inside, the space is cute. They have yellow chairs, pink walls, and cool artwork scattered throughout. When we ordered, the server was very helpful with recommendations and helped us land on what we ultimately chose. They also have a chef's daily special that rotates every day, and you never really know what he could be cooking up. The day we went, the special was Pad Kee Mao, which my girlfriend ordered with their fried tofu. As for me, I got their tacos. The first was their Hulk with jerk chicken, cotija, pineapple, and more, and the second was their Al Pastor with pork, crema, chile rojo, and more. Both came out looking fantastic and were absolutely crushed by me. One thing I noticed on their menu is their vast selection of vegan options. Most meat options usually have a vegan alternative with a specific replacement for the meat. For the Hulk, it's chickn soy curls, and for the Al Pastor, they use jackfruit. It's super innovative and very welcoming to vegan and vegetarian diners. I really like this approach instead of throwing the same meat substitute on everything. Knowing what works best with each dish can really make or break it. We also ordered a side of their Salt and Pepper Fries to share, which were well cooked, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I enjoyed the pepper seasoning on these quite a bit. To drink, we tried their blueberry pomegranate tea, which was delicious. I really liked my food here and, of all the places I tried in Amarillo, I would say this is definitely one of the best. It's unique without overdoing it, and you'll leave with a good meal in your stomach if you give them a shot. RIYL: Tacos, burgers, or honestly just about anything. They've got it all here.

    Great food decent price and lots of character in the establishment a hot as hell challenge really…read moregot my attention

    If you are looking for white tablecloths, subtle lighting, or a quiet place to whisper sweet…read morenothings, keep driving past Coyote Bluff Cafe (often locally called the "Coyote Bluu" or simply "The Bluff") in Amarillo, Texas. But if your idea of culinary heaven involves a grease-stained paper liner, an old-school Texas roadhouse vibe, and a burger that requires structural support, you have arrived at the right place. Nestled just a few blocks off Interstate 40 in a historic, diminutive former dance hall moved wholesale from neighboring Claude, Texas, Coyote Bluff is tiny. With only about 12 tables packed into its 1,000 square feet, the atmosphere is alive with a loud, friendly hum, a dirt parking lot, and a vintage bathtub floating full of ice and cold beer bottles. The place is amazing!!!! The unique steaming process is really amazing. You have to try the chili cheese fries to go with it. The menu keeps its focus tight, centering around half-pound patties of lean Texas ground beef cooked to order. While traditional options like the Hickory Burger and the Green Chili Cheese Burger are stellar, the undisputed heavyweight titleholder here is the legendary Burger from Hell. I had to try it, my wife opted for the Chicken Fried Steak. Many approach the "Hell Burger" with great trepidation, expecting it to be more of a gimmick built strictly on painful, mouth-numbing heat. Instead, it offers a beautifully layered flavor profile. The beef patty with Tabasco and their proprietary "Coyote Hell Sauce," then smothers it in gooey melted cheese, grilled onions, and fresh, vibrant sautéed jalapeños. It arrived on a toasted onion bun, it lands a solid 7 out of 10 on the heat scale. But rather than scorching your palate, it wraps it in a vinegary, spicy, deeply savory warmth. This place also serves up classic, heavy-hitting Texas roadhouse appetizers: Each of these are amazing sides and are worth of mentioning, First the Cheese Fries with Green Chiles, which I had with my burger and my wife had with her Chicken fried steak, it is served on a massive aluminum platter, these fresh-cut fries are heavily blanketed in melted cheese and mild green chiles. They are a mandatory companion to the burgers.  Other appetizers worth of note, are the Texas Red Chili & Green Chili Stew: The thick, hearty green chili stew is packed with meat and mild green peppers, offering a wonderful warming comfort, especially during cool Panhandle days.  and any of the Fried options ranging from baskets of battered fried pickles, garlic mushrooms, and stuffed jalapeños. Because everything is cooked to order and the dining room is incredibly compact, expect a wait during lunch rushes or weekends. However, that time spent waiting in the dirt lot among locals and passing road-trippers is part of the charm. Coyote Bluff Cafe doesn't try to be anything other than a spectacular, small-town Texas burger joint, and it executes that identity flawlessly. This is a MUST Stop in Texas
