    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 service here was top-notch and the food was excellent! I love the history of the restaurant,…read morealmost as much as I loved my chicken salad on a croissant. The tater tots were fresh and crispy. My friend had the stacked enchilada with an egg on top... It really looked amazing! Tasted good too. Portions were very large. There is a bar attached to this restaurant but we did not go into it. The decor is lovely and it's very spacious. A lot of men wearing cowboy hats in attendance! Definitely make sure you check out the bathrooms before you leave... Especially the handles on the door stalls. So cool!

    This place is over the top wonderful in every area. I…read moremay get a little wordy, but here goes. The dining room was spacious, every table could be filled, and you'd still be able to walk without asking people to move in. The Bar was equally spacious with plenty of drinking options. We got the deep fried devils egg for the appetizer, these were an amazing combination of texture and flavor. We each got a steak for the main course, both were cooked to perfection and tender beyond anything in our recent memory. The sweet potatoes were so perfectly cooked in seasoned. They were easily consumed using only a fork. We followed up with banana pudding and bread pudding. Both were out of this world. It's unusual to get banana pudding that's made in house and not some flavored glue out of a can. It was topped with whipped cream that actually melted, which told me it was real whipped cream. And it wasn't premade before I ordered because all the vanilla wafers both in it and around, it were crispy and delicious. The bread pudding was equally as delicious. It was dense and sweet and had a nice subtle flavor of bourbon. Even the iced tea was made in house, not from some concentrate or taken out of a soda fountain Our server Parla was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, she made our evening a wonderful overall experience
