★★★★★ 5.0 Danny Galvan · Feb 2026

I hadn't been here in years. Honestly, I had forgotten all about it. My wife and googled good hamburger spots and this popped up. Took me back and it was just like I remembered it. Great food! Nostalgic drive in where they come out to your car and take your order. Staff was great! Our new "Friday After Work" place!

★★★★★ 5.0 Dylan Worley · Jan 2026

Was neat to experience some greasy history of Amarillo - decent price and quality.

★★★★★ 5.0 Justice Honor · Oct 2022

Amazing. I am so impressed and surprised. Looks can be deceiving because I thought this place was closed down! As soon as we parked we were immediately assisted. Ordered the mushroom Swiss burger with grilled onions and it was one of the best burgers I’ve had in my entire life. Also ordered steak fingers and fries with gravy, all delicious. Great service and great food, very filling. The only thing I can see needs improving is the menu sign to include prices. There are no prices and while the food was reasonably priced it is like ordering in the dark. For $20 we received the Swiss burger, large Coke, fries, steak fingers basket that came with fries and gravy.

One of the best cheeseburgers I’ve even eaten. I’ve traveled the world for work and I always eat. Chicago, St. Louis, Miami, china, England, Russia. Excellent service , a little extra money I felt but well worth it. Only the best stay in business as long as this place has. A++

★★★★★ 5.0 Tim Gallagher · Jun 2020

This place is a hidden gem in Amarillo, This place takes you back to good old days being a old fashion drive inn. The food is always super good, especially the burger and fries combo. The price is always great here. They do offer shakes and many other foods as well.
