The Amarillo And Tavern - Monroe

The food is good and so is the service, but I am not really a big fan to put your order in the register and then wait. This facility found that they were not employees during the pandemic and never got. I want to see that this place back to a typical sit-down restaurant that has staff to wait for people (take their orders, refill drinks, etc., as they currently have people who both do the cash register and wait for customers. Overall a good place to eat with friendly people.

Solid bbq sauce, well decorated and the food was quite good for bbq in the NW. Needs a little more season on the ribs, but the slim and fat bride was solid. The showtopper was the roasted Okra, I don't usually see it on a menu so I had to definitely get it and it was delicious!

This place is ideal for BBQ. Smack Dab on top. We had Thanksgiving turkey from here and it was really good. Brisket is also really good. I can't be wrong with what you order here. I moved here from Texas to say a lot because BBQ is my favorite food. You can order Takeout or dive in. The staff is great! Helpful and friendly.

Very good BBQ. I had the sampler plate. The brisket was served perfect temperature. It was moist juicy. Could use a little bit more seasoning as it was kinda bland for my taste buds. The corned beef was really good. The ribs were delicious perfectly seasoned but it was a little dry barely warm. Chicken was excellent, Fall off the bone tender. Sweet potato fries was really really good. Service was excellent by the two super nice ladies working there on a Sunday.

I was thrilled, when looking for restaurants while visiting Monroe last November, I came across a Texas BBQ place. I was a little annoyed though when it took quite a few minutes for someone to take my order and then took about twice as long for my food to be ready as I was told, even though there was literally only one other table occupied in the restaurant at the time. And only one other person came while I was there for pickup, so they very much did not appear to be busy. Then, even after the long wait, and even though they charge me $2 extra for the Texas Style to add bread pickles and onions, when I got to my hotel I discovered that those accouterments had not even been included. And all of that would have been just a minor aggravation if halfway through my meal I hadn 't found a long hair stringing its way through my food. Since I haven 't hair that long in many years, it definitely wasn 't mine. And since it was very much embedded in the food, there was no question it was from the kitchen employee that I had seen working at the restaurant who, in retrospect, hadn 't been wearing a hair net. The food seems like it *would have* been good if they got my order right and managed to have their staff using basic restaurant hygiene protocols. But since most of the order went in the trash can, I really can 't say for sure. UPDATE after owner response: The visit was on November 21, 2021. I had been meaning to write the review and was reminded by reviewing my expense report. Sorry if not writing reviews promptly seems somehow nefarious, but it was according to the receipt, it was receipt number 53313 at 4:31pm with server Colton B. for a meat combo $24 Texas Style $2 . And when I was there that evening, the only person I saw working in the kitchen was a guy with long hair. And I wouldn 't have minded the longer wait if I had just been told that was going to be the wait or if some update other than we 're still working on it had been provided. And getting the order right after getting charged extra would have been nice too.
