Thumbs up, and keep it going!

ok tbg i tried your number one pick for burgers and i have to tell you that you have horrible taste. The burgers were not only burnt to a crisp but had no flavor. the tomatos were sour and the lettuce was bad. The french fries were nearly cold and the service was horrible.

Damn that looks awesome! I wish I had known about it when I was in Amarillo. I stopped at the Coyote Bluff Cafe instead:

Have you been there? How does it compare?

If you are still looking for a great burger in Amarillo, with a unique story, check out the Beef Burger Barrel on Plains Blvd between Georgia and Western. You can't miss it on the north side of the street - the building is literaly a VERY large barrel. The girls that cook at lunch during the week will make your burger any way you want it - extra grease if that's the way you want!! Plus

Go back to Amarillo and go directly to the Golden Light on very very old 66, 6th Ave just west of downtown. THAT'S a burger!

I realize you're the 'Texas' burger guy. But...if you're ever in Oklahoma you have to try a place called Meers. The burgers aren't just hand-formed, the cattle they're made from are raised on the premises and I have yet to find a burger to top them. Here's a link with directions if you're interested.

I am headed home the end of July and I can hardly wait to get to the Docks for my Boonie Burger. I could smell them when I just looked at the photo I know the Building has changed but it sounds like the taste hasn't. Get my burger ready the last Saturday of july

2008-04-09T10:03:00.000-07:00

Well it's me, Chrisg again. I finally made it over the Boondocks since you have it as your #1. The burger was great and very tastey and one of the ladies was nice enough to have me try some of their homemade chips. I've eaten bigger burgers but this one is still a pretty good size burger. I'd definitely eat there again if i were in Amarillo. Thanks for the tip...........Cg

i have gone many, many places and eaten a lot of burgers. the cheeseburger at wills point tx. sale barn (van zandt co. ) is one of the best i have ever laid lips on. it cannot be described other than "old school" and greasy!! yum

2007-05-10T11:09:00.000-07:00

That is the sexiest thing I've ever read in my life. It makes me want to cover my man breasts in grease and listen to some Michael Bolton. Oooh baby you've ended my celibacy.

The Boonie Burger IS fantastic. Everything he said is true.

The SECRET is that the burger is grilled with Red Creek Marinade. I've also had a steak at the Boondocks which was marinated in Red Creek Marinade. Da Bomb!!!!!!!

Plus, I met the guy who invented the marinade down at the boondocks one night. Not only does he make marinades, he also plays the hottest blues fiddle in

Also, the Boonie Burger is marinated in Red Creek Marinade. For extra kick you can get a side of Red Mud sauce for your fries...or burger.

Great review. Makes me a little homesick for my beloved Amarillo (now living in Galveston).

I'd have to give a nod to the Coyote Bluff as well and of course the Golden Light Cafe's beautiful diner burger.

2006-06-13T12:39:00.000-07:00

And for desert -- Coyote Bluff on GRAND off I-40 E. Steaks and Burgers. My favorite is the Hamburger From HELL!. 1/2 lb with sauted onions and Jalapeno peppers. Truly a "Tripple Bypass Special.

For lunch get there by 11:00 AM or stand outside for hours... Ice Cold Beer in a claw foot bathtub.

Howdy TBG,
I have to agree with you about the "Boondocks Bugers". They have some hand-crampin' cold beer also.

When you make it back up here to Amarillo again, try "Arnolds" on Washington St. just north of I-40 a few blocks on the east side of the road.

Ah yes... I go to the Boondocks regularly for lunch. Awesome Awesome AWESOME burgers!

If you are taking suggestions... you ought to go to Panhandle, TX (25 miles to the east of Amarillo) and go to Buffalo Grass. You'll get yourself a great buffalo meat burger!

2006-04-03T23:20:00.000-07:00

I didn't read all of your reviews but from what I read I think you put the boondocks burger at the top of your list. Well, I'm a big burger fanatic myself and if you really want to try a big and greasy but tastey, 1-pound burger, then you need to try the "Hog burger" in Graham,TX. It consists of 2 half pound patties and cheese to ooze, separated by thick slices of hand cut ham and topped with
