Coyote Bluff Café — American Burgers, Amarillo
Coyote Bluff Café is Amarillo's fiercely local burger secret. A cash-only dive bar with a kitchen that produces burgers from High Plains beef that the city's residents argue about with the intensity that only genuine quality inspires.
The green chile cheeseburger. The New Mexico influence bleeding east across the Panhandle. Is the signature. Hatch green chile on a properly smashed patty of local beef with American cheese is the combination that Amarillo residents have been driving across town for.
The cash-only policy, the no-frills setting, and the limited hours are not obstacles but qualifications. This is the burger for people who know what they're doing, not the tourist steakhouse.
The cold Lone Star Beer served alongside. The correct Texas lager at the correct temperature. Completes the experience that the Panhandle's dining culture produces at its most honest.
Best Occasion: Perfect for Solo Dining
Cash only, green chile cheeseburger, cold Lone Star, and the Amarillo regulars at adjacent barstools. Solo dining's most authentically Panhandle experience.
Best Occasion: Works for Team Dinners
The cash-only dive bar produces the team dinner that everyone talks about. The burgers are the point; the atmosphere provides the rest.
