A good, if not great, alternative to most Chinese "fast-food" type restaurants. Cathy's does at least print valuable health information for each item on the menu. Not much new here, but Cathy's will do in a bind. The location on Royal Lane had better food but it no longer exists.

Every type of bagel (and cream cheese) under the sun is available at the Bagel Place. The real stadnouts to me are the breakfast bagerls with eggs and sausage. Friendly staff and an almost always busy store make for a great place to be seen in your pajamas on a Saturday morning.

Oh do I miss this place since I left Amarillo. The food is solid and the prices reasonable. Go for the big burrito!

The best lunch in Amarillo and by far the best Japanese restaurant. The food is nothing less than great and considering the choices in Amarillo, outstanding. Lunch specials are always reasonably priced and while the food and menu do not change that much from visit to visit, the experience is wonderful. Nice ambience for a West Texas restaurant and considering that it is surrounded by a terrible Red Lobster and Benningans, it is the best that I-40 has to offer.

By all accounts the fare at this restaurant is basically trumped up frozen Mexican dinners at four times the price. Bland enchiladas with dry tortillas, cold and stale tamales covered the $15 special. Efforts to spice up the traditional Mexican side dishes with including flaked mashed potatoes instead of the traditional Spanish rice fell flat as well. Considering the place is always packed, the liquor must flow freely for the food left much to be desired. Other notables, were sparce chips and salsa dishes and laskluster service. For the price, you are better off with Taco Bell.

By far the best and most inventive Itallian "chain" restaurant. The dishes are all excellent and the bread and olive oil make a great appetizer (as does the calimari). Personal faves are the pork chops and the chicken parmesean. The restaurants are usually crowded on the weekends, however seating moves quickly. The only annoyance is the usual house "singer" that you have to awkwardly not make eye contact with. The house wines are surprisingly good. Would choose this over the terrible Olive Garden any day of the week.

Better than average barbecue which is usually hit or miss. Try the dry ribs for a variation on the typical. The lunch menu is reasonably priced and the sandwhiches are sure to fill the biggest appetite. The standout is the sausage. RHandB uses Earl Campbell's sausage and it is by far the best tasting pork product you will ever put into your mouth. The Nanner (banana) pudding and black berry cobbler with ice cream are the dessert faves. Also this restaurant has gigantic ice tea glasses which are a huge plus!

Back in the late Eighties, Bennigans used to be one of the better restaurants around, however all of that changes when they tried to move to more of a sports bar setting. The menu and food quality declined rapidly as did the service. Several of the Dallas locations have closed in the past year and there is no wonder as to why. When you can get better food at TGI Fridays, you know your restaurant is in trouble. Avoid this place at all costs, unless of course you like terrible food at high prices or you really want your name on the wall for drinking the 200 beers around the world.

By far the best Chinese fare in Dallas, PF Changs offers an incredible array of favorites. No visit would be complete without starting out with the lettuce wraps (and possible some Won-Ton soup). The Mongolian Beef is not to be missed and the spicy chicken with eggplant is excellent. Brown and white rice are available. Great atmosphere and reasonable prices make this one of our favorite places. Get there early or eat there for lunch as the wait can sometimes be long.
A PF Changs is opening in the Aladdin Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

An excellent place for Chinese in the village. Cheap, fast, and a ton of food, makes this little hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant (located right next door to Condoms-to-Go) a personal favorite. Steamed or fried rice available with all entrees and huge drink glasses are both pluses. A wide selection is available however I usually stick with the Sesame Chicken. Delivery is prompt, however the place usually has a football game on its giant 19 inch TV. Friendly service make up for the lack of atmosphere.

Particularly below average Chinese buffet. The menu never changes and is particularly bland. Szechwan Pavilion is good for a lunch pinch, however keep your expectations low. The fish in the front have some disturbing tumors. You might want to go to El Arroyo (which is right next door) instead.

Uncle Julio's can lay claim to the absolute best fajitas in town. One of the best mexican food places in town offers plentiful baskets of chips, an unusual salsa, and an abundant menu of tasty, filling dishes. The lunch menu items have recently been added to the main menu, which offers plates below the $10 threshold (which is nice). Service is hit or miss but usually pretty good. The wait can be long on the weekends. Try the Sunday brunch at 11:30, it is truly a great way to start the day.

Boasting as the home of the margarita, Mariano's is OK at best. The food is always good, the best item is the fajitas in my opinion, however slightly overpriced. The atmosphere is nice, although the place is somewhat hard to find. The price is the main drawback to a nice restaurant. Uncle Julio's offers better fare at competitive prices and is just down the street.

If you are drunk and hungry, this is the best place to go for Mexican food. The Super Nachos will cure any hangover. Excellent for breakfast after a hard night of drinking as well. And to keep with the drinking theme, Cabana offers the best (and cheapest) margaritas in town. Nothing compares the TCs of San Antone though, those are truly amazing. Try a dozen tortillas and a side of queso or refried beans as a snack.

Taco Diner used to be much better when it first opened. The tacos were ordered individually and the atmosphere was open for sharing. Since the menu has changed, the quality of the restaurant has deteriorated as well and while the food is still good better can be had for the price. Taco Diner is not too different than the Mi Cocina's that can be found scattered about. The interior is a little more modern but the food is basically nothing to shout about.

The best pizza in Dallas (or a close tie with Lover's Pizza). The cheese is piled on in abundance and the toppings are top notch. The restaurant itself leave much to be desired. It is usually crowded and the location is small but the pizza is top notch. You will not be disappointed.

The best pizza buffet in town for one reason and one reason only . . . the pepperoni rolls. The salad bar is usually bare and the pizza itself is mainly middle of the road but the pepperoni rolls are to die for. Be prepared to fight however as there are rarely enough made for the buffet and they go quick. I have seen more than my share of scuffles over the last roll. Also the apple treats standout as a good cleanser for the palette.

For cheap, fast pizza, Pizza Patron is by far the best location in town. Can easily feed a starving family on a low budget. Pizza's average cost is about 6 dollars a piece and the quality is exceptionally high. Great topping selection and an excellent thin crust that fits into any budget.
