For years I worked security at the Memphis in May BBQ Festival and was blessed enough to have tried some of the best BBQ from across the country and around the world. Tyler's is in the top 5 I have ever eaten in my life. The brisket alone is was smokey, moist heaven. The spice on those fall off the bone ribs, my God. I usually don't like spicy ribs like that, but the balance of flavor made me want more. The biggest surprise was the jalapeño corn. The spice builds as you eat it but the butteriness makes you just not care. Divine. The staff were amazing and got the order fast. Yall are doing God's work. 5 stars isn't enough.

The only reason for the 4 stars was —-it was good actually but the beans and the ribs were too spicy for me. I ate more of his sandwich then my ribs I gave them to him I could only get one down.

We have family and friends who recommended Tyler's Barbeque to us and were pleased to try it while visiting Amarillo. Let me positively affirm the service was fantastic (and very friendly)! The atmosphere was second to none!!! Fun atmosphere, decorations and home town feel. Loved that! The barbecue SAUCE was amazing! Try the jalapeño cream corn. That was good. That's the best of Tyler's. The brisket and pulled pork was very dry and absent the anticipated smoky flavor. The sausage was even overcooked (but this was flavorful). The white bread wasn't even toasted or buttered. I paid more than $23 for a two-meat dinner plate and the portion size was unreasonably small for the price charged (see my photo). Tyler's is way overpriced. It is not worth the money if you are considering a dinner plate.

On drive back from Colorado, had this place on my list to try. It was a late lunch and they had run out of sliced brisket, so went with chopped brisket sandwich, jalapeno cream corn, pork belly bites, and peach cobbler. The service was friendly from everyone working there. I took it to go since I wanted to hike Palo Duro before the sun set. The pork bites are worth it! The jalapeno cream corn had a little kick that was good and the sandwich hit the spot. Peach cobbler was taken home so that I could heat up and eat a la mode.

Tyler's serves some amazing barbecue. Being in Texas, I had to try their brisket and it was super delicious. When we came during lunch hours, there were no beef ribs available so we ended up ordering pork ribs, and they were just as delicious as the brisket. In order to try their beef ribs, we came the next morning right at the open, and got the ribs and a few more slices of brisket. If I said that the brisket was super delicious, the beef ribs were even better. Two thumbs up! This is a must visit place in Amarillo that I strongly recommend.
