We fire up the pit at dawn so your brisket is tender by lunch. Central Texas–style smoking, Amarillo hospitality, and a whole lot of patience in every bite.
Route 66 Smokehouse was born from a simple belief: if you've got good meat, quality wood, and the time to let it work, the results take care of themselves. We show up before sunrise, load the pits, and let post oak do what it does best.
Located right off Arnot Road in Amarillo, we're a neighborhood smokehouse first — no gimmicks, no shortcuts. Just brisket that yields to the touch, ribs that fall off the bone, and sauce you won't find anywhere else. Come hungry. Leave satisfied.
We rotate specials every Wednesday so there's always something new to try. Ask your server about today's feature.
From the pit master's hands to your table — a peek at the space, the smoke, and the spirit of Route 66.
We're easy to find, hard to leave. Pull up, park, and let us take care of the rest.
Walk-ins are always welcome. For large groups or catering, give us a call ahead so we can make sure the pits are ready for you.
