Gooney's — Restaurant in Amarillo

Where do I start? How do I start? This place doesn’t deserve any rating. Service is not even to basic standard.

We were here on our way to dallas from ABQ. Based on the reviews we wanted to try the fusion food. We went in around 8:30pm

We ordered Mango Cart for myself and Drunken Noodles for kids (No spice level) Curry Chicken with Fried Rice and Lo mein.

While we waited for food, my SO ordered a Ginger cocktail. Waitress forgot about it. We had to remind her and she did not even remember what we ordered.

They were so busy they had only 2 other tables to handle. Other waitress with glasses is on phone or her back turned against the tables.

Cocktail was way too sweet and was not worth the 15$. The price is not even listed on menu.

We got our first food item at 9:15pm, 45 mins after we got in and ordered. Waitress said they were busy with take out, I guess people spending time to visit restaurant are not important. Couple more mins and we were ready to pay for drinks and walkout.

Curry Chicken came first and rice came after 2-3 mins and waitress did not even think about giving us knives when I order chicken which needs knives and took us a while to get her attention as she had her backs turned towards the wall.

Lo mein was made with Ramen noodles.

One more thing to note here, the chef keeps walking out of kitchen with food and doesn’t even wear and hair net, so dont be alarmed if you find hair in your food

If you value your time and mental peace, dont...

Called ahead to verify if they were open since hours of operation have been random. Was told they were open by person who answered the phone. We make the drive there only to be told that they would not wait on us until they waited on a twenty top that was coming in. . . THE COMPLETE PARTY WAS NOT EVEN THERE. So we waited confused by the door as we did not know where we could sit. Another family walks in with two small children and are told the same. They asked if they could at least put in orders for their Littles and were told no. The family was told that it would be at least an hour before they could wait on them. After hearing this, our party of 5 turned around and walked out.

If the location is taking small parties, they should close to the public or at least let people know on the phobe who call that there may be a wait. This experience was horrible and we have no intentions to return. We drove to Young Sushi Rocks down the road and are now enjoying a...

I have been driving through Amarillo for years and it just seemed odd to me that the food I'd eaten in this city was always so unimpressive. Granted, I'd never deviated too far off of I40 and I haven't gone to the Big Texan yet. Well, this trip we went downtown and had Gooney's.... OH, MY, GOWD... The city is now redeemed as a spot for food adventure! Asian fusion, genius and just a hint of madness makes for a great eating experience. Bulgogi, Fried Rice, Steak, Kimchi and salads were all stunningly good. I could have had just those things and still rated the a 5...but... The Butter Chicken Sandwich is some next level, outlandish, crack-addiction sort of good. I have never in all of my 53 years, EVER, had a chicken sandwich that tasted that good.... N.E.V.E.R.. my business in the west was unpleasant and I told myself that it would be a long while before I went back. This sandwich literally has me trying to make an excuse to get back that way. It is just...
