8 BEST OF AMARILLO • AMARILLO.COM/BESTOF

W

elcome to the 16th annual Best of Amarillo magazine! Once again, readers of the Amarillo Globe-News have selected the recipients of the Best of Amarillo award, celebrating businesses, personalities and people who help make this a great place to work, live and play.

We’ve been doing this reader’s choice award longer than any other entity in Amarillo, and we are appreciative of the support received from the voters and winners.

And we are the only competition that delivers all the winners in a first-class publication that you’re holding in your hand!

This edition is more than 120 pages and is the result of months of hard work by our staff to publish the results in an entertaining and informative magazine. It is our hope that you will use it to discover the best that this city has to offer.

Thousands of you cast ballots every year and while many winners are the same, you can never count on winning. This year, we have new winners in several categories.

Being the Best of Amarillo is important to the winners and voters alike. It’s a way for local businesses to gage their performance and for their clients to show support. And it’s not easy to win. You do have to be the best.

For the fourth year, we’re also inducting new members into our Best of Amarillo Hall of Fame. Achieving the Hall of Fame requires the recipients to win the same category 10 times or more.

This year, we honor 11 inductees: Green Chile Willy’s (Best Chicken-fried Steak), Coyote Bluff Cafe (Little Gem and Best-kept Secret), Texas Roadhouse (Overall Restaurant), The Big Texan Steak Ranch and Brewery (Best Place to Take Outof-Towners), Quick Quack Car Wash (Best Car Wash), Lovett Chiropractic (Best Chiropractor), Suddenlink (Best Internet Provider), United Supermarkets (Best Groceries), Tripp’s Harley-Davidson (Best Motorcycle Dealership), Discount Tire (Best Tire Store), and Lee Baker of ABC News (Best TV Sportscaster). Congratulations!

These inductees join more than 40 previous Hall of Famers from the hundreds of categories that comprise the Best of Amarillo.

Also, there are seven Hall of Famers that have won every time in the 16-year history of the Best of Amarillo award: Amarillo National Bank, Amarillo Town Club, Cavender’s, The Donut Stop, “Doppler” Dave Oliver, Parker Boats & Motors, and State Farm Insurance.

This year’s Best of Amarillo event will be held on Thursday, Oct. 28. We are moving the main event to the larger North Exhibit Hall in the Amarillo Civic Center Complex. In order to accommodate our exhibits and attendees, we had to find larger space. Our highly successful “After-Party” is moving to the Heritage Room. This is the third year that we’ve expanded to two parties, and you’ll want to be sure to attend both of them.

The time-honored Best of Amarillo event gives readers and fans the chance to sample cuisine from dozens of restaurants, listen to live music, and learn more about the businesses that are the best at what they do. Our “Superhero” theme this year is sure to be lots of fun, as the winners decorate their booths. We hope many of you will plan to dress up.

As always, you will discover something new, different and enjoyable at the Best of Amarillo event.

For more information, visit our website www.amarillo.com/bestof or find us on Facebook at facebook.com/bestofamarillo.

I want to again especially thank Susie Self, who oversees the voting as well as our annual party, and Michele McAffrey, who edits the magazine. They play a significant role in the success of our program.

Enjoy the magazine and we look forward to seeing you on Oct. 28!

2017 INDUCTEES

T

en years is a long time to do much of anything, especially when it comes to dominating a particular Best of Amarillo category. But that’s exactly what our Best of Amarillo Hall of Fame recognizes: the businesses, restaurants, personalities and community institutions that have been voted to the top of a category for at least 10 years.

That’s a big deal, especially for a competition that has only existed for the past 16 years. Some

of these winners have topped their category for 10 years straight – an even more impressive stat given the rapid pace of change in Amarillo and the rise in competition. So for 2017, we are honored to induct 11 new members into one of Amarillo’s most exclusive clubs. This year’s inductees include a sportscaster (Lee Baker), a chiropractor (Brock Lovett), a “secret” burger joint (Coyote Bluff), and a legendary restaurant that’s no secret at all (The Big Texan Steak Ranch and Brewery). Congratulations!

RESTAURANTS Creation and refinement take work. And sometimes work is hard. But effort brings rewards. Just like the temporary inconvenience of Amarillo road and building construction will soon pay off in growth, the hard work of opening a restaurant – if you do it right – can result in a passionate, loyal customer base. Some of the restaurants mentioned here have been in business for decades. Others just opened a year or two ago. But all have one thing in common: They put in the effort of serving a quality product and keeping customers happy, day after day after day.

CATERING: Sharky’s Burrito Company BARBECUE: Tyler’s Barbeque Don’t be surprised if you arrive late to Tyler’s and discover that your favorite smoked meats have sold out. Tyler’s may not have the lengthy history of some local barbecue dives, but it’s been long enough to earn a reputation for the best barbecue in the Panhandle – if not the state. (There’s a reason Texas Monthly named it one of Texas’ 50 best barbecue joints in 2017.) You’re likely to find proprietor Tyler Frazer himself operating the cash register.

BAKED GOODS: Belmar Bakery & Cafe With more than 50 years as a hand-made bakery, Richard and Deanna Zaccardo’s Belmar Bakery & Cafe is well-deserving of this top slot in a very competitive category. The retail bakery is the largest in the Panhandle, offering more than 100 different items on a daily basis. The customdecorated cakes at its Cake Land section are among the best in town. Its pastries are available in several local coffee shops. And the cafe is quickly becoming one of Amarillo’s favorite hidden gems for breakfast and lunch. Business at Belmar is sweet indeed. 3325 Bell St., 355.0141, belmarbakery.com Favorites: The Ruffled Cup Cupcakery & Sweet Shoppe 3440 Bell St., Suite 130, 318.3961, theruffledcup.com Ms. Piggy’s Custom Bake Shoppe & Cookie Bokay 6030 SW 33rd Ave., 353.9983, mspiggyscustombakeshoppeandcookiebokays.com

CHEAP EATS: Chick-fil-A Do Panhandle people make day trips into Amarillo just to have Chick-fil-A? Yes. Do relatives visiting from out of town head to Chick-fil-A first before arriving at your house? Yes. Is there a healthy competition about whether it’s the nuggets or sandwiches or lemonade or waffle fries that keep the drive-thrus humming and the lines out the door? Yes. Are we taking sides? No. But now we’re hungry.

This locally owned Amarillo mainstay gives our readers plenty of options, from the amorous dimmed lights to a wine list that has earned multiple Best of Award of Excellence honors from Wine Spectator.

COCKTAIL HOUR: Joe Taco Located near the medical center, Joe Taco is Amarillo’s favorite place to unwind after a long day. Its Happy Hour prices are some of the best in the city, and on warm fall evenings this canteen’s outdoor patio and live music make it the place to be on Amarillo’s west side. The margaritas are perfect, the beer is cold, and the daily drink specials always satisfy. The weekends are even better, with Happy Hour pricing that lasts all day long.

DOUGHNUTS: The Donut Stop People who have grown up in Amarillo and then move away always come back and tell us they don’t miss the wind or the occasional feedlot smell, but they really miss Donut Stop.

Dating back to 1974, this homegrown business sent its Krispy Kreme challenger packing more than a decade ago, and continues to outlast the fun flavors at Benjamin’s or the corporate clout of Dunkin.

FOUNTAIN DRINKS: Sonic Drive-In “Wait,” they’ll ask. “Aren’t one place’s fountain drinks just the same as any other place’s fountain drinks? A Dr. Pepper is a Dr. Pepper, right?” You’ll look at them, pat them on the shoulder, and then drop some much-needed knowledge. See, there are highly important variables, like the syrupand-carbonation mix or the available flavor additions. But mostly it’s the shape and texture of the ice. Sonic has amazingly soft, wonderfully crushable ice pellets. Crunching them is so satisfying. Seriously, Sonic ice is the very, very best. Now you know.

MARGARITA: Abuelo’s Everyone in Amarillo has a definite opinion when it comes to who makes the best local margarita. The past couple of years, that honor has belonged to Abuelo’s, a Texas-based chain with 39 restaurants in 13 states – the first location of which actually started in Amarillo in 1989. From its top-selling hand-shaken margarita to its traditional agave margarita and upscale platinum marg, Abuelo’s has a variety of boozy, citrusy options. ¡Tequila!

NEWBIE: Bubba’s 33 Amarillo diners get excited about new restaurants. Almost every restaurant of any size – locally owned or franchised – benefits from a honeymoon period that brings heavy traffic and lines out the door. This year, locals brought that excitement to Bubba’s 33, a “sports restaurant” (don’t call it a “sports bar”) created by the folks behind Texas Roadhouse. Diners love its 60-plus TVs, 18 beers on tap, and a bacon burger made from a combo beef-and-bacon-grind patty. 2813 I-40 West, 353.0033, bubbas33.com Favorites: Girasol Cafe & Bakery 3201 S.

OUTDOOR DINING: Joe Taco If you like live music, an all-weekend-long Happy Hour, summer breezes, and modern Tex-Mex in a casual setting, you’ve probably enjoyed an evening or two out on the Joe Taco patio. Despite its popularity on late summer and warm fall evenings, the service here is always timely. And the chips and salsa are bottomless. Best of all, Joe Taco is locally owned by Panhandle Restaurant Group, the folks behind Best of Amarillo winner Macaroni Joe’s and Joe Daddy’s.

PLACE TO TAKE OUT-OF-TOWNERS: The Big Texan Steak Ranch Big Texan owners Bobby and Danny Lee know their legendary establishment isn’t the first choice when locals crave a juicy steak. They know their dining room is more kitsch than authentic Texas. But they also know it represents everything visitors to the city want Amarillo to be: big steaks, big hats, big-time western flavor. Plus, the steaks and beer at the familyowned Big Texan really are as good as what you’d find anywhere else. That’s why Amarillo doesn’t hesitate to bring out-of-towners here: There’s no chance anyone will be disappointed.

SALSA: Abuelo’s With so many excellent Tex-Mex and Mexican food joints in and around the city limits, the choice of where to go sometimes comes down to what kind of salsa you’re in the mood for. Chunky?

Spicy? Smoky? Verde? Finely chopped and tomato-ey? When Amarilloans simply can’t decide, they choose Abuelo’s, which offers all those things. Its alwaysdelicious tableside salsa comes in three varieties, including a green tomatillobased dip and a smoky, spicy option.

TEA: Texas Tea Premium Water & Ice First there were the Doughnut Wars. Then came the Coffee Wars. Today? Local residents are picking sides in the Amarillo Tea Wars, and the competition is, well, steep. Our winner, Texas Tea, has become a daily stop for thirsty locals during its 2 to 4 p.m. Happy Hour. Its three locations – a standalone shop at Wolflin and Georgia, one connected to Buns Over Texas at 34th and Bell, and a downtown storefront on 10th Avenue – are constantly busy, thanks to a total of 18 refreshing flavors. Pro tip: Try the sweet peach ginger green or the sweet coconut.

When founder Bob Lee opened the first incarnation of this now-legendary restaurant, he put his biggest table right in front of the grill. Then he reserved it for hungry cowboys coming in from the stockyards. Those rowdy cowboys ate big and drank bigger, putting on a show for everyone else. The Big Texan has been putting on its cowboy show ever since, from the decor to the gift shop to the legendary 72-ounce steak. There’s a reason travelers literally come from all over the world to eat here.

Remove one and you’ll be left with a hole in the wall – and a less stable building. Brick by brick, these local businesses are meeting particular needs across the city, from keeping vehicles clean to keeping people healthy. Each one has its place. Each one makes the city stronger.

AUTO SERVICE DEPARTMENT: Street Toyota Toyotas are notoriously reliable cars, but that hasn’t kept Street Toyota from being a long-time winner in this category. This veteran Amarillo dealership dominates the Auto Service Department category due to the professionalism and overall excellence shown by its service and repair experts.

CAR WASH: Quick Quack Car Wash The abundant Amarillo rain in August meant you could get a regular car wash just by parking outside. But moisture isn’t always reliable, so Amarillo drivers turn to Quick Quack. Why? It’s likely some combination of the convenient three-minute wash speed, the no-questions-asked “clean car guarantee,” and the big, yellow mascot.

Who wouldn’t trust a giant rubber ducky?

LAW FIRM: Underwood We could open with a lawyer joke about the difficulty of getting people to identify a favorite law firm. But that would be dishonest. Around here, the law plays a big role in people’s lives – from real estate to business to agriculture – and locals are opinionated about which attorneys they love. As in previous years, the jury rules for Underwood. This practice has been serving Amarillo since 1912 and has offices in Amarillo, Fort Worth, Plano, Hereford, Lubbock and Pampa. Earlier this year, U.S. News & World Report named Underwood to its national Best Law Firms list. 500 S. Taylor St., Suite 1200, LB233, 376.5613, uwlaw.com Favorites: Sprouse Shrader Smith 701 S.

PLACE TO SWEAT: Amarillo Town Club During the summer, the best places to sweat in Amarillo are pretty much anywhere in the sunshine.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Adair Photography Portrait photography is a competitive business in Amarillo, especially now that fall has arrived. Moms and dads are looking for someone to capture their family amid the fall colors, or their high school senior as he or she embarks on a new stage of life. Couples want someone to document their engagement or winter wedding. A “favorite” last year, Adair Photography flashes into first place for 2017. Adair owners Amanda Hale and Liz Gray work hard to make sure each portrait session is personal – and that the final results are priceless. 7649 Canyon Drive, 359.4504, adairphotography.net Favorites: Davy Knapp Fine Portraiture 1703 S.

SIDING COMPANY: Hartman Exteriors Steel or vinyl siding takes away the constant need to paint or stain wood exteriors. But when homeowners make the decision to install it, they’re not just thinking about longevity and convenience.

They’re also thinking about appearance: When done right, siding makes a house look good. That’s why local homeowners rely upon Hartman Exteriors. Along with roofing, skylights, windows and more, Hartman has built a long-standing reputation for its superior customer service.

SHOPPING

A city’s retail environment is an essential part of its financial health.

Shopping opportunities turn Amarillo into a destination for residents in every county of the Panhandle, and consumer spending plays a huge part in the local economy. In a time when you can buy practically everything from Amazon, locals still don’t mind heading to a brick-and-mortar location. It supports local business owners, helps improve job growth, and increases the local quality of life. Whether in the market for motorcycles or browsing for boats, these are Amarillo’s favorites.

CHILDREN’S CLOTHING: Once Upon a Child Why do Amarillo families prefer to shop for children’s clothing at the consignment Once Upon a Child?

Part of it may be the treasure-hunting element. With new inventory arriving daily, you just never know what you’ll find. But our guess is that it’s the prices that bring parents back again and again. For something your child will grow out of after just a few months, the gently used clothing at Once Upon a Child becomes a fantastic deal. 3440 Bell St., 354.0071, onceuponachildamarillo.com Favorites: Carter’s 2804 Soncy Road, 358.0501, carters.com Janey’s at 2500 2500 Paramount Blvd., 359.4156, janeys.com

FURNITURE: Buzula Furniture Outlet Buying furniture is always a tricky endeavor. You only know you like it if you can sit on it, draping yourself over the cushions just like at home. But it’s tough to do that in a retail environment, especially with overeager salespeople closely tracking your movements.

Thankfully, those salespeople at Buzula are low-key – around when you need them but not at all pushy. The prices are great, too. That combination of service and value sends Buzula to the top of the wood-and-upholstery heap.

LOCAL MEN’S SHOES: Raffkind’s Clothiers Raffkind’s is a local legend, a clothing store dating all the way back to 1910, after founder Eli Raffkind came to Amarillo from Russia. The business stayed in the family until 2016, when long-time employees David Allee, Adrea Pearson, and Chad Westenburg bought it from George Raffkind. As in the best business transitions, very little has changed. With attentive service and experienced styling, Raffkind’s continues to outfit discerning men – and their feet – with brands including Donald J. Pliner, Johnston Murphy, Olukai and Ugg. 2205 Georgia St., 352.3033, raffkinds.com Favorites: Randy’s Shoes 2636 Wolflin Ave., 353.2404, randysshoes.com Top Notch Outfitters 2617 Wolflin Ave., 353.9468, topnotchoutfitters.net

LOCAL PATIO ACCESSORIES: The Patio Shop – Fireplace Center Everyone’s talking about outdoor living spaces these days. On the home-and-garden shows, it’s all “oasis this” and “weather-resistant wicker that” and you wonder if all these people have ever heard of mosquitoes and, well, the month of July. But certain months out of the year can be wonderful from Amarillo’s porches, patios and backyards, and The Patio Shop – Fireplace Center is where locals get all the fun accessories that make a space livable. These include gas grills, planters, lanterns, statues, and even table heaters for fall evenings. 6018 Canyon Drive, 352.2031, fireplacecenter-patioshop.com Favorites: Pete’s Greenhouse 7300 Canyon Drive, 352.1664, petesgreenhouse.com Coulter Gardens & Nursery 4200 Coulter St., 359.7432, coultergardensamarillo.com

LOCAL SPORTS/OUTDOORS: Buck’s Sporting Goods There are plenty of online options for sporting goods these days. There are plenty of big-box corporate options, too. But Amarillo people like to support local businesses, and that’s why Buck’s Sporting Goods is still selling bats, balls, gloves, cleats, ski equipment and uniforms generations after it first opened.

The retail world has changed since then – so has the world of sports – but local ownership and personal service still mean something. 4324 SW 45th Ave., 355.8946 Favorites: Hills Sport Shop 4021 Mockingbird Lane, 355.7224, hillssport.com Get Fit 1911 S. Georgia St., 350.4262, mygetfitplace.com

LOCAL WEDDING REGISTRY: Et Cetera Sure, you could register someplace like Bed, Bath & Beyond or Target. But bridal registry at Et Cetera means the opportunity to build a collection of fine china, MacKenzie Childs accessories, and other delightful housewares that aren’t always available in the big stores. Conveniently, the bridal registry names and items are easily accessible from Et Cetera’s website, making it a snap to purchase those pieces that will help the bride (and groom) create a lovely home.

COMMUNITY

Construction is a process. It doesn’t happen overnight.

You don’t break ground one day and move in the next day. For the past couple of years, this fact has been clear throughout Amarillo. Cranes have risen above downtown for the first time in decades. Main thoroughfares have been shut down and traffic has been diverted from I-40.

Why? Construction. We’re improving this community by building on a foundation that’s already in place.

That foundation includes the people, destinations, events, cultural icons, and businesses that already make Amarillo a great place to live. Here are this year’s best in community winners.

ANCHOR: Andy Justus, KAMR NBC4/ KCIT FOX14 Veteran Amarillo news viewers remember when Andy Justus was just the young sports guy on KAMR NBC4 during the late ’90s. The former Boys Ranch and West Texas A&M University graduate has come a long way since then. Today, he co-anchors three evening news shows with Jackie Kingston while putting in countless hours volunteering with organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters. And somehow, he also finds time for a side-hustle as a real estate agent. Justus wasn’t just born and raised in the neighborhood – he knows Amarillo neighborhoods.

BAR: 7 Grill & Bar Maybe it’s the seven-dollar lunch specials. Maybe it’s the $7.77 beermargarita combo specials. Maybe it’s the seven half-price appetizers available after 10 p.m. Or maybe it’s the all-in commitment to the number seven, which in this case may actually prove to be lucky. Regardless of the reason, this local sports bar makes its first appearance on our list as the best bar in Amarillo, unseating veteran watering holes that conspicuously lack a certain number in their names. Coincidence?

EMPLOYER, MORE THAN 100 EMPLOYEES: United Supermarkets Often a favorite but rarely a winner, United Supermarkets moves to the top of our rankings for Amarillo’s best large employer. Headquartered in Lubbock, this almostlocal business – United was founded by Lubbock’s Snell family but is now owned and operated as a division of Idaho-based Albertsons – operates eight Amarillo locations and one in Canyon. This includes the larger, gourmet Market Street on Georgia and the Amigos concept store near I-40 and Grand. Locally, United is known for its competitive pricing and grocery inventory but mostly for a culture of friendly, go-the-extra-mile employees. For locations go to unitedsupermarkets.com.

GOLF COURSE: Amarillo Country Club The area’s oldest golf course is also its newest, so to speak. Though Amarillo Country Club first opened in 1919, its storied course endured a complete overhaul and redesign a few years ago. The renovation brought members a better practice range, reconstructed greens, and vastly improved the overall playability of the course. When the country club course reopened, ACC staff proclaimed it ought to be considered among the top 25 courses in the state. Based on the votes received for this category, local golfers agree.

SPORTS TEAM: West Texas A&M University Lady Buffs Without a big-time professional franchise nearby – yes, the Cowboys do fall into that category, most years – Amarillo sports fans turn to the next best thing. In a part of the state known for decades of women’s athletics success, the Lady Buffs of WTAMU continue their winning ways at the collegiate level. Since introduced in 1973, the volleyball team has tallied 25 postseason appearances and 19 Lone Star Conference championships. The basketball team reached the Elite Eight in last season’s Division II tournament, and since winning the NCAA Division II national softball championship in 2014, the Lady Buffs have dominated diamonds across the Lone Star Conference.
