GoldenLight Cafe & Cantina

After selling our home in Houston, We travel USA FULL-TIME IN a motorhome.
This great little "Hidden Gem" of a burger joint / dive Bar Did NOT Disappoint!! Truly In MHO... ONE OF THE BEST BURGERS & FRIES WE HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!!
THE "FIXINGS" WERE INCREDIBLY FRESH, BEAUTIFUL & DELICIOUS (BRIGHT RED TOMATOES... NOT pale pink tomatoes with no flavor:)!! YEA!!
IF U R EVER IN AMARILLO... DO NOT MISS YOUR CHANCE TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT....if u miss an opportunity to eat here, all I can say is:
"BLESS YOUR HEART"!!!

Really good experience!

Oldest restaurant in Amarillo according to their menu. Still in its original location since the glory days of Route 66! The atmosphere is amazing. Really classic, very American style cafe/diner. The folks there were friendly and the food was great.

It’s relatively small, so don’t be bummed if you have to wait for a table. The food is NOT FAST (and that’s perfectly fine). For reference, a burger took between 20-25 minutes but it was worth the wait. And it was pretty rushed so I don’t blame them.

The few drawbacks: my order of fries and chili got to me way after I was done with my burger. They must have missed it. Can’t blame them, it was pretty packed. Understandable, but unpleasant nonetheless.

I wasn’t a fan of the chili, but hey, that is not an instant DQ. Different strokes for different folks. What was IMO unanimously GREAT was the burger! I had the Waller Burger. The fries were a bit on the flimsy side but very hot, tasty and not soggy either.

They close at 22:00 but by 21:00 they will not let more people in, so keep that in mind.

Great food, good atmosphere and sweet southern hospitality. Will return!

This little unassuming, no frills, hole in the wall knocked it out of the park. Definitely have to come hungry I had a Buffalo burger and wow!, the flavor was off the chart and portions ridiculous! Added a side of cheese fries and cup of chili (which i had to take to go). Leaving satisfied and satiated on several levels! Looking forward to our next visit!

What a great place. Very local and completely worth stopping for. If you like dive bar style with an awesome vibe and great food, this is your spot.
The food was very good, reasonable prices, great service and fun atmosphere.

May not look like much, but this a MUST stop if you’re in the area. Customer service was great, prices were reasonable, good portion sizes, and amazing taste. It’s easy to see how they’ve been in business so long. Hope to visit again soon!
