What a wonderful awesome find. After a 10 hour drive… this was a perfect way to have dinner and enjoy a step back in time off of Route 66. Carina was our helpful kind spirit …. We enjoyed warmed chips n salsa as well as enchiladas and taco n burrito. Omg. The flavor was so good and delicious. The kindness of the staff and me were just so nice. Highly recommend.

Ok if you are driving along I40 west of Amarillo, and you find yourself looking for something to eat like me and my wife did, and you think to yourself I wonder if Del's restaurant is worth getting off of I40. It definitely is worth it. I was so surprised at how good, and how much the food tastes like home cooking. So many restaurants taste like every other restaurant, but not Del's. Food and service was fantastic. I would recommend the steak fingers.

I really like this restaurant. It is a gem located on Route 66, and the place has a lot of history. The food quality is good, but I will not be ordering the meat loaf in the future. It used to be homemade style, but now it is some restaurant supplier pre-made stuff with very little taste. I was very disappointed. My wife ordered liver and onions, and it was great. I always make it a point to visit Del's when traveling through, and will do it again. I just do not recommend the meat loaf. anymore.

Vintage restaurant in a vintage town on old route 66. Del's food, atmosphere, and service was fantastic! We had the Chicken Sopapilla, and Chase's burger with the loaded mac side. Awesome! Great tasting and large helpings. Katie our server was sooo great! Be sure to ask for her!

A definite road-trip-experience restaurant. While the food was good, the service and the charm is what made it so great. We were there for lunch so the prices were great along with it being a ton of food! We got chips and salsa along with a sopapilla as part of our lunch deals, so we left very full! We arrived on December 1st and the whole place was decked out for Christmas! It was a very fun, family-friendly esthetic. The big winner here was Jorge our waiter. Jorge was incredibly attentive, friendly, and personable. We enjoyed our experience primarily due to him and this place gets 5 stars just for him! In short, I wouldn't say this is a foodie's dream stop - it was pretty good, but wasn't anything amazing. However, it was plenty filling at a great price, and the staff and interior made i
