Calico County Restaurant

Our family stopped here on a whim while passing through Amarillo and we are so glad we did.
After reading reviews we decided to stop for lunch and Calico County did not disappoint.
The staff were friendly and attentive.
The chicken tenders were fantastic with a lovely crispy breading.
Mac & cheese sauce was a bit thinner but delicious nonetheless.
Mashed potatoes were made with real potatoes, no instant here, as evident by the potato skins in them.
Opted for the brown gravy on the mashed potatoes, which was also great.
The freshly baked rolls were wonderful but those homemade mini cinnamon rolls and the chocolate cake were definitely show stoppers.
Highly recommend stopping in for breakfast or lunch.

Reading the reviews we had to try it out.
I would agree the cinnamon rolls and the rolls were yummy to start with.
One order was chicken fried chicken (yum!) with jalapeño gravy on the side(smart move, it was hot), okra (yum) and corn (um, yuck..glorified out of the can).
One ordered pot roast (yum yum), boiled potatoes , and the brócoli rice casserole (yum).
Kids plate was chicken strips (yum) and mashed potatoes (skin was on..
kid is picky.
Was not good for him).
Waitress tried, but really didn’t focus on us.
Jalapeño gravy was hot so had to take the gravy from the kids plate as the waitress didn’t come to check on us till mid meal.
I told her I stole my kids gravy, she didn’t even catch the hint.
It is a good place to eat.
Very clean as well.
To see them pull booths out to clean wasn’t something most restaurants do anymore.

Before the food comes out you receive a basket of warm bread and cinnamon rolls which were delicious.
I had the fried fish with cabbage and mashed potatoes - which were great.
They have a huge menu selection.
The service was good as well.
The fried green tomatoes were well seasoned but should have cooked harder.
