Buns Over Texas

This is a great sit down burger joint. The burgers are made fresh and they call your buns up when they are ready. The kids love this and get s kick out of their buns being called up. Then you have the add on bar. You build your burger to suit your desire. They also have Texas tea to choose from in the drink fountain area. I particularly love the peach tea. The kids really like the blueberry tea. They have really fixed the place up and is very nice. The 4 star is for the lack of service. We needed a high chair for my little one and asked where to find it. We were looked at funny. It took them a bit but they helped us eventually. It was not really busy either. But the food was awesome.

Good place. Mediocre burgers, but you get to put your own condiments on. So that is a plus. Reasonably priced. And they have a big variety of different teas. And they are right next to Texas Tea.

A solid all beef burger somewhere between fast food and the upper end burger joints. The tea is fantastic and the service is always good. Place is clean and atmosphere decent. A tad overpriced but so are most things these days.

Before moving to California, I lived here in Amarillo, TX for almost 20 years and would frequent Buns Over Texas. They had great burgers and some of the best onion rings around. After recently returning back to Amarillo from California, we had to have some of the great food we remembered. It was not the same Buns Over Texas we remembered. The last four visits we have eaten here our order either wrong or poorly prepared. The food is not what we remembered it to be. In my opinion after today’s events, customer service is not top priority at this establishment.

This review is for Texas Tea.
Oh Texas Tea, how I love you so. How I wish you were around when i was in high school. I could drink your sweet raspberry tea every day, and I totally would if I lived in the area. My little brother remains faithful to WaterStill, but I love the variety of the tea and the location, as well as the ice. And happy hour.
The last time I went home (over thanksgiving), I went four times in three days. On my last day I took home a half gallon and the guy working was like, «Are you sure you don’t just want a recurring order?» At that point I nearly cried because I WANT A RECURRING ORDER but they can’t ship it halfway across the country. I put a half gallon in my suitcase and checked a bag on an airline that charged me for it, that’s how much I love this tea. I rationed it out over about a week (a tiny glass a day) and that was it.
So that’s the only downside: there is one location. And it is 1500 miles from me. When my boss retires I might look into starting my own Buns Over Texas location. Not in Texas. So I can have these teas whenever I want.

not what it was… service has declined or least today it was terrible … food quality terrible with the beef patties small and over cooked

Okay I’m trying to bring more structure to my reviews, so here goes:
Pros:
— delicious tea bar with 6 or 7 different iced teas! my favorite is the blueberry green tea
–burgers were decent, price ranged around $ 8 for a drink, fries, and burger
–sides were not wilted but super fresh and lots of different things to choose from instead of the usual pickles and lettuce
–also had different choices of buns ex. wheat, white, gluten free
Cons:
–burger was just a little teensy bit dry but otherwise really good
–got our order wrong but fixed it promptly

What can I say? This is our favorite burger place in Amarillo– they know our name and usual order when we walk up to the counter. The new location is very nice and is constantly being cleaned. The tea bar is great. Plenty of room. Service is quick, the only real waiting time is when there is a line clear out to the door. Great Place.

They recently added an iced tea bar with many flavors (it’s not as good as Water Still, but quite good anyway) — hamburgers & cheese fries still delicious though.

They do have decent burgers here, the fixin’ bar is nice and the cheese fries are good. The best part though is when your burger is ready, they announce to the restaurant, «Andrew, your buns are toasty!» or something along those lines. i like that. because they are.
