    Not the usual experience at Macaroni Joe's. Good service, drinks, salads and side dishes but the steaks were dry, tasteless, over cooked and overlooked (I don't think Nolan Ryan would be pleased). Even the favorite chocolate "Demise" dessert was dry and hard, having been in the fridge too long. Will wait a while before we return to what has been a favorite establishment.

    We were seated in the “rock room” and I wish I could have remembered our servers name, but he was hands down the absolute best server I have ever had! He was very attentive, demonstrated the best manners & respect… and he was young “kid” but definitely mature beyond his years! Oh and the food was amazing! Sea bass, never disappoints at Mac Joes!

    Macaroni Joe's allows you time to sit and be quiet. They help you figure out good wines and food. And they manage to have a nice ambience with lighting that I might like just a little brighter. But overall a wonderful place to have quite relaxing dinner in the evening after a long week.

    We have been here several times before and the service and food were both excellent, but not this time. We were seated promptly and the server came over and took our drink order and dinner choices. One of our salads showed up before our drink order and we both ordered salads. Then a manager tried to bring us the wrong drink order and it was only one drink. Then we asked where our drinks were and she just walked away. Then our server brought food to the table next to us And said the other salad will be right out, well after 10 minutes the other salad finally arrived and so did our drinks. The dinner was very good though but probably will not be back . Not what I expect for over a $100.00 meal.

    Macaroni Joe'sResponded on August 13, 2023

    Good evening, I was the manager you spoke with. While I am sorry for the salad mix-up, I did respond to you before walking away to fix the problem. I informed you that they were working on your second salad while bringing you your Miller Lite in a cold glass. You told me you wanted bottles, which I then brought with the second salad within 3 minutes. We amended the issue by correctly timing your entrees. Regards, Caitlan

    The food is excellent here, although a bit expensive. I do appreciate the kids meals being affordable. The blackened bayou with catfish was excellent but be careful if you can't handle heavy Cajun spices. They have 3 gluten free pasta options now: tortellini, penne and zoodles. Probably 80% of the menu can be made GF which is awesome.

    My wife and I were celebrating are marriage. I had flowers sent to Macaroni Joe’s earlier in the day. My wife had never been to Macaroni Joe’s and was so impressed with ambiance of the restaurant Marlene walk us to our table and in a cozy corner was our table with the roses I had sent earlier. My wife and I enjoyed the the Calamari and our entree was most excellent and the wine was superb.Our server Cade was great in making sure we had the best experience. We asked for the desert menu and to our surprise we were able to enjoy Tiramisu for our desert. We really enjoyed our special occasion and on the way home my wife suggested we have at least two date nights at Macaroni Joe’s every month. I agreed. If you are in Amarillo Texas make sure you don’t miss this exceptional restaurant.

    Food as fabulous as always, unfortunately it took an hour for our dinner to arrive! Our waiter kept bringing us bread, 3 times, until we asked why it was taking so long! Manager came to our table to apologize and shortly afterward our meal came! Our ticket was discounted . It just must have been an unusual evening.

    Food was excellent as always. James, our waiter was probably one of the best waiters that we have had at any restaurant and that includes cities like Vegas and Dallas. He was so informative and could tell he loved his job and was by far the stand out for us. Will definitely be back and request to be seated in his area again.

    If you get a chance to dine for Fathers Day order the special Alaskan salmon! The food was outstanding. It is always good, but this weekend was a step above. As good as anything I have had in Italy, France, NY, SF. Such a treat. The service was excellent and my daughter’s filet outstanding! Thank you Macaroni Joes!
