Restaurants in the Amarillo area are able to open to 25% capacity. Some restaurants have decided to open under these guidelines, while others have kept their dining rooms closed, but are operating with take-out and delivery. The Amarillo Chamber of Commerce and Amarillo Convention & Visitor Council has worked diligently to create a comprehensive list of restaurants and the various ways they are still serving their delicious food. This list will be available on our website at www.VisitAmarillo.com/restaurants.

We are beginning to spend time back in our office, but are still working from home part of the time. Please do not hesitate to reach out, we are still available to you!
