All three CFS versions were delicious. All afternoon I've been trying to decide which I like the best. They were all crispy and meaty; no need for a knife. No "weird bites" of fat or grizzle.

The jalapeño sauce/gravy was super good. Not too hot, but a tasty medium kick in the buds. The classic gravy was great! The green chile was fabulous, too. Nothing was greasy. Cannot name my favorite of the three.

I'm rating the mashed potatoes with skins a 5. I'd prefer baked potato.

I've had a lot (and prepared a lot) of CFSs on my life. Chile Willy's is now at the TOP of my list. CFS rate 10.

I want more!!!

Plain and tasty. In the mood for burgers, chicken, chicken fried steak or steak? This is a good place. Though we didn't have steak, what we had was good. The small chicken fried with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies was very good. The bacon cheese burger was a big one - served with chips. The third one in our group had grilled chicken with a baked sweet potato and tossed salad (it was large too). The sweet potato was ''wonderful.'' And dessert? Don't leave without trying the fried pecan pie with ice cream. We shared it. As for the service, the waitress was very patient with us. She had to come back 3 times till we decided (one of us is over 80). Yes, the place is loud. You can BYOB.
The menu is pretty much just beef or chicken. Three of ate for $34 plus tip.

There food is great!!!! There staff is friendly! It can take a bit to get your food sometimes but the place is not that big and obviously does not have a big kitchen with the extra workers to get food out faster so it's understandable! The green chili chicken fried steak is awesome and you should totally try it!

Not bad. Burger didnt wow me at all. Nice work on whole chilies, but otherwise the burger didnt inspire. Beans were good and so is the atmosphere. But better burgers to be found elsewhere.

Amazing!. This place is for real.....I had an amazingly tasty and perfectly cooked 10 oz. ribeye. The waitresses were very personal and friendly and went out of their way to welcome us as out-of-town guests who were trying this place for the first time! She even brought us a free slice of their outstanding fried pecan pie with ice cream for dessert. I will definitely return for another steak on my next visit to Amarillo!!!

New favorite place. My family tried Green Chile Willys this last Saturday for the first time. I can confidently say that this is my new favorite restaurant in all of the Amarillo/Canyon area. I ordered the chicken fried chicken with green chile sauce. This plate came with a side salad, a side of choice (I got loaded mashed potatoes) and a texas toast. When the plate came out I was pleasantly surprised at how large it was and the price was nice too. My plate came out to 10 dollars and some change. My husband ordered a steak and was very pleased with his as well. We will definitely be returning to Green Chile Willy's Grill very soon!

Deep Fried Pecan Pie. Don't know if this is on the menu or just a special, but I would like for it to be on Regular menu. Deep fried Pecan Pie with a scoop of ice cream and drizzled with chocolate. Need I say more? YUM!

GREAT. Best restaurant on the planet !!!!!!!!!!! This place has the best burgers there are. Try them with grilled jalapenos. If you are really hungry get a order of cheese fries they are great and they don't skimp on the cheese.Very reasonable price. BYOB and they will bring you a bucket of ice. I eat there once and some times twice a week. Cat is the best waitress in the place. Writing this makes me hungry I might have to go there tonight.

Very Good!. I had the Jalapeno Chicken Fried Steak and the wife had Sirloin. Food was hot and good, fair price, service was very good and the place was clean. I rate it an 8 over all on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the BEST. We will go back.

Excellent joint. Great food, good staff. Very busy at lunch, don't expect a quick table from 11:30 to 1:00. But it is well worth the wait, the food is terrific, we really enjoyed the jalapeño jack sauce. That stuff would make anything taste great!

Chicken Fried Steak -- YUM. I haven't ever had the chicken fry with the green chili sauce, though I hear GREAT reviews about it. I just enjoy this place because it is affordable, crazy casual (I kind of feel like I'm eating in a barn, not really a bad thing though)... The chicken fry is primo, in my opinion. It competes with the chicken fry at The Village restaurant in Canyon -- WAY back in the day. The staff is always SO friendly. I don't eat here often, but I've never been disappointed and there is usually a wait for a seat.

Excellent. It was my first time here. I have to say that I was really impressed with their food. After having a hard time deciding on what to get, I ordered their sampler platter -- and peach cobbler for dessert. I'll agree with other reviewers that their Jalapeño Jack is the best. The atmosphere is great and the service is even better. Check them out.

Good Burger and Beans. Rode from Lubbock to Amarillo this afternoon to see my best friend. Green Chile Willy's Grill was on my wish list so we ate there. Had the regular cheese burger and a side of beans. Burger was better than anything here in Lubbock (including Blue Sky...don't get me started!). Beans were excellent, and served by attractive, attentive wait staff. We were told to try the steaks next time, and I will.

Got a steak. It was awesome. This place may be hard to get to, but it's worth the trip. Some things are a little on the high side. I don't go here often, but when I do I always leave satisfied.

Jalapeno Chicken Fried Steak is to die for. The food is fantastic. The staff is friendly. It is a little hard to find but you can spot it from i-27 between Canyon and Amarillo IF you are looking for it. Get directions before you head out and save yourself some trouble.

The only things to complain about is that they aren't open on Mondays and can get short staffed sometimes.

Try the Jalapeno Chicken Fried Steak, its amazing!

Run, don't walk, to Green Chile Willy's!. The green chile chicken-fried steak is amazing! Nothing fancy as far as atmosphere, but friendly service and great food. From the pan-fried corn to awesome banana pudding, expect a taste treat. Can get crowded at peak times, be prepared to wait, but the wait is worth it.

Best kept country secret in Amarillo. First off, this is our favorite restaurant in Amarillo for burgers. I do feel they are probably a little pricey on the burgers (and chicken sandwhichs), but it is definitely worth every penny, if you get something you can't get anywhere else. -- Like 'anything' with Green Chilies! -- My favorite is Chicken sandwich (with GC, of course) or GC Bacon Cheeseburger(My favorite!). The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, but can be a little noisey since it's just one big room.

Different is Good. Pretty much the standard fare of the region, but with little twists, like three different varieties of chicken fried steak, chicken dishes which are a little different, and even the delicious Certified Angus Steaks have a unique flavor from the "secret seasonings". Nice place, very clean and good service.

I’m so happy that there is a restaurant that decided a business could be created and successful using the two best ingredients on earth. Ever since I read about Homeroom, I knew I had to try it, and it could not be a long time until that happened. Unfortunately for me, the restaurant was located in San

Both our meals were priced at $11.25, though the menu did claim that all the chicken fried steaks were "Texas sized," and both meals included a salad and one side order. Still, I thought the price a little on the high side. My initial dissatisfaction with that aspect of the visit increased when I found that Texas is not as big in the Panhandle as it is in the rest of the state. I expected a CFS that draped over the sides of a respectable platter; I got one about the size of a dessert plate. Big enough to satisfy the stomach, but not the eyes. I know, I'm better off not having gotten some gigantic slab of breaded meat, but I had kind of been hoping for leftovers for tomorrow's lunch.

Green Chile Willys is a great place for a casual night out. The waitress was amazing and our food came out nice and hot. I loved that the atmosphere of the restaurant allowed for conversation without shouting. The jalapeno jack chicken fried chicken was excellent, but the fried pecan pie was the deal sealer. We'll definitely be back!

We always heard how good it was, so we came for my husband's birthday to try something new and we were impressed. They even have free chicken fried steak on your birthday so that definitely worked out, we didn't even know! Got a small portion of green chili stew and it was delicious. Smaller place but wait for 6 wasn't long at all. Loved the portions, price, and flavor! My chicken fried steak was thicker than my fork width, and great flavor along with green chili mac which I absolutely loved. Our waitress came to ask us if we wanted dessert and I said no until she mentioned FRIED pie!!! I had to try some and mannnn! I was floored. It was EXCELLENT! this will become a regular place of ours.

This place is popular and gets crowded. There's a wait in the evening. And there's a simple reason why. Namely, the Texas comfort classic of chicken fried steak is a vanishing menu item. And when it comes to chicken fried steak, Green Chile Willy's serves one of the best around. We waited for nearly an hour. Fortunately, they have a relatively well cooled waiting room where you can pass the time with others waiting to harden their arteries. After our wait, we both had chicken fried steak with a variety of sides. Our server was warm and friendly -- and also kept our tea refilled. The dinner itself was a perfect specimen. The chicken fried steak was crispy and the cream gravy didn't even need pepper. If you're in Amarillo and craving Texas comfort cooking, this is the place and it's well worth the wait.
