When going out for a meal, franchise restaurants can be a bit boring, and some of Amarillo's more well-known spots can be a bit too expensive. It's always the best feeling when you are left full and satisfied at a reasonable price. Oftentimes, it's the small, local, and relatively unknown food spots that'll leave you with this ecstatic feeling.

Here's a list of Amarillo's underrated gems. If you are in the know about some of these spots, more power to you.

If you blink you'll miss it. Tucked away on the eastern end of the boulevard is Thai Star, a restaurant nearly indistinguishable from a house and hard to find if you are not looking for it. Inside the small house, you'll find a small, family-owned restaurant serving authentic Thai food. You will find some of the cheapest and by far the best Thai food that you have ever tasted. Offering a menu with a relatively basic selection of Thai food, do not let the familiarity of the menu fool you. The portion size and the taste of the food itself will leave you wondering why something is so good.
