Pan-Handlers Cafe, nestled in the National Bank Plaza of Amarillo, Texas, is quickly gaining a reputation as a must-visit American restaurant. With its unique location in a bank's basement, diners are pleasantly surprised to discover a vibrant eatery offering a variety of delicious comfort foods. Patrons rave about the Philly cheesesteak and the club sandwich, both receiving perfect scores for flavor and presentation.

The salad bar is a standout feature, packed with fresh, nutrient-dense options, although a few reviews suggest adding cucumbers for extra crunch. The AYCE soup and salad option at $14 provides excellent value, drawing frequent praise for its homey ambiance and friendly service. One visitor described a rich broccoli cheese soup that evokes the essence of a pizza in soup form—comforting and delightful.

With menu items priced reasonably between $6 and $10 for sandwiches, and house-baked treats like banana pudding and chocolate chip cookies rounding out the experience, Pan-Handlers Cafe earns a standing ovation from guests. For anyone seeking a hearty meal with a welcoming atmosphere, this cafe comes highly recommended.

It was our first time here and everything was delicious, I got the Philly and my wife got a club sandwich and they were both a solid 10/10. Salad bar is excellent, but could use cucumber! Prices aren't bad either! Most sandwiches are around 8-10 for a whole or 6 for a half. Soup and Salad bar is 14 for AYCE. 10/10 recommend! The restaurant is inside the bank!

We were on our way to Palo Duro Canyon for a 3 night stay. Stopped here for lunch . The cafe is located in the basement of the Amarillo National Bank. We were warmly welcomed by the hostess. My wife got a small salad bar plate and a cup of broccoli cheese soup, I got a Rueben Sandwich. All delicious. Sampled the Pizza Supreme soup, it tasted like a pizza without the crust - delicious. Had a house baked chocolate chip cookie for dessert. We highly recommend the Pan-Handlers Cafe.

Visiting from Austin, and this is my second time to visit this week for lunch. I’ve had the California burger, which was too die for & today I had Liv’s turkey sandwich.. also very tasty. The waitress is ultra friendly and make you feel at home.

The best-kept secret in town! We love this place! The professor, the Goudie and the club are all favorites. (also, gf bread options) We love their house made chips and the fries are crispy-delicious. Also, IT’s the best salad bar in town!!! That kale salad and those roasted brussels sprouts-yum! The service is always quick and super friendly. It’s a funny location-in the basement of a local bank but DO NOT let that deter you! They are open for lunch only during bank hours, so keep that in mind when planning your visit! The prices are very reasonable especially considering the high quality food they serve. Don’t miss this clean, cute, delicious little lunch spot!!!

Such a delightful find in the basement of a bank! Stopped on our way to CO and had the best Reuben sandwich we’ve ever had. Hostess was so friendly and welcoming, we’ll be back!
