CALICO COUNTY – AMARILLO, TX., JULY 2012
On our return trip to Austin from Colorado, we once again stopped in Amarillo for the night. A special friend from college recommended we try Calico Country for dinner for some good homestyle cooking. The menu is extensive and includes several home cookin’ favorites.
The meal started with a bread basket, which included two types of rolls. Yes, you are looking at cinnamon rolls in this picture. Not the usual pre-dinner carb, but too hard to resist! Yum!!
Here are the entrees we ordered – many of them come with a “lite” (aka smaller portion) option.
Nick and Ben both ordered Chicken Fried options – Nick got the sandwich version pictured here:
Marc had the Hawaiian Ham Steak with green beans and carrots
I ordered the pot roast with potatoes and pinto beans (my all-time favorite “bean”). No, I did not finish all the food on my plate. Turns out they accidentally gave me a REGULAR portion instead of the “lite”.
Everyone at the table agreed that the food was good; nothing earth shattering, just good, old home-style cookin’. Now we have not one, but TWO new spots to eat when we are traveling through Amarillo – yeah!!
PS – See our earlier post for our Mexican food excursion in the “Helium Capital of the World”.
