Ms. Vickie's Soul Food Restaurant: "Southern eatin' on the High Plains" Amarillo Restaurant Tip by der_geograf

Smothered porkchops. Candied yams. Fried chicken. Baked ribs. Cheese meatloaf. Green beans. Corn. Mashed potatoes. Homemade pecan pie, buttermilk pie, chocolate pecan cake.

There's really no need to say more, except that for US$8 per person, you get all you can eat with free drink refills, and attentive service. Ms. Vickie and her staff are excellent hostesses, and they cook the day's meal every morning.

At night, the restaurant converts into a night club, with some blues nights.

Favorite Dish: The cheese meatloaf and all the desserts!
