It's been over a year in the making, but a new bar and grill will open in Amarillo. After Logan's Roadhouse closed in 2023, the building at 8310 I-40 W sat empty for a couple of years. Finally, we heard the building was purchased, and the rumors spread. First, something about a pizza place, then a steakhouse, and we finally learned it was Boondocks Bar and Grill.

When Does Boondocks Open?

A few weeks ago, Boondocks began the hiring process so they could get the restaurant staffed, trained, and ready to serve the residents of Amarillo and I-40 travelers. According to a new TikTok video, Boondocks Bar and Grill will open on Monday, June 15. Take a quick tour of the restaurant.

The restaurant's Facebook page finally went live, and the website is finally live. The first post on the page was June 8, letting everyone know they were hiring. They are looking for front and back of house staff. You can stop by Boondocks at 8310 I-40 W any day from 9 am - 5 pm to fill out an application.

What's on the Menu at Boondocks?

The menu is posted, and the food sounds delicious. They have your typical appetizer selections along with a whole eggroll section.  They have soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches, steaks, and pizza.  However, one thing that will catch your eye is that they offer protein bowls.  Don't miss their Happy Hour drink specials, Monday - Friday from 4 - 6 pm.

Why Boondocks Could Be a Big Deal for Amarillo

This will be a great addition to Amarillo and I-40, and it is one of the few restaurants in that area that is locally owned. We love supporting our local business owners.

As with any new restaurant, everyone wants to try it, but keep in mind they will be working out the kinks.
