“ Still the best Frito Pie (the 1/2 size is plenty for one hungry person) I’ve had! Fast and friendly service, always a great experience! Every time I’m in town I make an effort to get one! ”
“ The food is phenomenal! Great menu, no wait for the food, perfect topping bar. The owner was super nice and hospitable. We enjoyed a frito pie and combination rib plate. ”
“ Wow. It is soooo good. Larry is the nicest guy in Amarillo. It was our first time and was extremely accommodating and helped us decide on what to get. ”
“ This is some great bbq and one of the friendliest business owners you will ever meet. If you are hungry get the frito pie full moose (covered in brisket) today I got the 3 meat Adkins plate that comes with cole slaw. The sausage is unlike any other I've had at any BBQ restaurant anywhere. ”
“ I wanted to thank Crazy Larry's for treating me like a human . I'm homeless and stayed the night behind his restaurant. Instead of calling cops on me , he woke me up with a smile on his face and asked me kindly if I could move before he opened. I've never ate his food before but if he puts the kindness and love in it like he does to a complete stranger it's is most likely the best food you'll ever eat. Thank you so much Larry god bless you ”
“ Amazing BBQ! The owners Larry & Jen have been been doing this 23 years, and they are still up front, took my order, came by the table to check in, fantastic service. The food was excellent, not just the BBQ but the sides were also great. You can feel the love for the food they make. I travel for work, quite a bit in Texas, I have had BBQ in every town I go, over the whole US has to be 100 different spots. I would say Crazy Larry & Jens is my favourite spot to date, Highly recommended! ”
“ Crazy Larry's is crazy good! The brisket sandwich my wife got was flavorful and moist! I got the full order of the Crazy Frito Pie which includes chopped brisket, beans, cheese, and their delicious warm BBQ sauce. I also made it a moose(added chili) and put jalapenos and onions on it! The flavor was dynamite! I never a Frito pie could be this good! The service was excellent as well! If you're ever in Amarillo add this to your dining list! ”
