Our menu features steaks and seafood, many different fresh vegetables and steak toppers. Specialties of the house include unique pretzel bread, yummy fried baked potatoes, and Embers own spread. The bacon and sausage appetizer is a crowd pleaser, along with a wonderful and unusual jalapeño cheesecake. Prime rib is extremely popular, as is the halibut.
The environment at Embers is calm and has an ‘out of town’ feel. Just inside the front door stands a three and a half foot tall gold and copper rendering of The Embers ‘flame’ logo. To augment the western feel, genuine cowhide adorns the upper soffit and one cowhide panel hangs on the wall. The comfortable chairs have a leather lattice work back and complete that western flair. The entire restaurant features interesting photos taken of this area and of cowboys here and there. Jennifer found wonderful photos on the Internet taken by Jim Tunelt. She contacted him and used six of his photos that were matted especially for the Embers concept. Each picture is signed by the photographer and has its own story. Jim plans to visit Amarillo and Embers soon.
The up-scale bar boasts a black lacquer rub-through on all the wood and a granite top. A genuine cow skull, created by local artist Trent Gates, lives on a wall in the bar area. It is a real cow skull, its head painted similar to a classic car. It is definitely an eye catcher.
