It was an absolute pleasure stopping by Shelby's Diner during my work trip in Amarillo. I'm glad I did or I wouldn't have had the best Key Lime Pie in my life! Breakfast Burrito was very good, Horizon Burger was fantastic and the key lime pie, well I had to take one home to share!

This is the best diner in town. Not only is their food amazing, but the view of the airport is the best part. I love coming to eat here. The staff are kind and welcoming. Their burgers and waffle fries are my favorite. The chocolate peanut butter pie is delicious. It’s so neat watching all the different aircrafts for lunch. Their breakfast is delicious too, love their hashbrowns.

It was a fun, new place to eat! The food was great! My husband said it was the best crispy chicken salad that he’d ever had! The helpings were generous! We took the leftover home and had another meal! We enjoyed the planes and the history!

First time for me. I tried the chicken fry, okra & mashed potatoes. It was really big. Everything was hot & tasty! I ❤️ the okra! It was lightly breaded & yummy! Took some key lime pie home. I'll tell you about it later. Melanie was friendly, very helpful & I will definitely be back! 9.5 out of a 10!

Named for the man who built Tradewind
Shelby Masterson Kritser opened Tradewind Airport in Amarillo, Texas in 1946. He was an extremely talented pilot and excelled in aerobatics in his vintage World War II Grumman F8F Bearcat and Bücker Jungman. His goal was to bring people together through aviation.
When entering at Tradewind Airport, you would find his linemen dressed in a crisp, clean white shirt, a black leather bowtie, royal blue trousers, and a blocked Legionnaire hat. When exiting he had a sign posted: “You are now entering the most dangerous area in the world, a public highway”. Most importantly, you did not bother his pet rooster that made its home at Tradewind.
Today our menu is a homage to classic American cuisine: hearty breakfast options, mouthwatering burgers, and comfort food that feels just like home.
