LOCATION: 3131 Soncy, Amarillo,TX 79124 Other locations are in Texas towns: Lubbock, Abilene, and San Angelo.

ONE OF THE DATES WE VISITED THE RESTAURANT: 12/23/2007

PRICE RANGE: Moderate

FAVORITE FOOD: Gumbo. The gumbo is not exactly Creole, but it is tasty.

OTHER GREAT FOODS: The salad bar. The array of ingredients on the salad bar would challenge the most ambitious eater. The baked potato bar. The chili is good on the potatoes.


FOOD WE LIKED LEAST: Potato soup

MOST OUTSTANDING FEATURE: Abundance of choices

SPECIALS: Check Zookinis.com

APPEARANCE: The hallway floor between the dining area and the restrooms was slick enough to make someone slide down. A lady entering the restroom as I was leaving said, “Yuck!” There seemed to be a grease spill that needed cleaning. The salad bar looked clean, and there was no spillage of soup at that bar. A little floor dirt would have been okay if I had not been wearing my high heels with slippery soles.

SERVER: Michelle

SERVICE: Very efficient and pleasant

UNIQUE FEATURES: Cute theme

COMMENTS: Most of the food was very tasty, and there was plenty of it. We were unable to make room for the desserts, which were stationed at the end of the salad bar. We'll be back.
