Texas Rose Steakhouse Leaves Canyon for New Amarillo Spot

We all get sad when a restaurant in Amarillo closes, especially when it was a decent place to eat. Then we find out a new restaurant is moving in and taking the place of that long-gone eatery. Will it be just as good? Will it be the same type of food or something completely different?

That's exactly what's happening with the old Rib Crib building. They came to Amarillo, and when they opened, they were on point.

Why Rib Crib Left the Building

However, as the years went by, the food and service seemed to decline. A truck drove through the wall of their building, and not long after the reconstruction, they closed and left the Yellow City.

Recently, we found out that Texas Rose Steakhouse would be moving into that building and opening an Amarillo location.

That's great news because they serve up great food and they have locations in Pampa, Borger and Canyon, and now Amarillo. Or so we thought.

Texas Rose Steakhouse Announces a Big Change

Texas Rose recently announced on their Facebook page that the Canyon location would no longer be open.

Canyon, your support over the last 5 years has meant the world to us. As we prepare to relocate to Amarillo, our Canyon location will close on Sunday, November 23.

This came as a shock to many Canyon residents.

Canyon Residents React to the Texas Road Steakhouse Closure

I thought you were opening a second location.
I thought you were expanding, not closing.
I don't want to drive to Amarillo.
Good luck with that.

The announcement took many Canyon residents by surprise, and most were not happy with the announcement, while others wished the restaurant luck.

When Will Canyon's Texas Road Steakhouse Close?

Many suggested that other restaurants that have lost their location move into this building, so we'll see what this brings. But for now, the Texas Rose Steakhouse in Canyon will close its doors on Sunday, November 23rd.
