In 1960, R. J. “Bob” Lee opened The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo Texas on Route 66, the “Mother Road”. It’s distinctive architecture soon became recognized across the Mother Road as a good stopping place for great steaks grilled over an open flame. The Big Texan is famous for the FREE 72oz steak challenge, which includes eating a salad, baked potato, shrimp cocktail and 72 ounces of beef! Stop in and have a one of a kind experience with large, juicy steaks, cowboys and cowgirls, and take a dive into the Old Wild West!

The Big Texan has more to offer than just big steaks! Stay with us either at our RV Park, Cabins, Wagons, Airstream, and AIRBNBs on property.

This was a fun restaurant, full of boisterous people having a good time. The meats were delicious, and the food was good. Dessert , coconut cake, tasted of chemicals and was way too sweet. It’s the quintessential Texan experience.

We were a group of 8 dining in for dinner. We have been here multiple times, however, this time we were underwhelmed by the food. Our potatoes were lukewarm and the steaks had a ton of pepper on them. They were served lukewarm as well. The place is fun and is still has great ambiance, especially decorated for Christmas as it was. Sad the food did not live up to our expectations.

The food was terrible. We didn't get paid for what we ordered at all. They took extra money for sharing a menu when it wasn't notified to us beforehand. The waitress was very rude and snappish, made it obvious that she was angry when she received zero tip for the bad service. No matter how famous the place is, wouldn't reccomend it to anyone and wouldn't come here again.

Dining here was definitely an experience. The food was decent enough though. The restaurant was all done up for Christmas which added to the ambience. Their brewery beers were really good. If you’re coming through town it’s definitely a place to check out.

Enjoyed this restaurant while visiting family in town. It was all decorated for Christmas, which we really enjoyed. I was expecting the food to be sub-par since this was a tourist destination but we really enjoyed our meal!

Fun place, good fresh food and friendly staff in spite of being a little hokey. Loved being serenaded while having dinner and feeling the throwback to another time. It is what I imagined the west to be during the 194’s-50’s!
