We had to stop at the Big Texan while traveling Route 66 through Amarillo!…read more Our original plan was to come for dinner. I tried getting a reservation just a few hours before we arrived, but there was nothing available, and I wasn't able to get anyone on the phone. Once we drove past that evening, we understood why, the place was absolutely PACKED! I had seen that waits can sometimes reach 1-1.5 hours. That said, if you do have to wait, this is probably one of the better places to do it because there is SO much randomness to explore. Between the gift shop, Western décor, photo ops, and everything else going on, you could easily entertain yourself for an hour. We changed plans and made a reservation for 9 AM the next morning instead, and I'm actually really glad we did! On a Thursday morning it was quiet and relaxed, and we basically had our pick of all the goofy photo opportunities without fighting the dinner crowds. We shared the steak and eggs, and it was a perfect breakfast for two. The steak was seasoned perfectly and cooked really well. The entire place is exactly what you hope for from an over-the-top Texas Route 66 roadside stop: rustic, quirky, cow prints everywhere, a big gift shop, and lots to look at. We also discovered a whole crew of cats hanging around outside near the patio in the morning, which was an unexpected and entertaining bonus. One disappointment for us as Route 66 souvenir collectors: they have TWO penny press machines, but unfortunately BOTH were out of order when we visited. We were so sad! Overall, going at 9 AM turned out to be a great move. You still get the full Big Texan experience, but with way fewer people and plenty of time for pictures. Definitely one of those classic, quirky Route 66 stops you have to experience at least once!

We came in, and Helena was at the hostess desk with a few others. I requested a booth, but there…read morewasn't any available for 25 min. My guys were hungry, so I said "fine a table." She led us to a four- top attached to another four-top that's occupied and the table we would be sitting at had a two-top attached. She put the menus down and took off she knew we wouldn't want that. In fact, when she saw us walking back, she said something snarky we couldn't make out. Great way to welcome customers. So, she adds us back to the list for a booth. We ended up sitting in the last booth by the exit. The pad on the booth slid back and forth, both pads on both sides ripped up. Second strike. Then there were the bathrooms. Before you even got to them, it smelled like sewage. It was bad enough to make you gag. They had a fan on the floor inside the bathroom. From the minute we sat down until we left, we were fighting off flies. The server was fine, nothing spectacular left a good impression. I got a salad and a sweet potato. Salad was iceberg and had wilted lettuce mixed in. My husband ordered the prime rib medium, and it came out medium well. My son's was how he ordered it. I am sure the amount of money this place brings in daily is huge. Get your booths fixed, address the sewage smell, and fix the fly issue. We will never go back. We have been traveling across country all month, and this was as bad as Whataburger!! The standard has dropped tremendously since our last visit!! Do yourself a favor go to a nice steakhouse that has their act together! No thank you! 10/17/26

Still, she took time to talk with us and recommend things to do in Amarillo. Super nice! The menu is burgers. Beef or buffalo (and chicken I believe). I chose a buffalo patty and it was still a super greasy burger! So good. Lots of flavor. Plenty of toppings. The buns are soft, buttery and held up perfectly. We ordered a large basket of fries for the table and didn't finish them all! Those come 'loaded' if you prefer. It was in the high 90's during our visit and it was hot in there. The outdoor patio was open too. Yes, there were a few flies, but the doors are constantly being opened front and back, so it's kind of inevitable in an historic building from the 1920's. Single men's and ladies restrooms. No diaper station. Mostly street parking with a small lot at the side of the building.
