Waitress was really good, it's unfortunate she has to work somewhere serving glorified cafeteria food.

Way too expensive. Food was barely even warm. Clean atmosphere. Service workers were very friendly. Better bang for your buck elsewhere.

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

Huge buffet lines and the food seemed fresh this evening when I arrived at 6:30 pm. Quite busy with…read morelots of folks which meant the food turned over and was replaced often. I was here for over an hour, slowly eating lo mein, beef & broccoli, baked seafood, sushi and more. One complaint was that the queue to get ice cream was super slow. Lots of folks who dawdle and don't understand the idea here. The buffet was clean and the young lady serving my area stopped by often. She had quite a bit of cleanup under one table because a family of kids doesn't understand keeping food on the plate. Wow. [Review 21034 overall - 448 in Texas - 2019 of 2023.]

Service : 4/5 Food: 2/5…read moreAmbiance: 3.5/5 Price: 4/5 There's Alot of options in this Buffett, but personally, I found the best dishes to be the pizza, maybe salt & pepper fried shrimp....and Ice Cream.... everything else? A disaster. Why serve the crawfish if you ain't Cajun boiling the shellfish... Sushi--- ever eaten dried rubber? (Failed) Hibachi Grill-- lacked flavor, lacked moisture, (When your cook is just waiting to clock out and GTFO, can't blame the Amigo though...) Ya, I don't know what I ate, bunch of random things. Nothing hit it home. And now I'm having a bad case of food coma. Next time I'll probably stick to the Salt Grass Steakhouse next door... Final Thoughts: if you are broke or on a tight budget, this meal came out to 15.00 out the door. Can't beat that type of pricing ~

I was suprise to find a noodle spot here. just had to check it out as it was 5min away from hotel…read more went in and I overheard the staff all speaking mandarin. ok, this is china spot. when i first try to order the black garlic ramen, the waiter ask what type of meat? i was surprise as in ramen places that is never asked, it is usually just a few slices of pork. so, i ask is this chinese style, and he said yes. so, i changed my order to beef noodle soup as that is a more traditional chinese noodle. i added onion pancakes as i usually like to eat this with beef noodles and dip the pancakes in the noodle broth. the noodle soup was awesome. first bite of the noodles, i immediately can get the Q from the noodle. it is freshly pulled. taste just like fresh pulled noodles i had in china. i asked the waiter and he confirmed it is freshly pulled noodles. in addition, being in cattle town amarillo, the beef slices were generous and thick. really great find in this town. total was $21 bucks! i think i did 25 cash, dont remember.

I visited about 10 minutes after they opened. The servers were very friendly, though they seemed a…read morelittle shy. The ramen was decent overall. If you choose the pork option, the char siu comes in thick slices, and the broth had good flavor with a generous portion. My only real disappointment was the egg--I would have preferred a soft-boiled egg with a jammy, runny yolk instead of a hard-boiled one. Also, while the noodles arrived steaming hot, the broth was only slightly warmer than room temperature. I didn't mention it since it wasn't cold, and I figured they would probably have had to remake the bowl. Overall, the food was solid and the service was pleasant, but I'd like to see the broth served hotter and the egg prepared differently.

This place is great. I am so glad I came here. During the week you get about 80% of the menu…read more Weekends 100% and it is all your can eat. Rare steak, pork, so many options. You even get sushi as part of your purchase. The waitress was spot on. Always checking and filling g drinks as they got low. She was amazing. Don't visit Amarillo often but I will stop again on my next visit.

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt a responsibility to write one for this place…read more This was my first stop during a four-day cross-country road trip. When I found out there was an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ within walking distance of my hotel, I was genuinely excited. After walking there in the summer heat, I was pleasantly surprised by how large and well-designed the restaurant was. Even on a weekday a little after 6 PM, there was a wait, but the system was organized, and I was seated after about 15 minutes. The thought of enjoying Korean BBQ with soju while traveling far from home made me really happy. Unfortunately, everything after I sat down was disappointing. First, I want to say that the staff were excellent. They were friendly, attentive, and provided great service throughout the meal. I have absolutely no complaints about the service. The food, however, did not live up to the atmosphere or the service. The first dish served was soft tofu stew (Soondubu), and honestly, I couldn't even describe what it tasted like. It didn't resemble authentic Korean soondubu at all. Even more surprising, an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant didn't have ssamjang (Korean dipping paste). As a Korean, I never imagined I would eat grilled meat wrapped in lettuce without ssamjang. They served lettuce but no ssamjang--it was honestly unbelievable. The side dishes were also disappointing. The kimchi felt more like an imitation of kimchi than the real thing. Most of the staff appeared to be Chinese, so I assume the owner may also be Chinese. I don't mean that as criticism or disrespect in any way. My point is simply that I had hoped to experience at least a little of the authentic flavors of Korea. If you're just looking for a place with a Korean-style atmosphere and decent service, you may enjoy it. But if you're looking for authentic Korean food, I can confidently say this is not the place.
