I decided to visit amarillo just to try this place. last time, yrs ago when i was driving thru here i had saw their sign on the highway and added to my things to do in texas i routed my stop to this city just so i can get me some cheap steak in cattle town. feels like i was back in college, not naming it, but you can smell the cow poop in the morning biking to campus.... got a 24oz ribeye for $40 and a tall mug of porter for $10. total with tip was 60 something. i think i did 15% tip. the whole place had a texas vibe from the dining hall with all the deer heads mounted and all the staff in cowboy/girl gear. food was good. it was a great experience. would definitely return to try a different steak cut even bought merchandise from the store. it is definitely a tourist attraction. read more

The Big Texan Steak Ranch is definitely an experience, not just a meal! We went all in and ordered the ribeye, brisket, and ribs with sides of green chili creamed corn, fried okra, and cowboy beans. The steak was flavorful and tender, the ribs literally fell off the bone, and the brisket was solid and satisfying. The standout for me? The green chili creamed corn and fried okra, absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The cowboy beans were okay... just beans, nothing special compared to the rest of the meal. Service was superb, friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. And of course, the entertainment factor is real! While we were there, we watched someone attempt the famous 72 oz steak challenge. Fun fact: it's actually cheaper to take the challenge and pay less than to just order the steak outright. That alone tells you how legendary this place is. If you're in Amarillo, this is a must-stop for both the food and the atmosphere. read more

FUN VIBES! My dad has been talking about this restaurant non-stop since the last time he drove through the area, all of the billboards advertising the 72 oz steak challenge really drew him in. We took a stop here for lunch recently. Our server was okay, pretty bare minimum service and I had to ask for water refills. I liked the fried pickle appetizer, however I felt the pickle spears were too thick. Andreas were good, I really enjoyed the quesadilla and my dad enjoyed his steak. There's a bit of a communal vibe inside, with long tables where you are sat next to other parties. It was fun to talk to other people also going on road trips and talk about where they're coming from and going to. read more

Super fun steakhouse! High speed, loud like a Texas country bar and steakhouse should be! We had to wait for an hour to get seated but they have a great bar that serves their local micro brews. I highly recommend the Raspberry Wheat ale! The place was packed, what would you expect on a Friday night? Despite the fact it was packed, the customer service was outstanding and the steak was delicious! Definitely a great place to eat if you're passing through Amarillo. read more

04/12/26 The food is just okay. The atmosphere is interesting, but of course it would be more fun if someone was competing in the 72oz steak challenge. We ordered the lone star cut for two and the steak tasted more like hamburger meat unfortunately. There's a hard sear on the outside of the steak that makes it pretty crisp and I wasn't a big fan. It also was a tad dry even though we ordered it medium rare. The star of the entire meal was the green chile creamed corn. My husband ordered the rattlesnake beer and asked for the 27oz mug which is only $10. The server told my husband that was the only beer he wasn't allowed to sell in a 27oz and he was pretty sure it was because of its high alcohol content. So, he had to get the lesser value at $7 for 16oz. Didn't really make sense since there are at least two other draft beer selections that had higher alcohol contents. Our server was nice, but he disappeared and didn't check on us until we were half done with our meal. Dinner was an experience, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place if you're looking for a good steak. read more

Driving cross country with my son for his relocation to 29 Palms CA. Stopped at the legendary steakhouse. When we walked in at 5pm on a random Wednesday we were not prepared for the sensory overload.... Table up front was for the legends attempting the 72oz steak. Seating is both family style, booth and two or four. Tons of trophy horned animals and cattle horns. Couple guitar players belting out Texas classics. Service is super friendly and prompt. Although this is a tourist trap, it is also a darn good restaurant. Great place to stop on cross country tour. read more

Found this place after watching an episode from Wonderhussy on YouTube and made it a point to stop in during my road trip. Really glad I did. The place is huge and was absolutely packed when I got there, but the service was still friendly and quick. The steak was delicious and cooked perfectly, exactly what you want when stopping at a legendary Texas steakhouse. The whole spot has a fun, larger-than-life road trip vibe. It's definitely one of those classic roadside destinations that feels like part restaurant, part attraction. They also have the famous 72 oz steak challenge. No one was attempting it while I was there, but it was still fun seeing the setup and imagining someone trying to tackle it. If you're passing through Amarillo on a road trip, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. Great food and a memorable stop along the way. read more

This is a very busy place. They have a humongous side for just eating food and they have a gift shop a bar at the back a place that sells candies right when you walk in I think that's perfect placement because my son wouldn't stop asking for candy the whole time. The service was really good, fast friendly very easy but it is like I said a very busy place. We came with our two kids so when you have a small baby, everything takes a little longer, but that was nothing against him. It was just having a small child in a pretty busy place sometimes you can feel a little hectic. During our reading experience I think we got to witness six or eight people trying to finish the 72 ounce steak so it was awesome to try to cheer some people want to finish the steak even though they couldn't. The food was good definitely not the best steak I've had. I feel like it was a little bit pricey for the steak. I feel like it was more about the experience for us and how good the food was because I've had better stakes other places to be honest, but to take your family to this place and to just experience it yeah it's worth it. Just know that it'll cost you. I believe we spent 100 bucks and my wife and I got steak and my son got a pizza so that's a little expensive. But I highly recommended if you're traveling cross country a great place to stop in and just enjoy read more

Just passing through Amarillo, I decided to stop at the famous Big Texan Steak Ranch. Before going, I had read some reviews and figured it might be one of those tourist traps. When I arrived, it definitely had that vibe: crowded, with a souvenir $$$hop, mini games, and over-the-top interior decor. As for the dining, I ordered the 16 oz ribeye cooked medium, with Texas fries and mac and cheese as my two sides, along with two beers. I have to say, the ribeye was actually pretty solid, and the price felt reasonable for what you get. The beer was a pleasant surprise too. I tried the Bomb City Bock and the Raspberry Wheat, and both were enjoyable. Had I not been traveling, I would have gotten a growler or two to go. A special shoutout to my waiter, Jake, who was professional, friendly, and very welcoming. Overall, while the place is definitely touristy, the food, beer, and service made it a worthwhile stop. read more

Though we've been through in Amarillo multiple times, this is the first time we took an opportunity to stop. So very happy that we did! After getting her normal tourist pictures on the outside, we ventured in. We took a look at the dining hall and decided it was a little bit too boisterous and open for us. We opted to sit at the bar. There are a few tables there as well. Eric had a super job taking care of us! He did a great job explaining the menu and the process! He also made some killer drinks for us! We were not silly enough to try the free steak challenge. That said, I did decide on their 24 ounce porterhouse with a loaded baked potato and the red onion tomato salad. My wife opted for the lunch portion chicken quesadilla with a Caesar salad. My wife said that her Caesar salad was one of the best she's ever had! Though it looked pedestrian, it tasted superb! I liked the simplicity of my red onion and tomato salad, very tasty. Our meals came out fairly promptly. Huge! Even the chicken quesadilla, huge! My porterhouse was cooked to perfection and I truly enjoyed the loaded, baked potato! I did manage to eat the whole thing. My wife enjoyed her quesadilla, at least what she could eat of it as it was so large. Next time we're in the area, we will be stopping in again! This place is great! Thank you again, Eric! read more

This spot is actually surprisingly good considering that it seems like a tourist trap. They say that the sweet tea is homemade, but it's not the best. The rolls were good and had some sweetness to them. The side mac & cheese and beans were a bit small, but they were both good. The homemade ranch with the side salad was tasty. The filet was delicious, but had almost a little bit too much seasoning on it. It was a very fun environment. The service was a little bit slow, but they are always very busy. read more

The Big Texan Steak Ranch - Steakhouses Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Our group was working in Amarillo and decided to check out the infamous Big Texan Steak Ranch, home of the legendary 72 oz steak challenge. While we didn't take on the challenge ourselves, it was definitely entertaining to watch a few brave diners give it a shot while we were there. It adds a fun, lively energy to the whole experience. For dinner, a buddy and I both went with the baby back ribs, he ordered the half rack, and I opted for the sampler so I could try a few different things. We were not disappointed. The ribs were tender, juicy, and came right off the bone, with a rich, flavorful BBQ sauce that really hit the mark without being overpowering. The sides deserve a shoutout too. The cowboy beans were hearty and full of flavor, and the green chili cream corn was a standout, creamy with just the right amount of kick. Everything felt like classic Texas comfort food done right. The atmosphere is definitely on the touristy side, but in a fun way. There's a lot to look at, from western-themed decor to the steak challenge stage, so it keeps things interesting while you wait or eat. It's the kind of place that leans into its reputation and delivers an experience, not just a meal. One thing to note, make reservations if you can. We went on a Wednesday around 5pm and it was manageable at first, but by 6pm the crowds really started rolling in and the place filled up fast. Overall, it's a spot I'd absolutely come back to, next time with the family. Whether you're there for the food, the atmosphere, or just to watch someone attempt that massive steak, it's a memorable Amarillo experience. read more

Raw steak!? We came on a busy Friday evening. The wait time was 45 minutes. The lobby was quite interesting although it was very noisy. When we got seated and ordered we received some rolls, which were excellent with the butter. We ordered a medium rare 36oz Houston cut ribeye, a full order of Texas brisket slathered fries, a cup of chili, a garden salad, and fried okra. 36oz "medium rare" ribeye:(1/5) We ordered a medium rare steak and received a rare steak. It wasn't well seasoned. I think our server forgot about it, because when we received it was lukewarm.(I know steaks need to be rested, but not for that long!) Also some of it was raw! I didn't send it back because I hate wasting food. Texas fries:(5/5) Generous portion of fries slathered with meat and cheese. Worth it! Chili:(4/5) Average chili, came with cornbread. Garden salad:(3/5) It's literally a salad. Fried okra:(4/5) Decent fried okra. Rolls:(5/5) Excellent with the butter. Beefsteak tomatoes with onion:(5/5) Tomato with raw onion, what else can I say? Overall everything was decent although I was dissatisfied with the steak especially because the last time I was here it was perfect. read more

3.4, are you kidding me? We made reservations ahead of time which was a good idea. Gets packed. We got there early and decided to have dinner in the bar. Great drinks and service. We had the Big Texan appetizer and shared the 16 oz Big Texan strip. We added an extra baked potato, 3 shrimp, 3 jalapeños and coleslaw. Watch out for the jalapeños. They are not for sissy la las. This meal was AMAZING and the rolls to die for. The beers were really good and a great pour on the Whistle Pig. Wish this restaurant was in my backyard. For now I'm gonna have to gitty on up, headed back to AZ. Thx Big Texan. 5 stars from us read more

Why doesn't this place have 5 stars?! This is my second time going to The Big Texan Steak Ranch. I first came here when I was 11 or 12 on a family roadtrip, and have remember it ever since. Now I came back, older and engaged, and experience was just as good as I remember it. We ordered the 21 oz steak for two and got four sides. This was so filling and more than enough. Also liked how the rolls are refillable, but I think you can only ask for extra once. Expect to eat most or all of your food, becaus the to-go boxes are limited. Seating wasn't an issue at all since my party wasn't big. Plenty of parking outside. Clean restrooms. A cute gift shop attached as well. read more

This place is super cool. I was able to get some yummy food even as a vegetarian. Whatever is in the cheesy corn dip is Crack. So delicious! I also got a delicious cocktail... some kind of Old Fashioned. This place is clearly an institution, and rightly so. If youre into quirky and a little gimmicky. Check out the gift shop to get a cute shirt, and stay at the hotel while you're there! Rooms are fine. No frills, but easy access to stay the night if you're traveling on I-40 and want to have a few drinks and crash for the night. read more

The Big Texan Steak Ranch visit was a memory dinner for my husband; he ate here in 1976 as a college student selling books. We were greeted by a lovely young woman who sat us at a family style table. Our table mates were seated a reasonable distance from us so we didn't interfere with each other's dinner. Our server was knowledgeable, agreeable, & efficient. A complimentary basket of warm dinner rolls, BBQ Ribs, half-order of Rocky Mountain Oysters, prime rib, & lastly green salad; every bite was a delight. The wine Juggernaut Red Blend & beer Whisky Barrel Stout were delightful. Unfortunately, taking pics was difficult because the place was packed with people. The gift shop was fun, art work on the walls all over the interior were fun. read more

There's really not much to do in Amarillo, so for the sake of a "one-and-done" visit to this restaurant, I would recommend it. It's a fun atmosphere and the service staff adds to the experience. There's always someone challenging the "Free 72oz steak contest", which adds to the atmosphere. There's always someone steaks are char grilled, so they are tasty, but the quality of the beef is not the best...but what do you expect for a $35 steak? I would recommend this experience if you find yourself in Amarillo but you most likely will not be returning. read more

Ambiance: This place is one big collection of Texan stereotypes...think cowboy hats, boots with spurs on their servers, taxidermy, and lots of Texan flags! The interior of this building was much bigger than I expected. The dining area is large, but they have a second floor as well. The restaurant was not packed when we stopped by on a Friday afternoon. The restaurant also has a large gift shop, a dessert counter, a brewery, and a large outdoor seating area for the bar. They also had some shotgun shooting games that you'd see at a state or county fair. Service: We were seated right away since the restaurant was not busy. Our server was not particularly friendly! I loved the live music entertainment by Mr. David Waddle! He had a great voice and made the dining experience fun. He sang "Amarillo by Morning" for us ;) Food: Now let's get to the good part! The menu was pretty expansive. They had a handful of appetizers, steaks, BBQ, and traditional American bar options. After looking at all some of the photos on Yelp, we concluded that the serving size was gigantic...so my husband and I shared the lunch special: spicy chicken quesadilla. The spicy chicken tasted like chopped up frozen chicken tenders. The spicy chicken was not spicy at all, and didn't have much of any kick! I didn't particularly enjoy it. For our 1 side, we ordered the corn, which was very creamy. It was good, but not the best! For those who come with a big appetite, the restaurant has a challenge where you eat a large 70+ oz steak...in one hour! This also includes having to eat the Shrimp Cocktail, Baked Potato, Salad, and dinner roll! I cannot imagine! Overall, I felt like this was one big TX stereotype for tourists! read more

Very average steakhouse. Definitely an attraction to this city. The service seemed very average over all from the host to the waiter. They all seemed like they did not want to help or be there. The steak that came out was okay. The cut was not the best but it gets the job done well enough. The mac and cheese was pretty good, the sauce was not watery. They even have a guy with a guitar that will ask to play songs for your table. There might be a person on your table to request a song and look at you for cash tips..... lucky I had some ...(Ryan) read more

Clean Friendly Excellent service Quality just a bit subpar on the Ribeye and the Chicken Fried Steak. The Ribeye had no flavor from seasonings. The CFS according to the menu was Wagyu but I seriously doubt it as it was a bit chewy and some stringy gristle. Other than that we absolutely enjoyed it. read more

5 yrs since the last time here w my best friend and his son, New Papa Unabelly. If the review was based strictly on the overall experience, it was 5 star worthy. Lots of nostalgia, gimmicks, western decor..., but you can't eat that. My best friend, The Big Armadillo, and I stopped in for 16 oz. rib eyes. Early enough, about 4:15, that we were seated immediately. Boston was our server, and he was excellent. Almost talked us into the 72 oz ribeye challenge. Story for another time. Anyway, rolls (excellent) followed by salads, followed by steaks and another side. The Big Armadillo had broccoli, me...Texas chili w cornbread. I thought the ribeye was good, not great. Too much fat and grizzle for me. Chili good but, again, something missing. TBA loved his steak like a junkyard dog loves a bone. And it looked similar. 4 stars for me read more

From the time I was a little girl and could remember road trips, I remember this place. We never stopped here, but you can't help but see it when you're traveling along I-10 and passing through Amarillo. I was in Amarillo for a Jeep off-roading trip, and the group I went with decided to stop here for dinner so I finally got to try it... It was good... To begin, the ambience is insane! You walk into this huge venue with a store that seems to go on forever (including the visit to see the rattlesnake) on one side, and a large, two-story bustling restaurant on the other side. Everything is country-ranch in decor along with the uniforms. Seating for the most part is family-style with long tables, chairs on both sides, and some tight squeezes. In the front are the challengers (IYKYK) sitting on a dais with time clocks above them. (We were thinking they should have over-the-table cameras with monitors around the restaurant to monitor their progress. We ordered the Slug Bug Punch in a boot for funsies, and they were so delicious after a day of driving. I ordered the ribeye with a loaded baked potato and a salad. The steak was ok. Not the best ribeye I've ever had, but good. Definitely, plenty left over for tomorrow. Everyone in the group seemed to enjoy their meals. It was a good experience overall. I took a point off because even though the staff was very friendly, they had so many tables and were so busy that things got missed (we asked multiple times for water, drinks, missing food items) and orders confused (someone in my party got my rare steak and I got their medium rare steak which we didn't realize until we'd cut into our steaks and started eating). I'd still recommend it for the experience, the Slug Bug Juice, and maybe for breakfast because I found a lot of those menu options intriguing... I may come back, but definitely make reservations if you're coming in the evening because this place gets packed! read more

We made reservations several days in advance for a Friday evening dinner. I would suggest you do the same if you're considering going. The line to the hostess was long and we had to stand in it even though there was another sign that said reservations. However, when I walked up to the guy sitting there, he chuckled like I had asked a silly question when I asked if that was where we should check in. It was annoying. If you don't have a designated spot for reservations, then don't have a sign saying reservations. The hostess line was long but at least we were seated as soon as we checked in. Our server was great. She was very funny and when my daughter's order came out wrong, it was fixed quickly. The prices are on par with most chain steak restaurants. The food was good, but not outstanding. It really was more about satisfying our intrigue of finally eating at the restaurant we have driven by many times over the years on our way to Denver. I'd go again if we had someone with us who had never been there. read more

Truly 4.5 stars. This is an icon in Texas and for some reason in my whole life driving thru Amarillo we had never stopped. So happy we did this time! Fun, vibrant, and really decent food. Without a reservation there is a wait but to be expected. You can entertain yourself in the gift shop or strolling around looking at fudge and homemade desserts or go to the bar and get a beverage. Open seating in the bar while you wait for your dinner table. Prime rib was cooked just right and the wagyu chicken fried steak was fork tender and really yummy. Try the green chili cream corn if you like green chili. It's so good! The strolling cowboy musicians, Elvis and Dale, were delightful - played our request for George Strait 's Cowboy Rides Away perfectly! (Only beef with the gift shop - one price showed lower than what was rung up - evidently one sticker was for a coffee mug without candle wax and the higher price not readily visible included the wax!) On the whole I'd even go back, but with a reservation in Open Table read more

We definitely went here for the hype! As tourists, we couldn't miss this famous Amarillo landmark. I don't think many locals eat here often, but it's one of those iconic spots you just have to experience at least once. We started with fried pickles, which were absolutely delicious. I also tried the spicy mango margarita, but it was way too sweet and syrupy for my taste. For dinner, we ordered two 12-oz Fort Worth cuts with sides--one with broccoli and mashed potatoes, and the other with fried okra and corn. The steaks (medium and medium-well) were just average, nothing extraordinary. The steak was flavorful but had more fatty and chewy portions than I'd prefer. The fried okra and mashed potatoes were solid 10/10! What really made the visit memorable was the atmosphere. We even got to watch someone attempt the famous 72-oz steak challenge, which was so fun to see. Our waitress, April, was very friendly, attentive, and polite. Overall, the food itself wasn't anything special, but the experience and vibe make it worth visiting at least once. This isn't your typical steakhouse, it's a landmark with a fun, lively atmosphere you won't forget. Gift shop is nice and I bought some souvenirs. read more

We are staying just down the road in the big Texan RV park and of course you have to come here for at least one meal! It's definitely a touristy place but wow, this place is huge! Think of it as a Landry's kind of experience but focused on steak. The big challenge is you need to eat a 72 ounce steak, including all the sides that come with it less than an hour if you want to get that meal for free otherwise it is $72. We understand the current record holder is a lady that ate the steak in four minutes and she completed the full challenge and she's a small person at all the 128 pounds, so don't judge anyone by their size, lol. We came for a late lunch/early dinner as we have been driving all day. I know you're supposed to order beef at a steak place, but I can't do beef so I had the char grilled chicken sandwich and it was really good! They serve it with all the Fixins, including pickles, lettuce, tomato, and onion, and my side was the green chili cream corn. Everything was very tasty, and that chicken was very juicy. I enjoyed it immensely. Husband ordered the half pound burger and he said it was one of the best burgers he's had in a long time. His side was the fried okra, he didn't enjoy that quite as much, probably should have stuck with the fries. Our service was exceptional, while we were there at an odd time that made it a little more quiet than what others experience during the meal rush, she was super attentive and had our food to us within a matter of 10 minutes or so. Not only is there a main dining room room, there is an upstairs to the dining room as well as a really pretty bar area that we did not discover until afterward, might have like to have spent some time here. There is also a huge outdoor patio. It's just too hot to enjoy it today as well as a fun game shooting range and a gift store. There is also a carryout barbecue spot that looked like they do a pretty rapid business. There was somebody playing guitar, although we couldn't see exactly where they were. They moved around the room sitting in a chair, so never really quite figured that one out. There is also a "sweets" to go counter where you can get a piece of pie or cake to go, and the counter was pretty busy too! Our total bill for our two sandwiches, a Pinot Grigio and one of their in-house made beers was $47 before tip Now we can check this one off the list! read more

WOW. From the moment you pull into the parking lot, you'll be astonished. They don't call it The Big Texan for no reason! My buddy and I were taking a break in Amarillo during an OTR run and decided to finally stop in. It's legendary in Texas -- and honestly probably to anyone traveling Route 66... or I-40 now (womp womp ). We forgot it was Valentine's weekend so there was about a 30-35 minute wait for two people, but it flew by while checking out the massive gift shop. They also have: Full bar Homemade ice cream station Homemade fudge station We were seated quickly, especially considering the holiday. Our waitress (didn't catch her name unfortunately) was very kind, sweet, and respectful. All the staff were dressed in country wear which really adds to the Texas vibe. Appetizers: Fried pickle spears & onion rings. Let me say this -- those onion rings were HANDMADE. Crispy outside, tender onion inside, perfectly seasoned, dipped in house ranch... unreal. The fried pickle spears? Perfect crispy batter with that snap inside Ranch on the side never hurts. Drinks: I had the 16oz Rattlesnake IPA (7.2% ABV, 74 IBU) That thing BIT me. Generous buzz for sure Crisp caramel notes, slight hoppiness, smooth finish. I originally wanted the 27oz but they only sell it by the pint -- they do have towers though if you're feeling bold! My buddy got the Slug Bug served in a souvenir boot. Great presentation. He suggested mixing it after photos because it gets sweeter toward the bottom -- just a heads up. Dinner Rolls: OMG. Possibly the best dinner rolls I've ever had. Soft, fresh, slightly sweet, and honestly don't even need butter or honey. They can go toe-to-toe with any famous steakhouse rolls. Main Course: I ordered the 21oz Top Sirloin "Lone Star Cut" Medium Rare with a Garden Salad & Cheesy Potatoes. Steak was cooked perfectly. Salad was crisp and fresh. Those cheesy potatoes? Country-style, simple, perfectly balanced cheese-to-potato ratio. No extras needed. Just comfort food perfection. My buddy got the 24oz "R.J.'s Texas Cut" Rare with broccoli and (of course) cheesy potatoes. We both left with leftovers -- and that says something. I paid $77 including tip. He paid $90 including tip -- and that's with huge steaks, appetizers, and alcohol. Very fair pricing for the experience. This was our first visit, so we went big. No regrets. Absolutely worth your time, money, and the full Texas experience Next visit? We're attempting the 72oz challenge. Thank you Big Texan for the hospitality and unforgettable meal! P.S. For god's sake please stop listening to the people on Yelp (no offense) but all they do is complain cause their is no way this same restaurant has a 4.4 Rating on Google Maps. You be the judge. -Brandon read more

As touristy as it gets, but honestly there's not much else around there and it is unique, so worth a stop if you're passing through. Lots of random things to keep you entertained, including food challenges, a guy that plays guitar at your table, arcade games, gift shop, and some.. interesting decor. I kept it simple and just ordered some "spicy" chicken quesadillas. They weren't bad, not something to rave about, but hard to mess up chicken tenders on a tortilla and it hit the spot for me. They weren't very spicy at all. Our server was effective and did the job but not really friendly or talkative, which was surprising since they're all in "uniform" (figured the personalities would match the rest of the vibe). Look, it's not going to be the best meal you've ever had, but they lean into their brand, whatever that is, and it's intriguing and they've done a fine job with it. No real complaints here. read more

My parents introduced me to their favorite road trip restaurant on Route 66 and I have to agree that it's worth a stop. The ribeye was one of the best steaks I've ever had: tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. Everything from the sides to the sauces are made from scratch, and they cut and age their steaks in house. The cheesy potatoes had me looking online for copycat recipes, they were that good. Although there was a bit of a wait to be seated, we spent our time browsing the store and checking out the eclectic southwestern decor. There's even a humungous live rattlesnake in the back corner of the gift shop. This is one side quest you don't want to skip. read more

We came here because of all the huge billboards along the highway advertising free 72oz steak. It peaked our interest. This restaurant is huge! Inside, there are different sections - bar, outdoor area, dessert counters, souvenir shop, definitely a must-see tourist spot. Definitely stop for a meal. Today being Sunday la Sunday, naturally if was crowded. We check-in with a lady at a counter and very quickly she showed us to a table upstairs. I love our view of the dining hall downstairs. Our friendly server - Emmy-Lou - brought us really fast and gave us some recommendations on the menu. We ordered the 21oz steak to share, it came with 4 sides and we added a fried mushroom as recommended by Emmy. She was right, it was yummy. Our steak was beautifully seared with medium rare inside. It was a good piece of steak. We took some home - excited to get up eat again We had a little issue with our steak but Emmy handled it very professionally and we were very appreciative of her. If we had room, we would've had a dessert. Next time. read more

We had a wonderful time during our first visit to Big Texan on our way up to Colorado. Due to popular demand, we decided to stop by on our way back again. They cook your steaks exactly how you want it(medium rare), the staff super friendly and helpful, the addictive dinner rolls, great atmosphere and the entertainment factor of watching those trying to do the Big Texan challenge. Yes, it is a little pricy but it's a very cool experience as well. Suggest making a reservation because it can get really busy at times even on weekdays. read more
