About the restaurant

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.

A lovely experience. Our server, Seth, was outstanding. Triple J never disappoints. Only one critique, the time between the rolls, the appetizer, our salads, and finally our main course arrived to our table was minimal. I do not know how you solve this issue, but it felt hurried and we could not keep up. The tables are not large enough to place all those dishes at the same time either. Again, this is not a complaint, we will for sure come back to your fine establishment. If you served your President, he probably would have said the same.

About the restaurant

In the 20th century times were simpler, dining out was reasonable, the service was excellent and cooking was an art. My staff and I have tried to capture that ambiance of simple elegance. Our traditional values extend even further: There are no heat lamps or microwaves in our kitchen. Everything comes to your table straight from the broilers and ovens - good and hot - the way it used to be. ~Lisa West~

Drinks were bad. Food was good not great. Server was great. Prices are high, but I’m sympathetic as bringing high quality dining to such a remote part of Texas is likely a logistical nightmare. All in all good experience.

One of the best steaks I have eaten in a while. The surf and turf special was creative with the creole seasoning and very tasty.
