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.

We stopped on a long road trip. The atmosphere was fun and over the top. Just the sort of thing to break the monotony of the road. We sat upstairs which really helped the noise level. Enjoyed our food and beers. I had the steak tips special and they were tender. Waitress was nice. Yes it was touristy, but guess what. We were tourists!

So much fun! Loved that it was still decorated for Christmas and the kids meal was served in a cowboy hat.
