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.

    Ordered porterhouse medium rare, got well done they did fix the steak, but the new steak had absolutely no flavor of any kind. Fun place great ambience and it’s a cool thing to do, but for a steak place,  the steaks themselves were actually kinda disappointing.

    Nicole was our server and she was friendly and super cool! It was my daughter's birthday dinner, so she was extra nice to her! Our steaks were made pretty close to what we asked for and other than the screaming kids at the next table, it was enjoyable.
