Well if you are here you just gotta do this. Steak is perfectly acceptable and they have some beers they brew on site that are decent but this is all about the tourist trap experience, just enjoy!

Debra Welch

This place is crazy. Souvenir shop from cool to junky stuff. Some of its funny, some of it's just plain weird. I had the 3 rib appetizer , sweet potato , root beer , and strawberry shortcake . I was full.

Robby Shipman

While the actual steak isn't as good as Saltgrass in other cities in TX, the atmosphere is definitely more fun. The food is really good also. Definitely worth going to.

Erik Rowley

One of the best and creative steak houses in the world. I enjoyed my 25 oz steak while watching a group take on the 72 oz challenge. Full of weird animatronics, a shooting gallery , and Zoltar!

Justin Ordoveza

A great place to people watch , everyone from around the world comes to this place. This placed is filled with a myriad of attractions . The steak here is decent piece of meat. The dining room is a show

Ghaurto Franco

when you come to this place, you must definitely come very hungry. I love the atmosphere, the dishes, the portions, it is a taste of the old west, the paintings are a great touch.

Martin Puller

If you're not keen on the 72oz Steak Challenge , get the "Man vs Food" meal: a more manageable 18oz steak , 3 fried shrimp , potato , and salad . I've finished it both times I've ordered it, tho VERY FULL!

Mark Lorance

A bit of a tourist trap, but lots of cool things to see and steaks are great!! It is usually crowded , but they get you seated and served quickly.

Frances Sullivan

Atmospheres was good - Food was okay - as you would expect with lots of people there. 2 ribs (each comes with two sides) and a jug of pale ale was $77 including tip. Limo ride from accomodation great

Mandie Walding

Went with someone who's been before apparently they've went up on prices everyone I went with was not pleased with there steak but mine was AMAZING best steak I've had in a long time

Danielle Dietz

6oz filet so good. Get the baked potato they give you all the fixins' for it. Hope that some bro is there attempting the 72oz challenge. Fun to watch!!

The Daytripper

The other food joint, you MUST check out is the Big Texan Steak Ranch, where they give out FREE 72oz steaks . Small catch – you’ve gotta eat it in one hour, along with a table full of sides. Good luck!

Randall Johnson

Food and service was good. Got in quick and food came quick too. Fun time... great place to stop on our road trip.

Glenn Lindgren

I know this sounds crazy, but this restaurant actually invites the general public to come and eat here. Oh and if you can somehow down a giant 72 ounce steak with several filling sides you eat free.

Reneeshia McIntyre

Our steaks were cook to perfection! Huge portions for a reasonable price and can be shared they are so large. Some of. The decorations and themes are comical and can be related to Married w/ Children

72oz steak comes unseasoned (not even salt)to preserve the beef flavor. I get it but after splurging $200 bills for it... You'd want that steak to at least be made with a little bit of love.

B Allred

The steak & margaritas were excellent. Amber was such a good waitress . Right up until she received her tip. You might want to receive all you want & then leave her a tip.

Breck W

Order steak , naturally. A little disappointed though. We ordered a t-bone and a ribeye , both medium. The t-bone came med-well and the ribeye was rare.

Michael Less

I've eaten here twice in my travels and I must say the atmosphere is definitely the highlight. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, but it's definitely a tourist spot. I would stop again though!

Moe Kay

Everything is delicious here. The rare is actually rare. Save room for dessert , I recommend the carrot cake !

Travel Channel

On Man v Food, Adam Richman comes here to take on the restaurant 's legendary 72-oz. steak challenge : a mammoth steak , a shrimp cocktail , a baked potato , a side salad and a dinner roll .

Kristine Tague

Have the Bomb City Bock- it rocks! Really smooth beer . Love that this is close to the airport and they have free limo service !

B Allred

We ate the Bar B Q Combo this time & it was delicious. The cook (red head) did a remarkable job. Thanks!

Nevin

The thing to note here is the town is lovingly named after my beautiful bike . Though they do pronounce it differently :)

Ben Baron

The regular steaks (not the 72 ouncer) are good. In house beers aren't life changing but worth a try.

Abel Delgado García

Historic route 66 checkpoint. 45 minutes of waiting, but we had some fun with the electric chair guy.

Ashley MessErsmith

Ask for samples on the beer so you can find the one you like. & sweet potatoes make a great side.

Jessica Reece

Definitely worth the stop. One family left because it was too expensive , but I think its quite reasonable. Wish the sweet potato was bigger

Lisa W

A must stop if you are in the area. The biggest rattle snake I have ever seen in the gift shop .

Baochau Tran

Had the breakfast plate , the biscuits and gravy was great. The steak wasn't are thick like other places but over not bad.

Jonathan

This was a lot of fun. Excellent service and great atmosphere. My 7 year old son loved it!

Eugene M

This fellow finished the 72oz challenge while we were here, with 8minutes to spare. He said he still had room for his beer !

Social News Network

An Amarillo Texas staple. Known for the 72 ounce steak challenge and it's unique atmosphere, including a pet snake.

Valentino Rosas

A great experience for any visitor, good food, ambiance and a very nice gift store !

Rick

Amazing food and service. We'll worth the stop! Skip the tiny 6oz steak and jump to something bigger. The meat is so tender and juicy. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Steve Sande

Don’t even think about trying the 72-oz steak challenge unless you are an eating pro. We’ve seen too many people defeated by the meat!

Cherster Santos

Special lunches is really good, make it sure you order the mountain oyster and chili is really superb in this place

Michael Docster

It's really kitsch, but lots of fun. A must-do on a cross country road trip. Food was decent and not too overpriced.

Joe T

Total tourist trap. I was a little disappointed in my steak . It was cooked to order but was little tough in parts. Sides were good. If your into beer , the flight is worth it.

Cheryl Anderson

IF YOU'RE A TRUCK DRIVER, STAY AWAY.DO NOT BRING YOUR TRUCK HERE.Unless you have an extra $1000 on top of your bill.Do not park your truck for the hotel either.Your semi will be towed while you sleep.

John Gonzales

Surprisingly interesting craft beer selection . Try the smooth pale ale or the sweet porter . Weird, huh?

Deanna

Some of the sides are good for vegetarians ... You know, in case you're like me and eating at a steak house ;)

Andrew Alvarez

Best bovine testicles I've had in a while.

Amy Bannerman

The tomahawk steak is delicious. Their steak rub is top notch.

Caleb Miller

Probably the best steak I've ever had at a restaurant ! The 8oz isn't big enough! Yum!

Kristina Keyton

Any steak you get will be perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. Definitely try the Chocolate Bock Lager

Rich Durham

I got the 18 oz ribeye and it was awesome!!!

Bryan Bailey

If you like big steaks , YOU MUST try the Tomahawk $66

Monee' LoPorto

Steaks are great and the rolls are to die for ... YUM

Jose Romero
