I live in Amarillo and I've gotta say, you can definitely get a better steak just about anywhere you go. They made this place as a tourist attraction for people out of town. We went there and got a steak a few years ago and it was like it had been microwaved. And full of gristle. Just because it's a big steak, doesn't mean it's a good steak
@jessyhavron2548

I had same experience, If you want a good steak this place can't hold a candle to Texas Roadhouse, and they are cheaper, and you get a free bag of peanuts to take home. The Big Texan is more hipe than good service kinda a tourist trap with all the signs on the highway. If they spent as much on quality food and service as they do on advertising maybe there food would be a little better. Like my mom always told me you can tell a clean kitchen by the way they keep there bathrooms clean.

I HAVE A REALLY FUNNY STORY ABOUT THIS PLACE. I went there more than 10 years ago. I was on my way to Vegas and stopped. I heard of the place before and knew of the 72oz challenge. I walked in and they say me down. I told my server I wanted the 72oz steak with all the fixins'. They said I needed to sit up on the stage to take the challenge. I told them, "No no. I just want to order it. I don't want to be in the contest. I will gladly pay for it". They get the manager. Manager tells me no one has ever done that before. I just told the, it was not a contest for me and that I just want to sit down and enjoy the steak and my dinner. Well four hours later I was done then went back to my car and took a long nap. Everyone at the Big Texan was great but were confused why I didn't want to take the contest. I guess they failed to realize I was there for steak, not to get something for free.
