The Big Texan feeds almost half a million people each year from all over the world. It has been featured in countless TV shows, movies, magazines, and newspapers throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. Countless movies and sit-coms have featured or parodied the World Famous FREE 72-oz. steak dinner (if eaten in 1 hour).
The Big Texan Steak Ranch has received many honors such as being named to MAXIM Magazine’s list of Top 10 Steak Houses in America! Our steaks are carefully aged for maximum flavor, and the aroma from the grill will have your mouth watering as soon as you enter our huge dining room.
In those exciting days of the Old West, few things were more important to weary travelers than a good watering hole. We’ve done our best at the Big Texan to provide the right libation to satisfy any thirst.

Serving Amarillo since 1960
Since 1960, the Big Texan has been opened and serving 72-ounce steaks to folks living in and traveling through Amarillo, Texas! The restaurant has only been closed a few times during those 60 years. The first time was due to a fire, the second time was due to the filming of the movie, Waking Up in Reno, and the third time was due to the forced government shutdown during the COVID pandemic. Other than those times, the restaurnat still follows the orginal founders wishes of being open 365 days a year!
