Amarillo, Texas: Big Texan Steak Ranch

A place that you thought only existed in a Simpsons episode. If you can eat its 72 oz. steak in an hour, you get it for free. Big bull and goofy photo-ops in the parking lot.

Fantastic for kids! Got a maze, mining for "gemstones" bean bag toss, walking crooners, etc. very friendly! Food is so so, entertainment is well worth it!

Good luck squeezing the Charmin for the next week if you attempt the 72 oz. Steak freebie. I didn't eat there, as the entire restaurant smelled like nervous cows, i.e. stale sweat and fresh methane. Of all the attractions here, my personal favorite was the "Seated Waiting Area."

So worth it. This place is just what you expect it to be, but in the best possible way. Old West kitsch, great steak, great beer (says my wife), great gift shop. If you need a motel room, the motel is reasonable, clean and in keeping with the theme. Love this place and will be back.

If you are staying along I-40, the Big Texan Steak Ranch will come pick you up and bring you back in a limo with longhorns attached to the hood. Kids thought it was awesome!
