All-American Pig-Out: Staying and Feasting at the Big Texan Steak Ranch

[@jimlotspeich7117]

Man alive, how things change! I remember the Big Texas Steak house but it certainly wasn't so big or had all that extra 'stuff' around it. Back during a time when I was a police officer for the Amarillo PD my 'beat' was on Amarillo Blvd. (Highway 66) I had several jobs there...1st job was a Country Western DJ for a little station located off Hwy. 66; 2. a police officer; 3. Greyhound bus driver. That reminds of the two times I've heard you mispronounce a New Mexico town called Tucumcari, NM. Anyway, the natives pronounce the town "Two-Come-Carry. I always announced the arrival of my bus entering this berg with a story about how the town was named. It appears you really enjoyed your trip through the Long Star state. I enjoyed your video showing my old stompin' ground.

Greetings from Flagstaff on Route 66. My Dad and I went to and stayed at The Big Texan on a Route 66 Roadtrip with my Dad in 1994. Skipped the 72 oz steak for an 8 oz Petit Filet (before I became a vegetarian in 2000). My favorite things were the Texas/shaped swimming pool at the motel and the Texas-shaped waffles for breakfast in the morning

[@SwinkMcloud]

We would drive by this place almost every year on the way to see our grandparents in Texas. My mom would never stop no matter how much me and my sister begged. I finally got to see the inside because of your video.

When was the last time I saw a Studebaker? Hmmm... About five minutes ago. I got a 1942 Champion in my garage and it will be going to Texas next month!

[@rocky081991]

Molly Schuyler, a competitive eater, made headlines in 2014 when she devoured a 72-ounce steak at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in just under five minutes. She ate 3 -72-ounce challenges in under 20 min in 2015. Needless to say, she is the record holder.

I stayed and ate here in '92 or '93 when I was 20. Me and two of my friends were driving from Virginia to Las Vegas to see a Grateful Dead concert, we stopped here and got a room and with the room we got three vouchers that were for like a 5 dollar steak dinner. I remember the big floor show and music and stuff. It was like the first big road trip of my life. trip

Driven past this place several times over the years, but never had time to stop in. Superb mini tour/experience!

[@harleydude-xo8pu]

This challenge was 25 dollars back in the early 70's. As a kid I thought I could accomplish it. My parents paid the 25 bucks and off I went trying to defeat it. I finished off the salad, shrimp coctail and I believe the rolls, then I had my eyes set on that steak, medium well with a taste that melted in my mouth. cut and eat, cut and eat, cut and eat. I was going to finish this challenge and had visions of the local TV stations interviewing me and then thought maybe the President would invite me to the White House and be presented with a medal of valor for finishing this task. I kept cutting and eating and watching the steak get smaller with every bite, I was just a few bites away from that grand prize, when I decided to unfold the steak and realized I had only eaten a quarter of the steak. My visions of victory went away in an instant and I was reduced to just another sucker who was lured into trying this challenge.

[@steveludwig4200]

"when I decided to unfold the steak?" What a load of BS. The steak has never been "folded". Your a liar....

Interesting place... that's a bucket list item for me. 👍 I'll also would pass on eating the 72oz. steak 🥩 but there seems to be quite a selection of other options one can chow down on!

Great video. Very well done. The Big Texan is a a tourist destination no doubt about it. Been there several times. Steaks are great and everyone should make it a bucket list item. I drive a truck and the limos are not for high rollers, they will come to the truck stops and pick you up, great service they offer. Every time we visit the place it is crowded with foreign tourist. Great place and lotsa fun. Sorry you had to dine alone. It is best experienced with friends.

Would enjoy seeing you narrate one of your blogs in a busy restaurant.😊 Big salute to Texas for still having the Gideon’s in their hotel rooms.

[@Britcarjunkie]

Been there many times, and still haven't tried the rattlesnake. The 72oz steak dinner used to be $1.00 per ounce, if not finished in an hour. The absolute record holder is a lady named Molly, about Sarah's size, and she's done 3 of them in less than 3 hours (think it was more like 2 1/2)! EDIT! Boy, was I wrong! 120 lb. Molly Schuyler finished three 72 oz. steak dinners IN TWENTY MINUTES!!! Don't believe me? Look her up, and you'll even find video proof. Oh - and The Big Texan is NOT a tourist trap, they really do have good food at decent prices. Once in a while their bakery has a deal: buy 1 lb. of fudge, and they give you another lb. for free.

There’s a seafood restaurant that has a similar joke here. On the wall, it says free beer on Monday. They happen to be closed on Monday. I did joke with my server one time about that when I went there on Tuesday. I said that I came by for free beer Monday and noticed they were closed so could they honor the special that day. It got a great laugh out of her.

I the early 90s, my former wife and I had just moved back to the US from a tour in Europe. Our 1st weekend, I drove us 100 miles from Clovis NM, to Amarillo just to have a steak at the Big Texan. Does she order a steak????? NOPE!!!! She gets the chicken... In March I was making my way back to San Antonio from Wyoming and a good halfway stop is Amarillo. Got a room at the BTSR. Under $100 the room well appointed. My room was at the end of the false fronts, right next to the 1st Limo. The BTSR has a lot of good memories for me. My Dad stopped there in Christmas of 81 on our way to Boulder City, NV.

Good job on both videos about Texas - Cadillac Ranch & the Big Texan Steak Ranch. As a fellow Texan, I was very pleased with how you treated us. Thanks Wonderhussy!

[@EfficientRVer]

I was hoping you'd go there, when I watched your Cadillac Ranch video. I went there in May 2018 as part of my last road trip that used all hotels and AirBNBs. Since then, my road trips have been primarily car camping, except for visiting people, or having family fly in somewhere to join me. Recently made my 2nd trip to the A-12 crash site, which started out as a cool, challenging place to find and visit due to my interests. But it has turned into an area I treasure for how isolated it is, how I've never seen anyone even pass by the area when I'm there, even way less visited than anything around Rachel or Tikaboo Peak. Which is another area whose attraction started out being the Area 51 proximity, and ended up being that there is such a variety of great places to be within that otherwise randomly selected area on a map that I'd have never have gone to if not for the initial reason that ended up not mattering much. At BTSR, I had the 18oz "Dallas" version of the steak dinner, and it was excellent. I didn't rush, but still easily finished it on pace to finish the challenge dinner in an hour. But I noticed that people doing the challenge did not maintain a linear pace. They went gangbusters, then "hit the wall" sitting with their head in their hands trying not to puke. I recall that my waitress was named Mariah, a fine, hard-working young lady who I hope did well like your own waitress. At the time, I think it was $72 if you didn't finish it. I debate whether I'll ever make the attempt, and whether it would in some be an evil waste of food, a medical risk, a sign of vanity, all of the above, or just something everyone should try once. Many of your videos have me thinking I'd be happy to be on a particular adventure with you. Of those, most seem like they'd be a fun adventure, chance to share stories, compare interests, and gain perspective on each other's unique lives. Not many make me feel like it would be at all date-like, but this one did. You're usually a bit hyper and focused, but this time seemed like you were really relaxed and ready to put your head on someone's shoulder or vice versa. Reminded me of a first date a decade or so ago, where a woman who seemed very trusting yet a bit wary of leading a guy on, said "I'd like to relax in my hammock with you, if you're able to not read too much into that." I was a big fan of Takeru Kobayashi. He revolutionized the hot dog contest. The professional eaters now, have much less individuality, they are like maybe 3 different classes of eating robots, following an algorithm.

Been there 3 times traveling across Texas. Steaks are not impressive. "Meh" is the best I would give their steaks. Their 72 ounce steak challenge is their fame and draws lots of people and tourists but the quality of meat isn't much to brag about. I even drove east of Amarillo to McLeana atexas to see thr Barbed Wire Museum. Barbed wire is also called "thr devil's rope." Very interesting as barbed wire was what tamed thr vast open lands and develooed it for farmers and ranchers. So i saw 100s of different types of barbed wire and how they are used and how ranchers used them. Fascinating museum.

This reminds me, I had a dream not long ago that I was visiting Big Texan with my navy squadron (got out of the navy 27 yrs ago lol). But we arrived too early and they weren’t serving lunch yet.
