Big Haul 2020: Amarillo, Texas

[@rockerstud555]

Lived in Amarillo for over 30 years and I've eaten at The Big Texan maybe 5 times, 4 of those were on Christmas because it's one of the only places open. It's a tourist trap, most locals never eat there. So many better options for a good steak here!

[@crazyaz9468]

As a trucker, I visit The Big Texan quite often. Awesome place! The funny thing is with that steak contest. The winner or the person who set the record is a woman who weighs like a hundred and twenty pound. LOL. I think she has done it three times or so and her record is around like 8 minutes.

[@AbomAdventures]

A Taylor I believe that’s the story in the cup. Another crazy thing is it says she ate that steak in like 10 minutes!

[@The806Traveler]

@@AbomAdventures It was Molly Schulyer (Spelling?) and she ate three whole 72 oz. challenge meals in less than half an hour (yeah that's nuts). I can't even imagine. The video is on KZbin. The Big Texan is OK in my book, but their country fried steak (what I call chicken fried steak) is awful. I live about a 100 miles south of there and have eaten there many times. Loved seeing you two having a great time. I always get a little hesitant because it's such a tourist trap, but it looks like ya'll had fun. Glad to have you in my home state.

[@AbomAdventures]

I don’t think that’s normal. Amazing to think a human body can hold that much food. Wth??

Long time Abom79 viewer from Amarillo, started watching when you were building the round welding table, went back and watched all the previous and every post since then, both channels. I do enjoy the cooking parts by the way but I intended to learn lathe and milling work from one of the best. I should have sent a message to you to get in touch if passing thru Amarillo, knew if you did you stop at Big Texan. I live west of town and my next door neighbor is the manager at Big Texan, we do eat there once in a while even though it is about a 40 mile round trip to go there from home. They do have a free meal deal on you birthday only, prime rib, best in Amarillo. I usually have the ribeye Dallas cut . Way more than I can eat but great leftovers. Hate that we missed meeting you, glad you enjoyed your stay here. By the way it was high in the 80's when you were here I believe, today it is high of 21 with 2 or 3 inches of snow so far.

[@zanbullock5202]

I have 2 daughters that work there. One is a bartender and the other is a waitress. They love their job and the owners are a great family to work for! I hope you enjoyed your visit!

[@deweys]

Two most wholesome people on the internet. You all are awesome

[@melissabarnes2626]

Big Texan is greatness. We live in Amarillo, and eat there on occasion. You should have had the pick you up in their limo with the longhorns on the front

[@toddyeomans3249]

You guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing. I have drove past that place numerous times and never stopped. After watching I’m gona have to give it a try.

[@kevinwagoner9488]

The Big Texan is Americana at its best. Loved our visit there.

[@janakjv]

Shout out from Amarillo! Glad y'all had fun in our city, next time you come through you will have to check out even more stuff....like the Palo Duro Canyon, the Panhandle-Plains Historical museum, and more. I am glad you had a nice time in Amarillo.

[@jordynl9859]

Yall are so cute 🤣 I've lived in Amarillo my entire life and have never been to the Big Texan lol!

[@abigailscott3217]

Same lol

[@martaevialawayne8553]

Same here!

[@LawrenceLakeAmarillo]

You guys are so fun. I live in Amarillo and you made me want to go to that tourist trap! 😂

[@jamesogorman3287]

Competitive eater Molly Schuyler ate THREE of the 72 ounce steak dinners in 20 minutes ( the first in 4 minutes 18 seconds) in 2015. You just have to eat one in 60 minutes to get it free. You are such a sweet couple.

If you were watching the Flintstones, it would be like when the pull into the take away and the Bronto Burger tips the car over.

[@beverlymurray6554]

You two are so cute! Loved the video!

[@BattingBlueyes]

I live in Amarillo and it's a great place to live.

[@gregprince2523]

America Baby!!! That's a Dinosaur slab of udder perfection!!! That whole place has great food. Been there 20 times or more over the last 40 years of truckin and never ever been disappointed or let down!! Good folks take pride in their lively hood!!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Happy Birthday Abom, what a great wife.

[@emilyerrington3379]

I live in Amarillo! Awesome place :)

[@treymonahan2476]

I live in amarillo and I went there for my birthday.

[@BrendaH289]

Big Texan has been around over 50 yrs, hope you got Texas hospitality! Safe travels!

[@stantodd2769]

Been there many times over the years in my travels as a photographer. Knew you would love the food and the atmosphere of "THE BIG TEXAN"

[@chetbiddlecom6016]

When you said (time stamp 14:45), that you were going to order the "Tomahawk Steak", I clapped and chuckled!

[@jeffc6832]

My wife and I went through Amarillo back in February on a Minneapolis to Phoenix round trip (2 long days of driving each way). Sadly we didn't have time to eat, but we did swing by on the way back to pick up some chocolate cake and some carrot cake. We finally got to eat it when we stopped for the night in Oklahoma City. Needless to say, due to the size of the cake we didn't finish it until we got back home to Minnesota. It was a fun place and we'll definitely go there for a steak someday.

[@alialabbas1982]

Beautiful video. I enjoyed it. Keep filming your trip. By the way I live in Amarillo. You will love it.

[@joeramirez1872]

Abby you have made Adam happier man. I can see his has changed since you-all have been together

[@mannys9130]

The ending was funny. 😸 You 2 are just naturally funny people. That steak was insane. Tourist trap can be very fun even if you live there. Tombstone, Arizona is a huge tourist trap but you bet your ass I've gone there on Helldorado Days to enjoy the reenactments and all the vendors there selling cool stuff! If you're enjoying it, it's a good place to be regardless. :)

[@Dexterackley]

Hope y’all enjoyed you’re stay in Amarillo it’s my hometown born and raised here

[@themadcatter5849]

Wow, this is similar to why my wife and I did last week. Though she wouldn’t let me take my truck said it would use too much diesel and for the savings we could get a cabin. We left Texas stayed in Amarillo, we didn’t get out any in Amarillo bc covid. That steak place was packed! Colorado was nice the business owners thanked us for being there.

[@josephhall3987]

That volcano is my caplin.. and big Texan is bomb I live in Amarillo I go there alot

[@SteveSummers]

Happy late Birthday Adam, I really enjoyed the video. You guys had a great time it's easy to see.

[@debbadoo46]

Good morning and Happy Birthday! We waited until this morning to watch this video and OMG! You guys never disappoint with how good we feel while watching your adventures! You two are hilarious! Abbey...you made Adam's Birthday very special and it was wonderful to feel as if we were a part of the celebration! ( Richard and I always try to go early to avoid crowds too!) We were literally holding our breath as we waited to see if Adam's steak was up to par! That smile said it all! You guys are simply the best and we adore you! OH! And that cake though! 😋Yum! Thankyou again for sharing so much of yourselves with us. You are so genuine and that is refreshing! 😊

[@AbomAdventures]

Thank you for the kind words Debby, and we're always glad to hear how much you guys enjoy the adventures!

[@moparandbill]

We go to the Texan on occaision. As Amarillo residents, we have so many great places to eat!

[@andytownsend9163]

Happy Birthday Adam, just eaten and now you made me hungry!!! Loved the adventure trip thanks for taking us along 👍👍🍺🍺

[@dwbrittin]

Great place, we took the kids there a couple of years ago for the first time and we all loved it. We now stop every time we head to Pagosa Springs, Durango and Silverton. They also have free limo (with long horn hood ornament) from and back to your hotel. Never ordered the Tomahawk but will next time. Love the videos, both adventure and shop.

[@AbomAdventures]

We drove through Pagosa Springs and had no idea that nice little town was there. Looked like a great place to visit.

[@dwbrittin]

Great place to take a bath, (in the springs). And now back to TOT. Waiting for your next shop vid.

Man I’m sad I missed y’all. I just live up the road from there. Glad y’all enjoyed amarillo. Be safe on your journey home!

I grew up 48 miles from Amarillo. Little town Called Hereford where the Cattle outnumber People

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Wow that steak 🥩 was massive! Very cool place and everything is bigger in Texas for sure!

[@AbomAdventures]

Such a fun place to stop! 👍🏻

[@jameshatfield7634]

I've been to the Big Texan and had the 12oz rib eye and it was the best steak I have had in a restaurant period.

[@patriciacoxson3180]

Oh I forgot you need to visit our beautiful Lake Meredith in Borger you will love it there free camping

[@barbkeen1221]

I was there years ago for a visit and I can remember the water was cold even though it was July! It was very beautiful!

[@anthonyfreeman5858]

A friend of mine had the 72 oz steak meal & finished it within the time limit of 60 minutes around 30 years ago. We were coming back home from a ski trip to Colorado & had a early dinner. It was good. Anthony

[@susie3893]

I love the Big Texan. From NC so I have only been there twice on a RV trip back from Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. Both times it was delicious.

[@noel3385]

welcome to the Panhandle!

[@Meeshka24]

I live in Amarillo 🥰

[@dougmcnattin386]

Amirilo KOA is where we stopped on the way home last winter From Mesa to Champaign Illinois. Actually a nice campground. Even though its at the airport it wasn't noisy at all. I don't think it lines up with the runway. Only 1 row of campers when we were there but the site was very level and a pull through.to boot. You did pretty good checking out the Big Texan.

[@steveschumacher5470]

you guys always make me hungry,( & happy). Now I wish Texas was closer.

[@spaceboundlad2622]

You videos are so awesome. Fun watching

[@llapmsp]

Looks like a great time, and Happy Birthday Adam.

[@stephentreadwell8436]

That is a good looking steak. Happy Belated Birthday.

[@tiffwest2373]

So Amarillo is my home town and for every birthday in the family we go to the big Texan and next time you swing by on your birthday you get a free birthday meal off the birthday menu super worth it !

[@martineastburn3679]

Think of it this way - back in the Gulf region ! Welcome to Texas. And cool pictures. Panty pants ! Can't eat a simple dinner ! Cool Guys.

[@rockysan]

I’ve been through Amarillo a few times and have never stopped at the Big Texan. Maybe next time. Looks like y’all had some fun.

[@hly1226]

This place is sooooooo extra. It's awesome. 🥰

[@Fairchildflyer]

We do Amarillo each way from San Antonio to Oak Harbor great trip

[@shortfuse43]

As Willie Nelson says..."On the road again....." You two had a vacation of a lifetime in Colorado and Utah, thanks for sharing it with us. BTW, the volcano you saw on your left from Hwy 64/87 is Capulin Volcano National Monument, an extinct volcano. You can drive a spiral road all the way to the crater edge, then hike down the inside of the crater to the center (yeah!!! another hike!!!). Along the way, you can see large blocks of rock and all kinds of volcanic material that didn't make it out of the crater. From the top, after a snow storm, you can see the snow filled ridges on several lava flows that went out from the volcano...they look like zebra stripes...very pretty.

[@ghostrider729]

Fred Flintstone style!!!!👍👍 It's Butter!!!!

[@nurgle11]

Happy birthday Adam, of course now I'm hungry .. gotta go fire up the grill now :/

[@Garth2011]

Food looks great. Too bad the tomato and red onion didn't get tasted...they are a great side with beef. Seems like the cook E knows his stuff, nicely charred and medium rare inside.

[@rodneycaples5402]

The Big Texan Steak House is the Greatest! I had the filet steak there and it's hands down the "Best Steak I Have Ever Eaten In My Life" and the Staff there are Wonderful.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

That steak looked very tasty. Every time I see you have the steak, I get hungry. I saw someone eat the 72 oz on TV. Man that is a hunk of meat.

[@michael931]

At 12:00 I immediately stopped the video to go buy that shirt. Well, there are some things you can't get on the internet....

[@TC-bz9dz]

something for Abby....since she likes Cavenders Cowboy stores...the first store was opened in Tyler Texas...and the Cavenders live in a small town south of Tyler called Bullard Texas...thats where I am from...and I just want to say that the Cavenders are a very nice family I have known them for years...just good ole East Texas people!!

[@AbomAdventures]

That’s good to hear. They just opened the store in Daphne Alabama which is local to us. We’ll have to check it out.

[@emknapp6713]

EMS on-site ready to go.

[@water-boymartin2753]

Love the Big Texan. You should have tried the calf fries. Come back any time. Next time go to Cadillac ranch and paint your names on the cars. Same highway just the other side of town.

Aloha you-all, Adam the main difference between us is the bone, I would have had to polish the bone, I agree a steak dinner is about the steak!!!!!!! I hope you had a wonderful time on this trip and I look forward to your next adventure, you two complement one another, it's so nice to see. Mahalo nui loa for sharing with us.

From the small world department, we stopped in at the Big Texan Steakhouse in October of 2019 on our RV trip to four corners and the grand canyon, and were seated in the booth next to the one shown in the video, one spacer farther away from the wait station.

[@jacksak]

Adam, happy birthday again. It was a real pleasure seeing you all having that conversation at The Big Texan. It was like I was a third party sitting at the same table with you at that moment having a good time. Also, I was hoping you ordered the tomahawk steak especially because I've never had one and have recently been thinking about getting one.
