Came here as a kid during a family trip to Colorado. Decided pecan while I was working in the area. It wasn't real busy and I sat in the open bar area. My waitress was quick, cute fastest friendly and efficient. Got my 16 oz steak in less than 10 minutes from order. I got the mashed potatoes and some kind of creamed corn side that was good. Of course my steak was as expected cooked medium perfectly, juicy and tender. Topped it off with a Lonestar and a giant piece of lemon cake... That I could only eat 1 bite of.. full. Thankfully it comes in a clam shell... It's huge. Snack for the hotel. Of course this is a tourist destination so be ready for people walking around with their cameras and phones invading privacy... Just roll with the flow and enjoy the full experience. I highly recommend this. Oh yeah I did not see anyone trying the 72 oz free steak....

For a place this busy, you'd think the BBQ would be better. The brisket, ribs, and sausage were EXTREMELY dry, and the sauce that comes with it tastes like someone poured vinegar into it. The sauce was my least favorite part. It was legit gross.The potato salad was ok. There was nary a vegetable in sight other than an underwhelming coleslaw.I'm rating this strictly based on the food, but it's otherwise an ok tourist stop.

Very country restaurant, friendly customer service, fast seating, love the fact they have parking for truckers, had to go off on a driver trying to get 2 parking just for him, knowing there's not enough parking for semi trucks. I'm a truck driver myself. Food was delicious, 1st time here, recommend this place... when entering they have some cakes for sale, and other stuff....

After reading the reviews my expectations went up. Big texan met those expectations. I went on a Sunday so it was pretty busy got on the wait list but ended up sitting at the bar (Was faster to find a place to sit) the bartender was very friendly and welcoming. I had the 18 Oz Ribeye steak it was so delicious and tender. I ordered it Medium and it came more like Medium Rare but was still very delicious so I didn't bring it up. They have some nice leather goods at the gifts shop made locally which is nice to see Overall was a pleasant experience and will definitely come back whenever I'm in Amarillo, TX!! Thank you!
