Best WLM Reviews

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, and it was an incredible experience! Known for its famous 72-ounce steak challenge, this restaurant offers a true taste of Texas hospitality and cuisine. The atmosphere is lively and fun, with a Western-themed decor that adds to the charm. The steaks are cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, and the portions are generous. The service was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're up for the steak challenge or just want to enjoy a great meal, The Big Texan is a must-visit spot. Highly recommended for anyone passing through Amarillo!
Steak! I really enjoyed this steakhouse. We arrived for lunch during the week. It was quiet, partially full when we arrived but more had arrived by the time we left.
The service was decent. Nothing amazing, but nothing to complain about either. A roaming country singer went table to table to ask if we wanted to hear a song; we obliged and he is pretty good too!
Of course the food! The steaks are very good, huge and properly cooked. The sides were done well too. The steamed broccoli was perfectly cooked, which is honestly a problem at many restaurants.
If you go you won’t be disappointed. Don’t compare this to $100 steaks at the finest steakhouses in the world- it’s obviously not as good as that. But their steaks are more better than what they are charging for. And the atmosphere is fantastic!
The name matches the energy. The family and I had the privilege of coming to this establishment. And we had a great Texan night out. The atmosphere was awesome lots of fun Texas decorations, to feeling down right country. We were treated with smiles and that good old Southern hospitality. We waited for a table less than 5 mins. However the wait to order drinks and appetizers took a bit longer maybe 15 minutes. The family and I did understand the place was extremely busy. So we waited with excitement. The waitress was very nice, she did seem to forget about us time to time and to flag her down was a bit of a hassle. I am not downing her at all she was a sweet heart. Now the food lives up to the hype great spot on cooked steaks , and the sides are just the cherry on top. Super delicious! The family and I had a wonderful time. So big shout out to all the staff for making our great night in Texas memorable. We will be returning next chance we get. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who hasn’t been.
Wow, that was awesome! Service was outstanding, considering it was a busy Saturday night! Food was incredible…first time for the family trying mountain oysters…very tasty. Great salads, sides, and buttery rolls. Steaks were perfect—not over seasoned or cooked, and high quality. Kids dinner was served in a Cowgirl Hat!!!! Rattlesnake IPA by their brewery was crushable. Overall unforgettable memory in the books at this place! A must stop for families!!
Really neat mounted animals surround the dining room. We had the NY strip and the porterhouse, medium rare. For a steakhouse, the beef was not top quality-gristly and a tough chew. However the sides, salads and rolls were great and helped make up for that. Lots of neat photo ops around the restaurant and worth a visit to say you've been there and done that.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Go.. take the family! We drove from Dallas and our expectations were low. We assumed it would be a novelty experience. We were pleasantly surprised! It was so much fun!! We made reservations and they accommodated us right away wait was 2-3 minutes tops to our table. Our waiter Roy as fantastic. The food was hot and delicious! The dining atmosphere was really cool over the top western themed and we got to see a steak challenge. The rest of the experience was equally awesome. Games, gift shop, bakery with fresh fudge & cakes and a cool in house brewery with craft beer. We stayed in the themed motel which was in walking distance. It was super cute and fun as well. It offered everything we needed for our stay including clean, iron, ironing board, TV soap/shampoo and coffee. Overall a really great experience! Worth the drive!
Service and atmosphere is great! We ordered the tomahawk and it was absolutely bland. The sides were good as well as the mountain oysters. I really wouldn’t waste my money on a steak. Have cash to tip they guys coming around and singing.
Alexis from Texas was our server and she was fabulous! She made us with a smile and gave us perfect suggestions for our meals.
The restaurant was decorated with an amazing assortment of fantastic dead animals and clever Texas decor.
We got to witness the famous 72 oz steak challenge and neither of the contestants came close to finishing.
Even though the food was fairly standard, the servings were enormous, and the rest of the place was like a mini amusement park. It thoroughly entertained the entire family and was certainly worth the stop.
We're glad that we carved out time during our trip from Arkansas to California to experience such a unique Texas style attraction.
