In 1960, R. J. “Bob” Lee opened The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo on Route 66, the “Mother Road. Its distinctive architecture soon became recognized across the Mother Road as a good stopping place for great steaks grilled over an open flame. Not only are they famous for their steaks but their Motel as well.
The 54-unit, AAA-rated property is conveniently located adjacent to the Big Texan Steak Ranch on Interstate 40. We’re less than 5 minutes from Rick Husband International Airport, with easy access to the highway and all the area’s attractions. Designed to resemble a main street in an old west town, the Big Texan Motel combines the comforts and conveniences of today with the ambiance and decor of the late 1800s.
The Big Texan will be sponsoring our accommodation during our visit to Amarillo and we are so excited. We even hear that they were featured on Conan O’Brien.
