In reply to Milton Hill. We are honored to know that we have made this type of impact. For us, the visit to the Big Texan was more about taking in the experience, while the food merely served as an added bonus. Be sure to wander around and check out all of the artifacts. Travel safely!

For many years, I lived in New Mexico with family in Oklahoma. During that time, I was through Amarillo an average of four times annually – for two decades. I have driven by The Big Texan numerous times without ever stopping. This piece has finally convinced me to stop when I am next in Amarillo – and I have been reading about this restaurant for years. I, also, had never heard of the Savoy Grill connection. Thank you!

In reply to Karen Warren. So true. It's certainly the kind of place you would expect to take away leftovers.

I’m not a steak eater, which is just as well because I feel full just at the thought of that massive portion! I noticed the large portions last time I ate in a western-style diner in the US, and really struggled to manage them…

In reply to Tam Warner Minton. We can completely understand. Texas is definitely over the top.

Just the thought of that much meat makes me want to go vegetarian again! I’ve lived in Texas for 30 years, but I never get over how BIG they like everything down here!

In reply to Wendy. They do serve chicken, as that was Crystal's choice for dinner. Not sure about fish options in the Panhandle of Texas.

We traveled Route 66 in 2018; it was a fun experience. I did not find anything that reminded me of home though.

I can definitely see how someone who worked in the restaurant industry in Kansas City would open a steak restaurant elsewhere. It looks like a fun atmosphere. Do they serve chicken or fish, for the non-red meat eaters?

In reply to Elaine Masters. It's well worth the trip just to take it all in.

Couldn’t take the challenge either but I’d love to stop in. Funny about that veggie platter.
