While traveling along Route 66 we planned to stop for dinner at the Big Texan Steak Ranch. When looking for accomodations we came across the motel next door. How could you pass up this opportunity to overnight in the old western town. Enjoy dinner and cocktails at the Big Texan Steak Ranch, then stumble back to your room. No need... more

Bathroom filthy. Carpet in room almost black from filth. Restaurant highly overrated and over priced. Food definitely not worth the price. Steak had too much fat and was tough. Potato hard as a brick. more

This place is kinda cheesy, but it's cute if you like that sort of thing - rustic, rough log hewn furniture, cowhide bedspreads, Texas flag shower curtain, old fashioned window shutters with wooden lock bolts, etc. The motel is built to look like an old western town and has some good photo opportunities. We stayed in the newer section, and... more

We arrived at the Big Texan Motel and found that the 49. room rate I was quoted when I initially reserved a roomwas incorrect. It was actually 79. a night. We thought by looking at the outside that it might be a fun place so we stayed anyway. The motel is themed like an old western town, inside and out.... more

OK, I could not get past the flies in the room. There were at least 9 flies at the window trying to get out. No kidding. Then I notice a fly swatter sitting there. Because apparently this is typical! I tried to killed them all but was just so grossed out. I did feel that it was somewhat overpriced by... more

We stayed in the Big Texan Motel for one night. The room was not very clean. There was a very large storm that caused power to go for quite a while. We tried to reason with the desk clerk about our child with Asthma, he needs A/C to sleep. Clerk was not willing to help with even calling to find... more

As my husband just said, it's like the "state fair" of restaurants. We stayed here because we like to eat at the Big Texan and it looked hilarious. It was. We were fortunate enough to be given the honeymoon suite. I'll attach pictures. If you want to stay somewhere nice with no road noise, this is not the place. But... more

Oh my God! We went and had dinner at the Big Texan and I ordered a 16 oz Strip. It was deliciously flavored, but I only got to eat about 5 oz of it due to the fat and facia. The manager came to the table and say the huge pile of inedible waste on my plate and did not... more

We stayed here in July on our Route 66 trip. The rooms were okay, nothing special, but clean enough, although the mattress was too hard. But it is the whole kitchy appearance that is the appeal. The restaurant was still crazy busy on a Sunday night at 9:00 pm when we arrived. The food was good, a little pricey. Our... more
