Big Texan Steak Ranch
Amarillo, TX

Got Beef?  If you have an appetite and are up for a challenge then this is the place for you.  This place is the home of a HUGE 72 ounce steak that costs absolutely nothing - as long as you can eat the entire thing in 1 hour (plus baked potato, shrimp cocktail, dinner roll and salad).  Many have tried, few have succeeded.  If you think you've got what it takes then you too can ask that time honored question, "Where's the beef?"
For miles on I-40 in either direction there are billboards advertising the free 72 ounce steak, available only to the bold.  And it is well worth the drive to get there.  The Steak Range, in addition to the Big Texan Motel is a must for Texas tourism.  It's a huge place with great unique displays, live rattlesnakes, live music and everything else you could want.
