I stayed here as a kid in the 80's and have great memories of this hotel and restaurant. Driving in it was just as I remembered over the top Texas! We were on a road trip with our two young children and I wanted them to share the same expierence I had as a child. Unfortunately nothing had changed from... More

No towels in the room, poor service and equally poor internet. Restaurant next door is good, but motel staff are very disinterested or a poorly trained in the needs of their customers. We stayed 2 nights but wouldn't go back.

We got a huge kick out of the Big Texan. The decor was a hoot! Mybusband loved that we had shutters instead of curtains. The downside is that you can hear your neighbors quite easily and you can really hear when the water when they shower. We were in the "horse hotel" at the back of the property and did... More

The place is very quirky. Loved the themed rooms and the design of the hotel. The rooms were big. The restaurant was a lot of fun with the completions food was good. Also an excellent gift shop. The beds were comfy sleep quality was good. Everywhere you looked around the hotel inside and out there was something themed and quirky... More

Didn't eat here and won't after the rude lady at the hotels front desk treated us. I wasn't so interested in the steak challenge since it has such mediocre reviews but thought the hotel and restaurant would both be a fun experience for the kiddos despite the outdated and tacky decor of the businesses. First concern was the inability to... More

We stayed here for 1 night, motel is clean, very basic, but with really cool texas theme and decor! We loved it! Staff is great and we even got upgraded for room upstairs with no extra fee. They gave us 2$ off voucher for breakfast in Steak ranch. I would recommend it if you looking for cool cowboy/texas theme!

We stayed here for the second time as we enjoyed the motel and the steakhouse last year. The steakhouse was exceptional as before, the staff were great and the steaks are the best we've ever had ( to die for) BUT....... the motel this year was very poor. The shower dial was hanging out of the wall, and most of... More

We stopped over at the Big Texan whilst driving through America. It didn't disappoint! It was tacky, kitschy, cowboy-y, it was great. Our room was all cow hides and swinging shutters, with wooden fixtures and good amenities. From the horse hotel to the doggy corral, this place has it covered. Staff were nice, too. We ate at the restaurant and... More

We really had a great time at Big Texan Motel & Steak Ranch, one of our stops along our Route 66 road trip. Yeah, it's kitschy but it's charming and fun (basic, not a 5 star). Our room was clean and we enjoyed the cowboy/old west theme throughout our room as well as the complex. There is even a Horse... More

You are paying for the character of this hotel as one part of it's facade is like a Wild West Town. Rooms are ok but it is definitely kept in buisiness by the restaurant next door - Big Texan Steak Ranch. Here you can do the 72oz stake challenge which is a mega challenge. I had a regular fillet steak... More
