The best restaurants Panhandle Plains

More than a restaurant, The Big Texan is one of the emblematic places of Route 66 (without being on its route) and an attraction in Amarillo. The restaurant room surprises first of all by its dimensions and the countless number of customers on two floors. A small stage allows to listen to some live music. Once at the table, daredevils can try their hand at the local contest, sit on a podium and swallow 72 oz (2.041 kg) of beef and its accompaniments in less than an hour! The bill is free for those who succeed.

As at the previous address, you can eat meat cooked at the barbecue.

The plates are copious, the varied menu, the nice staff and the relaxed atmosphere, the only small hic sticks to meat, which, as one says, sometimes lacks tenderness. And that's a pity when it's a house specialty. Apparently, poultry is excellent, and even if it's a sin to eat chicken when beef is on the map for a Respecte who respects itself, many are jumping out!

At lunchtime, the house offers a well-stocked buffet. In the evening it is lighter, with only salads and starters. From time to time, musicians come to the scene.
