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such mediocre reviews but thought the hotel and restaurant would both be a fun experience for the kiddos despite the outdated and tacky decor of the businesses.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

Based on other reviews this seemed to be a good value. The room turned out to be tired, kitschy and when I pulled out a bench under the clothes rack, totally dusty. The bed was squishy and the sheets were thin. Plus, the swinging doors to the bathroom were really annoying. We bungee corded one of them so it didn't... More

Dont stay if you're wanting a 5-star hotel, these rooms are basic but great! Completely cowboy themed from the bed throws to the toilet doors. They are comfortable & a good price, and with the Big Texan Steak Ranch opposite a great all-round experience.

It's a place with great potential. My room was clean, but not that clean. The staff is friendly. My room did have a Jacuzzi tub, which was nice. It's your typical roadside motel. If it wasn't for it's name, and the good restaurant they have, they probably wouldn't survive. Equivalent to a Super 8 and the like.
