The Mother Road Adventure

Route 66, also known as “The Mother Road,” was opened November 11, 1926. The road runs through Chicago, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and ends in California. Route 66 is known for its many stops along the way, but it might be most well known for the stop at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo Texas.

Opened on Route 66 in 1960

Since its opening the Big Texan has become one of the most iconic stops on Route 66. Famous for great steaks and West Texas charm, founder R.J. Lee sought out to create the ultimate Texas experience for travels along the America’s Mother Road. His legacy lives on and still continues to grow to this day!
