Not this trip, but I have 15 or 20 times. I park out front, spend the night. I love the place. I get the man verses food special, 24 ounce top sirloin, medium rare to rare.
Place is a must go for me usually. Then I get the gigantic carrot cake slice. Take most of it with me back to truck.
Mark, I stayed at the Big Texan a few times. I never made an effort to eat the free steak dinner, but the place is great and the old fashioned knotty pine in the motel is just fine with me. I loved the live country music the last time I was there. Wow has it been that long ago? Time does fly by.
This holding area is only half full today, usually its packed full of cattle, its a weekend, weekdays its jammed full. What you see here is only 1/4 of the facility, its huge.
🙂 I always look forward to Amarillo, the whole state really. Like runnin down the 287, south to the 59 points south. Usually through Witchita falls, Dallas or Houston.
Exactly….on that recent trip to El Paso there were loads of cattle in a large holding pen off the McNary exit (on I-10). And I don’t think all those cows were from Africa if you know what I mean….
Are you gonna eat at the famous steak house in Amarillo?

Yes it does Bill, yes this place is old school country music, just a lot of fun inside place is jammed. They raise their own cattle.

You can smell this place for miles away.

Can get a bit smelly when you pass holding corrals for cattle and chicken farms. The Refineries can be unpleasant, too. 😉 😆
