The Big Texan Steak Ranch & Brewery

The Big Texan Steak Ranch & Brewery, located in Amarillo, TX, is a casual, iconic eatery on Route 66 that has pet-friendly outdoor seating in the beer garden, the "Dawgy Corral." Please note that table service isn't available, so Fido will need to wait outside when you go in to order. Known as a good stopping place for great steaks grilled over an open flame, they are also home to the 72 ounce steak challenge where diners have one hour to eat an entire meal of shrimp cocktail, baked potato, salad, with roll, butter, and of course the 72 oz. steak. Their menu also offers mountain oysters, fried chicken, burgers, quesadillas, BBQ, and more. You can wash it all down with one of their house-brewed beers like the Honey Blonde Lager, Pecan Porter or a Whoop Your Donkey. Visit Website

    Bad location depending on moods of staff

    I called 45 minutes before arriving on a very long road trip, I was told the dogs would enter front door yes they were welcome and they would go to back patio and to go order would be placed at bar. Upon arriving I walked in to make sure there were outside tables my daughter followed with the dogs at which time she was rudely greeted by [Redacted] who basically scolded my daughter regarding her dogs being kept close ( dogs are well trained and were doing nothing) and then another patron loving the dogs asked if he could pet them when [Redacted] scolded the patron...I can assure you the dogs were better behaved than JILL who refused to provide me her title but I can assure you good food or not this will be my last stop here. I'm also sorry we missed the welcoming kindness I expected to see in Texas..what [Redacted] didn't know we were traveling to take daughter moving across country with her pets and had my father n law who lost his wife a few months ago...thanks again [Redacted]!

    a big hastle

    as posted previously, the back patio is where dogs are accepted, but you have to walk through the lobby to get there, and other patrons gave us grief the whole way. There is NO service. We had to get our order from the bar inside, leaving the dogs at the table outside. It was just a crappy overpriced experience that I would not go to again. I wish I'd skipped it.

    Great food, always crowded

    dogs are allowed on the patio, but you have to go inside through the store to get to the patio. you must order your food to go to eat back there. there are lots of stray cats on the patio so watch out for that. it’s a very busy place so the dogs don’t get a bowl or anything, but you can ask for a plastic cup and fill with water. the food is delicious and there are lots of fun spots for photos

    Truly Pet Friendly!

    Stopped in for lunch on cross country road trip and we're very surprised we could bring our 7-pound Shih Tzu inside, in her stroller of course. Great food and awesome service. Shout out to Christian!

    To Go Dining and Outdoor Seating

    Dogs are allowed only on patio/beer garden. When we were here you could order to go and sit out on the patio to eat.
