The service we experienced, by our waiter Alex, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and made the evening a lot of fun. Food was a very mixed experience (averaged to a 3 since one of the entrees was a 1 star). Alex recommended the Tres Hombres beer with salt and lime. A good suggestion, as the great taste required a second beer. We started with a ½ order of the Mountain Oysters. We discovered a half order can feed about 6 people, so many went to waste. However, they were perfectly seasoned and lightly fried – delicious. We also tried the onion rings. They were some of the best onion rings we have had, but again too much for two people. It would have been a good amount of rings for 4. By the way, the dinner rolls are excellent. On to the entrées. The Porterhouse was very good. It was perfectly cooked medium rare and very tasty. It was accompanied by Beef Steak tomatoes and onions (not very good and would pass on this option) and green chili cream corn. The corn was very spicy, but a wonderful flavor. Finally, the only disappointing option of the evening. My wife had the Ft. Worth Cut ribeye (12 oz). It was ordered medium rare, but arrived almost paper thin, well done, and very greasy. It was not edible. She was full already and despite me wanting to alert our server and send it back, she did not want to complain. If that was all we had ordered, we would never come back. They need to have more finesse on the smaller cuts of steak. Her ribeye came with fried okra and a garden salad, both of which she enjoyed. For what we had prices were very reasonable. We sat in the upper level with a view of the poor souls who tried to eat the 72 oz steak challenge. All failed while we were there and were likely sorry for a few days after. We also enjoyed the live music. I think the upstairs is the best place unless you have a large group. Definitely an experience!

I really enjoyed this place, it is a very nice restaurant and invite to participate in the 72 oz Steak Challenge

My family and I stopped here to have a taste of the steak, and was not disappointed. Everything was delicious, and the service Shawna E. provided to us was wonderful. She was on top of everything, constantly checking if we needed anything, even though she already had provided to us everything we need to have a good meal/service. Unfortunately I was not able to get his name, but we also had a lovely gentleman come around the table and sang his personal song. Overall, thank you.

Thank you Big Texan for the experience!

Great food and great waitress!! 115 shawna E was the best we will be back! Thank you shawna for taking care of us today

It'd been a hundred years since we'd been to Big Texan. Shawna waited on us and treated us like old friends (reminded me of Judy back in high school, R.I.P.). She took 5 minutes to make sure we got a picture that we could brag about, and helped us get some great food that didn't stray too far from our "program". A cowboy on guitar and his friend-girl on fiddle serenaded us (sorry I can't remember their names)... fine people! Even the other guests at this place were straight-up friendly!
