    I've eaten there dozens of times over the years. In fact I ate there recently. If you want a truly disgusting steak dinner, eat the 72oz meal, which includes the shrimp ####tail, salad, potato and roll, all for $100 if not eaten in the time frame. If you want a truly great steak, eat one off the menu that will be the tastiest, mouth watering steak you'll ever eat.

    Do what you want to, but I can't imagine how tasty eating a 4.5 pound steak would be.

    Defiantly not a TBone... You'd have a tough time chewing and digesting the bone.

    I used to go in there every time I layed over in Amarillo (use their free shuttle service from any of the nearby truck stops), I enjoyed having a few beers or drinks at the bar after a filet or ribeye dinner with a glass of wine, but lately they have began gouging on beer and drink prices to the point I recently said no more. Seems like a jack and coke was $8.00 last time. And this comes from one who is not against paying premium price for a bit of atmosphere and to get away from the truck stops but that place aint THAT special and their steaks aren't THAT spectacular ... good, but not any better then say an outback or similar.

    It's my understanding that the 70 oz steak is a roast.
