Its 72-ounce steak challenge is the draw: finish the steak and all the sides within one hour and the meal is free. You can also sample beer from the on-site brewery and browse a gift shop stocked with Route 66 and Amarillo souvenirs. The property has a motel, cabins and an RV park if you want to stay the night.
