The AAA auto club once did a write up about the place. I was always in the South-eastern part of texas (when I lived there) and never made it out north. I remember the pictures of those steaks cooking -- reminded me of the Flintstones Brontosaurus steaks.

Dont they have that at Lone Star too? Anyway, at Lone Star, you don't have any sides but have limited time to eat it: 1 hour....it's actually pretty funny how people who do finish the steak have their picture taken and posted on the wall of shame...and obviously...not fame...lol...

Personnally...I never actually witnessed this event but I'm guessing it's gotta be good...lol

BTW: After a 16oz...im out...so props to those who can handle 36...that's a lotta cow for 1 man...

This reminds me of a HILARIOUS episode of the Simpsons where Homer becomes a trucker. Funny stuff.

The car pictured on the website was awesome! The guy picked us up from the airport and took us to the restaurant. It was an old cadillac limo with giant horns on the hood (like Boss Hog's car). I asked the old guy if I could drive it...he said no.

Best I could do was a tall Guinness, potato, salad, and a beautiful, medium-rare 32 oz. Porterhouse at Texas Roadhouse Grill in Killeen, TX last time I was out there.

I felt like I was going to pop for like two days.

Wow, some very-very big people on that list (from the web-site) have eaten that steak. Some small ones too, but not too common.

A good range was noted too...one dude was 5'6" and 480 pounds, while another guy was 5'7" and 150 pounds.
