Barn-sized steak houses?

A long time ago, I visited Houston's Cypress Creek area and I was treated to a visit to a steak house that was the size of a barn. The ceiling was maybe 30-40 feet above the dining area, and the dining furniture was I think wooden picnic tables. The portions were huge and the prices were low. It was explained to me as a Texas tradition and that many other such places existed and it seemed like a tradition that would last forever. However I have subsequently had Texans tell me they've never heard of such barn-sized steak restaurants, and certainly not steak places with affordable prices. Do such barn-sized steak houses still exist in Texas and if not, maybe in other states?
