We grew up in the Texas panhandle & the Big Texan is advertised all across the country, it's definitely worth a stop whether you eat or not.
There are 2 nice rv parks on the west side of Amarillo, one is the Oasis very nice with lots of concrete/asphalt mostly pull thrus, very few small shade trees so could be very hot in mid summer. The other is Ft Amarillo that's much smaller with some pull thrus for short term guest with mature shade trees & a very nice gift shop.

A follow up on Danny's comment above. If you do take I-70, keep in mind that there is something like 110 miles between Green River, Utah and Salina, Utah. They even have signs at some of the on-ramps stating that there are no services for that distance.
It's a dang beautiful drive, but make sure you have plenty of fuel.
