  • You never forget your first trip to the Buc-ee's.
    Or your 32,495th trip because you've learned that a store with a beef jerky wall, endless toilets, and brisket sandwiches is the only place you ever need to shop at.

    My foreigner husband thought I was crazy when I insisted that we needed to stop at Buc-ees on our way to San Antonio. Two hours later he’d tried on cowboy hats, sampled his way through all the beef jerky (and bought several pounds), bought several magnets for family members and looked at all the kitschy clothing and home decor. Now it’s a regular stop on all our road trips for the coffee and bathrooms (yes, they’re that nice!!).

    I’m a native Texan so I’ve seen my fair share of Bucees. My family stopped at one last week after a quiet week on the beach and I was NOT READY. Nothing prepares you for the sheer chaos. It truly is the Disneyland of gas stations. The building was packed to the brim with people gazing out at the sites like tourists, children were roving in packs, and trying to order kolaches was a harrowing experience. If you’re visiting Bucees for the first time, go BEFORE you decompress because your stop will definitely put you into fight or flight mode.

    Buc-ees is an institution in Texas. The famously clean restrooms, beef jerky, nuggets, brisket (a staple of Texas barbecue), well over 75 gas pumps in most locations, home decor, novelty items, and unique clothing can all be found there. It's like a 7-11, a gas station, a specialized but cheap food place, and a Target merged in one.

      I have a friend that worked at a Buc-ee's years back, after Hurricane Ike, Buc-ee's and the liquor store were the ONLY and first two things to open in their town. It literally was WalMart for a couple of days while more power was getting restored. She worked like 18 hrs straight when it first opened, it was pretty insane. Want to say it was her and another gal and the manager to cover all 24 hrs, that was IT, and trying to make what they had in the store last while the mgr was working on getting trucks in with some goods/gas.
      Anybody from the area knows Mack is the embodiment of H-town ❤. He came from humble beginnings and doesn't mind giving back in time and money both, realizing it was the city that made him the business success he is today.

    That sums up a Buc-ee's. Good food, good merchandise, and definitely a stop to help you stretch on those long drives. Also, they are not kidding about both cleanliness of the restrooms and the size either. The only way you will ever see a line at a Buc-ee's restroom is if there are about 3 or 4 buses outside as well as the usual customers. Ok, it might be a slight exaggeration, emphasis on the word slight.
    And finally, as a food reviewer on TH-cam going by the handle of Strictly Dumpling said, it has better BBQ than you would find in New York City. Yeah, I know it isn't a high bar to clear, but it is still funny a Texas gas station can beat any BBQ place in New York City.

    Yeah I'm born and raised from dallas area...raised in the city next to the city that used to hold the trianin camp for the cowboys...and I was surrounded by football..my home city was literally called the cowboys...from the right spot I could see the spiral staircase from a infront of my house...but ever since Jerry Jones ran off Jimmy Johnson we've had what i call he Jerry Jones curse.

    I liked the part where that one guy got so happy he almost went to the Phantom Zone.

    As a guy from Cali, when I visited, the wall of jerky floored me. Sweet and Spicy is my favorite, but the Bohemian Garlic is bomb. Get the Ghost Pepper at your own peril.
    Yes I woke up early to go for a 30 minute drive just to get some brisket tacos. Yes I’d do it again.
    Didn’t even mention the fudge counter, or the fresh candies nuts. For if you’ve got a sweet tooth.
    Plus, the ONLY drink I get from the fountain is sarsaparilla. It’s like if root beer got a doctorate and won the Nobel Prize.

    Don't you dare sleep on Wawa (or Sheetz, for that matter).
    It is literally Hoagiefest RIGHT NOW!

    We were at a church in KY that had a Christian school. They’d just gotten a Buc-ee’s in their area and that’s where they took the kids for a field trip. 😂 They took us along, too, and we had a great time comparing and sharing everything we’d bought on the ride home.
    Side note: if you love chocolate and peanut butter, get an Overbite!!! It’s usually at the registers (if they’re not sold out). Best thing they have, no joke. We get it every time.
