I was impressed that the attendants were always near and easy to find. Even if you don't want to shop, the aisles are full of trinkets and actual items that are both gift worthy and practical. And the food! I really love the breakfast tacos and the tater tots. The items were fresh and they kept refilling them as they ran out- which seems impossible with the sheer number of people grabbing them. The standout for me however, was the milk chocolate peanut butter buc-ee logo chocolate bar. It was pure joy! The absolute best thing I had eaten in ages when it comes to chocolate. A great stop and worthy destination!

My second time ever at this Buc-ee's after many years and it did not disappoint!…read more First of all - THE BRISKET TACO IS BOMB! We came during breakfast and we only got to try the brisket taco, tater tots, and Dr Pepper slushie but the taco alone was phenomenal. They had fresh brisket that they cut and then made the tacos right in front of us. If you're able to grab one of the hot and freshly cut brisket tacos for breakfast they are so juicy and good!! The rest of the store is amazing too! Of course we couldn't leave without a couple of souvenirs like every flavor of the jerky, Buc-ee's plushie keychain, pen and magnet. Everything was surprisingly affordable for branded merch! The staff were also very friendly and helpful even though there were so many customers. Definitely a great attraction and would come again!

Oh, The Galleria! My ex-husband is from Houston and I've…read morebeen to The Galleria many, many times. In fact, I started going long before I knew my husband. My dad also lived in Houston and we'd often do shopping or eating at the mall. My daughter (who is now 30) loved (& still does) skating at the ice rink during the holidays. It's a magically fun experience. The Galleria is always incredibly decorated for the holidays. I still get to Houston 1-2 times a year and always enjoy visiting The Galleria. The Galleria itself has not only the ice rink but office space, two hotels, lots of places to eat, and shopping. The retail offerings range from shops like H&M, Macy's, and Nordstrom to high-end luxury shops like Gucci & Chanel. We were there just a few months ago and it was just as fun and exciting as my first visit! Gang, there are so many stores here. Like crazy amounts (a few hundred). It's very large and easy to navigate and of course gets extremely busy during peak times. A must-visit for locals and tourists alike.

Shopping can be hit or miss, and on this particular day, it was definitely a miss. My friends and I…read moreare dedicated bargain shoppers, and despite our best efforts, the Houston Galleria wasn't giving up any deals. With only about an hour before leaving Houston, our shopping mission was more of a speed run than a leisurely browse. Even without scoring any purchases, the Houston Galleria remains an impressive destination. The moment you step inside, you experience bright lights, multiple levels of stores, and a steady stream of shoppers that create an energetic, bustling atmosphere. Beyond shopping, the mall offers entertainment options such as its iconic indoor ice-skating rink, making it easy to spend an entire day there. One of the Galleria's biggest strengths is its variety. Luxury retailers like Chanel and Louis Vuitton share space with more accessible brands such as Banana Republic and American Eagle, offering something for nearly every budget and style. Whether you're on a focused shopping mission or simply window-shopping, there's plenty to explore...even if, in our case, we left empty-handed. The dining options are equally diverse, ranging from food-court favorites to sit-down restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and Shake Shack to Chic-fil-a. While we didn't find the bargains we were hoping for, our fast-and-furious shopping adventure was filled with laughter and great conversation, and the kind of fun that comes from spending time with good friends. Sometimes spending quality time with friends is the best find of all.

They had the eco-friendly gas, diesel, gas, and all three grades from your regular mid grade and premium. The regular started off at $$2.49 per gallon, which is a quarter more than Costco in Cypress

Additionally, the volume of food items is crazy. They have a ton of coolers filled with drinks.

Feng Cha has is my go to spot for their signature Crème Brûlée Dirty Boba--their milk drink with…read morecheese foam, lactose free milk, brown sugar boba and caramelized sugar crust on top. The store has an app with rewards, drive thru, and kiosk inside to place your order. Just be careful on selecting your options as the drinks can get pricey if you click everything. Also note that the drive thru intercom does not work, so you will have to remember the menu to place an order at the pick-up window. The drinks in general take a while to make and depending on who is working the counter, can be inconsistent. Still a great spot to grab a milk drink or any of their fruity drinks like their Strawberry Overload or Mango Green Tea.

I also tried the Bursting Dragon fruit drink, and I'd highly recommend it. The staff was friendly as well.

I ordered a matcha and a blueberry muffin, and both were actually really good. The café side was enjoyable and the décor throughout the space is very pretty and well done. The other half of the café is dedicated to dog items like clothes, carriers, strollers, grooming products, and dog treats. While the selection was interesting, I felt most of the items were overpriced, especially since they weren't designer brands. I was really excited to check this place out since I'm getting a new puppy soon, but I honestly didn't find anything I wanted to purchase. Overall, it's a nice spot to stop in for a drink and admire the space, but the retail side just didn't do it for me.

For most first timers, this is one of the hardest and most frustrating superchargers to find. If…read moreyou are among the Tesla owners who despise coming here, I can't blame you. Let me save you to the trouble: 1) Enter from Alabama St by turning right into the garage after crossing the Galleria overpass. 2) Upon entering, follow the path and pass the first bank of escalators (to the right) and look for the entrance to the lower level (on the left), which will be the first option to turn. 3) Take the first left and follow the guided path to the lower level (LL2) and one should see the chargers in a relatively empty lot. There are less cars during the daytime, but beware of the rain puddles that tend to collect in handicap spots. If there is a long charge ahead, plug in the vehicle and use the restrooms / walk around by heading into green bank of escalators directly in front of the chargers. Once you're done finished with the charging, follow the exit signs, which will lead to a narrow alleyway. Turn into the alleyway (slowly) and look for any oncoming cars / cars turning from the overhead parking lot. You'll find yourself back on Alabama St and fully charged. You're welcome?
