    Very tasty but must eat sparingly
    Vivian H.

    This was my Buc-ee's virgin experience and I had never been in one, until about a month ago. Everyone that has been tells me I must go, so I did. And, my Buc-ee's cherry has now officially been popped. The experience was truly a unique one and its like a gas station convenience store on steroids and I, of course, was completely overwhelmed. I came in here during the July 4th weekend and there were people everywhere. I think I probably have some level of social anxiety because all I was trying to do the entire time in the store was to get away from people, which proved almost impossible. I did wander the entire store and I probably spent close to an hour here. Talk about a place where it traps your money, this would be it. I ended up getting a jar of pickled okra (because I have never had this) and also a bag of fried cajun pecans. Both items were very good and still enjoying them back on the West Coast. I think I had one of their ready made brisket sandwich and it was ok, I'm not too much into BBQ so it wasn't like mindblowing for me. I had a potato salad too and that was good. I just wanted a diet soda for my 2 hour drive back and I guess Buc-ee's doesnt carry fountain diet. Does that make any sense? I was pretty impressed with their many many gas pumps which I believe is their claim to fame, but, what I needed was to clean my windshield from all the bugs and I could not seem to locate this windshield washing station that apparently exists. While it was good to experience a place like this, I think for me, it was sensory and capitalist overload for me. And, we wonder why we have an obesity and chronic disease epidemic...places like these enable us to be on our worst behavior and something felt inherently wrong for me to be in here. Call me a masochist, but I enjoy torturing myself running miles just to burn off enough calories in a day to not gain weight and a place like this conflicts with the workout junkie in me. Hey, we all need vices, mines just happens to be sweating it out and breathing heavily. I'd return to a place like this if there was one closer but I wouldn't just make a special trip for this place. I have no self control, I'd be here all the time.

    Buc-ee's is the new Disney World, at least on road trips. It's a must do on family vacations, but I visited here on a business trip because some coworkers wanted to go at lunch. One coworker who is a local said it is usually the cheapest gas in the area, and he braves it for that reason. Pro Tip: If you are getting gas, please move your car from the pumps when you go into the store. Buc-ee's is sensory overload for me, so I was mainly here for the bathroom and to grab something to drink. The bathrooms are the cleanest you will find on the interstate with numerous stalls and hand sanitizer outside. My coworkers love the brisket, fudge, tacos, and the slurpees. Save room in your suitcase and come prepared to spend some money here because you'll want to try everything- especially if you're a first timer.

    Kentucky Buc-ee's was a must stop on my recent trip & of course I bought some clothes items! I collect shirts from each location I stop at. Everyone wonders what the hype is all about. This place is amazing & you can spend so much time (& money) in there! Plus never having to wait in gas lines, being there are 120 pumps on site. Their fudge is so good, as are their sandwiches & jerky. Must try their Beaver Nuggets as well!

    What a place! There was a line to get in, but still pumps available. Be sure you drive past the first few pumps! They have everything you can imagine to eat and drink, lots of items for sale and very clean bathrooms.

    This place cracks me up.. gotta stop in and check it out every time you pass it. Food is great, don't knock the BBQ products, pulled pork and the brisket is the bomb. Bathrooms are clean but unimaginative. I thought that this was their claim to fame. lol Just go, it's a great way to take a break and laugh about the area, fill up and even get a car wash. If you live near one consider working there cuz they pay well

    Stopped in for a brisket sandwich and was pleasantly surprised I could just get brisket alone. I also got beaver tots. Everything was hot and fresh. Gotta love a Buc-ee's stop. We got the cookies, cashews, and cotton candy for road snacks. The cookies were a little dry but still okay. The cashews were amazing, you could really taste the vanilla. The sweet and spicy bbq and chicken sauce were both pretty tasty. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. I liked the red and green lights to see if they were occupied or vacant. They were very busy but still efficient.

    Buc-ee's in Smiths Grove, Kentucky is wonderful! We came to Cave City for a few days and drove about 15 miles further south on 65 just to go to Buc-ee's. It was Sunday June 7, 2026 around 9:00 am when we arrived. It was a mad house. We turned in on the lane that takes you directly to the gas pumps. We were driving for a while and just decided to park so we could go in and use the restroom and get something to eat. After using the spotless restroom and cleaning up, we went to get our food. As I said, the place was an absolute madhouse, but it was good madness. To see so many people packed in one place with smiles and looks of joy on their faces. Great time's. I know it's just a rest stop but it's so much more. This place just makes people happy. It was still breakfast time so they were still serving the incredible brisket tacos. I absolutely love just the brisket taco with their green salsa. It's amazing! My taco was packed with brisket and comes on the fresh made tortillas they make right there in the store. My wife loves the brisket and egg taco just plain the way it comes. They are equally as good and also loaded with brisket and a good amount of egg. After getting our food, we went and got a few of the new Buc-ee's America 250 merchandise. We just got a couple of t-shirts and a fridge magnet. There is anything you can imagine in the merchandise section. After checking out, we went to our car to eat our food. Sitting there eating we just watched a non stop line of cars pulling in. It was like it was timed perfectly. Every vehicle seemed like they were spaced out the perfect distance from one another. It was like it was choreographed. We sat there for about a half hour watching this. It was hilarious. When we finished eating, we went to fuel up before getting back on the road. This particular day the gas was $3.47 a gallon. When we got back to Cave City, the gas was $3.74. Even with all of those cars coming in, there was no waiting to get to a gas pump. Buc-ee's is a fun place to stop in and grab a snack, have some awesome brisket, pulled pork, or beef jerky. It's just a wonderful place.

    It's big! It's got clean bathrooms and lots of gas pumps. It's a Buc-ee's! We stopped at this Buc-ee's while traveling for gas, a bathroom break, and a chance to get out and stretch our legs. Buc-ee's was founded in Texas in 1982 and has grown from a small convenience store and gas station into a chain of enormous travel centers that have become destinations themselves. Even though there are still relatively few Buc-ee's locations compared with most major convenience store chains, the individual locations are much larger than the typical gas station. This one was easy to get to and, like the other Buc-ee's locations we have visited, had a huge number of gas pumps, so getting fuel was not a problem. Once inside, it was pretty crowded, but that seems to be normal for Buc-ee's because of their popularity. The staff we encountered was friendly, and the store was clean and well maintained. There is an enormous selection of food, including their well-known BBQ and brisket sandwiches, jerky, Beaver Nuggets, bakery items, snacks, drinks, and plenty of other choices if you are looking for something to eat along the road. There is also a huge selection of Buc-ee's merchandise, clothing, souvenirs, outdoor items, and other things that make it fun just to walk around and see what they have. Of course, one of the main reasons we like stopping at Buc-ee's is the restrooms, and these were large, clean, and lived up to the reputation. Overall, this was another very good Buc-ee's stop. It was a little crowded, but with plenty of gas pumps, great bathrooms, friendly staff, lots of food choices, and plenty of room to walk around and stretch your legs, it was exactly what we needed during our travels. Enjoy!

    Always love a Buc-ees! Was traveling to Kentucky to visit the Mammoth Caves National Park and was pleasantly surprised to find this one so close by! Lucky me! We're from California and visiting Buc-ee's is always a treat! This one was just as good as the ones I've been to in Texas. Spotless bathrooms, delicious barbecue sandwiches, gas pumps galore, and friendly store clerks make for an experience like no other! Do yourself a favor and don't pass it by!

    Buc-ee's was a pretty crazy place! With over 100 gas pumps, a huge store which seems like they have everything. I had a barbecue beef sandwich. That was delicious and fresh. Huge coffee station. I walked in and out with a huge smile on my face because of the fun atmosphere and the friendly staff. Definitely recommend stopping in and check out this place.

    We are traveling and pulling a 35 foot travel trailer behind our truck. Is there a place for us to park? Can we pull around easily?

    Yes! There are many places to park a trailer. You can easily pull around. I'd recommend you stay to the outside of the gas pumps.

    What's the phone number?

    The Smiths worked very well as a band…read more They don't work as a truck stop. Ew. The gas prices here are higher than at a lot of the stations in this area of Kentucky, so already you're starting out at a disadvantage with three stars at the most. Then you get into the fact that everybody is smoking inside so I walked in for probably less than 2 minutes and in that time I ended up smelling like cigarettes so now we're down to two stars and that's a stretch. Then look at the fact that the bathrooms are so disgusting, covered in piss and racist graffiti against the Indian owners of the place and that the whole place is extremely poorly kept and that you get watched by a hawk by the guy running it and that the parking lot is one huge pothole and all things considered it's really hard for me to give it more than one star. But I'm glad it was here because I got to use the bathroom and in the circumstances that's what really mattered. But ewwww.

    While this gas station is very convenient (its right off I-65), it looks a little old and dingy…read more The gas pumps are up-to-date and the little store seemingly was well-stocked with junk foods as such. The one-stall restroom looked clean, but the dinginess of the place made it "feel" unclean. I probably will not stop here again unless it's absolutely necessary...as it was this time. Ok, I can't be this harsh on the place. It was small, clean and, it felt safe. What more can you ask of a gas station? I will change my initial 2 stars to 3 stars.
