Oh Buc-ee's, you have my heart. A friend of mine had told me about this place and I had no idea what was in store.
This place is as big as a Walmart, with countless gas pumps, and gas is easily close to a $1 less here than it is in Knoxville TN, crazy!
The best way for me to put this place is it's the Walmart of Gas Stations and in the best possible way. They started in Texas.
As you walk up they have all sorts of summer things for sale: grills, fire pits, pool accessories, etc.
When you get inside, welcome to Buc-ee's heaven! The first thing you see is their selection of glazed nuts: pecans, walnuts, and almonds. Their back wall is a beef lovers dream as it's one of the largest varieties of beef jerky I've ever seen. They have another large case of pastries, donuts and kolaches. Do yourself a favor and have a kolache (I like the jalapeño cheese and sausage one). You will hear someone yell "fresh brisket on the board," and when you turn around they are literally chopping fresh brisket and making sandwiches out of it. They have smoked Turkey, pulled pork, and brisket sandwiches along with other things like sausage on a stick. They have a large variety of snacks and ready to eat adult lunchables, cut up fruits, and ready to eat sandwiches. I have never been more impressed with a gas stations Italian already made sandwich. If none of what I mentioned interests then you can order off their menu at the back and they will make you something tasty.
Now, not only does Buc-cee's have food but they have apparel, mens, womens, childrens, dog accessories, cat accessories, hunting gear, home goods, etc. The list of what this place has is insane, and I'm 100% sold on Buc-cee's.
Don't get me started on their jams, seasoning and hot sauce selection.
Lastly for the bathrooms. Most times when you use a gas station bathroom you walk in and know you are going to walk into a mess of pee on the floor and all over the toilet. This is seriously the cleanest bathroom I've ever seen for a gas station or to be honest anywhere. Buc-cee's needs to train other places how to clean bathrooms because this place was spotless. They have someone in there constantly cleaning, and let me tell you if you need privacy, you have your own bathroom, you'll see what I mean in the pictures. I guess that's why they call them "World Famous Restrooms."
If I haven't sold you on Buc-cee's then go check it out for yourself. Every time I see a sign that says Buc-cee's I start screaming in the car knowing I'm getting close. I absolutely love Buc-cee's and I hope you will too.
One last thing, this place is dog friendly and they have a large area where if you are traveling you can take your pup to relieve itself, just make sure to pick it up, as the signs say.
Cheers & Enjoy! & don't forget exit 310!! read more
