I had heard so much about Buc-ee's online but nothing could have prepared me for this experience. I am a huge fan. Who knew a gas station could offer such a wide assortment of food, merchandise, and home goods? We tried some of the fresh jerky from the counter, some brisket sandwiches (get the XXL one), a banana pudding, pralines, and candied pickle chips. The candied pickle chips were insanely good with the brisket sandwich. We need those in Canada. I have never seen them before and am obsessed. There are so many flavours of jerky. I recommend them all quite frankly. The pralines were good. The banana pudding was more vanilla than banana but it wasn't bad. I just love Buc-ee's and will actively go out of my way to visit in the future. read more

If you are traveling on the interstate system in the southern US (mainly in Texas) you have seen signs for this place. As a matter of fact, you start seeing signs more than a hundred miles from each location. What you will find if you get off the interstate at one of these is not just a place, but it's an experience:) The first thing you will find is a parking lot that's as crowded as a major city at rush hour. Then you will find about 120 fueling stations that you can fill your vehicle with usually the cheapest gas/diesel in the area. The newer ones even have electric charging stations. Then you get to go inside. Most of the new stores are about 79,000 square feet of food, beverages, snacks, and all kinds of touristy stuff. The folks working there will greet you and seem to be happy to be there. If you look at some of the sign's advertising for workers, you will see one of the reasons why. Salary at the lowest end starts at about $27 per hour and go all the way up to several hundred thousand dollars for a store director annual salary. If you need to use the facilities, head on back to the back of the store. You walk into a huge bathroom with enough spaces so that you probably will not have to wait. On top of that, the restrooms are so clean! Will I return? Definitely! read more

As many others have said, it's Buc-ee's. It's a great stop if you want clean restrooms, fresh jerky, fudge and various snacks. However, the brisket is horrible. I know people always recommend getting the sandwiches, but they only reason they're tolerable is because of the sheer volume of sauce they put on them to mask the flavor of the brisket. Yesterday, I bought some sliced brisket so I could have a carb-free snack on the road. I had no idea how bad the brisket really is. There is smoke flavor, but no bark or smoke ring, so that means they add smoke flavor to it. The fat is not rendered into the meat; it's just nasty globs of fat. I was able to get a couple of bites down, but had to toss the rest because it was making me feel nauseated. If you're a tourist, please don't eat the barbecue here. If nothing else, there's a Rudy's nearby which is far superior to Buc-ee's, though still mediocre by Texas standards. read more

Buc-ee's is a gas station/restaurant/convenient store/rest stop/bakery/tourist destination that epitomizes Texas. It's big, friendly, busy, and a must stop if you're driving on a Texas highway. Buc-ee's is also known for having super clean bathrooms, which makes it a must visit. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Facility, Return) Atmosphere - If Walmart and 7/11 had a baby, it would be Buc-ee's. If you're visiting on a weekend, expect Buc-ee's to be very busy, inside and out. As you walk in, you'll be amazed that this is not your ordinary gas station. Buc-ee's has a BBQ station, sweets (like fudge), a section dedicated to beef jerky, drinks, merch, and even clothes. And in the center there will be (lots of) people lined up to use their clean bathrooms. 1 Star. Service - The staff is very nice and extremely efficient. There are tons of people to help you check out at each entrance, so what looks like a long line moves extremely fast. Seriously, you get in and out in no time. 1 Star. Facility - The BBQ sandwiches are legit, the Beaver Nuggets make a fun gift, you can buy any snack item you want, and the ICEE machines are always full. But for me, I never leave Buc-ee's without buying the Candied Pecans. The sweet, warm nuts are packaged in a paper cone that fits perfectly in my hand, so it's a perfect snack on the last leg home. But I can't stress this enough, the Buc-ees bathrooms are very clean. There are multiple stalls, so you never have to wait long. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I look forward to visiting Buc-ee's on every single road trip I take. Even if I don't need gas or need to use the bathroom, Buc-ee's is a welcome stop. 1 Star. read more

Mandatory stop on every opportunity. Learned from my previous visit that arriving later is better than early. More selections as far as BBQ sandwiches! Finally tried the Three Meat and Carolina Pulled Pork sandwiches. So good! Loaded up with gifts like jerky, beaver nuggets, coffee, and shirts. Problem is figuring how to pack it all into a luggage. Wish there were dining tables available but understand the possible reasons behind it. On the plus side, appreciate the workers being proactive on helping me find a few things. Heavily busy but it's difficult to stay clear from. read more

Buc-ees is my go to when I'm on a long road trip in Texas. The gas prices are reasonable, the bathrooms are clean and the food is great. I usually get the Three Meat Sandwich which includes BBQ brisket, smoked turkey and smoked sausage. It always hits the spot. The store is huge and there's tons of snacks, clothes and other items you can buy. If there is something you need, you can probably find it here. read more

This was the busiest Buc-ee's I have ever been to. I seriously am like most Texan's who build a stop at Buc-ee's into my travel road stops, so I have been to several, but I have NEVER seen one where finding a parking spot or a pump available was an issue, until this visit. It was unbelievable and my three other travel companions all thought the same thing! Nonetheless, the place was well-stocked and the bathrooms were spotless. I am not quite sure how they do it; but this store was definitely on it! I got some corn-nuts and a drink and even though the lines were all pretty long, they staff here handled it all pretty well and. Moved us customers right along! read more

Buc-ee's - Gas Stations Near Me - Temple, Texas

I feel for the people who have never made it to a Buc-ee's. They're expanding and will eventually be somewhat close to you. And I don't understand the people who don't understand the appeal. It's a destination! Walmart meets Cracker Barrel with barbecue and jerky and a thousand gas pumps. You have to try it. I've now been to more than a dozen across the United States and I still get excited to step inside. Beaver Nuggets. Clean restrooms. Jerky. Fudge. A large brass beaver out front. It's something else and the Buc=ee's in Temple fits the brand well. I had a great time and look forward to the next one! [Review 379 of 2026 - 696 in Texas - 25564 overall] read more

Nasty Nuggets!! We typically LOVE Buc-ee's... we have "donated" a LOT of $$ over the years... from BBQ & Chips to Candy & Fudge... oh... and all the GAS! lol And recommended people give them a try... This location was busier than I had EVER seen ANY Buc-ee's!! There were LINES to the restrooms! But they're always clean, so I get it! This weekend, we thought that after all these years, we would try their "Nuggets"... they were completely Styrofoam!! So bad! Heading back home, we wanted to return them... we weren't sure if they were really Styrofoam... or simply stale; either way, they were nasty! We didn't want a refund, but an exchange for one of the many OTHER Buc-ee's products we love! They said, "No Refunds; we can only give you the same product!" I said that's ridiculous... they're nasty/stale... after a little back-and-forth, they (Ryan) agreed to a merchandise exchange... I waited for my husband to gather items, got back in line... and started over (with Carson) ... I pointed to Ryan and said HE already agreed to the exchange... so HE called a Manager... HE came over, started the convo all over again... then he said, "Let me get someone" (Mind you, it's a $7 BAG OF NUGGETS)... ANOTHER "MANAGER" came over ... "Can I help you?" I said, "What do you mean... Can you help me? I'm sure you have already been given the information... Do you really want me to start over?", She then said, "Okay, we don't give refunds; Corporate won't let us... bla bla bla." I said, it's a BAD/stale product, and I have already been told that you would do a mdse exchange..." She argued with me (with the person who gave the okay... RIGHT THERE!). I said, listen, I have all day; I don't want another bag of nuggets... they're nasty (or stale). Either way, I am not asking for a full refund... I am purchasing other items; it can go toward the purchase. And, additionally, if YOU need to call a 5th person (shocking, right? A $7 issue... so many approval levels), I have all day; this is BAD business, Buc-ee's... and I am shocked that we are even having this conversation... Where's the signage reflecting 'NO REFUNDS ON ANY PRODUCTS'? No one would answer the question! The manager (didn't get her name) finally said ok.. I will just have to argue with corporate about it... I said, that's silly, give them MY information; I'll talk to them!! Then she leaned over and whispered to the cashier ... "Let's just make it a write-off". OMG ... there are SOOOOO MANY levels of poor customer service represented here (Ryan was the original person who gave the okay, then we waited in line to pay for other items, and THAT cashier told us no refunds; we tried to explain what Ryan said... so HE called a manager). Then THAT Manager called another Manager... Buc-ee's, get it together! That few-minute HORRIBLE transaction was NOT worth a POOR REview, AND all the business we will no longer give! I'll answer... NO, it's NOT worth it! Let's see how much you REALLY care!! Give me a reply.....

"Willy Wonka Walmart" is how I describe this energetic, bright, and well-organized superstore full of inexpensive junk you think you need, all because its masterful marketing linked it to a rodent. Plus everyone, including the workers, are happy to be there and there's no long lines. Lots of merch and food. I got a foam baseball, a flashlight key chain, a cooler bag, my $1.19 XL Diet Dr. Pepper, and Beaver Nuggets for the neighbors, while the wife nabbed Mini Waffle Cones and Butter Toffee Pecans, which I highly recommend. This being my third time at a Buc-ee's, I was smart enough to go hungry and got a brisket sandwich from the busy busy foodworkers. Once second largest at 60,000 square feet, this particular Buc-ee's, the relief point between Dallas and Austin, ranks 11th in size out of 54. A mix of Outlaw Country with the busy Donki stores of Japan, I affectionately call these a "Delta Dawn Quixote." read more

Wednesday, 6-03-2026: I am in absolute awe of Buc-ee's! You could say I'm obsessed! I could spend hours in here. It has everything a hungry, thirsty, and weary traveler/visitor/tourist needs and then some! We purchased drinks and their assorted hot nuts: cashews, pecans, and almonds. The Beaver chips and their key lime pudding were so good. If you happen upon a Buc-ee's do stop & do a look see! You'll be glad you did! read more

Wow! I don't know why I was in Temple but I will sure go back, just to get a chopped brisket sandwich from Buc-ee's. It was my first time there and WOW THE BATHROOMS WERE SO CLEAN, it even has toilet sanitizer. I'm still not sitting on a public toilet but I was still amazed with the toilet sanitizer. The warm pecans were so delicious. Sooooooo much to choose from. I spent $30 for two brisket sandwiches, fresh chips, huge fountain drink and warm pecans!!!!! Buc-ee's can take my money whenever. Everything was delicious. read more

I heard a lot about this place for the last few years that I had to make my way out when I knew we were doing the drive from Austin to Dallas! There's a lot of things I'd recommend you don't miss - the chopped beef brisket sandwich was a hit for me, ate it 3 different times hahaha I posted a bunch of merch we liked, but also don't miss all the beef jerky they offer!!! I highly recommend stopping if you're lookin for the best gas station stop you'll ever have! read more

What a place!! We first visited 2 years ago on a visit to TX driving to Houston and this time, we were visiting Austin. My nephew loves this place. There is something about this Beaver that kids just love, lol. It's overwhelming because it's just huge and soo many people. The bathrooms always have a line so be prepared depending on when you visit. Clean. Take time to walk around because there is soo much stuff!! Our favorite really are the fresh made potato chips. They have a great crunch and makes an easy snack while driving. Nephew also enjoys the brisket. We always get some jerky since they have so many different flavors and you can sample! I do wish they had more samples of their stuff. If I can sample, I'm more likely to buy. Our last trip, I feel like they had more items for sample. So this may vary depending on when you go. We traveled over a long weekend so I think that would help sales. You should be able to find something you like here, lol. read more

Review #1,070 Posted on 6.10.26 We came to Buc-ee's on Tuesday the 9th when in town in nearby Austin for my buddies 50th birthday. At some point with family, friends, colleagues most people have probably heard of this place when Texas is part of the conversation. Essentially it's a gas station with a huge store inside. Now I have to hand it to these guys, as the inside is essentially hot food, soda fountains, sweets, you name it for quick bites, that makes up about 30% of the store. Then you've got just insane amounts of Buc-ee's tourist itemsz. Pretty much almost anything you can think of they've got. We picked up a stuffed animal for my kid, some snacks, & some hot food that wasn't half bad. Pulled pork sandwich was pretty good as was the Mac n cheese. I definitely think people visiting Texas should stop into one of these while in town, lots to look through. read more

Typical Bucees, but very very crowded in a Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I wouldn't go here in a holiday. The bathroom line was out to the END of the building, just wow and see the photo I took for validation. Nevertheless, the checkout lines were not long at all. Good planning Bucees! read more

Buc-ee's - Longest bathroom line ever, but likely due to Thanksgiving weekend. - Gas Stations Near Me - Temple, Texas

Always a great travel stop. The best. No one does it like Buc-cee's with great fuel prices, clean restrooms, and more food than you can imagine. If there is a snack, Buc-cee's has it, and then some. Hot food, cold food, junk food, healthy food, BBQ brisket, smoked turkey, pulled pork, fudge, kolaches, scones, cookies, candied corn, and beaver pellets... Souvenirs, crafts, pickled green beans, pickled okra, pickled eggs, clothes, hunters' supplies, deer corn, more and more. You have to experience Buc-cee's at least once. No other travel stop will look the same. read more

What can I say about Buc-ee's that hasn't already been said? But holy cow... this place is something else. You don't just stop here, you experience it. Every time I walk in, I end up meeting some of the coolest people -- folks who will straight-up spark a conversation with you about how awesome this place is, like we're all part of the same little roadside cult. The place is spotless, like they hired an entire military unit whose only mission is to keep the floors shining. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and honestly feels like family the way they greet you with that "we got you" energy. And let's talk about convenience... the gas is cheap, the lines move fast, and they somehow have everything you need and everything you didn't even know you needed. Snacks, drinks, gear, gifts, food, merch -- it's like Target, a BBQ joint, and an airport gift shop had a baby and taught it Southern hospitality. This is the only stop I make on road trips. Buc-ee's never misses read more

I love this Buc-ee's. I didn't used to like this chain very much, but being in Temple has made me fond of it. I want my med school gala to be here. It's huge and overwhelming and overstimulating. It's the epitome of America/Texas. Big and unhealthy. We came out of our way to get some snacks and drinks to sneak into the movie theatre. Their fountain drinks and Icees are so cheap. I like their pulled pork sandwich. read more

We saw a Buc-ee's on our way back into Austin and absolutely had to stop! Others told us that this is actually a smaller size one but since it was the only one I've been to, it seemed big to me. Think gas station market, combined with a souvenir store and to-go barbecue joint plus toys and clothing. They probably have more than you'd ever need at a gas station stop! The salted caramel crunchy puff snacks were definitely one of our top finds. The mascot himself was walking around, so our kids loved that! If you need to make a pitstop, then this is definitely the place to go, if not just for the nostalgia of it. read more

I didn't feel like spending $15 on barbecue. Normally, I would go for the Philly cheesesteak burrito, but I saw this Cuban sandwich that I've never seen before. Not a bad price so I figured I would try it. Definitely good tasting meat. I did like the aïoli sauce that was on it, but I wish there was more. It probably needed at least double the amount. The bread on the other hand was way too much. The giant piece on the bottom was super hard while the top part was so thin that the moisture from the meat made it soggy like I had dipped it in the water. I only ate half of the bread and threw the rest away and only ate the inside. I would definitely try it again though and ask for extra aïoli. read more

Had already stopped at the Buc-ee's in Luling, but I needed gas and a bathroom break. The place was so packed I had to wonder what the fire inspector would say about the maximum capacity of the building. Ha ha! In spite of the hoards of people, I was thankfully able to get in and out in a timely manner. Buc-ee's staff had it all under control obviously. No task is apparantly too big for them. Don't hesitate to shop here. read more

Buc-ee's! Buc-ee's! Buc-ee's! This is the second location I've visited. It's super spacious and clean. This was a short pit stop on my way to the state fair in Dallas, so I didn't get any snacks. However, I did pick up a brisket egg taco for breakfast, and it was delicious! read more

Who doesn't love Buc-ee's? I was in Killeen and noticed Buc-ee's wasn't too far from where I was, thought I thought I would detour a little to get gas, and shop for some Buc-ee's goodies.

Overall: 4.4/5 Great service & rest stop! We were on a long late-night drive and stopped by Buc-ee's to grab some food and use the restroom. Buc-ee's is always clean, and I love their red/green light system that lets you know if a stall is available. My husband and I shared the Big Buckin' Brisket Sandwich ($13.99). They gave us small containers of onions, pickles, and a 10 oz BBQ sauce for free, which usually cost $0.25 each. I didn't think the onions and pickles were enough; there should definitely be double the amount for a sandwich this size. The BBQ sauce portion was sufficient though. The brisket itself was juicy and flavorful, with a generous amount of meat. The bun paired really well with it too. read more

First time seeing a Buc-ee's! It's enormous! They have many many flavors of soda but only a couple of sugar-free options. Was hoping they might have a sugar-free slurpee, but they did not. Then I thought, well I'm in Texas, I should get iced tea but then they did not have sliced lemons. I saw a number of people getting the iced coffee so I went with that but upon the first sip, it really wasn't very good so I wasn't able to take it my usual black and had to add creamer. They do have a ton of creamer, syrups and other flavors which seems to be the Buc-ee's way to make up for the bad coffee. The bathroom was just okay, not as good as Maverick. It was interesting that it's also a shopping destination. I'd never seen carts at a gas station before. There's a large gift shop akin to what you'd find at Cracker Barrel. The roasted nuts were pretty tempting. They were also assembling pulled pork sandwiches in the middle of the store but as a vegetarian, they certainly weren't catering to me. Around the pumps and in the parking lot is really disorganized. Needs stop signs, lanes, and/or crosswalks. Too much just open pavement, not clear who has right of way. Interesting novelty but I wouldn't go out of my way to go to another one. I also don't understand the no-truckers thing, why make a stand on this? Overall, it's not bad but the fandom had led me to have high expectations that ultimately weren't met. read more

If you've never been to the Buc-ee's in Temple, it's hard to describe just how massive and impressive this place is. It's not a gas station; it's a full-blown destination. First off, the bathrooms are legendary for a reason--hands down the cleanest, most private, and most abundant stalls and urinals you will ever find on the highway. Outside, the sheer number of gas pumps means you never have to wait, and they even have a great car wash on-site. Inside, it feels like walking into a massive, one-stop-shop mall. If you need it--or if you forgot to pack it--they have it. They're selling everything from outdoor gear, deer stands, and lawn chairs to high-end Ray-Ban sunglasses and beautiful home decor. Then there's the food. You can smell the roasted pecans and smoked meats the second you walk in. The chopped brisket sandwiches are amazing, and the snack selection is endless--wall-to-wall jerky, fudge, and every road trip snack you could ever long for. Despite how busy it gets, the staff is always incredibly friendly, helpful, and fast. Everything is a fantastic value for the quality you get. Walking around this store just to see what they have is half the fun. Buc-ee's is hands down the best! read more

Buc-ees has gone from really good to very inconsistent. One of the few places to have Dr Pepper Zero on their fountains (one of four at least), it's only actually in stock half the time. Nobody can seem to figure out it repeatedly sells out and order and stock enough to keep it flowing. They used to be the best in terms of customer service - their fast growth seems to have them resting on their laurels. read more

My final and 2nd Buc-ee's stop at Temple, Texas. If I could go to all the Buc-ee's, I would as each one may be bigger or smaller and inventory differences. They have a Penny machine in the back of the kids section that I had a hard time using, but an employee helped me out. So I didn't lose the money I put inside. Makes a nice souvenir! It was still too early and I never had a chance to eat a pulled pork brisket sandwich here. So sad. all the hot food looks good and better than those yuckie truck stops you see out in the road. I wish Buc-ees would come closer to California. Love you my little beaver buddy. How you became a gas station stop in middle of the nowhere on the road to be so popular beats me! Yes, you have one of the cleans and prettiest restrooms with art on the wall where people can buy from the local artists. Yes, you have tons of gas pumps. And healthier food options. Yes I recommend coming here. Think of this like a mini Walmart truck stop with clothes, stuff animals, food made fresh, jerky, drinks, etc. you won't starve, that's for sure and you won't run out of gas and clean restrooms! read more
