I remember going to one of their first places near the university of Texas in the end of the 70s. I'm glad I stopped in. Place was empty but for one other customer at about three in the afternoon. Nice fellow took my order. Prompt delivery of a medium size original sandwich. The bread is a real treat as are the variety of meats and I had it with onions and tomatoes and pretty much everything. Very filling. Brings back nice memories and I'm glad that I got the original and not any of the other choices.

Used the amenities, filled up with gas at a great price and moved on. Let me say that Buc ee's is the Greatest! Truly a 5X5 Star Company! Here comes the "BUT"! Checked on their coffee and it's still made on their Massive Coffee Makers! Coffee gets old quickly that's why McDonalds has a time limit on how long their coffee may available for sale. That's why their Coffee is good and Fresh! Buc ee's Not So much! At Buc ee's, I would have to look for a Coffee Maker that just finished brewing a Couple of Gallons of coffee. Then pour it quickly before anyone else beats me to it. They do have Espresso single serve Coffee Makers. Didn't try one! But as a person who has traveled to Europe and other places in this world, I would say the Italians have my attention on their Espresso! Tried several as we traveled from the north of Italy down to the Almafi Coast. Wow and Wow. I will try Buc ee's Espresso on this trip. But NOT their regular coffee. Take a lesson from QT and Valero! Freshly ground Coffee served one Small to Extra Large Cup at a time. So I'll get my Coffee at QT/Valero and Eats & Gas at Buc ee's!

This is real Texas BBQ!! instead of stopping at Buc-ee's on your way through, come show these guys some love. Very generous portions of meat and you get to load up your own sides! Chuy is usually behind the counter and he truly is the nicest person and is so welcoming every time I come. The rest of the staff that I have encountered are equally amazing. I've have honestly written one other review on yelp that I can remember and I just couldn't live with myself if I didn't write one for these people. Prices are more than fair for what you get here. Thank you so much Buffalo Creek!! read more

The moment we walked through the door, the smoky aroma told us we were in the right place. It's a small spot tucked next to Subway in Rio Vista, set up mainly for takeout, but there are a few tables inside if you want to stay. Meals come in to-go containers either way, which makes it easy to enjoy wherever you are. We ordered the chopped brisket and the Mexican street corn, and both were absolutely fantastic. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and served in a generous portion. The large street corn came in a big cup topped with a hearty scoop of chopped brisket--such a perfect combo. Compared to other BBQ joints, Meat Preacher is very competitively priced, and the quality makes it well worth every penny. We'll definitely be back soon to try more of their smoked options. If you're anywhere near Rio Vista, this place is a must!

I normally take pictures but once everything came, it didn't look to appetizing. The environment was classic hole in the wall country. It really gave small country concert vibes. The brisket had no bark. You can't be a Texas bbq joint and do brisket bad. The ribs tasted boiled. No smoke ring. No smoke flavor. Regular pepper sausages had no character. Just mush in a casing. Sides were not worth trying. Best thing we had today in my opinion were the French fries and fried okra. All in all, not a place I would suggest for true bbq enthusiasts.
