I first discovered this place; I was on my way to Austin last year. My tire pressure warning light came on after driving on the bumpy freeway near Highway 10. I had to stop at a gas station. But when I approached this intersection, I couldn't get in to the tiny space at Hruska's tire refill station. Then, I went to Ellinger Shell across street. The store clerks were very friendly and the store was clean. I got what I needed. There are plenty of space to park to get gas and tire pumped. I just have to remember that it is not a 24/7 store and there is minimum charge on credit card use.

Im going to be harsher on the rest drop than others because Buc-ee's has set the bar so high…read more I grew up around smaller Buc-ee's and was in shock went I saw my first Gas Pro Shop mega location. This Giddings spot is tiny but mighty with a small deduction of the normal beaver fare, clean restrooms and drink stations, and a fair amount of pumps. However, they lack the quality I have come to expect. Specifically, the coffee station gained my ire this time. The last 2 times I have stopped here, the coffee was bad. Like Circle K bad. Burnt and tasteless. And they lack the space for the cold creamers to hide the flavor. The carafes are too low to fit a large cup under so you have to tilt them, risking hot coffee split across your hand. At least it isn't as hot as McD's.

Though this isn't a typical Buc-ee's in size, it's still pretty great. They've got all the staples,…read moreBeaver Nuggets and so forth.

I have known about Buc-ee's for years, but I have never traveled to a state that has one nearby…read more Finally we visited the Lone Star State of Texas, specifically in Austin, but we had to travel to Bastrop, Texas for the nearest one to Austin. At first sight, it was so overwhelmingly large with three large covered gas pump areas. Upon going inside, it was definitely larger than any truck stop in California. I was told the first area to visit at Buc-ee's are the restrooms. Definitely well kept and much cleaner than any gas stations period that I have ever been to. I definitely did not go there just to check out the bathrooms, but for the many Buc-ee's logo'd souvenirs, snacks and especially barbecue seasonings and sauces. Their hot food area like hot Brisket sandwiches, sausage wrapped in a tortilla on a stick, brisket burritos, candied nuts, a wall of almost every fountain drink available, slushies, and so much more. I had to go through my list of items to pick up as well as items requested by friends and family. It felt like it was my first time at an amusement park or the toy store. I think we were short of two hours trying to make sure we got everything we came for. Just in case I missed anything or didn't get to try a sample of fudge, jerky, nuts, cookies, or whatever else, we had plans to go to San Antonio the following day and there would be a Buc-ee's on the way at New Braunfels. Sure enough, we made a quicker stop in the New Braunfels location just before San Antonio. It was a fun experience and definitely anytime I am passing by a Buc-ee's location, I am going in planned or not planned.

I hadn't been to this location in a while. It is a typical Buc-ee's, though it seems smaller than…read moresome of the newer stores. The gas prices are lower than most, and the restrooms are clean, which are definitely positives. However, I've started to notice that food prices are getting too high for my budget. Additionally, I've observed a decline in the quality of some items they make in-store, like the BBQ sandwiches. Furthermore, this location isn't the easiest to exit if you're heading east on Highway 71. I hope they keep their prices competitive, but I'm seeing more competition around them, so I might start trying other places. Ultimately, price is the most important factor for me.

Yesterday had been a really busy day so we decided to grab some food from Texas One Stop in La…read moreGrange. I usually go in there to buy their baked goods, which are pretty hit and miss. They have very clean bathrooms and a nice area with tables inside if you want to stay and eat. They have a decent selection of drinks and snacks, and lots of clothing and boots for sale. But this time, we decided instead of a quick sandwich we would go ahead and order barbecue plates. Their prices are fairly inexpensive for barbecue and I think that's because they are not out back cooking on the pit all day. But the brisket and chicken were fair, made much better by their sauce. I liked the potato salad and I loved the green beans. I think the brisket sandwich is better than the brisket plate, so that's what I will go back to.

Even the restroom with the painting in the hallways are the same. Grabbed the kids icees. Decent amount of flavors to choose from. Smalls were $1.79, mediums $1.99. BUT the prices of the food seemed VERY VERY high. For instance, a TINY brisket/potato taco (which I could eat in like 3 bites) was $9!!!! No thanks. Cashier was friendly. She accidentally rang in 3 mediums but one was a small. I corrected her. NDB Cleanliness was top notch, just like Buc-ee's. We'd stop again.

Also a single pack of cigarettes that at Murphy's cost $5.38 is $13 at snappy's. I suggest we boycott this store and show the greedy owner of the store that his prices are price gouging.
