No line to take a photo, so we snapped a quick photo before getting back on the road to Houston. Gotta love Buc-ee's. High Five to the beaver!!

Always the place to stop to rest, eat, shop and use the restroom…read more They are the cleanest restrooms and worth the stop. They smell clean and so easy to find an open stall. They have a great selection of merchandise if you are into all the branded Buc-ee's cloths, collectibles and anything you can thinks of they have it. For gasing up, there are a lot of pumps available. This location is very easy to exit and get back on the interstate.

Dancing Frogs! This is one of the weirdest, most Texan…read moretruck stops that I've ever been to. On the roof of the place, you'll find a few giant dancing frogs, made by the Texas artist, Daddy-O Wade. The frogs are immortalized playing Mexican musical instruments, like a froggy mariachi band on the roof of the pump area. Nice. Daddy-O Wade made other famous Texan works of art, like the giant boots outside of North Star Mall in San Antonio, and the giant tractor trailer sign made out of ranch gates also along I-35E. I'd always heard that this truck stop used to have an ulterior purpose here back in the day. It used to be that the signs would change from "Gas" to a lit martini glass at night, hinting at what else goes on at this truck stop at night. Inside, the place looks ancient and worn. In the entry way, be sure to check out all the signed photos and head shots of the famous celebrities that have stopped by. This is Willie Nelson's favorite gas station! George Strait apparently likes their tacos. I've heard that the story of this place was that since this town is in the middle of the belt buckle of the Bible Belt, you couldn't buy beer here in this part of Texas for the longest time. Then one day Carl decided he was sick of sobriety, so he bought the town, which was a few mobile homes. He incorporated it separately from the rest of the community, and became mayor of his own town, which he named after himself, and built this truck stop as City Hall. Once he was in power, he immediately legalized the sale of beer, and relaxed the rules. Hoooray! The system works. After he legalized alcohol, he set up a strip club in the back of the gas station, with mirrored ceilings, a stage, and a pole in the center. But it's classy, people get married here. At one point, he had a swimming pool for the truckers, and sold giant chicken fried steaks. Send that mayor to Washington! They sell beer here now. Lots of Lone Star Beer and Shiner. They also have truck driver supplies, like caffeine pills, CB antennae, and mud flaps with a silhouette of a naked lady. They also sell Bio-Willie, which is Willie Nelson's own brand of gasoline, made from renewable resources. A while back, part of the truck stop burned down, but the giant mariachi frogs on the roof miraculously survived. It's been lovingly rebuilt, but it's not quite the same. The pool and the steaks are gone. There are showers in the back, for truckers, that work on quarters. The place is clean, and they offer lots of snack, drinks and parking. The truck stop is located along the way from Waco to Dallas.

Great selection of exotic beers. The owner is very nice and a funny guy. He always has a great…read moreattitude. He has an extensive knowledge of his products as well. I have always had a 5 star experience at The Red Barn!

It's clean but the are very over priced on items. We spent $4 a piece on 1L of smart water…read more Ridiculously over priced when it's $2.50 or less anywhere else. Also, a customer was on their way out the door and what I'm thinking is the manager stopped her and said he didn't charge her for items and claimed she had water when she didn't have any. She just gave him the item he said she didn't get charged for and left. I would have done the same! Very rude.

Obviously they have done some major work since Phyllis was here two years ago. I couldn't let this…read morereview go not updated because it's a nice place! The women's bathroom was in fantastic condition with new subway tile, gold frame mirror, and turbo hand dryer. The shop was nice with wine, toys/gifts, normal snacks and the fried pies. There were at least a dozen choices of fried pies, and the two flavors we got were great! Very nice place to stop to use the restroom and get a tasty snack!
