I ended up in Texas because of a guy with a Buc-ee's T-shirt…read more About year ago while shopping for groceries at Freddy's (aka Fred Meyer) I saw some guy confidently wearing a red t-shirt with a cartoon looking beaver on it. I was like, "Um, ok, what's that about?" I got home and looked it up. I found out it was Texan company. Then I decided I wanted to visit the biggest Buc-ee's in the Lone Star State. We landed in San Antonio and rented a car. Thankfully it didn't have a California license plate. We drove to Luling on our way to Austin. We pulled into the Buc-ee's parking lot. Gas in Texas is more affordable than Washington State. Took a photo with the metal critter in front of the entrance then made our way into the store. Spacious, busy. Bathroom was clean. We picked up some brisket sandwiches and some sodas. We also bought some souvenirs to take back home including a red shirt with the beaver.

Restrooms had two hand soap dispensers completely broken, paper towel in the corner on the floors, soda station a mess and not wiped, slushie station a mess, coffee sauces out, empty bottles sitting there, coffee machines dusty with beans all over. Come on Buc-ee's. Is the normal standard not there anymore. No more wow factor anymore? Or getting too big that procedure is being lost in the process? Didn't look like people were working and the ones who were seemed very unhappy and not guest focused. Coming from someone in management for the past 15 years. Maybe it's just this Buc-ee's that needs work?

Not the fastest service but not too bad. Then you have to pay at the gas station side after you eat. I found the brisket to be very good but it did not have a smoke flavor which was disappointing. The sausage was good. The coleslaw a bit too sweet for me. My total was $12 for not bad at all for bar b q. The staff even figured out it was cheaper for me to pay for the 2 meat plate and get a side than just meat Alavert. Very nice of them. Overall there are limited places for lunch in Stockdale and I would eat here again. Will try a few other places and review next month when I am back.

They also have a kitchen that makes breakfast & lunch dinner items that are available for purchase such as tacos, burritos, breakfast sandwiches, crispitoes, chicken strips, ect.. They will even make you a fresh full sized pizza if requested. Probably got the quickest, most friendly staff in La Vernia too. I dropped a star because their gas prices are often 4-10 cents higher than the station across the street and the HEB down the road but I'll pick this place every time if I need to actually go inside. The Shell across the street is always under staffed and either the line is long or the person working the register is no where to be found...plus it lacks in other areas outside of price per gallon.

The Valero inside Fort Sam Houston has hands down the best gas prices in the entire city!…read more This gas station is located near the I35 entrance by N. Walters St. My husband and I have putting gas here for years, and since prices have really increased in the last 12 months, we make it a point to not even consider going anywhere else. Plus if you have the Military Star Card, you get 5 cents off from the current price which is an amazing deal and you get cash back. The only thing that I do not like about this gas station is the entrance. There is only one way to get in and is not marked really well which can be a little confusing for new people. If you have access to the military base definitely save yourself some money and make sure to fill out your tank at this Valero.

No road trip to Austin feels complete without a stop at Buc-ee's off I-35 North near New Braunfels…read more Whether you need a bathroom break, a quick breakfast, or snacks for the drive, this place always delivers. The snack selection is endless--perfect for keeping you energized or, if you go heavy on the carbs, ready for a nap. Despite the constant crowds, the restrooms are consistently spotless and spacious, which is a reason enough to stop. Prices have definitely gone up, but Buc-ee's is still worth the visit. Stretch your legs, stock up on snacks, and enjoy one of the biggest Buc-ee's in Texas. It's a road trip tradition that never gets old.

This 65k+ Sq Ft mecca of goodness has the cleanest bathrooms in the stretch between San Antonio to Austin with delectable eats, an endless wall of fountain drinks including Arizona products (you don't see that anywhere else), and most importantly, the roasted pecans. There's over 1000 reviews here so my review just adds to the noise and means nothing. There's the typical Buc-ee's merch if you need to brag to everyone. There's your fudge, your jerky, your BBQ sammies, and your beaver nuggets. The world is your oyster, but to my knowledge they don't sell those. RIYL: BRISKET. ON THE BOARDDDD

But this one in downtown San Antonio was the worst. When we were in El Paso, we had to wait 10 seconds to get a new bottle of creamer and the guy was so apologetic. He has his two free coffee coupons for the delay so every morning of this trip we've been excited about going to QT and having breakfast and coffee. But san Antonio was a complete disappointment. We had to wait 10 minutes to get some of the finally bring out creamer and the gentleman next to me another customer said wow she didn't have to have such an attitude. So I said OK good it's not just me. The app didn't work and a ton of employees standing around texting when myself another customers were looking for help. Only reason I gave it two stars instead of one it's because it was an inner city gas station, which I'm sure gives them a lot of problems. Two of their four coffee machines were down and many of their pull handle coffees were empty with just water coming out. Of the machines that were working, we had to let the staff know that they were out of coffee. Only one gentleman who is running a register seemed to be really trying out of the whole staff.
