Very clean, no smells.... pleasant maintenance personnel. Very polite. Nice picnic areas, vending and a bench or two. Covered areas, truck parking. Parking lots maintained, no trash issues.

WOW!. I wouldn't think I would give a REST STOP five stars but after sitting, that's right SITTING, on I-10 in traffic with two kids, I decided I HAD to pull over. This rest stop must be the nicest in Texas. It had two sets of beautiful, clean bathrooms with AC. The picnic tables were numerous and covered from the sun. The grassy areas were well set away from the roads so I wasn't nervous when the kids decided to run off some steam. We also used the vending machines, which were well-stocked, and that's when I noticed a sign for free Wireless Internet Access. Are you kidding? Free internet in the middle of nowhere??!!!?

One of the sets of restrooms...very clean!

Really clean and well maintained rest area. They have two sets of restrooms, so if one is being cleaned, the other is open, and I swear they must clean these every 5 minutes, or nobody actually uses this place! There's a lot of green area, so if you need to get out and stretch there's plenty of room for that. Not sure if pets are allowed, but there may be a separate pet area. If not, please pick up after your pets! Leaving your dog's poop out is just gross. Very nice area to stop and take a break from the road!

See all

Very clean stop. The grounds are nice and shady but the car parking lot could have been bigger. But staying so we will see.

Buc-ee’s - Here is your sign

Is this the best Buc-ee's? While it's got the same selection as others and is about as large, it…read moredoesn't seem to be an overwhelmingly full of people which is a win. There's tons of parking and lots of pumps. I was traveling with my baby for the first time so having space away from everyone while we settled into what we needed to do was perfect. We grabbed the very last pump and no one was near us, which let us take our time. The bathrooms are large and we used a big handicap stall which had a changing table AND sink in it. It would be helpful if they had a sign noting that as it's very much a family stall (not just handicap) Overall a good Buc-ee's and a great stop

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. We saw the gas prices. 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. Food is more affordable in Texas. We also bought some souvenirs to take back home including a red shirt with the beaver.

Recently stopped here along the way to San Antonio. This place was awesome and worth checking out!…read moreI love the detail and history that goes into this rest stop and so far every rest stop along interstate 10. Tons of parking spaces for cars and trucks with clean restrooms and great amenities. Great place to check out in the summer to escape the scorching sun.

Rest stops!?!? Hell no. I always thought they were dirty, run down and always non air…read moreconditioned bathrooms. Not the case at all. So my father being as old as he is has to stop every 60 miles to go to the bathroom, damn all that medicine he takes. Any ways....i decided to stop and stretch a bit while he ran in. Right when you get into parking lot it's free and clear of any trash. The bathrooms are located inside the rest stop building that has a small museum in it with snacks and drinks. There is even a kids play area right outside that is pretty solid. New and shaded area for a quick pic nic and a few nice trees with park benches underneath them. Now if you have the four legged family pet there is also a dog walking trail. I don't of course so I didn't check it out. I'm really impressed. It felt like I was in a huge park ready to enjoy some perfect scenery. If you ever need to stop and stretch this is a location I would suggest. It's definitely not like the scene in the movie "There's Something about Mary" with Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. If you haven't seen this movie before sure to YT that scene. You will get the joke. Cheers All...
