Great spot to charge the Tesla, especially coming from Houston. It's about 110 miles from Sugarland…read moreso it's ideal if you don't have the extended range version. A charge to about 90 percent battery life from Houston should take about 30 minutes on 32 Amps. There are eight charging ports as of June 2020. This station has a very small dog relief station. It's not that well maintained but it works I guess. Located at the CEFCO gas station and Wichwich parking lot. It's about a block or so from the small Bucees.

On the other side of that wall is another seating area for those, who want to sit and eat. Some wall sockets available there also. They do have a deli area, with some ready items. There are also screens in front of the cooking area, where you can place your order, pay and wait for your call, when done. The parking lot was not too bad. A good place to park for the night. Not congested.

This is a convenient place to stop for a truck driver, there are about 15-20 truck parking spaces…read more The store is clean and well stocked, the lounge area is VERY comfortable with about 15-20 individual reclining armchairs. If I had the ability to rate the store and restaurant separately, the store would get a higher rating, probably 5 stars. However, the restaurant brought it down. I ordered the 290 Plaza Breakfast Plate which is supposed to be one each of bacon, sausage, and egg, plus a slice of toast and fries. The sausage is basically a hot dog and the egg was overcooked (I ordered over-medium and it was rock-hard). The fries were instead a McDonald's style hash brown patty. In addition, they tried to overcharge me. The menu showed a price of $3.99 and they tried to charge $4.99. When I pointed out the error they told me that the menu was wrong. They were reluctant to honor the posted price until I said I didn't want it anymore. At that point they finally changed it to the posted price. Many people might say "it's a truck stop, what do you expect?" I have been to truck stops all over the country and many of them have great service and great quality...that's what I expect. I will definitely stop here for drink refills and snack purchases, but won't be using the restaurant anymore.

In the small town of Giddings this is an oasis for mankind! Seriously! There just is not too much…read morein Giddings... a half hearted Buc-ee's (something so small they should really be ashamed to call it a Buc-ee's),a Walmart that has 3 isles of groceries... and a cornucopia of fast food or bad food places. In this sea of mediocrity there is a small light... a semblance of possible civilization.... and it's called Rattlers. A decent price for gas in a small town, lots of fast pumps, a large convenience store, a walk in beer cooler, a Burger King attached, and the bathrooms are clean! Hallelujah! (One knock... the staff could not care less about the customers!) Get you gas, grab a 6pk, load up on snacks... and enjoy life in a little place called Giddings.

Visited on Sunday November 16th, 2025 to get a little more gas to get home. The price was…read morereasonable--actually, better than the Buc-ees just a block further into town. There were a lot of pumps down that visit, but I lucked into one that was working. The squeegees were viable and not out of water, which gave me a great opportunity to do some window washing while I fueled. It was late (after 5p) on a Sunday and with a lot of travelers, I found the trash bins overflowing as others have noted. I mean, it happens. People come by and clean out a trip's (or a year's) worth of trash here; not fair to them, but that's the deal you make when you serve the public. What I found interesting is that even though this is not a Top Tier fuel, my car actually seemed to run better on it. That was a "wow" moment, and it has added CEFCO to my list of brands to look for on road trips.

The CEFCO of Giddings, Texas will forever hold a special place in my memories (but I'll spare you…read morethe backstory). I was actually able to find some decently healthy food here, a prepackaged pickle and chocolate milk. Ok, now that I write that down it doesn't seem that healthy, but the pickle was actually pretty appetizing, (not disgusting at all, as you might assume a pickle in a bag to be, 100% recommend the pickle) and the milk was just... good. There is a Buck-ee's down the road but it's a smaller one and it doesn't have Tesla charging, the CEFCO is just as good in my experience when it come to bathrooms. The next time I pass through Giddings I will be coming back. (Also, saw a rainbow after a pretty intense rainstorm on Feb. 14 while they were playing my favorite song, so nice experience there.)
