Buc-ee's in Waller is an experience all by itself. We stopped during a family road trip and, as…read moreexpected, this place delivers on just about everything.
First, the store is massive and absolutely packed with merchandise. Buc-ee's shirts, hats, mugs, souvenirs, home goods, snacks, candy, sauces, you can wander around for quite a while and still feel like you missed something. The merchandising is almost as entertaining as the stop itself.
Then there's the food. The hot sandwich area was working overtime, with brisket sandwiches, pulled pork, sausage, breakfast options and plenty of grab-and-go choices. Everything moves quickly, the food is hot, and there are enough options that everyone can find something they want. Add in the jerky counter, bakery items, fudge, roasted nuts, fountain drinks and snacks, and you've basically got road-trip heaven.
The place was busy, but it's organized, clean and surprisingly efficient considering the number of people coming through.
Buc-ee's somehow turns a gas stop into part convenience store, part restaurant, part gift shop and part tourist attraction.
