However, this Exxon transformed a dilapidated corner of Guadalupe & University/Pat Garrison from a lot full of junk cars into a nice looking business, and it is just a block from my house, so we checked it out. The whole place was remodeled a couple months ago and has your typical convenience store items. They run good sales on drinks (2 32oz Powerades for $2.50) and other items, and have a good selection of snacks and stuff. Plus they have a kitchen/diner area in the back, and the girl who works there told me that they would have a vegetarian section on the menu! Not something you usually see in gas station cuisine. 4 stars for putting a respectable business downtown in what used to be urban blight. If they have a couple delicious vegan menu items when they start serving food, I could see this place getting that 5th star...

This is the second time the machine hasn't worked.

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

Their lingua tacos are hands down some of the best I've ever had--tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. On top of the incredible food, the service is remarkably fast and friendly. Highly recommend stopping by if you're craving top-tier tacos in the area!

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.

Most of the trays were empty, and the other two options this morning appeared to be flautas and churros. I selected two of what I hoped were taquitos/burritos. They ended up being eggrolls (insert trombone wah-wah). They were cheap and reheated well for lunch (the co-worker arrived with donuts, so I didn't dissect my mystery selection until lunchtime). I'm not asking for the ingredient list to be posted--I accept I'll die not knowing if those previous mini burritos were beef or bean or both--but even vegetarian versus not would be an improvement.

It's on one main thoroughfare and near many residential homes with a middling-sized parking lot, so maneuvering the lot can be interesting depending on your time/traffic, plus you'll learn quickly which way you should turn pulling OUT of here. Current construction isn't really helping at the moment but this too shall pass. Service has been 99% friendly, always efficient, and the store's been clean. I tend to stop in near midnight or later--after petsits or with insomnia--unless I just pop by for gas on my way to work. They do stock basic grocery items, but all (milk is the exception) have a serious convenience upprice going on. $2.29 for a can of tuna! Fortunately they stock a decent amount of milk and it's always been fresh. I come from dairy people, what can I say, I go through a lot of milk. They have a tire pump which is working more often than not lately. I wish they'd stock the good lemonade again, and the employees have been great about masking since the beginning.
