Went here for the lore of it all. This place is huge. Is it a gas station or a grocery store or a…read moremall? The answer is yes. Their marketing is too notch, I don't think it's possible to walk out of there without some sort of souvenir. It's well lit. They have Buc-ee's children's books, Buc-ee's swimsuits, Buc-ee's everything. I walked out with an assortment box of fudge, cotton candy-watermelon,strawberry banana, and regular. Watermelon one taste like it was made with the baby bottle pop watermelon dip power-amazing. The strawberry banana actually tasted like individual flavors coming together the banana flavor imitated the banana laffy taffy I was impressed, and they were like only $2. They have rock candy suckers here! You don't see those everywhere, they feel like a cannon event. I noticed they have a huge deli Jekry style. A whole bakery fudge style. And the people that work there in cowboy hats which I thought was really cute. Was it worth the hype? Sure. Be prepared to spend at least an hour on your port break during a road trip. The view at the pump is beautiful as are most views in Tennessee. Saw some things I've never seen before even in the checkout line, energy packs that look like zyns. And specialty mints in interesting flavors.

This is my first and possibly last Bucee's experience…read more Outside: YES--Cheapest gas--a full $0.70 cheaper than any other stations along the highway!!! That alone was worth the stop, but the rest of the experience was less than expected. By the pumps, there are no windshield washer squeegees anywhere, so you cannot clean the bugs off of your windshield. The pay-at-the-pump interface was frustrating. It would not accept my Discover card. I used my Visa, and it locked into selling me only 15 gallons. The only great part of the refueling experience was the price and the zero wait for a pump because they have so many of them. Also, this location has a car wash, and the purchase option was imbedded in the gas purchase--I didn't want it, but accidentally got it. I guess that would be one way to clean the windows, but be aware as you're trying to buy gas. Inside: The inside is huge. It's like someone took a Walmart and placed restrooms and food kiosks in the center of it. The women's bathroom was awesomely clean. It's huge with individual doored stall-rooms along the walls with green (open) and red (busy) lights above the door, so you can quickly find a stall that's open. The entire center of the bathroom is full of sinks/soap/paper towels. It was spotlessly clean and the highlight of the whole experience. Food: Having seen another Yelp review, we got 2 XXL BBQ Brisket sandwiches and Buc-ee's chips and 2 $0.99 fountain drinks. We also picked up a small bag of chocolate covered pretzels. That lunch cost us $41, and there was nowhere to sit to eat it. The expectation is that you go back out to your car to eat. After being in the car for 6 hours, I didn't want to eat in the car, so we found a lamppost in the shade that we used as a "table" and stood to eat. Service: Everyone working at this location was helpful and friendly, so the service is great. Recommendation: If you are looking for a clean bathroom and cheaper gas--this is an awesome place to stop!! Of course, the cheaper gas price is how they draw you in, then they make up the loss in inside sales, especially food. There are many food choices, which is also good, as long as you intend to eat in the car. If you get the BBQ sandwich, I would get the one without the sauce.

The car seemed to have no troubles, until the sixth day (a Sunday). We had noticed that the car was having troubles starting and while at a family friends house, the car died and would not turn over. I called the dealership and got a voice mail (they were closed. I had the car towed to my house and was gearing up for a fight. Dan called me back completely apologetic, and offered to reimburse me for the tow to my house. That Monday he located a mechanic close to my home, (we live about 45 minutes away from Athens) and arranged to have it towed and fixed at his expense. The mechanic took longer then promised and Dan called me every day to assure me that he was doing every thing he could. In the end the issue was resolved with no added expense on my behalf. Dan has continued to go above and beyond and I will be buying every car from him from now on.

This is a extremely terrible TERRIBLE company to buy a car from. Today we looked at a 2003…read moreVolkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg edition that we've been in contact with them for about a week, maybe two on. Dan, the owner, was very nice and polite, at first, to talk to, his father was even nicer. All of that politeness coincidentally fell off when we took the vehicle to an actual mechanic. Dan noted that the car has no A/C and that they had parts coming in to fix it (not a big deal for me personally), they also noted that the vehicle had bad tires and they would get new ones the following day or so (which they did). Anyways, the first test drive I noticed the wheel felt like it was going to fall off, the brakes were decent but not good, the car had a faint smell of oil, there was a check engine light, and the transmission felt like it wasn't hooking properly, also a non working sunroof and no A/C but that's alright. We tell them all of these things, and they claimed that tires would fix the wheel wobble issue (it did kind of) and that the sunroof was a lot to fix and the A/C would be fixed soon, the other issues they blew off. Come a few days (today), we went as we were about to buy the car but took it to a personal mechanic because we're not idiots. So, we bring the car to our mechanic Phoenix Motors on HWY 72, and come to find out the vehicle had been in a wreck (you can tell by the difference of color on each lower control arm and spring) as well as a broken axle that is just SPITTING GREASE EVERYWHERE (this would be the reason behind the wheel wobble that never went away). An finally, the car was burning oil and leaking LOADS of oil out of the cars turbo, in-fact, the car was SMOKING after a short drive to Madison from Athens, and finally the brakes are warped on the car. So, we take the car back to Rocket City Motors where we immediately say that we were unhappy and that they had lied to us, and Dan suddenly became hostile stating that we should go back to a dealership that messed us over before and said, "Wow, it's funny how I just drove it today and there were no issues on the car besides a wobble, now suddenly there's all these issues from a drive to Madison." PATHETIC. That was just my mom talking to him as I'm only 18. I didn't wanna be rude or anything, but as I was following my mom out the door, Dan said, "Do we wanna be rude or nice?" and I was kind of confused so I just shrugged and said I don't know what you mean and told him I can tell him all of the issues on the car that we found (he didn't even listen to my mom he just kept being a complete ass) but he did the same exact thing to me and said I DON'T CARE JUST LEAVE AND GET SCREWED OVER AGAIN. This is honestly one of the worst bets of a dealer you could go too. I would go somewhere else if you'd like a proper working vehicle. Very childish.

Unlike the Express with Class Six on Action Drive, the selection of liquors at the AAFES Express is much smaller and I've never seen the AAFES Express host an event like an on site wine retailer. I've eaten at both the Burger King and Subway, which can get really crowded, and purchased a few items at the convenience store. In the past I've purchased gas here, too. It's nice, in a pinch, to be able to pop over to the AAFES Express and get a sub sandwich or something from Burger King if you forgot your lunch and/or missed the cafeteria operating hours in your building.
