The Texan definitely stood out in the small town of Goliad, TX, as we made our way to our hotel on May 27, 2025.
I've never been to a Buc-ee's, but my family and friends have ranted and raved about the jumbo beaver-inspired travel centers for several years. With that being said, I immediately made a strong correlation between Buc-ee's and The Texan.
After a long swim in the hotel pool, my daughters and I reviewed the dinner offerings in the sleepy town.
I suggested we just go check out The Texan and at least restock on fluids and snacks for our upcoming beach trip.
As soon as we walked in, we all gravitated to the grab-n-go section. Cold items included salads, sandwiches, fruit and veggie cups, boiled eggs, pies, and other desserts.
Then we drifted towards the hot items: pizza, tacos, burgers, and other plates, but I was curious about the BBQ sliced brisket sandwich ($9.99). It was so good! Not soggy. Loads of brisket!
They also had donuts, kolaches, and muffins in another display.
Here's the rest of our supper menu:
+ sweet tea drinks (medium) = $1.69
+ sweet tea (large) = $1.79
+ Nutty Bavarian dessert in a cup = $4.49
+ 3-piece cake balls cup = $6.99
+ grilled chicken sandwich = $8.99
+ 5-pc jalapeno poppers = $5.99
+ a large meat lover's pizza slice = $3.99
+ pecans
Great service. Restrooms, a beer cave, wine selections, souvenirs, indoor dining area, and gas/diesel pumps also available. Big rigs have their own area. The only bummer was they sold out of these really cool dog stickers with the Texas flag. read more
