[@Shicklebob-b3l]

I worked at Bucees deli. They brought in a chemical engineer who designed the brisket. He brought in 40 different tasting briskets and said our vote is the one that makes it. It was a great day. They smoke them somewhere else and freeze them and send to the store. Store pops them in an oven for like 8 hours. It's honestly the top 3 brisket ive ever had. Nobody EVER believes me when i say its legit great brisket.

Honestly, as a Texan, I prefer going into a Buc-cee's, grabbing a brisket sandwich, and getting out versus a 3 hour Franklin wait.

[@Richard-HiFiMan]

I can relate. The last time I was in Texas a buddy and I headed out to Snow's in Lexington, one of my favorite BBQ joints ever. We got there at 8am and the line was already 300ft long (250ish people). We were there for an hour and the lined moved maybe 70ft. As much as I love Kerry and Tootsie at Snow's, we said no way and left. So we drove over to Taylor, had some amazing breakfast at Plowman’s Kitchen (a converted school band hall) and then picked up some bbq to go at Louie Mueller's.

[@mikelundquist4596]

[@mitchk2981]

Went to my first Buc-ee’s a few weeks ago on a road trip. Going, I had the brisket, egg and potato burrito. Coming back the XL sandwich. While not the best smoked brisket I ever had, totally 100% respectable and you would not complain if you went to a smokehouse and got the same. Considering the volume of the operation and the quality of the total experience, I will never pass up a Buc-ee’s again in my life if I pass one and have the time. Absolutely a great experience. The bathrooms are so spacious and clean that you will never find anything like them elsewhere.

[@glennmcdonald4557]

A little background on my first WHATABURGER in the early 70's Port Arthur,southeast,Texas. Only Whataburger in the area. They took a meatball out of a metal bowl that was sitting in ice. Toss it on the griddle right in front of me and flatten somewhat. Grease fat flying popping everywhere. S and P on the patty. Threw the long crinkle cut fries in fryer again in front of me. Toasted the buns on the griddle in the fat with butter. Pulled fries out and salted. Mayo and mustard dressed out burger. You had to do the lean over to eat the burger. Juicy juicy and it didn't fall apart. That was the absolute best burger. Nobody has come close to that burger. Now today cooking is hidden. If you want a hot fresh burger go early in the morning. They have to cook patty fresh. Burger is no where juicy as before but good. No more crinkle cut fries. That is a loss in my book. Today's what whataburger is a disappointment to when I was a teenager.

[@rickdavis2235]

Whataburger was sold to a Chicago based company a couple of years ago.

[@mmr0221]

Best thing at Buccees: bathrooms. Single stall bathrooms with walls and privacy and so clean

[@wardad5628]

Few people know this but Buc-cee's is actually Latin for: Did I just really spend $100 on snacks.

[@Geeksmithing]

But none of those snacks are Pepsi products, Reese's or Kit Kats. :P

[@Lawdawg1us1]

The Buccee’s Brisket was up there on my last BBQ tour of Texas last year.

[@leftykiller8344]

Not a Texas native here, just here working, and everything he said about Buc-cee’s is 100% accurate. I don’t know if it’s possible to go there without spending $100. 😂 I’m going to be moving out of Texas in a couple months, and I’m going to miss both Buc-cee’s and HEB. Most other things about/in the state is more “take it or leave it,” but those two places are amazing.

[@garretthopp]

Moved from West Texas to DFW back in 2016 and had the joy of discovering a ton of Buccee's within an hour drive of us. Wife and I make mini "road trips" to go to different ones. Moved to Florida for about 18 months and SERIOUSLY went through Buccee's withdrawals. Back in DFW and it feels so good to have access again. Yeah, them and HEB. I feel for you @leftykiller. Take solace in the fact that Buccee's is expanding slowly but surely.

[@EricLeafericson]

I remember HEB would usually have fresh squeezed OJ from the oranges they couldn't sell. Somehow HEB is better at food recycling than most fancier grocery stores. They really are the best grocery store.

[@adamseitchik6122]

As a former Houstonian of 19 years you are 1000% correct. Can't tell you how much we miss HEB and Buc-cee's

[@lynngoodwin3223]

As a former Houstonian (63 years), I sorely miss HEB. We have a Buc-cee's about 30 mins away, but the closest HEB is well over an hours drive (depending on traffic) from us.

What sucks about the growth is that they get special tax breaks (like sales tax refunds) that existing small businesses don't get. That helps Buckees put the local small operators out of business. I hate corporate welfare. Here locally, they gave Costco $15 million to build the new Costco. GMAFB

[@Calirules300]

I just came yesterday from Texas. First time visiting. When I mentioned to my wife to go Buc-ees she refused and on the last day going to airport she felt bad and we stopped. That was her favorite stop. She got so much stuff. I tried sliced brisket sandwich. It was good and I’ve had Franklin’s BBQ. I spent $250 and forgot to get pulled pork. I think I bought too much and I was eating it for 4 days and still brought home half. My advice try many places and get half a pound unless you have 3-4 guys who love meats.

[@mmr0221]

Why did she refuse in the first place?

Man! You and Joe DEFINITELY nailed the Buc-cee's experience! For example, the food (including the brisket, chips and Kolaches). Way better going there than going to any fast food place or just in general if you don't have time to stop for a restaurant meal. Whenever we are on the road in Texas, Buc-cee's is definitely one of our stops. I agree that their brisket, though not the best, is better than some places that supposedly specialize in BBQ and are overpriced. You mentioned the gazillion gas pumps as well. I was watching the whole video and seeing that it was getting close to the end and thinking to myself "I can't believe they didn't mention the restrooms." Well, sure enough, right at the end, you did." I wish I would have known where you were (which Buc-cee's) you guys were at. Would have loved to meet you all. All the best to you guys. Happy trails.

[@jimmiemacd3603]

Whataburger has been “meh” since it was bought by Chicago. Another good thing about buccees is the cheap fountain drinks and 20 pound bag of ice for $99 cents. When you live in Dallas and you pick any direction to go in for a camping trip you’re pretty much guaranteed to run into a buccees. My biggest gripe is people that are parked at the pump and go inside for an hour. Believe it or not the pumps do get full.

Texan here as well (Hondo). Check out the Buc-cee's in Katy TX. It's extra huge with 120 gas pumps and a 225' long car wash. Buc-cee's doesn't allow semis. Families only. If you ever find yourself on US 90 in south Texas just west of San Antonio, stop at Heavy's BBQ in Hondo for some really good BBQ brisket, sausage and chicken as well as Frito pie and the Big Heavey with brisket and smoked sausage. Like a lot of businesses in Hondo, they're closed Sunday and Monday.

Nothing beats it when on the road.. better than any fast food

[@anthonyrichard461]

I work with a local smoked sausage company here in South Louisiana.They use a German made smoke house with built in steamers. for their sausage. I was told that Buc ees receives their briskets from a company that uses these German smokers exclusively. Not a traditional TX style smoker system but I must say their brisket is pretty darn good.

It's a city named after a person, but is on I35 between Waco and Dallas. There's a place called The Czech Stop, and Slovacek's on opposite sides of the highway.

[@MkBibble]

We have been stopping at the Czech Stop for many many years, and I always feel guilty when we have to stop at the new-comer's place (Slovacek's) due to the time, or to use their dog park. The Czech Stop should definately be experienced if you're passing through West.

My grandma who was pure Czech used to make kolaches when I was a kid and they were amazing. I dont know what the hell they gave you though, sure wasn’t correct, that was like a pig in a blanket. A kolache was always like a dessert that was a round baked bread with a fruit type filling on the top of it.

[@dangkolache]

This is more of a klobasnek, but everyone around here calls these things kolaches, I don't get it. Go to West, stop by Gerik's or Slovaceks or Czech Stop (I prefer in that order) and get an actual kolache

Blessed to come from an area of Texas that has some Czech roots because I've always known kolaches as the pastry that you're talking about! I refuse to call anything else a kolaches..I call em pig in the blankets

[@bmettura]

All of my grandparents are of Czech heritage. A kolache is a fruit filled pastry, most commonly with a prune filling. The sausage in a bun thing is a Klobasnek. Calling those Kolaches would be like calling a taco an enchilada. It's just a little annoying to anyone with a dear ol' grandma, like me, who used to make real kolaches.

My two biggest criticisms of Bucees bbq is the price of course, and when they chop it up all the big blobs of fat all stay in the mix. Many times in the sandwiches and brisket tacos you get a huge mouthful of fat. Other than that as Jeremy said it’s no competition winner but it’s not that bad tasting either. Oh yeah, Bucees doesn’t sell any Pepsi products so don’t go looking for a late night Mountain Dew for the caffeine kick lol.

[@cross_fire_]

The chopped brisket gets the fat and the sliced sandwiches get the lean cuts. Pro tip

[@MetalMann-de3xi]

What do you compare the price to? A price less than BBQ joints? The price is fair to me considering its not some cheaply made brisket. Also, getting sliced brisket instead of chopped will reduce the fat content. If you don't like fat, don't order chopped brisket which is always the fatty side of the brisket.

[@j.l.emerson592]

Have you tried the brisket at The Texan in Schulenberg, Texas? It's much like Buc-ee's... a large truck stop, with a bazillion fuel pumps, large clean bathrooms, all the trucker paraphernalia you could ever want & lotsa MEAT!!! I recommend the Brisket Mac platter. I had never heard of such a combo before. It's about a pound of macaroni and cheese topped with a generous layer of shredded smoked brisket, BBQ sauce & jalapeños optional... You can buy a variety of pastries too, kolaches included. I died & went to heaven!!! Then, as you go to check out, you're confronted with bulk bins of jerky! Heaven!!!

Bucc-ees is an amazing place, I go there every day. Their brisket is hit and miss. Your review was spot on. It needs more smoke and is not too robust. Sometimes it’s very good, not the greatest, but sometimes it’s really disappointing. I don’t buy their brisket anymore. But I love that place ♥️ And as for Whataburger, you need to ask for the burger well done, and go with mayo instead of mustard. Then you’ll appreciate it. Go well-done on their patty melt and that thing is spectacular too.

[@patrickacox]

We have a Buc-ee's like 30 minutes (St. Augustine FL) from the house. It's a great place to get a cheap brisket sandwich and some of those cinnamon glazed pecans. We have another location 1.5 hours south in Daytona also. We can spend the day at Daytona Beach and grab a sandwich on the way home.

We stop at Buckey's on way to vacation in FL. It's solid. I grab a brisket sammy and a nanner puddin, maybe some nuts and other snacks. Coffee too if I got a long drive, which is always since we never go there, even though they are not that far away from us.

Their brisket tacos is where its at for me. Sometimes the sandwiches will still have some blobs of fat in it but overall pretty good for a gas station. Was this the Bucees in Temple? I live in Temple!

[@AbrahamRamirez-en6ku]

Bro big fan man… I use to work with your brother Yoder here in colorado man he’s the one that put me on also his brisket is awesome!!

[@imacarguy27]

The only time ive been to Buc-ees was in Athens Alabama and i grabbed a brisket sandwich. It was fantastic. Brst gas station food ive ever had by far. Here in Nevada our nicest gas station is Maverick, which you think is good gas station until you travel to the south or wisconsin to go to Buc-ees or Quik Trip

I'm so "mad" at you for stopping at Buc'ees. Makes me miss Texas even more! Forget the jerky on the wall. In the cold case, my favs are the hill country pepper and the garlic. My mouth is watering!! Thanks dude...

[@mambaout8and24]

Buc-ee's is awesome! We stopped at the one in Calhoun, GA on our way back from Disney, earlier this year. 😎

We go to Texas once a year for the Hotter 'n Hell 100 in Wichita Falls. We fly into DFW and there's a Buc-ee's on the way out. We get a brisket sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, a pound or two of jerky, homemade potato chips, nuts...the list goes on. Never seem to get out under $200

[@ahill209]

The nearest Buc-ee's to me is about an hour's drive away. Definitely worth a visit if one is near you. I agree, the brisket sandwiches are pretty decent. Just the smell when you walk in puts you in a good mood. They definitely are not the place you'd want to be with a heart issue or diabetes, but you only live once!

[@jameshamm7911]

I agree, been there twice (last time bought quite a few brisket: breakfast burritos and while greasy as hell: found them quite tasty).

[@austinsandi76]

It's been awhile since I've been to Buccees. The road munchies selection there are second to none! Glad you guys hit it! And... while you are in the Austin area.. please visit my Costco in Pflugerville! I would love to meet y'all!!

[@lostinspace2780]

Just had my first brisket sandwich yesterday at Buc-ee's. I LOVED it.

[@seancollins9597]

Tell Guga to do a Bucee's video while he is doing his book tour in Austin!

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

Should go back and get a breakfast burrito. I was impressed. Drove from Florida to California with my son and stopped in and was wishing there was one within a 100 miles of my home. Kinda like Barstow Del Taco good.

[@smokersonthewaterbbq2224]

Great video! I hope you had a chance to try their brisket tacos. They only offer them during the breakfast hours, unfortunately. I wish they would offer their brisket tacos all day long. And yes! Their beef jerky is worth the stop all by itself.

[@joelisaac735]

This is great! Welcome to Buc-cee's! The club melt is awesome!

[@8329kelso]

I love bucees!! My favorite stop for smoked meats(even more then bucees) is Prasek's in Hillje Texas. It's a few miles south of a Houston. I don't know if you'll ever go that way, but I definitely recommend. It's my happy place.

[@kevinlocke3400]

I'm a native Texan living in Colorado and they're building a Buc-ee's 10 miles from my house. Been a long wait.

[@kerbytorres4077]

bucees is a must on every road trip leaving houston. im glad you liked it

[@nategibbons172]

Last summer, my wife planned our entire week itinerary in Texas around Buckys. You should’ve seen her face when she realized that our hotel was was right behind the Buc ee’s in new Braunfels.

[@teddymartinii1979]

I've stopped at Buc-cee's many times driving around Texas. First reason, nice, clean bathrooms. Then, plenty of options for food and beverages.

[@zombiespongebob6903]

"i do not regret my decisions" put it on the shirt. awesome review

[@cwjustcw1261]

Love some Buccees brisket sandwiches when we pass them by. We got one right across from Bass Pro Shop so makes a great stop.
