I’m a native Texan so I’ve seen my fair share of Bucees. My family stopped at one last week after a quiet week on the beach and I was NOT READY. Nothing prepares you for the sheer chaos. It truly is the Disneyland of gas stations. The building was packed to the brim with people gazing out at the sites like tourists, children were roving in packs, and trying to order kolaches was a harrowing experience. If you’re visiting Bucees for the first time, go BEFORE you decompress because your stop will definitely put you into fight or flight mode.

[@GRINGAperoLATINA]

Try the one in Baytown, it's generally not so packed.

I think I've had the fortune of stopping in less than peak times, such as on work travel. Since I was alone last Thanksgiving, I took a field trip to get kolaches in the morning a day or two before. There was a small line, but not chaotic.

It literally was WalMart for a couple of days while more power was getting restored. She worked like 18 hrs straight when it first opened, it was pretty insane. Want to say it was her and another gal and the manager to cover all 24 hrs, that was IT, and trying to make what they had in the store last while the mgr was working on getting trucks in with some goods/gas.

That sums up a Buc-ee's. Good food, good merchandise, and definitely a stop to help you stretch on those long drives. Also, they are not kidding about both cleanliness of the restrooms and the size either. The only way you will ever see a line at a Buc-ee's restroom is if there are about 3 or 4 buses outside as well as the usual customers. Ok, it might be a slight exaggeration, emphasis on the word slight. And finally, as a food reviewer on KZbin going by the handle of Strictly Dumpling said, it has better BBQ than you would find in New York City. Yeah, I know it isn't a high bar to clear, but it is still funny a Texas gas station can beat any BBQ place in New York City.

[@alechorn1109]

Some friends did a rod trip going from Buc-ee to Buc-ee. I understand that is a thing. Read that Tesla cut a deal to install charging stations. I hope it takes 4 hrs to charge so my wife won’t get mad at me for hanging around.

[@lonestar1637]

My favorite buccees road trip snack is the cup of sliced dried sausage and chunks of rat cheese, and yes, you can do your Christmas shopping there.

[@kerncountyrd5263]

Buc-ee's is the only place that I've ever been where "Restroom Attendant" is a fulltime job!

[@jonathanamsden7511]

My favorite Buc-ees billboard was on I-10 near Tallahassee going west: Buc-ees, 794 miles. That was a few years ago, before Buc-ees expanded into Alabama.

[@williampapadopoulos8145]

And their gas is like $.80 a gallon less than everybody else is in the entire state, so you can afford that extra extra extra large brisket sandwich for $12.99! And some home made potato chips…AND a candied pecan cone…with an extra large drink! MY favorite place off of the interstate fer sure!

[@goudagirl6095]

Lived in TX for 30+ years. Buccee's was a staple there. Moved back home to Wisconsin (no comment). Then I heard the news....WE'RE GETTING A BUCCEE'S!!! Of course, they're making us wait a year but STILL! WOO HOO!

[@geegergwisley7977]

My first buc-ees adventure was was last week. I stopped at the one in Florence, sc and the Calhoun store. All in the same day. It was life changing

[@jeffreysmith236]

I am in Greenville. I am considering driving to Florence just t visit the Buc-ees.

[@geegergwisley7977]

@@jeffreysmith236 it’s well worth it. I was on my way back to Nashville from Myrtle beach

[@bethmoss4211]

I live in Greenville. We made a special trip to Florence for opening day. My sister and I stretched this to include a little beach time too!

[@ericperez7505]

I’m from CA and when I went to Buccees I was in awe, this place had made me feeling like I was on Main Street in Disneyland!

[@paigehinkle91]

I am Texas born and raised but live in another state. My husband and I went to Texas a couple of weeks ago and it was his first time. He really enjoyed his first Buc-ee’s experience. I was watching this will laying on the Buc-ee’s pillow pet we got there. 😅 Man I really wish I could go to a Buc-ee’s all the time.

[@moriyahviera6444]

Thank you for mentioning Gomer Pyle! That's my favorite show!

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

The more I hear about this place, the more I desire to visit it. They haven't reached us here in NC yet, but there's always several opportunities on the way to our next family vacation down to Florida...

[@absolutjackal]

If you go down 75 there is one in Warner-Robbins

[@thedoubledowner5359]

Just built one in Florence, SC right off of I-95. Will seem the perfect stop going down to FL from NC.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Eventually there will be one in Sevierville Tennessee.

The first time I walked into a Bucee's the angels sang the same song as when I walked into my first HEB

[@Pxzvamp33]

Oh yes, You speak the truth. Sadly I moved from Texas (Yes, Mistakes Were Made), I miss my HEB, Bucee’s and TORCHY’S Tacos sooo much!

That true. I live in Oregon but visit my daughter and family in San Antonio 2 or 3 times a year. Bucee’s is fun and I love H.E.B. Always bring something back to Oregon from there. Love Texas.

[@Bad_Llama]

I stop in at Buc-ee's every morning at 4:45 on my way to work and get a drink. Love that store.

[@faeriefire78]

We were in awe when they built one here in St. Augustine, Florida. So many pumps. So much to see. And it's a decor and clothing store inside?! 🤯 I still get a little mental giggle when I see the "Potty like a rock star" billboards. The bathrooms are spotless and the food is so good for a gas station. You can also get knock-off Rae Dunn dishes for twice the price while you fight through crowds of customers, and weirdly textured eggs in their breakfast offerings, so you definitely get a mixed bag when you visit the place. 😆

[@AshlieVelker-ve2qb]

I have the BEST buccees story! It would make a great video, it was RIDICULOUS, yet hilarious.

[@SymphoniasStories]

We got to see Buc-ee's for the first time last fall on a road trip, after finding out about it from It's a Southern Thing. I was quite impressed.

[@mannfan12]

The biggest Buc-ees just opened in Luling Texas - the closest one to my house. (YAY!)😁

[@TheRecon1a]

The one on Hillsboro opened a month ago. It's always packed! But always clean!

[@ssjess2504]

I never thought about the fact they sell all that food and there are no tables 😂😂😂

[@mangamaster03]

That was my first thought. No place to eat, and light leather car interiors don't mix with barbecue sauce.

[@seanmce8132]

People would never leave if they did have a place to sit.

[@bjackson30303]

Smart NOT to have tables.

[@thegrumpytexan]

They also don't sell lottery tickets. Prevents people from clogging up the checkout lines.

[@cats400]

@@thegrumpytexan Wow. I never noticed that

[@rosemanos5123]

I had never see a Buc-ee until my daughter and I drove from Columbia, SC to Raleigh, NC for a concert. We stopped at Buc-ees on the way to Raleigh for some food and were so impressed that we stopped again on the way back for more food.. We saw everybody else who was driving from SC to that concert at Buc-ee's on the drive there and back. lol. If I'm driving anywhere and see a Buc-ee's, I stop and shop. That place is awesome.

[@johnbrownlee5213]

I went to a buccees for the first time in my life this past weekend. I told my wife that it's like a combination of a circle k, a super Walmart, and a Disney gift shop.

[@rockysquirrel4776]

I got the Buc-ee's experience three years ago on a road trip to Florida. I think I stopped at most of the ones along I-10 along the way, and it was a genuine treat. Makes me wish they'd make their way to Arizona, because they'd have instant customers!

The city over from me is getting a Buc-ees soon, and I can't wait to stress out from spending so much money there ☺

[@thegreatauthoress4570]

First time I went to a Buc-ees was when I moved to Texas. I was just looking around like 'how is this a gas station' It was certainly an experience.

[@huu7hbbjko]

That brisket is awesome. And he has the almighty beaver nuggets in hand. Road food! The bathrooms will sell ya'll on stopping...after you walk 47 acres of gas pumps.

[@colleens1878]

Gas Pro Shop ⛽ I wish those were there when I lived in Texas It looks awesome 🦫

[@samanthajo1987]

Keep going back to this video. Hilarious!!! If anyone is planning on going to Bucc-ees and haven't been there before there are a few things I recommend: 1. Have fun experimenting with different Bucc-ees brand fountain drink sodas. I was pleasantly surprised! 2. Try the club sandwich, it's wonderful! If too spicy, get some mayo packets to tone it down. 3. Don't be afraid to ask to sample some fudge. They do that here, plus it helps you decide what to buy! 4. If getting a pudding I recommend the small size. There's the same amount of whipped topping on top as the large, so it goes further with the small. 5. Don't go on a weekend or Friday night because the crowd is a nightmare. Do research on Google of the slow times so you can have a more easy going experience. Some other items I really think are tasty and recommend: frosted cinnamon roll, birthday cake whoopie pie, sausage kolache, raspberry flavored yogurt pretzels, milk chocolate crispy rice Overbite, Assorted Sours, Blueberry Cheesecake Fudge, White Cheddar Nug-gees, and chocolate chip cookie dough bites. Have fun and stay safe!!!

[@aubreemoize7150]

We were at a church in KY that had a Christian school. They’d just gotten a Buc-ee’s in their area and that’s where they took the kids for a field trip. 😂 They took us along, too, and we had a great time comparing and sharing everything we’d bought on the ride home. Side note: if you love chocolate and peanut butter, get an Overbite!!! It’s usually at the registers (if they’re not sold out). Best thing they have, no joke. We get it every time.

[@Mimi-un5tr]

I'm from Kentucky and we got our first Buc-ees this spring. I was in love from the first minute I walked in LOL I wish I could say I was kidding, but nope! I go there for any excuse I get. Oh, we need ice, I will run to Buc-ees even though we have a gas station 1/8 mile from the house and Buc-ees is 10 miles away, I'm still going

[@Ragnar676]

Yeah I'm born and raised from dallas area...raised in the city next to the city that used to hold the trianin camp for the cowboys...and I was surrounded by football..my home city was literally called the cowboys...from the right spot I could see the spiral staircase from a infront of my house...but ever since Jerry Jones ran off Jimmy Johnson we've had what i call he Jerry Jones curse.

Matt: I'm going to steal your phrase Gas Pro Shop!! Brilliant and so true. Yes, God blessed Texas and gave us the Cowboys. Then Satan got a hold of Jerry Jones and he ticked-off Jimmy Johnson. Then ol' Jerry decided to be Coach, (y'all know that it's true)!! Thusly, we haven't even sniffed the Lombardi Trophy since Daddy George Bush was in the White House. Now I'm depressed and I'm going to Buc-ee's to do some Christmas shopping.
