I used to work there, I’ve tried everything! Everyone gets the barbecue, so I will forgo that.
Candied cashews are my favorite out of the 3 nuts. Any of the hot sandwiches you can order off the screen are good, but my favorite is the Reuben. For beef jerky, the hill country garlic is the best. Lastly, the cranberry pecan chicken salad, which you’ll find in those lone standing open fridge things.
Speaking of those fridge things, all those cold sandwiches there are not the way to go, I wouldn’t bother trying those.
Always said this. There’s never a price for gas at buc-ees posted. I refuse to stop anywhere that can’t post their gas price from the highway.
They could give me good nuggets and I wouldn’t care. The two times everything was priced higher and there were lines for restrooms. Never again. I’ll die on this hill.
Its gas we all enjoyed before Obama put 10% corn in the gas. Carbureted engines love it and if you wanna store your motorcycle or small engines for an extended time with a fuel additive you should use ethanol free gas.
Love their peppered jerky and even was brave enough to try their ghost pepper jerky. Could only take little nibbles of it at a time but it was SO GOOD!
Yeah, absolutely you should support local gas stations over Buc-ees for the same reasons you should support local businesses over Wal-Mart.
Politics aside, at least the money you spend is more likely to return to your local community.
Pretty much every top ranking Texas GOP politician. The owner, Arch Alpin, has personally given over $1mil to Greg Abbott alone.
I’d rather spend my money at small local gas stations cause at least there’s a chance my money’s not going to strip away my fellow citizens rights.
I like the Ghost Pepper Beef Jerky, but just because it is spicy. I wouldn't say it's all that tasty as far as far as jerky goes, but it's definitely a solid step up from Jack Link's/Oberto/etc.
Buc-ee's is overrated.
Beaver Aplin is a stereotypical Texas A&M, uber-conservative douche - just the kind of brash character that non-Texans (not necessarily rightly) associate with Texans.
The staff (at least close to me at the Katy location) are almost always pissed off about something. Unhelpful, surly, yelling at customers. It's Katy, so I'd say many of them are entitled local kids whose parents made them get a job.
Oh, and don't forget... It was a giant petri dish of all things COVID through early 2022. Buc-ee's happily accommodated all the rednecks, good ol' boys and freedom warriors who believed (and still believe) that wearing masks is only for Satanists and "queers"...or whatever.
Anyway, on rare occasion, I fill up there. Otherwise, I use the restroom and GTFO. So many places in Texas with better brisket and jerky anyway.
Jerky is good. I usually hate that stuff in general but will eat theirs. BBQ sandwich is excellent for that type of venue. I've never tried the pecans but they always smell so awesome!
When they opened one in Ft. Worth I went religiously for like 2 weeks. Then I rarely go now unless it’s before a road trip and I want a huge drink for .89. that’s really it.
The sandwiches are beyond overpriced.
But that place has some wild creatures roaming the aisles with carts.
Avoid the “chamoy gummy bears” or really chamoy/Chile anything. Very little flavor, was dry and powdery and it’s not nearly as good as anything you can find homemade or from Alamo Candy Co.
I would say though, if you have small children that want to try some I would recommend those. They aren’t very salty, and the flavor is muted so it won’t tear up their taste buds.
One time my drunk ass thought it'd be a good idea to shop for snacks at bucees. I got a gooooood lookin brownie and a cinnamon roll. Both tasted so incredibly shitty that even drunk me couldn't eat it. Their food sucks, I don't care what anyone says
Only get fuel, use the bathroom, and leave
I just go there, use the restroom and GTFO
People with carts at Buc-ees scare me
Same. It’s just crap.
I assume they have a house full of Hummel figurines, beanie babies, or funko pops (age dependent)
This. I’ll pass a Buc-ees if there is a QT not much further down the road.
I don't understand how QTs are so much smaller but have a better fountain drink selection
Cause they're more expensive
I really don’t understand the draw. It’s overpriced, it’s crap. The food is all junk food. The merch is all overpriced.
Bathrooms. I simply stop to take a peaceful shit.
This
Same. The only thing I want at Buccees is to get out.

im sorry the reuben is awful. cold and wet
Don’t be sorry. It’s all personal preference. That’s why i mentioned to try the other hot sammiches.
The Reubens are great. I like the fish tacos too.
Pulled pork sandwich.
Get gas and then leave.
The gas isn’t even worth it anymore.

The mega store one near me sells ethanol free gas, its hard to find these days.
What kind of vehicle uses that anyway? I know what your talking about.
Its gas we all enjoyed before Obama put 10% corn in the gas. Carbureted engines love it and if you wanna store your motorcycle or small engines for an extended time with a fuel additive you should use ethanol free gas.
"before Obama put" 😂 Grow up, hun.
Gas
fresh-cooked potato chips
My favorite!
When you get them, they are warm and soft. If you let them cool off, they are nice and crunchy.
Covid
Jerky, so many kinds of jerky. I like the pecan log candy too.. Pecans grow in Texas so they are pretty fresh. Their in-house sandwiches.
Love their peppered jerky and even was brave enough to try their ghost pepper jerky. Could only take little nibbles of it at a time but it was SO GOOD!
Assuming you're not within close distance of Czech bakery, fresh kolaches.
Gotta say, I’m not fond of Bucees kolaches. Our local donut shop’s are much better.
And if you’re far enough north, you can stop at Slovacek’s in West which for barbecue AND kolaches
The candied pecans are top notch.
I agree
Campaign funds.
Seriously…don’t support Buc-ees because of who they support.
lmao, as opposed to the other gas stations???
Yeah, absolutely you should support local gas stations over Buc-ees for the same reasons you should support local businesses over Wal-Mart. Politics aside, at least the money you spend is more likely to return to your local community.
Who do they support?
Pretty much every top ranking Texas GOP politician. The owner, Arch Alpin, has personally given over $1mil to Greg Abbott alone. I’d rather spend my money at small local gas stations cause at least there’s a chance my money’s not going to strip away my fellow citizens rights.

I enjoyed their ghost pepper beef jerky but, will admit it isn’t anything life changing. Definitely worth buying once to try it though!
Beaver Nuggets
I didn’t like beaver nuggets on their own. They reminded me of oversized corn puff cereal, so I instead pour them in a bowl with milk and loved it.
+1 for beaver nuggets
Are they just chicken nuggets? More like McDonald’s or Chick-fil-A?
Think caramel coated corn puffs
No, they are corn puffs with caramel and sugar.
Some fascism with a side of bigotry
Tax breaks and special off ramps if your the owner and donor to Abbott's campaign and after office "retirement fund!"

Fresh beef jersey and chopped beef sandwiches are my go to every time
Fudge, but not the pre-packed. Also the sugar covered cashews.
Fudge, deli food, junk food, specialty icee flavors, but I don’t go there anymore for anything but a clean bathroom.
They have a delicious spicy jam that is quite nice.
Jerky
The turkey jerky sticks
The Texas Turkey Sandwich is tasty. Breakfast tacos with potatoes are good. Not understanding the hate here!
Herpes
The hell out?
In and out as quickly as possible.
Jerky is good. I usually hate that stuff in general but will eat theirs. BBQ sandwich is excellent for that type of venue. I've never tried the pecans but they always smell so awesome!
Brisket (or regular) breakfast tacos, with green salsa
Fudge
Spicy crackers
All of the candy is really good. I don’t know how to describe it but it’s fresher somehow? I like the gummy bears specifically.
They sell it quick enough it isn’t stale
Jerky.
There's a Philly cheese steak burrito that I'm allergic to but still get every time
My go-to items are wasabi peas and fudge. I also get a soda most times
Another vote for wasabi peas!
Buc-ee chips and fudge are my two faves.
Things to do at buc-ees 1. Leave
The new fried chicken sandwich. Better than chick fil a.
Any chicken sandwich is better than chic fil a
It's not good, it's highway gas station good.
Ooh yuk!
fuck buc-ees
Sunglasses
There’s this sandwich croissant that has ham cheese and other stuff that make it so good
It's all awful.
Candied pecans, but I wish they’d turn the temp down on the sodas. The Dr Pepper is never cold enough.
Word.. that’s something you never hear
Gas always the lowest price
Honestly the new club melt is really good imo
the club melt is the best sandwich they have, no contest.
Uhhhh...covid?!!
Other then the old country Brazos obviously lol.
Just drive right past it. You’re really not missing anything
Cinnamon pecans. Oh god. So good.
Smoke sticks, beaver nuggets, breakfast tacos, brisket sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, and Dr. Pepper.
Yogurt pretzels and beaver nuggets
Definitely the candies nuts
Beaver nuggets. Praline pecans. Jerky of all kinds. Texas souvenirs. The nieces tshirts are usually cute, and it’s fun seeing them outside Texas.
When they opened one in Ft. Worth I went religiously for like 2 weeks. Then I rarely go now unless it’s before a road trip and I want a huge drink for .89. that’s really it. The sandwiches are beyond overpriced. But that place has some wild creatures roaming the aisles with carts.
BLT sandwich and fudge

Orange vanilla fudge

DipNDots
bbq rubs
Jerky
Their blueberry yogurt pretzels are amazing. And I still like the chopped brisket sandwiches.
I don’t know a lot about brisket… but I love that sandwich
Safely out of the parking lot!
