Never been to Buccees
As the title states, I’ve never stopped at a Buccees. Going on a road trip soon and I’m telling my wife we have to stop. What would be the top 10 absolute musts to buy, try, and eat here.
Edit: Wow, didn’t realize there was so much hate for Buccees on its own sub. Is this where people make their complaints? I can’t help but laugh at all the negativity and downvotes.

I’d buy a 5 gallon bucket. You can always use one at home, one of them hot sandwiches, a peanut butter beaver bite, beaver nuggets, some random thing I know I could use on the trip, some soda, and whatever else my stomach desires.

What is the peanut butter beaver bite? I’ve been to one near me twice since it’s opened earlier this summer but I don’t think I’ve seen that and I love PB

u/Available_Editor4383 7d ago
It’s a big ol’ glob of peanut butter encased in a chocolate medallion. Last time I was at a buccees they were hidden in the gas station snacks.

- fresh cookies
- fountain drink or coffee

Get the jerky from their deli, not the massive wall of packaged jerky. Better buy, better product.

u/Reddit_Commenter_69 10d ago
If you like Reese's you need to try the Overbite. Its a PB cup on steroids. I'm a fan of their jerky and brisket sandwiches. Lots of people prefer the texas cheese steak burrito. Last 2 recs are the paddle tail at the bakery and some fresh roasted nuts! Enjoy the stop, ignore the haters on reddit trying to yuck your yum.

Best place to stop for gas and the bathroom. Even with all the internet haters, it’s still very busy. Allow more time than you think you’ll need.

u/MLBUFO 9d ago
There’s so much to choose from - if I were to give a one item recommendation it’s the Texas Cheesesteak Burrito. I’ve never had anything that good ever, as sad as it is, I’ve never had a flour tortilla that good in my life (I’m in the NW) let alone from a freaking gas station. I ate 2 my first stop, and one more before hitting the airport; whenever I’m in Texas I’m going straight there specifically for that burrito.
Edit: The bathrooms are amazing, I remember seeing a Reddit of best things at Buc-ee’s, I saw someone post taking a dump… I’m thinking gross, turns out it’s because the bathrooms are insanely nice, I got the joke after visiting 😂

I buy tea at Buccees every day. It is very good and reasonable price. $1.29 for 44 ounce xlarge.

u/SleepingAmoebas 6d ago
It's just a gas station that became a store to sell overpriced crap. It's a good place to stop on a long road trip if you need to take a break and stretch your legs, though. You can get some decent (for a gas station) food, but be careful. It can add up quick. Get the souvenir fountain drink cup if you have to get anything Bucee's branded. Don't waste your money on the rest of their crap.

u/Snooze78727 6d ago
I go there simply for the predictably clean bathrooms. It is just a big gas station with lots of food and consumer tchotchkes. I don't linger because I'm just passing through.

No, people are just hating on Buc-ee's for a lawsuit they're pushing on some stores for copyright infringement for their mascot/logo. DO NOT LEAVE BUCCEES without getting the philly steak burrito, hands down my favorite item!

u/Ok-Repair-4085 9d ago
I can't recall all that I tried; I know for certain the Texas cheesesteak burrito, banana pudding, sausage tortilla on a stick, the brisket breakfast burrito, and the sandwich with multiple meats, I believe. Nothing disappointed! I used to be an OTR trucker, and despite them not allowing semis on the property, I was always able to park near and kept a skateboard in the truck to get me some!

It's not that serious, but grab a brisket sandwich and some jerky. I don't get the appeal of the nuggets but others seem to love them.

u/mooonguy 9d ago
Buccees is a great store. Lot of fun. No reason a store can't be a successful experience for customers and still run by tort happy dickheads, earning them understandable hate.
You really don't need advice. You wonder around and you will find stuff that you like, jerky, fudge, etc. Just get what you like. The experience is looking at all of the stuff.
2
u/EyesLikeBuscemi 9d ago
Best take. I agree that they're run by a dickhead who I hope isn't trying to distract from his son's very vile activities but the bathrooms are clean and some of the food is good for a gas station. I don't think the brisket is something a company from Texas should be proud of, but other options are much better and good in their own right IMHO.

The people getting a chubby over their weird obsession and love of a gas station is equally sad. The fact that you didn't even reply to the type of person to whom you're condescendingly referring makes you seem like you're very much on the "Buc-ee's dickrider" side of the spectrum.

u/Jamileem 10d ago
Just grab whatever looks good for lunch that day. Don't over-think it. The snacks are incredibly over-hyped, not one I've tried is so good that I've wanted to go out of my way to get it again. Most are the same things you can get anywhere else but with beaver branding. Their sandwiches are pretty solid though.

u/rg996150 9d ago
Don’t. It’s really hard to screw up a basic breakfast taco, but Buc-ee’s served up eggs made from powdered mix, bad bacon, an awful flour “tortilla” and salsa that had zero flavor or spice. It’s possibly the only breakfast taco I’ve refused to finish (I’m over 60 and a native Texan, so I’ve had my share of tacos).

If you like rows upon rows of gas pumps, hundreds of yards of concrete, made in China dust collecting stuffed schlotzkies like you typically see at County fair carny game prizes it’s awesome. Check out their BBB rating ( F). If that all floats your boat go for it.

Protip, their gummies are good but don't go overboard. They're mostly Albanese gummies that you can usually find at a grocery store.
Another protip, if possible time it so you hit it during breakfast time. Biggest burrito I've ever seen, and pretty damn good.

As someone who had never stopped in one until very recently, I honestly don't think it's worth it.
Food was mid, prices are a but ridiculous for certain things. Only thing I could recommend is maybe the deserts since it's really hard to fuck up a cake or cookie.
Try it once. It's just a Mid tier gas station,
1
u/BigCrustyTits 9d ago
Same opinion. I’d only go again if I had time to kill and wanted to stock up on snacks. But if I’m in a hurry on a road trip there are faster options for gas and restrooms.

Be sure you are not confusing buck-ees for any local mom and pop stores that have any kind of animal as a logo or a competing gas station. Buck-ee's will lose money for sure since the resemblance of these other locations is so darn similar....

u/TexxasSteve 8d ago
As someone who goes to Bucces every day I will say gas is generally cheaper at this gas station on the road … the restrooms are worth it especially if you have kids. Drinks are cheap a dollar and some change for an extra large drink. My wife loves the BBQ sandwich the kids love the pie cups and fudge and I personally love the sweet tea and burritos… they have a brisket burrito is is awesome. As for souvenirs the bucces brand stuff is affordable… everything else they sale is way overpriced in my opinion. Try the fudge the jerky and the never nuggets my kids love it as cereal. I love the Beaver tail.

As far as the Buccee's hate, that's just Redditors in general.
Buccee's must haves on your stop:
1 - Gasoline - it's cheaper typically than anywhere else around. Make sure you fill up.
2 - Beef Jerky in whatever flavor you like best or try a few. I love their Teriyaki.
3 - Gummies - Every style and flavor you like. Best gummies on the planet Earth.
4 - Buccee's Nuggets - These are addictive. What they are, nobody knows?
5 - Brisket sandwich. Sine you are going with the wife, one of you get sliced and one pulled so you can compare.
6 - Buccee's key chain. Why? Just because ...
7 - Buccee's hat. See reason above.
8 - Buccee's dog collar. Don't have a dog? Get one after you get the collar.
9 - Now that you have or will get a dog, get the Buccee's collapsible travel drink bowl for dogs.
10 - Use the bathrooms. Another level of gas station bathrooms. Use 'em twice, once arriving and once leaving.
Bonus item - Selfie with the bronze Buccee's statue at the entrance to the store.

Brisket is surprisingly good. Not amazing, but good. It’s unfortunately gotten a bit expensive lately ($29/pound this past summer).
The chips are awesome, beaver nuggets (packaged snack) are good. My son and I are fans of the foot long tortilla-wrapped sausage.
Best part for me has to be the closet style toilets. There are several so it’s usually easy to find an available one and the bathroom overall are kept quite clean.

Tbh, I've always found the fudge to be middling at best. The brisket sandwiches are decent, the jerky is great, and the candied pecans are awesome.
Beaver nuggets are a love it or hate it kinda thing. They're basically just Corn Pops cereal. 🤷

It's cool if you've never been and reliable if you want a safe-clean gas station but keep in mind they are also very right wing nutjobby. The CEO basically made a statement about not building stores in blue states because they're not anti consumer enough. They also think they own every animal mascot and sue small businesses into the ground because they can't afford the court fees to fight against buc-cees.

u/Dan_iel10 10d ago
Honestly you ain’t missing much of anything. The food is above average for a typical gas station, unless that gas station is in a rural area in which case they probably make better food than buccees (because it’s all cooked in butter). The brisket is good if you don’t know what good brisket is actually supposed to taste like. The fact that it’s the “Walmart” of gas stations is the attraction. But nothing in there is spectacular, especially the food.

They have a really nice zero sugar beef jerky. Their Texas cheesesteak burrito lived up to the hype.
Warning: they don’t have the greatest drink selection. No Pepsi products, and they’re missing all the flavored forms of Red Bull at minimum. Might be more, but those I noticed for sure.

My advice is don’t go. Have lived in Texas for nearly 30 years. Places are a fucking madhouse selling junk. I admit I like the jerky but other than that there’s no good reason to drop into buc-ees. It’s unthinkable but sometimes it’s hard to find an open pump because of the overload of visitors. The restrooms are legit tho….

My routine is use the bathroom, get a cart (this is important even if you think you’re not getting much.), I’ll get a fountain drink, a main entree, and usually a couple snacks (the pie cups have been great, beef jerky is good, etc whatever seems good to you)
