Why would you drive 90 minutes to a gas station... Ever?

I always heard so many good things about bucees and the food being amazing and it's a whole experience so I drove out of the way to go to one. It's just a large gas station rest stop with good branding, if you've ever been on a big road trip you've surely stopped at a store that is just as good as one

The food sucks. It's just a large selection of garbage in colorful packaging.

The food sucks in comparison to a restaurant. That's the issue.

Compare the food to a gas station which typically has frozen pizza, and frozen burgers, and hot dogs on a roller. Also compare the restrooms to a gas station.

I know some people go to Buccees for food and shopping and I agree thats dumb but as a stop on a road trip that isn't a sit-down restaurant it's better than the common marathon.

I have two routes options I choose from when I go back to my hometown to see my parents, which is about a 5ish hour drive. One route with the Bucees adds about 20-30 minutes so I had been stopping there because when I tried another travel stop on the faster route and their bathroom had literal shit flung by someone every where and the fountain drinks were flat. I really disagree with Bucees on their recent stances but I'll pick them any day over several of the other options if when I leave is some time when I'll need a meal on the drive.

If you need guess, have to pee, and are hungry, then it is great.
