If you have ever driven on a major highway in Texas you would surly seen a sign or billboard for Bucee’s. Bucee’s is a truck stop on steroids. They have tons of gas pumps, car washes, and the cleanest bathrooms. And do not think I am making that up about the bathrooms, they even promote it.
What I love about Bucee’s is their food and snacks. They offer everything you would need for a long drive from Houston to San Antonio or Austin to Dallas.
If you like kolaches they have several to choose from. Both sweet and savory.
If you like beef jerky, then they have you covered. It is all fresh, just waiting for you. It is fresh in their cases, not pre-packaged.
When people think of Texas, BBQ comes to mind. In the center of each store is their BBQ pit. They are chopping up fresh brisket, pulled pork, and chicken. They even offer fresh smoked sausages on a stick. They make up sandwiches that are hot and ready for you to grab. I had a pulled pork BBQ sandwich that was delicious. It was smoky and sweet from the sauce.
They also have great cheese and meat trays that they pack up and are perfect for on the go travel. I really liked their summer sausage with cheddar and pepper-jack cheese. The summer sausage was full of peppery flavor.
Their snack mixes are also perfect for traveling. The spicy mix I picked up was not too hot. It had a nice blend of nuts, sesame sticks, and bagel chips. The bags are great for a car or airplane.
And if you have been in the car for a while, Bucee’s has an entire store inside where you can shop for souvenirs.
Bucee’s truly is an experience. It is like nothing I have seen before. During my trip to Texas I visited 4 different ones. Each one offered the same experience. If you are in Texas you must put Bucee’s on your list.
