What I thought of immediately when you showed the foods not to buy for the road was "those okra and pickled eggs are going to create a fart fest in the car!" LOL
@cynthiajordan8751 - Someone should walk up to that empty car and pretend to be the owner checking the pressure on the driver’s side rear, only they’re letting the air out of it. Bet no one even notices with so many pumps at that place. Driver gets to deal with that later. Buc-ee’s must have air pumps somewhere nearby.
Sorry, if they note "free refills" as a benefit, refilling any number of times (as long as you aren't just dumping the content) is expected. That is foolish.
Don’t pass up the bathrooms. They are the cleanest out on the road. Don’t forget to get a Bucees t shirt. They have different ones for different seasons.
@@emgmcg9146 T for true! But don’t “park” your vehicle at the pump. Park it one of the hundreds of empty parking spots available on site. The go enjoy a sit in one of the cleanest stalls around!
Huge pet peeve is the people that park at the pumps. You know going inside is not going to be quick. Be polite and move your car to an actual parking spot!!
On family vacations in the 1960's and 1970's driving from Maryland to Florida and back, I remember my dad stopping at Stuckey's, Horne's, and South of the Border. We also ate at Howard Johnson's restaurants. It's sad to see many or all of these businesses have closed.
I don't see a big deal about getting a refill on sodas. Almost all restaurants give free refills on sodas and iced tea. What I don't like is after people get gas, they go shopping for awhile and leave their car parked at the gas pump. I go to the Daytona Beach, Florida Buc-ee's quite often and even with 104 gas pumps, many times it is hard to find an open pump. I notice quite a few cars at gas pumps with nobody pumping gas, or people sitting in the car.
Buccees isn't a restaurant. It's a gas station. No one is supposed to have free refills at gas stations. Shell, ExxonMobil, Phillips 66. Think of Buccees as a simple gas station, but on steroids. ❤
Take advantage of their free sample offerings, it will keep you from making the mistake we made, buying a prepackaged fudge, and then not liking some of the chosen flavors.
Don't eat all of the Buc' ees food you can consume in one day unless you are planning on camping in another Buc' ees restrooms down the road the next day. The restrooms are five-star clean and comfortable, though remember the golden rule. People make it so.
@@snowcrash4286: It would be funny if you zip-tied a shopping cart to a car that was left at the pumps while the car owner was inside shopping !!! That works well on cars parked in handicap parking spaces without a placard in the car or a handicap license plate !!!!
We got our first taste of Buc-eyes at the Sevierville, TN location last December in our way from NC to CO! I was blown away!!! We both had a BBQ Beef Brisket Sandwich and it was wonderful and worth the price! So we stopped again in the way back to NC and had another sandwich each!!! I wish it was closer and also glad it’s not or I’d be eating that BBQ sandwich all the time!!!
I have a friend who pays more than $30 just for a bag of unshelled pecans from Buccees. Oh yes, they are the freshest and tastiest pecans you'll ever try, but come on!! ❤❤❤
They need to have separate gas pumps for people with RVs. The one in Robertsdale AL, has lots of people with RVs taking up both gas pumps, or parking them at the gas pump and going inside. It's a nightmare for those with regular vehicles
We often stop at several Buc-ees along I 95 on our back and forths to Florida. Learned quickly, the bathrooms are great but the food is crazy expensive. I paid $15 each for two Bbq brisket sandwiches . I could have eaten in a real sit down restaurant for that much. Gas, toilet, go.....
We got stuck in a gridlock at the Bucees on I-10 in Alabama for nearly an hour trying to get out. Large RV's and trailers and only one entrance in and out. One of the managers came out looked around and went back inside. I said never again.
The first time I went into a buc-ee's it was truly amazing the smell of the food the atmosphere and it was hard to decide what I wanted to eat because there's so many things you want to try I guess it's part of the attraction you have to keep going back until you've tried everything
Amen. I moved here to Texas ten years ago, and the first time I went inside, it was like the gates of heaven opened, and I swear I heard angels singing.
@@franknew9001 Thought you were asking where I was going in SC. My daughter lives in Columbia and I live in Tenn. so I stop at the 2 Buc-ee's on the way.
Have heard of Buc-ees from my diet of US bike touring videos being Aussie I have been to places a bit like Buc-ees but obviously a lot smaller. If I ever visit the US Buc-ees would definitely be on my to do list just for the curiosity. Great video thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My only time at Bucc-ee's, it was like going shopping the day after Thanksgiving. I was afraid my autistic may get sensory overload. I got it. He handled the visit like a champ.
@ mikenonya6382-- I remember "South Of The Border" very well. Back in the 1960's and 1970's on family vacations from Maryland to Florida and back, we would always stop at SOTB. Back then, it was always packed with people, almost like Buc-ee's is now. In the past ten years or so, It seems like fewer and fewer stop at SOBT. The last few times that I was there, it seemed like a ghost town. Now that a Buc-ee's is in Florence, SC, and is less than 30 miles from SOBT, it wouldn't surprise me if they shut down.
@@franknew9001 Funny. I'm from Dundalk area. I remember stopping there with my parents on trip to FL. Then stopping there with my own kids. Yeah, it really is a ghost town now.
I was concerned when I read your title but love your video. I totally agree with you in all aspects. Take time? My wife has spend the better part of 1 1/2 hours walking around. How in the world can a "gas station" get such a fan base? NO IDEA, but they do, and we are part of that. OH, the last visit, (we mostly go to the St. Augustine location) we purchased the cooler for $20. That is one kind of deal. Very well built, and I would put it against any other cooler, even the one that begins with a Y.
We got the cheesesteak burrito. When we unwrapped it or tried to the paper stuck to a 12 dollar burrito and we ripped the burrito and it took about 10 minutes to peel it off. We had to throw most of it away. What me and my husband ate of it was good but not worth 12 dollars.
While traveling for our honeymoon in April, my wife and I got to stop at a Bucky's and while we were in Tennessee, we stopped at a couple different buckies as a truck driver. Yes, I agree that Bucky's needs to rethink. Their strategy about no truck drivers, second of all the money that. Any gas station makes off of their soda fountain is ridiculous. They have maybe 35 cents in the cup. And in the ice, the rest is all pure profit, so personally in my book, if you walk around and you're down to a 1/2 a cup and you top your cup off before you leave. Yeah, I don't see a problem with that and Bucky's. I'm sorry if you have a problem with that. You're thinking of your pocketbook, and not the pocketbook of the people that are causing you to get the growth that you have so in saying that Bucky's cook, grab ahold of your earlobes. And pull very tightly. And when you hear that, pop, that is your head coming out of Uranus, thank you. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to stop at Buckie's.
We live about 20 miles from Bucc-ees in *Melissa Texas* We usually stop when we are in the area, if for nothing else to use the restrooms which are really clean. I love to check out the gift department because they do have some cool stuff and I usually end up buying something. We love the cones of warm sugar-coated pecans/cashews/almonds. The chopped brisket sandwiches are fine, nothing to write home about.... To anyone who has asked - this place is a giant gas station/convenience store with all sorts of souvenirs.
I went to a location in Missouri recently and they charged me $.99 for a large soda and $1.50 to refill my water bottle that was the same size. This after spending $50 on other things. I will never return to any location ever again.
I REALLY miss living in East Tennessee (Blount County, Dec.1985 to Dec. 1989) it took me moving back to Ohio, to realize how much I loved TN & now I haven't been back to TN since 2001.
The Beaver Nuggets might be tasty, but if you don't eat them within a few hours of opening the package, they all go stale. Especially in the hot, humid south. Went to a Buc-ee's in East Texas that had only 9 pumps. Probably the smallest one in existence. But they still had the BBQ sandwiches!
#7... I got stuck just yesterday by two very rude people doing just that. The guy in front of me could have cared less as he wandered back to his car, sipping his drink and still had yet to put gas in his tank and slowly started doing just that... and the person at the pump on the other side was a truck and lawn trailer. Just stopped while they also left their car. It was a very busy time, when is it not.... had to back up slowly to get out of my spot. RUDE!!!!
Looked forward to checking out the Buc-ee's in Sevierville since it opened. Finally got a chance to on a recent trip to Pigeon Forge. I got a few things that looked interesting and tasted pretty good, but it was what I could not get that convinced me that once is enough! I've been there, it was OK, but I won't be going back.
I refill my drink while im in store. I will die on that hill. They dont have tables, so I doubt hardly anyone is in the store long enough to refill. But if they are that parched, go for it. I think the sign says refills on this visit only.
I wish I could've explored more, I was with my parents and they were in a bit of a rush (they don't understand the hype). all I was able to do was walk a bit and get some souvenirs lol. I didn't get to try any of the food :(
I have heard two reasons. #1 is the parking lot is not set up for the weight #2 is there are permits needs in some areas, and 18 wheelers would be a truck stop And the company does not wish to go thru the hoops. Your mileage may vary.
Don’t forget the Philly Steak Burrito, they’ve on the bar near the beef jerky, way better that the BBQ sammich. Fun fact the owner and creator of Buccee’s is a Texas A&M alumni. I live in Texas and very close to a Buccee’s, it’s a fun experience, and I still go grab my brother one of those huge burritos 🌯 from time to time if I’m out and about, but I try to avoid my local one so I have something to look forward to on our long road trip to Corpus Christi or Houston to visit family.
The Eagle Lake and Port Lavaca locations are the only ones that allow truckers/18 wheelers. Unfortunately they are some of the, if not the smallest locations they have so it's almost a miserable experience for truckers to stop there.
The food is OK, but don't expect any tables or chairs to sit down and have lunch, either inside or outside. You'll have to eat inside your car for that. The truth is, Buc-ee's don't want you to hang around any longer than you need to.
I remember my dad stopping at Stuckey's and Horne's on family vacations from Maryland to Florida and back in the 1950's and 1960's. We also ate at Howard Johnson's restaurants along the way. I miss those days!!! Most or all of these locations have been closed for a number of years. 😢😢
I don't think it's right that truck drivers can't stop they have to eat and get things too it's not fair that much land they should have had a place for the trucks
It’s not because they do not want the business, it’s because there is a LOT of other things that the public doesn’t know about that comes with the big rigs. They pride themselves on being clean and wholesome, and want to keep it that way. Do a search on it and you will find the answers you need.
Every square foot of that land is occupied with vehicle (cars & trucks) parking, gas pumps and the actual building. Semi-trucks would require A LOT more land and many just don’t have the ability. Buc-ee’s has been crazy successful not hosting them and will continue to do so. Many truck stops like Love’s, Pilot & T/A Travel Centers build right next to the Buc-ee’s because they know truckers will go there anyway.
I was there Wednesday July 13th for gas and something to eat. Gas was $2.94 a gallon at Buc-ees off I-65 in Kentucky near Bowling Green. Upon purchasing my meal I looked for a place to sit and I ended up eating in the car. The reason I didn't stay long because I had my dog in the car and there wasn't any shade. After eating I had a long drive home. But will stop again.
I work for a convenience store and I found Buc-ees quite reasonable. But prices depend upon where you come from. I work in Louisville, Kentucky. I had a salad @ $5.99 and banana pudding @ $4.49. My dinner did fill me up.
#12 don’t be in a hurry. There is no rhyme or reason as to how traffic flows throughout the parking lots. Sure, there are several entrance and exits, but everything inside of those is a free for all.
Got a sandwich 1 time, bit into it, and got a mouth full of fat. Spit it out, took a second bite and another load of fat. So I opened the sandwich and started to pull the fat out and ended with a few strands of meat. I won't be getting a sandwich from them again.
thanks for the vid - doing a stop is on our list but we just don't have them out here and the one north of Denver wasn't open yet the last time we were there.
Colorado can have all the Buckees in Texas for all I care. Don’t care for them with their Texas souvenirs, pig food and out of state travelers ie vagabond homeless looking for a crib in Texas. Only redeeming factors are clean restrooms and no truckers. No sit down places to eat as they want one to spend their money and get on down the road. If I wanted to eat in my car, I could hit any fast food spot.
Gas station food can be very good. Rudy’s is an example. To be honest, I think I have purchased gasoline once at Rudy’s but have enjoyed their smoked brisket countless times. Buc-ee’s is different. I purchase gasoline most of the time. The exception is when we do a Buc-ee’s tour and stop and multiple locations. Then, I don’t always need to refill. The top reason to stop at Buc-ee’s is #1. And their clean restrooms make it a top location to take care of that chore. . . However, don’t go in looking for Pepsi products. You won’t find them. .
It used to be fun going there... not so much anymore... much like black Friday sales crowd... so, the best thing not to do at Bucceeeeeees is go there.
Don’t stop walking in middle of the way. Step aside to stop. There’s a lot of cashiers waiting all around, look. Don’t create a long line at front cashiers.
Couldn't wait for the one in Crossville to open. Unfortunately it was a big disappointment. Absolutely the worst BBQ I have ever had. Beaver nuggets were a big let down. True it pays great but I know several people who work there and have worked there in the past and have all said they treat employees very bad. All I know is I went one time and would never go back.
# 11 - dont stop there. You'll stop for a bathroom break amd then ten minutes later youre leaving with a BBQ grill, a tent, and 20 plushy toys.
😂my pampered pooch says she needs those 20 plush toys. Yes, I am guilty of only slightly pampering a wee bit on the too much side of things.😂

I think I would be kicked out of Buc'ees just cause I wouldn't be able to contain my excitement of being at a Buc'ees, haha.
I refill my drink while im in store. I will die on that hill. They dont have tables, so I doubt hardly anyone is in the store long enough to refill. But if they are that parched, go for it. I think the sign says refills on this visit only.
So this is like a chuckee cheese type place or ??
@@greatcesarsghost Its more like WalMart sized gas station that is the by product of Texas breeding with 7-11 and Chuckee Cheeses.
The club melt sandwich is my favorite. My youngest loves the sausage on the stick.
The orange dreamsicle is well named
I wish I could've explored more, I was with my parents and they were in a bit of a rush (they don't understand the hype). all I was able to do was walk a bit and get some souvenirs lol. I didn't get to try any of the food :(
Smoked turkey sandwich, best sandwich I’ve had I years 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍👍
I don’t understand why they don’t cater to 18 wheelers
I have heard two reasons. #1 is the parking lot is not set up for the weight
#2 is there are permits needs in some areas, and 18 wheelers would be a truck stop
And the company does not wish to go thru the hoops. Your mileage may vary.
Go to your nearest location and then imagine 40 18 wheelers in the same parking lot. Make sense now??
Don’t forget the Philly Steak Burrito, they’ve on the bar near the beef jerky, way better that the BBQ sammich. Fun fact the owner and creator of Buccee’s is a Texas A&M alumni. I live in Texas and very close to a Buccee’s, it’s a fun experience, and I still go grab my brother one of those huge burritos 🌯 from time to time if I’m out and about, but I try to avoid my local one so I have something to look forward to on our long road trip to Corpus Christi or Houston to visit family.
A&M alumnus (not the plural alumni), but the correct term is Former Student!
The Eagle Lake and Port Lavaca locations are the only ones that allow truckers/18 wheelers. Unfortunately they are some of the, if not the smallest locations they have so it's almost a miserable experience for truckers to stop there.
The food is OK, but don't expect any tables or chairs to sit down and have lunch, either inside or outside. You'll have to eat inside your car for that. The truth is, Buc-ee's don't want you to hang around any longer than you need to.
Buc ee's is what Stuckey's was in the 1950s and 60s, only better.
I remember my dad stopping at Stuckey's and Horne's on family vacations from Maryland to Florida and back in the 1950's and 1960's. We also ate at Howard Johnson's restaurants along the way.
I miss those days!!! Most or all of these locations have been closed for a number of years. 😢😢
I don't think it's right that truck drivers can't stop they have to eat and get things too it's not fair that much land they should have had a place for the trucks
Tuck Fruckers
It's not a truck stop. Go to Love's. Truck stops are kinda seedy!
@@debbieeadens3026 truckers throw piss bottles and other trash wherever they stop. Filthy animals.
It’s not because they do not want the business, it’s because there is a LOT of other things that the public doesn’t know about that comes with the big rigs. They pride themselves on being clean and wholesome, and want to keep it that way. Do a search on it and you will find the answers you need.
Every square foot of that land is occupied with vehicle (cars & trucks) parking, gas pumps and the actual building. Semi-trucks would require A LOT more land and many just don’t have the ability.
Buc-ee’s has been crazy successful not hosting them and will continue to do so. Many truck stops like Love’s, Pilot &
T/A Travel Centers build right next to the Buc-ee’s because they know truckers will go there anyway.
I love Buccees, but it’s hard to go in there without spending at least a hundred bucks. So my tip is, don’t forget your credit or debit card.
Buc-ee’s jerky is the best.
I was there Wednesday July 13th for gas and something to eat. Gas was $2.94 a gallon at Buc-ees off I-65 in Kentucky near Bowling Green. Upon purchasing my meal I looked for a place to sit and I ended up eating in the car. The reason I didn't stay long because I had my dog in the car and there wasn't any shade. After eating I had a long drive home. But will stop again.
One thing not to do is bring your pet duck in with you. You’ll get banned for life.
Bias against my mallards, eh? That's just ducked up, man! 🦆
NO WAY!!! I’ve seen people carrying their Yorkies, what’s the difference, that’s terrible!
@@valerief1231 That's because Buc-ees think that ducks are fowl! (I'll let myself out. Thank you.)
Don’t buy food there three times the price as your neighborhood supermarket bring your snacks with you
I work for a convenience store and I found Buc-ees quite reasonable. But prices depend upon where you come from. I work in Louisville, Kentucky. I had a salad @ $5.99 and banana pudding @ $4.49. My dinner did fill me up.
I drive past three bucees a day about 3 or four times a week. I've been inside maybe 5 times in the last two years. It's almost price gouging.
We are all going Larry, Angie, Rick, Nancy, Art, and Judy Friday
#12 don’t be in a hurry. There is no rhyme or reason as to how traffic flows throughout the parking lots. Sure, there are several entrance and exits, but everything inside of those is a free for all.
Big Trucks and Rigs get to bring the food and fuel.. but.. not stay.. that is messed up.. right??
They gum up the parking lot.
I think the trucks should refuse to deliver. See how they like that.
@@bassgetter365 Apparently that’s not happening. What are you, in the third grade or something?
I spent 1 1/2 hrs at the Richmond KY location ❤❤
Got a sandwich 1 time, bit into it, and got a mouth full of fat. Spit it out, took a second bite and another load of fat. So I opened the sandwich and started to pull the fat out and ended with a few strands of meat. I won't be getting a sandwich from them again.
Don't sleep in the parking lot overnight.
Don’t forget your travel size Poo-Pourri if you use their restrooms.
The REAL #1 - Don't EVER pass one! You owe it to yourself to STOP!
I live in the North East and sadly we don't have a Buc-ee's. We are missing out. 😔😔😔
sorry you missed the # one thing you need to get.the fresh made chips.
#12: Do not pass Loud Monster Gass while using the restroom.... Let it all out, outside ... in the fresh aire, please.
Courtesy flushes too, you can't forget about that one.
Yeah, Buc-ee’s is the new Stuckey‘s of my day. Honestly, I can go in and out of my Buckys in 15 minutes as long as the check out line isn’t long.
I bet I spent a couple of hours there. It was my first time there. I got gas, but moved to a space afterward.
Don’t get in a hurry is easy
Hit the store on I 10 in Alabama
Took 30 minutes to get to the pump
Took 45 to get out of f the property
why no 18 wheelers?? couldn't they make a "section" for them?? I know a lot of truckers would like a clean place to stop
Don’t get tired and need to sit. If I can’t sit, I don’t fit. They will never get my money.
I know one thing that I’ll never do at Buckys is go visit them too many people too congested no way
I know what you mean I have pick up my Sandwich and a fountain drink when I stop in September 😊
This is like saying don't forget to breathe
Big Red and pulled pork.......Heaven.
So you sell soft drinks with free refiles, but don't want anyone to refill their cup? I'm confused..
Number one thing to do at Buc ees. Don't stop. Gas is cheap, you'll waste 30 minutes or more. Too crowded.
thanks for the vid - doing a stop is on our list but we just don't have them out here and the one north of Denver wasn't open yet the last time we were there.
Colorado can have all the Buckees in Texas for all I care. Don’t care for them with their Texas souvenirs, pig food and out of state travelers ie vagabond homeless looking for a crib in Texas. Only redeeming factors are clean restrooms and no truckers. No sit down places to eat as they want one to spend their money and get on down the road. If I wanted to eat in my car, I could hit any fast food spot.
Gas station food can be very good. Rudy’s is an example. To be honest, I think I have purchased gasoline once at Rudy’s but have enjoyed their smoked brisket countless times. Buc-ee’s is different. I purchase gasoline most of the time. The exception is when we do a Buc-ee’s tour and stop and multiple locations. Then, I don’t always need to refill. The top reason to stop at Buc-ee’s is #1. And their clean restrooms make it a top location to take care of that chore. . . However, don’t go in looking for Pepsi products. You won’t find them. .
No big rigs? What about RVs?
It used to be fun going there... not so much anymore... much like black Friday sales crowd... so, the best thing not to do at Bucceeeeeees is go there.
Don’t stop walking in middle of the way. Step aside to stop. There’s a lot of cashiers waiting all around, look. Don’t create a long line at front cashiers.
Went to the Sevierville location twice…..thought I was in a Zombie Apocalypse movie…..never going back again.
Couldn't wait for the one in Crossville to open. Unfortunately it was a big disappointment. Absolutely the worst BBQ I have ever had. Beaver nuggets were a big let down. True it pays great but I know several people who work there and have worked there in the past and have all said they treat employees very bad. All I know is I went one time and would never go back.
Never been but this ad just gave me my own rule DONT GO TO BUCKYS
Stopped there one time. Once was enough.
