It was a nightmare trying to leave when I went once. I could easily see how people get in wrecks there.


The trick is to stay in the left lane from the exit ramp all the way to the right turn to get to the entrance. Very few people know that you can turn right from the left lane. Do not enter through the first entrance. Enter through the second a little further back. And exit from the same back entrance. So much easier, and less crazy.

I agree but it was stated earlier that the only good thing they have is brisket. They have alot of good shite that isn’t brisket in Texas. The issue with foley is everyone and their momma is there because all the other buccees are so far away.

Basically I’m saying the world needs more buccees.

I’ve never been to the one in Foley. Luling,Tx buccees is one of the most over-crowded places ever.

Buccees is impressive for the sheer volume of stuff they have for an overgrown gas station.
And they have some ok stuff.
That said, unless it’s the middle of the night or something, I can definitely find better food, and better prices.

It is however, here by my house the cheapest place for deer corn! Lol

Not fair. Compare them to every other gas station food and service you get. Not to mention the gas prices and the unbelievable carwash.

Baytown - fantastic
Wharton - fantastic
Freeport - fantastic
Southlake - fantastic (small)
West Columbia - fantastic (small)
Terrell - fantastic (pretty crowded)
Foley - wildly overcrowded
Victoria - shitty

Gas prices aren’t great.. and I have a company car. So I don’t care about gas prices.


Gas station food?
There are LOTS of gas stations with better tacos, and food than anything buccees has.
Buccees does have a much, much broader selection though.

Destin is an SEC destination. Everyone reps their team on the beach with their hats, coolers and whatnot. Lots of Ole Miss, State, LSU, Alabama and Arkansas folks.

I practically lived there in my summers and always hung out around Silver Dunes back in its heyday. Then a lot of the Memphis crowd moved east down 30A. I remember the Back Porch when it was a shack.



we were sneaking onto the dunes at night in our trucks when it was scrub oaks and rattlesnakes. on 98, between PCB and Fort Walton Bch, there was a Green Knight Liquors. That was it.

Whatever brother. I hope at some point they will cover Louisiana in Buccees. I miss them since I’ve moved back home.

Yep! We used to go to some bar. Night Town? I just remember a lot of women and driving back with one eye open.

lol I forgot about that place. Pretty sure that's what it was called. We would sneak over there in the winter. Got tired of running into girls we went to kindergarten with.

In Central Alabama, the Leeds Buc-ee's location is one of the most fantastical, magical, happiest places on Earth.

We don't have much around here and Texas dropped some of their prosperity, high intelligence, and sophisticated culture right in the heart of a desolate wasteland. Thanks, Texas.

The 120 gas pumps there are like 120 points of brilliant, beautiful light in a world of never-ending darkness and despair. I-20 basically goes right up to the front door and traffic flows like a well-oiled machine. More people are there, at any one time, than most small cities in Alabama have in total population.

My extended family and I save up all of our spare money and pool it together and try to visit once every three months, when we can afford the gas money it takes to travel the 20 miles to get there from our homes.

When you enter the heavenly gates/front doors, it feels like you may actually be in heaven in a way. The beautiful white lights and fancy items for sale, from sunglasses to all kinds of clothes and little Buc'ee stuffed animals, and hats and stuff is an embarrassment of riches I've never experienced in any store before.

Only rich people can afford that stuff, but we all sure do love looking and dreaming and showing each other stuff and saying funny things like, "one day, I'm going to buy this or that", whatever it may be. It makes us feel happy to dream.

As you progress towards the food area, the smells of goodness and fulfillment overtake the senses and it makes everyone in our little group hungry watching other people buy the food. But, it's fun just looking at all the exotic types of food they have like chicken burritos 2 for 5 dollars and what must be the best brisket ever created. I've never had brisket so I wouldn't know, but it sure smells good.

All the walking and talking and smelling the food makes some of us have go tinkle and OMG, let me tell you something. Their bathrooms are actual palaces like back in the old days in Louisiana.

I could literally live in the bathroom and be happy for the rest of my life. They are so clean and the stalls are literally bigger than the bedrooms in my home. All the facets work and you can dry your hands with fancy smancy air blowing out at you or with paper, either one.

They have had toilet paper every time I've went there and never any backed-up toilets. If I dropped a jellybean, a meal I carry around with me to eat all the time, on the floor I would pick it right up and eat it. That's how clean the floors are.

And the convenience store side, get out of here. It is incomparable to any other store anywhere. They have literally every type of drink, food, gum, aspirin, or just about anything else anyone could ever want.

The last time we all went, I told my wife that one day when I die, I really do hope it is in Buc'ees because it would make me feel like a king, in a way, to die in that type of castle.
