Love, love, LOVE their billboards all along the highway from Houston that say quirky things like, “”Only 136 Miles to Buc-ee’s. You can Hold It” or “”Jerky. One of the Five Major Food Groups.” Certainly made the 200 mile drive more fun. I couldn’t wait to spot the next billboard.
We still had no idea what exactly it was when we got there, but we knew we definitely had to go there. So good job, ad people. Turned out it’s a gas station/convenience store — make that SUPER store. It was crazy busy when we got there around lunch time (good thing they have a lot of parking!) We didn’t fight the crowds for too long, but did get a bbq beef sandwich, a sausage on a stick, and some cold drinks. Yes, a SAUSAGE ON A STICK!! It was a pretty good sausage actually – with mustard, of course.
Buc-ees has everything you’d ever need on a roadtrip, and then some. Plus an adorable beaver mascot (altho, honestly, we weren’t sure what type of animal it was until we saw the billboard that said “It’s a Beaver!!!”)
