Buc-ee's

Bumper to bumper to get in. Consider yourself warned....it'll take a couple green lights to make it to this location as it's sooooo popular.

Once there, finding a gas pump isn't too hard as there are so many.

Inside is a shopping experience that any foodie would love....beef jerky selection is awesome.

Definitely a tourist attraction and yet still fun.

Coffee is great, with lots of free add ins available.

Egg and brisket taco is very good.

I have been curious to drive up to Daytona to checkout Buc-ee’s. Drive about an hour to the nearest location from my area. I have to admit, I felt like a child in a candy store. Where do I begin, there is so much to checkout from souvenirs to sweets, to food, etc. great customer service people and I think I know why. On my way out I saw their hiring post outside the store, they pay pretty descent for retail.
I bought me a pulled pork sandwich at $8.00 kind of pricy but delicious. I bought a piece of praline fudge, again pretty delish. Visited their restroom since I had seen on a new cast that Buc-we’d has the cleanest restroom for a convenience store, well, it is true.

Great experience for all. It was packed not sure if it’s locals or out of towners but it’s packed but no issue at the registers though.

If you are driving/traveling on the road , going far , Buc-ee’s is the best place to make a pit/quick stop. Not only do you have close to 100 gas pumps, but from my pictures you have an idea of how big and how many different things you can buy there. The brisket sandwiches and pull pork sandwiches were amazing. They have many vapor beef jerky treats. They have a bakery . They are the “ Walmart” of “rest area “ stops. The bathroom was huge and spacious. Surprisingly very clean. It does get very, very busy . But it was fun. The staff were very friendly and polite . Much respect to everyone there!!! I hope you too enjoy it.

Si vas manejando de viaje . Bucee es una parada que debes ponerlo en su viaje. Aparte de 100 bomba de gasolina es una tienda inmensa!! Tienen de todo para uno. Los sándwiches de brisket están excelentes. Los dulce del bakery rico! Los empleado se portaron bien respetuosos y fueron muy cariñosos. Los baños son inmensos y limpios. Espero que lo disfrutes!

I heard so much about Buc-ee’s that I drove 2 and half hours to see what was so special about them. First was a restroom visit which was very clean very unusual for a gas station/ mega store. Check out was quick which I loved. Buc-ee was there to greet customers and take photos with everyone that wanted a picture.

We need one in Indiana wow very impressed! Any of their locations a must stop while traveling or just “because.” Had about 100 gas pumps so no line. The store was huge and busy but check out lines all going fast. Everyone I encountered working here friendly and seemed to like their jobs. The store and bathrooms so very clean!! We got the jerky they are famous for, Turkey and brisket sandwiches with their barbecue. Oh my they were delicious!! We went back in and bought a bottle of the sauce lol!! Store also has anything you could think of from Valentines section, pink cow boy hat, socks, baby clothes, other clothes, art work list goes on!

We also found gas cheaper here than surroundings gas stations.

Welcome to Buc-ees! I finally made it to Daytona, home of this Texas sized gas station. Buc-ees is a chain beloved by travelers for its award winning bathrooms, 100 gas pumps with the best prices, and 54,000 square feet of snacks, food, drinks, and shopping. They stick their bucked tooth beaver mascot on everything!

Buc-ees was founded by Arch "Beaver" Aplin III. Beaver was the nickname given to him by his mother when he was born. It was derived from the Bucky Beaver Space Guard cartoon tooth paste commercial. The name Buc-ee's was formed by combining his childhood nickname, Beaver, and the name of his Labrador Retriever, Buck. The first Buc-ees opened in 1982 as a regular sized gas station. In 2003 he got the idea to build the mega Buc-ees that road trippers love today. There are now 41 travel centers throughout the south with more to come. Buc-ee's holds two world records for biggest gas station in Sevierville, Tennessee at 74,707 square feet and longest car wash. Aplin and his business partner still own 100 percent of Buc-ee's. This allows them to operate the way they feel best. They pay a higher than average starting wage of $18 an hour with benefits and three weeks vacation.

As strange as it may sound, the most popular attraction at Buc-ees might just be the restroom. It was voted the best bathroom in the nation in 2012. They are unlike any other gas station bathroom you may have experienced. At Buc-ee's you can look forward to lots of space, floor to ceiling tile, and a cleanliness that puts all other restrooms to shame. Aplin designed the restrooms himself.

Another reason to visit Buc-ee's is the BBQ. In 2017 they hired world barbecue champion Randy Pauly as their Director of Barbecue. Buc-ee's is known for their brisket and when it is ready they shout out "Fresh, hot brisket on board!" Other food treats include in house made fudge, hot sugared nuts, a wall of jerky, a bakery with giant cinnamon rolls, snack aisles that go on for miles, and candy. They are one of the few businesses to offer both Coca-Cola and Pepsi products. Don't forget to grab a bag, or several of one off their most popular snacks, Beaver Nuggets in an array of flavors. If it is sweet or savory, they have it. Best of all the prices are very reasonable.

Their store is more like a Walmart than a gas station convenience store. Besides the food and drinks you can shop T-shirts, stuffed animals, home goods, seasonal decorations, outdoor gear, and even smokers and grills. The variety is staggering. Right now all of the Christmas decorations are center stage.

Don't forget to fill up your gas tank. Every Buc-ee's has at least 100 pumps that are constantly being meticulously cleaned by staff. Every part of the pump is sanitized. They always have the best prices on gas too.

Now that I have become Buc-ee's baptized I understand their cult following. Fans line up for days to attend openings. They have become the gold standard of road trip junk food. You find yourself skipping every other gas stations in anticipation of making it to Buc-ees. In my past visits I have had their brisket sandwiches, fresh made potato chips, fudge, giant cinnamon rolls, hot nuts, cinnamon and sugar beaver nuggets, and peach cobbler. All have been outstanding. I may have gotten a shirt too. The only hard about coming to Buc-ees is stopping for a $40 gas fill up and trying not leave with $200 of other stuff inside.

This place is amazing. They have all the amenities that you can think of. The food options are nothing short of amazing, they have a beef jerky bar! The giftshop has something for everyone in any budget. Will visit again every chance I get.

I don’t know where to start. The place was a blast. I absolutely loved the fudge and the fact that they let you sample it also. The brisket smell delicious however, I just finished eating somewhere else. Otherwise I would’ve had to pound some of that stuff too. I had to pick up a few trinkets just to say that I was there, but what a cool idea for a convenience store ...super sized

Amazing selection, don't sleep on the cast iron. Also bought a cast iron rubber holder.

Super clean inside and out.

Did not spend nearly enough time in here as we were rushed. Need to make a special trip.

Friend bought the jerky, another just some snacks.

Seriously, I need to make sure I come here just for lunch.

Also if you're looking for a job the starting salaries (we looked it up) are amazing.

Our first visit to Buc-ee’s exceeded our expectations. The gas prices were reasonable, as per GasBuddy. The store offers a wide variety of freshly made food and snacks, as well as interesting merchandise. The store is so captivating that one can easily get sidetracked and spend an hour here instead of hitting the road. However, we would have appreciated an area with tables to sit down and enjoy the food.

Being from the west coast, this place was overwhelming to say the least. We found so many cool things to bring home. I was surprised at the quality of goods they have. Everything you need from housewares, outdoor equipment and snacks for the road were plentiful. Oh, and I’m no authority on barbecue, but I had the best brisket sandwich slathered in bbq sauce.

Set aside a hour or so to experience this place. Come hungry and get not one, but two brisket sandwiches; one to eat there and one for the plane ride home.

We absolutely loved our pit stop at Bucees! It is is not only a gas station but a convenience store with home items, clothes, souvenirs, and a variety of food stations! Here you must buy world's famous jerkey with crazy selection and flavors, hot sandwiches with pulled beef and pork, hot Bakery items, beavers chips, warm glazed nuts made in front of you and much more!

In the world of “gas stations” this has to be the biggest and the best! There are literally around 200 gas pumps but I did not stop to count. I was too busy exploring the massive retail and food options. Homemade brisket and many many versions of homemade beef jerky were my persona favorites. This was the first time I have been on a family vacation and the “must do” shopping outing for the whole family was to go to a gas station! You have to see it to believe it!

Excellent wheelchair accessibility. It’s a little tight in the clothing section but I made it through fine. The staff is very friendly. I believe they are known for that. The restrooms are clean, I believe they are also known for that. The food selection is excellent. The prices are also good. It’s like an event to stop at Buc-ee’s.

Our first time here and all I can say it was the bomb! The brisket sandwich is a must! The roasted almonds and pecans make a great snack/desert for the road! Gas is well priced, and the store has so many things to offer. I’ll be back!

This place is amazing!! There are tons of snacks, great coffee station, bakery, drinks and merchandise. Gigantic, clean restrooms w/attendant.

Crazy busy but there was parking available and they had lots of helpful staff so there weren't any lines - it was just crazy busy. Love their beef brisket sandwich and sugared pecans and .... they seem to have everything a traveler (especially a vacationing traveler) needs when traveling up/down I95. While I don't really like crowds, I'm willing to endure them for a stop at Buc-ees.

For my first time coming to a buc-ee's it was a great experience. The staff was very friendly. The smells of all the fresh food were so crazy. They were amazing. The artwork that was for sale going down the restroom hallway was totally incredible. I will come back to visit again.

What can I say, Buc ee's did not disappoint!! We enjoyed it so much that we stopped in a second time on our way back home. Both the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches were to die for. Banana pudding and beaver nuggets were also quite delicious. Very busy place with people everywhere yet the washrooms are immaculately clean. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. 5 ⭐

We love Bucees and stop in every chance we get! They’re always busy but the employees always have a smile on their faces and are always eager to assist! This is the cleanest gas station/shopping center I’ve ever been in! The food is delicious. Coffee is amazing! Stop by and check it out if you haven’t already
