We scoured the Internet to see what people had to say about gas station food. If you think the only things available are wrinkled hotdogs of indeterminate age, and day-glow slushies, we’ve got great, tasty news for you. Whether it ends up being part of a regular routine, or your only resource on a long car trip, we have the food info you need. Let’s look at 6 gas stations that folks can’t get enough of and see what they have for you to eat.
Buc-ee’s
Buc-ee’s holds the world record for the World’s Largest Convenience Store! Their location in New Braunfels, TX is 66,335 square feet huge. At their Katy, TX location they have the World’s Longest Carwash at 255 feet.
The Beaver is the company mascot and logo, and during the carwash a colorful beaver is projected onto your windshield. Soap in all the Bucee’s colors (red and yellow, with some others thrown in for fun) come pouring down and your car is bathed for a full 5 minutes. We know this has nothing to do with food…but it kinda does…read the next paragraph.
Clean Enough To Eat Off Their Floor
In a promotional video of the carwash, one woman says, “the bathrooms are so clean here, you could eat Beaver Nuggets off the bathroom floor”. Those are caramel coated popcorn snacks, to the uninitiated. Her child standing next to her looks horrified at her Mom’s statement LOL.
BBQ For Days
The food offerings have been compared to a “down-home Cracker Barrel.” 24 hours a day you can get barbecue, brisket, turkey or all kinds of sandwiches, sliced and made to order at their “barbeque station.”
Beef Jerky For Miles
“They have the best beef jerky I’ve ever had,” one Reddit poster wrote. “It’s expensive, but the Bohemian Garlic by the pound is worth a stop on its own!” In fact, it is one of their best sellers. Not a garlic fan? Go for Korean BBQ, Steakhouse, Cherry Maple, and several other flavors. Fans say the jerky is softer than most and comes in easy-to-eat chunks.
In a sweet mood? There is Bucee’s brand fudge (red velvet, cookies and creme, key lime pie, rocky road, and more), with flavors changing often and house brand roasted nuts.
Shout Outs For Buc-ee’s
