Just a normal, crappy gas station with the Buc-ee’s logo slapped on it. There are brisket sandwiches but almost no merch—at least the bathrooms, which have only a few stalls each, are clean.

Aren’t Buc-ee’s supposed to be as big as Texas itself? OK, not literally, but this location is not only tiny, it’s lackluster. There’s really nothing you need here. Skip.

This location makes up for its petite size with its offerings. The incredibly friendly staff gives it a leg up in the ratings, as does the great car wash that’ll leave your ride feeling brand-new.

Madisonville stands out because it may have more painted wine glasses per capita than anywhere else in the world. This makes it difficult to find a phone charger.

For a big, big Buc-ee’s, the parking layout is fantastic. From the abundance of storefront spots to an easy-to-navigate lot, driving into this stop isn’t as bad as you’d expect of such a huge footprint.

The bathrooms are spotless, and while the car wash add-on is great, it can get very crowded and still didn’t help the bug cemetery on my windshield.

Just the right size to be well stocked with merch and food but not too crowded. The bathrooms are large and clean; bonus points for the brisket smells upon entering.

The loudest “HOOOOTTT BRISKET ON THE BOARD!” call and response ever heard at a Buc-ee’s. That’s all one can ask for, aside from clean bathrooms.

This location lives up to the hype as the largest, with tons of fun items, including UT and Texas A&M gear, water bottles, and, of course, Beaver nuggets.

This is what a true Buc-ee’s is supposed to be. Lots of tasty Southern food, random kitschy findings, and clean bathrooms.
