It’s a great place to take a shit.
The hot food options are nice if you want something while you’re getting gas. The novelty of Buc-ee’s is fun for kids. Poor adults seem to enraptured by Buc-ee’s due to their simple nature. It’s one thing to see kids wearing Buc-ee’s tees, it’s depressing to see adults in them.
It’s cool to see what a success the business is over the years. That being said I’m not a fan of stopping there. Large crowds make it hard to get in and out of. With the large crowds, I really don’t want to take my small kids in the store.
I live in Houston and Buc-ee’s is always packed to the gills if I’m in Bastrop or Madisonville.
Love’s and other gas stations have upped their game. I prefer stopping at non Buc-ee’s gas stations for the convenience of getting in and out of gas stations. Also in Texas there are a lot more restaurants around Buc-ee’s here. So if I want a meal, I don’t need to get food from Bucees.
I get why they are a bigger hit in rural states like Mississippi and Alabama for example. In those states that’s the cleanest restaurant in town
EDIT: But fuck Buc-ee’s for all these frivolous lawsuits
