Buc-ee’s

Smaller Buc-​ee store, but they still have a counter for beef jerky, fountain drinks, bags and bags of Bucee candy and snacks. Love Bucee’s and their clean bathrooms.

This is one of the smaller Buc-ee’s locations without many of the features found in other locations. When you walk in having been to a larger location, it’s almost a disappointment. There’s no deli, no t-​shirts or memorabilia. It just looks like a large convenience store that happens to have the Buc-ee’s logo on the outside.
Of course, any stop at Buc-ee’s requires a trip to the restroom, and I’m happy to say that they have clean facilities. They were definitely due for routine maintenance, but I figure I can safely say that they were cleaner than any other stop for miles in any direction.
The selection was very limited at this location, even though they had all the quintessential Buc-ee’s items– jerkey, beaver nuggets, etc. I ended up grabbing a mediocre-​tasting kolache (probably had been sitting there all day) and a drink and made a mental note to skip this one and hit the other one on 290 on my return trip.

for the staff I am giving 4 stars, but this one is small (think 7 – 11). lines at the gas pumps, and 4 bathroom stalls. staff was still super friendly. they did have some of the same prepacked snacks, but none made fresh. and so small.

As Donald Trump would say,
«it’s H U G E!»
Need to spend lot more time here on next trip. If you’re looking for anything Yeti, here’s the place.

Cleanest restrooms for a gas station. Great snack venue! Dr pepper icees are a must! Beaver nuggets are a staple in my diet on a long trip. The breakfast tacos are delish!

This Buc-ee’s is small and therefore not as thrilling and awe-​inspiring as the gigantic Buc-ee’s Wonderlands. However, it still has the same clean bathrooms and a nice selections of snacks and beverages. The bathrooms are much smaller (only 4 stalls in the women’s restroom!), so you’re more likely to have to wait in a line, but that’s not terrible, I suppose. I think the insanely large Buc-ee’s have spoiled us all and raised our expectations to unreasonable levels. This one was more like a normal (but very nice) gas station. I’d still go out of my way to stop here over other gas stations.

Buc-ee’s Buc-ee’s Buc-ee’s! I love this place. They have breakfast tacos now, too! Their gas is usually very cheap and their restrooms are very clean. This is the ultimate gas station/​stop. All of their locations are amazing and they really make sure that all the employees are trained thoroughly before they are actually put to work. What does this mean? This means that you don’t have mass confusion when you ask them something or ask for their opinion on an item that Buc-ee’s sells! They have a million pumps so you never have to wait for a gas pump to free up and they also have ample parking. I love Buc-ee’s.

This is a smaller no-​frills Buc-​ees. As always, the bathrooms are top notch and the cashiers are very friendly. There’s a small assortment of pickles, jellies & typical
Buc-​ees snacks located near the counter. Towards the back of the store, they have a tiny counter with beef jerky and other smoked items. I saw a lot of Buc-​ees beer coozies and the beer they had was ice cold. There’s plenty of green space to walk your dog too. It’s a great place to stop on your way back to Houston!

Smaller location, but still great.

This is one of the smaller Bucees. Normally I would give it three stars because it’s easily a quarter size of the big one in Madisonville.
They carry all the drinks, jellys, hot sauces of every kind and jarred picked veggies. They have the most wonderful cheesey jalapeño bread which is a must! Buy two loaves. It’s great with everything! I forgot now if the other fresh meats and jerky are available in this store. If so it’s a very small area in the back.
The bathrooms are very clean which is a hallmark of all Bucees. Plus the bathroom doors lock there very securely. There is no official clothing store at this Buccees but they carry a good supply of koozies.
They have an outside area for your fur babies to stretch and go potty on the pretty green grass. Then even provide a poop scooper and baggies to clean up after them.
The ladies inside were all wonderful trying to show off what the lil store had to offer.
Still deserves 4 stars for cleanliness and being a few stars above some olé gas station or convenience store.
Unilocal review #323

Friendly staff and my Danish was pretty tasty. Kind of small versus what I’ve been told about other Buccees.

Snack shop Buccee’s is the smallest Bucc-​ee location I have been too, but still large on customer service, cleanliness, and fresh Jerky bar. It is stocked with the basic essentials, and has plenty of ice machines outside. It looks like they were in the process of repairing the lighting over the gas pumps as it was a bit dim.

Love this place! Gotta try the hill country turkey jerky!
Typically good gas prices and always clean restrooms.

There are only 4 stalls in the girls restroom and when I was in there, the worker tried to go into the stall while I was there. Thank goodness there is a lock on the door that works. Then, I tried to wash my hands and the lady was busy cleaning the counter and there is only two sinks. Cleaning the counter needs to wait. She is just going to have to clean it again after I leave. What is the deal with some weirdo workers?

I’m a huge fan of the Buc-ee’s organization. Having a girlfriend from the Houston area, I’ve gotten very familiar with US 290, and the Giddings Buc-ee’s has become a favorite, almost mandatory pit stop on the way. This is something of a Mini-​Me compared to New Braunfels Buc-ee’s, but still has that beaver spirit nonetheless. Always clean, staff always courteous; this is full-​fledged Buc-ee’s, despite its diminutive stature. One highlight of this location that I always love, is their fresh jerky and summer sausage counter. Stop in and grab a few hunks of the peppered or the teriyaki jerky! Good stuff!
See ya in a few days, Giddings Buc-ee’s!

It would be blasphemous if I gave Buc-ee’s a bad review. They put all other gas stations to shame. Luckily when I visit my dad in Houston, I hit 3 Buc-ee’s along the way. This Buc-​ees is a lot smaller than the other ones. The ones in Bastrop and Waller are the better ones. They are huge and you feel like you are in a sacred temple.

Not liking Buc-ee’s is just plain un-​American. This is a smaller location, but it was still just as clean and full of tasty snacks as you would expect from this great chain. I got my kolaches and Beaver Nuggets and made it to Houston in record time.

Great place to pee and that is all. Not nearly as large nor as extravagent as the other buc-​ees on 71 or heading into dallas. It seems as though this was just a gas station that turned into a buc-​ees, but rest assured, they are building a LARGER one in Waller texas.
We will be able to get our fix while traveling 290 very soon!

Since I have been watching so many episodes of Sons of Anarchy back-​to-​back on Netflix I thought the idea of a 4am nightride up to Austin would be pleasing … just kidding, I was really not even remotely enthused about having to drive up to Austin in the morning for a job interview and then turn around quickly to Houston without enough time to even stop at Kerbey Lane for a pancake or twelve. Add on top of that the crowds from SXSW which are clearly way cooler than me and my Armani tie since they are all in their cut-​off jean shorts «jorts» and such. Even worse than that, I hate driving. Every time I need to take my peasant car keys out of my pocket and touch the car-​opening peasant button, open the door, put the peasant key into the ignition, use the peasant shifter, and operate the motor vehicle by myself I am constantly reminded that I do not have a chauffeur doing this for me — yet. One day I will have someone take care of the basic stuff while I play Pokemon White in the backseat like a true prince.
This is a relatively new Buc-ee’s since I have done this drive between Austin and Houston a lot when I was younger and I do not remember stopping here; I remember the Starbucks in Brenham and the nearby Sonic as much more usual points of interest to stop, use their restroom, get fully disgusted, and decide not to get food there. So when I found out that Buc’ee’s had opened on 290 I was happy that I knew where my half-​way point was and it came none too soon based on how much coffee I drank to be mildly half-​awake that early in the morning.
This is a small Buc-​ees compared to like every other one I have ever been to, even the one on 96 and the one near Lake Jackson. There were a handful of gas pumps, all parking spaces outside were full, and I ended up parking in the rear of the store which I think was probably employee-​only parking but the car is already marked as mine, so I had to stow it somewhere so I could get inside quickly.
The restroom is just as correspondingly small as the rest of the station. There were a handful of urinals and only two sink holes. Two people is a full house washing their hands — though I was the only one actually washing my hands. Which explains the conditions at the local Sonic pretty well that cleanliness is very optional. But at least with only two sink holes, you shouldn’t really need to wait long to be able to wash your hands. Which is a big difference from the other Buc’ees where there is a huge bank of hand washing holes with the fancy water sprayer system thingy like in Luling.
This early in the morning they were tidying up and the woman sweeping the floor was also doubling as the Walmart-​type greeter. She was very nice and pleasant and wished me a good day as I went back out into the cold. So customer service is on par even that early in the morning when things are busy.
Great halfway point on the road between Austin and Houston. I would definitely see a man about a dog here again (ref.
)

BEAVER NUGGETS, GET YOUR DELICIOUS BEAVER NUGGETS HERE!!!
I love me some beaver nuggets. I also just love all things Buc-ee’s. This is my «must stop» shop on the way to Austin. Buc-ee’s offers decently priced gasoline, hordes of delicious snacks that make great road food and some of the most nicely appointed bathrooms you will find in the state. Their coffee is always hot and fresh in case you need to pep up to continue your drive.
Be forewarned, this place gets horribly busy on the weekends. It can be a trial to get in to get gas and there may be a line to check out with your precious load of road food. Be patient, it will all work out and you really did need to break that road hypnosis you had working, didn’t you?
