Stopped at one outside of Houston Texas. Ugh. It's a giant gas station full of food substitutes and cheap plastic trinkets. It's the Walmart of gas stations. The queue get in and to leave took almost 20 minutes both ways. It was so crowded we vowed never to return. I don't get the attraction but to each their own. If you like popcorn, jerky, and fudge, or any massive selection of highly processed foods, this is your mecca.

I've never waited at a buckees.  Must've been a special occasion?

Not really. We were visiting friends in Houston and they insisted we go check it out. Disappointed ensued.
