    We stopped at a Buc-ee's on our way home from Florida last year. It was so cool. It is so much more than a gas station and convenience store. It was a very cool experience. We tried some of their pulled pork barbecue sandwiches and a variety pack of fudge and found them all to be pretty good. Thanks for sharing your visit to Buc-ee's!

      This is our second time going into a Buc-ee's and they have just about everything you could think of. I really liked walking around and looking at all the merchandise. The brisket sandwich I got was very good and the banana pudding was also very yummy. You had mentioned you got some fudge, we did not try that but it did look delicious. I can't get over how many gas pumps they have. These stores take in the money! Thanks so much for watching and for commenting. We appreciate your support.

    Not just their food but also their gas. Bucees is the only gas station I have ever seen that offers ethanol free 87 octane gas and it's not that much more expensive than regular e10 (5 or 10 cents more). For my car ethanol free gives about a 5-10% increase in mileage (my car is older so it's designed for non ethanol gas even though it can handle ethanol) so it's worth buying

    We really enjoyed your Buc-ee’s video. Some of the prices at this location were a lot less expensive than the one in TN. We’ve never tried their pulled pork sandwich or grilled cheese but their chopped brisket sandwich can stand up against some bbq restaurants in taste and quality. Excellent drone footage as well!

    • @vafunseekers
      @vafunseekers  Рік тому +1

      Thank you!! I really enjoyed that brisket sandwich and would order that again. Talking about prices I did notice that the bag ice price was higher here than on some other UA-cam videos I have seen and one person said the same thing to us about it. But $1.99 for a 20lb bag of ice is still a great buy. The banana pudding was good also. On the drone footage I thought it was cool that they had the logo on the roof. I have not seen that before.

    This one was very crowded, like the first one that we visited in Warner Robins.
    I'm not sure why that one was so crowded, but I'm guessing the Florence location is that way, because it's en route to Myrtle Beach. That would be my guess.
    Can you imagine how many people are going to be at the opening of the one in Sevierville next year?

      I can't speak for anyone else, but as a D.C. area resident, I love Buc-ee's! However, since there are no locations near, anytime I am driving south I MUST stop, be it in SC, GA, FL, AL. Even if I don't need to buy gas, I will stop just to use the extra clean restroom and buy a brisket sandwich or two. And even though I have been to Buc-ee's enough to know what they sell, I just gotta look at almost everything. It is never a five minute in-and-out affair. Buc-ee's is not just a gas station/convenience store, it is a roadside attraction!

If you haven't had one elsewhere, you have to get a Kolache here! I like the version with jalapenos. Strong recommend. Note that every Boc-ee's is a little different in some way. My third was this past year in Sevierville, on the way to Pigeon Forge. My first? In the wilds of Texas, driving from Kilgore to Midland. This was a good video. Very comprehensive. God Bless!

      Buc-ee’s is a chain out of Texas and everything is bigger in Texas! Lol I had not even noticed the difference in the size of the bag. Thanks for pointing that out. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

      I live about an hour from a Bucee’s in Texas and joke that I drive there to get a bag of ice, use the (stunningly clean) restroom and then drive home. 😃
      Not only 10 pounds of ice but only $1.

    Been there once. Gas is not cheap and hot food is not that good.

      We love Bucees but realize it’s not for everyone.
