Pro tip for Buc-ee's! At the meat counter you can get a sample of EVERY SINGLE Jerky, Sausage, and Linked Meat they sell! That way you can know what flavor you like before you buy it buy the pound or pre-bagged. You can also get samples of every fudge they sell, AND you can get samples of the Turkey, Brisket, BBQ Meat, etc that they put on the sandwiches! You'll practically be full before you even buy anything to take with you to eat! LOL! Also, next time you get an Icee, you can squirt a small amount in the cup to try of the different flavors to see which you like, so you don't waste a purchase and get something you won't want to finish, and put the domed lid on before you go to fill up the cup so you can fill it through the hole all the way up the dome! Another great thing about their bathrooms is that not only are they continuously cleaning them all day but inside the stalls on the wall they have a disinfectant foam dispenser where you can squirt on some toilet paper to wipe off the seat if you're worried about it being clean or if someone came out immediately before you went in, and it dries really fast so you're not sitting on a wet seat, and an antibacterial hand cleaner dispenser inside the stall as well!
@@grumpypants8113 look for the Buc-ee's flavors as well. They have cherry limeade, pina colada, strawberry, lemonade, classic cane sugar, mango/pineapple/orange combination, and others, and sometimes change out the flavors depending on the time of year for seasonal tastes!
Stopped at a Buc-ee's in the late 80's & was pretty amazed back then. Now they're the size of a Walmart Supercenter. Excellent camera work & editing ! Glad you guys enjoyed this. 😊
I'm watching it a 2nd time and seeing things i didn't catch the first time - the look on Nadine's face when she sips the Icee is hilarious - i think that one girl that walked by was wearing a shower cap- and when Atlanta says "this is my kind of gas station" - very sweet moment. I love watching you guys go on adventures like this - thanks for posting this one.
We got a Buc-ees about six year ago on the gulf coast of Alabama and it was a hoot the first time we experienced it. Love watching the Buc-ees experience through your eyes. The enthusiasm and delight is super fun to watch. You guys asked how it started, I believe. So here you go: Buc-ee’s was founded by Arch Aplin III in 1982, with the first store opening in Clute, Texas. The name “Buc-ee’s” comes from Aplin’s childhood nickname, “Bucky Beaver.” The company started as a gas station and convenience store, with a focus on offering something extra-larger spaces, clean restrooms, and a variety of products not typically found at traditional gas stations.
I live about 15-20 minutes from the Baytown, TX Buc-ee's. When it was being built, we had some family come down from Illinois to visit and we drove by it. I pointed out that they were building a Buc-ee's and that it was a gas station. My cousin's mouth dropped and he exclaimed, "That's a gas station!?!" I just laughed and said, "Yes! A Texas sized one!" 🤣🤣
I don't live near a Buc-ee's but I stop at the Baytown location from time to time because I travel to Baytown for work. We pass right by Buc-ee's so depending on what crew I'm with sometimes we stop there before we go to the first site. It is enormous.
Fun Fact!!!!!!! The BUC-EE BEAVER BRONZE ART you see out front... I know the ones who make those and my partner and i own the crating company that they get sent out in.. I have personalty built the box it ships in..
I’ve lived in the Southwest US for 63 years and have never been to. Buc-ee’s. Never even seen one! They are building one about 100 miles from here in Arizona though, so I soon will.
They only build in Republican states. They are a little pricey but everything is quality. If you can't find something that you like at Buc-ee's then you don't like anything. The jerky is phenomenal, the brisket is good. Not the best according to Texas standards but it is pretty freaking good.
@@kurtsaxton823 There’s one in Colorado. The vast majority are in Texas but they did announce they will be building one west of Phoenix. I live a couple of hours northeast of there.
😂 I was watching that entire video thinking "oooooooh you're gonna spend a lot more money than you think you are!!" 🤣 Buc-ees is a wonderful place.....but you can spend $500 there before you know it pretty easily
It will be off of the I-10 at Bullard Avenue in Goodyear, AZ. If it’s near the racetrack, expect it will be very busy when races are happening there. I read about it online through Google searches. I do look that a chain like this is going nationwide.
I loved all the "Bro...Bro!" as dad entered the mall that is every Buc-ee's! Every genre of food that Buc-ee's offers is delicious! It is very entertaining to watch your family enjoy the perks of the United States!
Buc-ees started in a town called Lake Jackson down on the gulf coast south of Houston. It was originally just a gas station convenience store like any other. Source: I grew up there and the original location was my childhood snack spot up the road from our house.
Buc-ee's even has Breyer model horses (Stablemates). I totally plotzed when I saw them. I got lost in Buc-ee's, too. You walk in, wander around looking and feeling kind of daft, then you buy a bunch of food and merch, then you can't remember which side you parked on, so you have to wander around again to find your car, then you have to take a nap.
You guys are so much fun to watch. I can still remember my first visit to a Buc-ee's in January 2022. We were moving to Alabama from California and stopped at one in Terrell, Texas (outside Dallas) and it was amazing. Now we live 60 miles from the one in Leeds, Alabama (outside Birmingham) and visit it every few months. Thanks for a great video and I wish your family continued joy in all your adventures.
My oldest son was born close by in Dallas, Texas. Lives in Cambridge New Zealand now! You’ll be careful now! You might wanna stay in Texas. Good people.
"Milk instead of just half n half." JUST HALF N HALF??? Half milk and half cream is a treat. You're in the rebuilt Luling Buc-ee's. The first time I walked into the original Luling store they were paging for a lost child. My first thought was, 'how can you lose a child in a gas station?' Then I looked around and realized. They're not basically warmed up chips. They are chips fresh out of the oil that fried them. Look around in the gifts and you might find a rattlesnake head paper weight. Automatic knives were universally outlawed in the US in the late 1950s based on Hollywood movies. Gradually the states have come to their senses, so they are legal in almost every state now. You still can't buy them on Amazon or in most stores (like Target, Walmart, etc.). You can buy flipper knives practically everywhere, and they work much like automatic knives. Buc-ee's also has barbecue equipment outside. Or at least they used to.
Buccees..... only in America guys!!! Love their big Buccees Brisket sammich!! gas is always cheaper, service is fantastic, fast and the bathrooms always spotless!!
Wow! You’ve really been missing out if you’ve never been to a Buc-ees! No one can do it like America! Also the Buc-ees Brisket sandwiches are truly Texas excellence!
In Texas and the southwest we have a lot of ground to cover. Normally Semi-Truck drivers (Truckies in NZ) have all the large complex Truck Stops (RoadHouses) so Buc-ee's is really the same thing for normal drivers. In fact they don't allow Semi-Trucks at all. In general it was the same concept Cracker Barrel did in the 1970's with creating an experience of a country store and restaruant, Buc-ee's decided the road stop whenever you are travelling for hours at a time should be a wonderful experience too. Buc-ee's also knew it was really hard to compete with gas stations on price of gas alone, so by offering so much more they distinguish themselves as a brand and people are generally going to pick to stop there over more traditional gas stations. They can't expand everywhere because they need extreme volumes to stay in business. So buc-ee's only targets large interstate travel corridors that have enough daily traffic to keep them busy all the time. Icee are exactly a frozen fizzy drink. The Icee machine was invented with the idea of freezing sodas. To do so they actually have to cool down the liquid under high pressure so the carbonation does not come out. This high pressure also makes the freezing point very very low. So when you dispense the Icee liquid it is actually freezing and forming ice as it comes out of the nozzle and returns to normal pressure. Oh and don't worry about topping up your drinks after you go shopping, or letting the kids try everything. The Drinks and Food in stores have MASSIVE profit on them, they are paying about $0.05 for each of those cups, if you take $0.01 more out of their profit, they don't care...they want you to be happy and look at more stuff to buy than fight you over pennies.
so before i ever went into bucee's i thought it was weird that people were wearing shirts with a beaver on it. now that i have been to one i get it. i totally get it. the food is good, the best bathrooms ever, and so much to choose from. love that place!
Beaver Aplin, one of the founders, calls Buc-ee's a Gastination. His dog was named Bucky. The original store is out by Lake Jackson. I believe he lives in La Porte. I have heard several interviews with him over the years.
Buc-ees started as a very small gas station in Brazoria County Texas close to my parent's town. Its where we always went for gas. Always friendly folks and served Barbeque on the side. So fun watching the explosion of their growth.
That was such a HUGE place😱 I was cracking up when Sam lost the family lol 😂 If u get a chance to have another icee, make it rainbow by layering each color. You guys looked like you had a good time✨💕🥰
Huge fan of your channel for a long time now! I can't express how happy it makes me that my favorite Kiwi family ended up in South Texas for your first trip to the states! I jumped off my couch when I saw you rocking those San Antonio Spurs shorts. Best team in all of American sports!
Love that ya’ll got to visit this location! My family frequents this location when traveling to San Antonio. We are happy they built this bigger building. The old building was sooooo crowded.
They give you the dome top on the icee so you can fill it higher than the cup. Put the top on first, and then fill it through the hole on top. Love you guys!
I can appreciate how Buc-ees blows your mind. I've been there so many times I've lost count and it does the same to me every time. However, as I know now the general layout, I know where exactly to go for my favorite things so I DONT get lost looking! 😂😂
We always combined all the icee flavors as kids, sounds weird now lol. Thanks for your video, really cool. Never been there and wont be able to so this is an awesome experience.
YESSSSSSS!! I’m sooo happy you went into the bathroom!🤣🤣🤣 that’s my favorite thing about Bucees because if I can hold it in public I will I can’t stand public bathrooms, so bucees bathrooms cleanliness makes me so happy 😂
15:05 I love seeing a parent be a kid at heart! Most adults forget that there's a child inside, screaming for freedom. Adult: Let me test the water. It might be really cold. Kid inside: CANNONBALL ya wimp! When I'm walking with my grandkids, I'm usually the first one to run through the puddle.
my mama loves their brisckett and honey glazed peacans but i like the fudge in Mississippi we're getting our first Buc-ee's in the Spring of 2025 also the tags are stickers
I was stuck at that Buckees for hours once XD our moving truck broke down. It was summer and the AC was the only thing that worked...off and on... I'm a Novemeber child and my Birthday falls on Thanksgiving every few years. I always enjoyed 'sharing' it because we always went to visit my Dad's family and I got to pick out a pair of shoes because Papa owned shoe store. My prefered 'cake' is cheesecake. Fall is my favorite time of year overall
I've heard that Buc-ee's is awesome. I've heard it described as the world's best tourist trap disguised as a gas station. And this video coming out is a huge coincidence because I just saw another video (can't remember where) that said they were known to have the cleanest bathrooms of any gas station franchise.
I absolutely love watching your family visit the US and love seeing your reactions and opinions on everything. FINALLY YOU MADE IT TO BU CEE'S!!!!! I have requested this numerous times in my comments on your videos glad you finally listened hahahaha. Enjoy you all it's INSANE!!!!
I love hearing the words you use for something, I just find it fascinating that we both speak English but have different words for the same thing. So cool!!
A homeless boy was caught living in one of those restroom stalls. I believe he lived there in Buc ee's for well over a month. He knew the routine of those who were cleaning and avoided them to his advantage. Oh, he ate well when living there. 🤫
@@Big_Tex or "Iowa 80 Truckstop", the worlds largest truckstop, but Loves and Pilot are the preferred stops for Semis, CDL and over the road drivers. They're the ones I always use.
Protips on Icees and Slurpees: 1 - put the domed lid on first and then fill it, as you can fit in more above the level of the cup 2 - there's nothing wrong with layering multiple flavors so you can try them all at various stages in one cup.
Took my mom, nephew, and niece on a trip to Florida a couple years ago and never heard of Buckey's until we noticed one in Georgia. We were like WOW!!!!
It cannot be overstated how fun it is to watch your wholesome family enjoying yourselves in the US.
Is your son Denzel named after the actor Denzel Washington?
Cheers
I love it

always fun going there. my uncle lives 15min away and i go every time i visit. the gas most of the time is never cheeper there.
@@kyleheimbrock5439 I wanna go there!
for the icee, you're supposed to fill it to the top of the clear plastic lid, to get the max possible! :)
Yup! It's an unspoken rule, you put the lid on the icee, THEN get it full 😂
I don't do that, but I'm weird.
Also stirring it down as you fill it helps because Icees are pretty airy, if you know what I mean.
Sarcastic
You fill it with the lid and then bang the bottom of the cup on the counter to pack it in. Then you top it off
It's nice to see shops carry Christian products. You are truly Blessed with such a wonderful Family. Love From Michigan and it's a beautiful evening ❤❤

Yes, great tips! You can also put more than one flavor in the Icee cup as well.

Tip about the iced mocha: add a splash of vanilla, it will enhance the chocolate taste dramatically. I owned a small coffee business for awhile 😉
For Icee's and Slurpees, put the top on and fill it up to the top.

I can appreciate how Buc-ees blows your mind. I've been there so many times I've lost count and it does the same to me every time. However, as I know now the general layout, I know where exactly to go for my favorite things so I DONT get lost looking! 😂😂
It's insane how much you say "That's insane."
Or “in my entire life” lol…but it’s cute!😊
It's insane!

We always combined all the icee flavors as kids, sounds weird now lol. Thanks for your video, really cool. Never been there and wont be able to so this is an awesome experience.
YESSSSSSS!! I’m sooo happy you went into the bathroom!🤣🤣🤣 that’s my favorite thing about Bucees because if I can hold it in public I will I can’t stand public bathrooms, so bucees bathrooms cleanliness makes me so happy 😂
You guys got me so hungry watching this video I had to go grab some snacks
15:05 I love seeing a parent be a kid at heart! Most adults forget that there's a child inside, screaming for freedom.
Adult: Let me test the water. It might be really cold.
Kid inside: CANNONBALL ya wimp!
When I'm walking with my grandkids, I'm usually the first one to run through the puddle.
So much fun watching your excitement at Buccees. I live 30 minutes from that one. Enjoy USA.
my mama loves their brisckett and honey glazed peacans but i like the fudge in Mississippi we're getting our first Buc-ee's in the Spring of 2025 also the tags are stickers
The cashews are good too!! 😊
57 days left till 2025.
@@danajohnson4757 I can believe this.
I was stuck at that Buckees for hours once XD our moving truck broke down. It was summer and the AC was the only thing that worked...off and on...
I'm a Novemeber child and my Birthday falls on Thanksgiving every few years. I always enjoyed 'sharing' it because we always went to visit my Dad's family and I got to pick out a pair of shoes because Papa owned shoe store. My prefered 'cake' is cheesecake. Fall is my favorite time of year overall
I've heard that Buc-ee's is awesome. I've heard it described as the world's best tourist trap disguised as a gas station. And this video coming out is a huge coincidence because I just saw another video (can't remember where) that said they were known to have the cleanest bathrooms of any gas station franchise.
They have the cleanest bathrooms of any type of business
They do have the cleanest public restrooms.
It’s all true my friend.
Genius marketing. Haven’t been to one in person, but I have had the Beaver Nuggets. Addictive.
The best Buckees snack is the toasted cinnamon sugar pecans
The cashews are pretty good too! 😊
You can also mixed the Icee flavors!! Use to do cherry and coca cola!! Best combo!
10:38 - "I see you've played knifey spoony before"
I absolutely love watching your family visit the US and love seeing your reactions and opinions on everything. FINALLY YOU MADE IT TO BU CEE'S!!!!! I have requested this numerous times in my comments on your videos glad you finally listened hahahaha. Enjoy you all it's INSANE!!!!
Buckees is the best
I love hearing the words you use for something, I just find it fascinating that we both speak English but have different words for the same thing. So cool!!
A homeless boy was caught living in one of those restroom stalls. I believe he lived there in Buc ee's for well over a month. He knew the routine of those who were cleaning and avoided them to his advantage. Oh, he ate well when living there. 🤫
🤯🤯🤯 That is insane. A definite one stop shop. Thanks for the tour.
They sell tires and car and truck parts there as well, insane.
Truckers love this place.
Semi's (truckers) aren't allowed to park there.
I think you’re thinking of Loves or Pilot or something
@@Big_Tex or "Iowa 80 Truckstop", the worlds largest truckstop, but Loves and Pilot are the preferred stops for Semis, CDL and over the road drivers. They're the ones I always use.
@@Big_Tex Loves is underrated.
That’s not true. I’m employed there so….
Protips on Icees and Slurpees: 1 - put the domed lid on first and then fill it, as you can fit in more above the level of the cup 2 - there's nothing wrong with layering multiple flavors so you can try them all at various stages in one cup.
Nadine looked like a kid with their hand in the cookie jar with that noodle...laughing my azz off 😂😂
Took my mom, nephew, and niece on a trip to Florida a couple years ago and never heard of Buckey's until we noticed one in Georgia. We were like WOW!!!!
Like, if you're american and haven't set foot in a Buc-ee's!
They need a couple in california😂
Bought gas there, but never had the time to explore
It's alright. The food is honestly the only reason I go.
Nice to see yall enjoy yourselves.
Seguin is rich in history of the Texas war of Independence. Let’s hope and pray civil war doesn’t breakout next week.
I'm glad to be in Texas if it does.
@ me too. Big enough to secede.
My 1 yr old was Buc-ee for Halloween! She loved it and she carried her stuffed buc-ee with her❤
Call it a sporkife.😊
I been to Buc-ees in Royse City (outside if Dallas) a touch smaller but you still get the excellent vibe
Whoever told you that the Buckys in Texas is the largest one they lied to you. The one in Tennessee near Sevierville is the biggest one.
Luling, TX has the largest Buc-ees according to Buc-ees website. Might do some research next time you state what you think is a fact.
The largest Buc-ee's in the United States is located in Luling, Texas, and opened in June 2024:
Thank you for sharing your trip to Bucees. Never heard of the place but it sure is massive and very interesting.
