Buc-ee's Unwritten Rules for the Ultimate Road-Trip Stop

Buc-ee's, the Texas-born travel plaza now expanding across multiple states, operates as an experience rather than a typical gas station: no 18-wheelers, fill up before exploring, and expect 100–120 gas pumps; known for world-class restrooms, Beaver Nuggets and BBQ, with other treats like fudge and jerky; refills aren’t free and using your own cup isn’t encouraged, and overnight parking isn’t allowed, so plan a quick visit rather than an extended stay.
