Buc-ee's

Hearing a rumor on FB of Bucc-ees coming to Norman near Riverwind Casino.

[Ronnie Jackson]

Not a bad place for one. Those brisket tacos are fire, if I remember right.

I hope this is true. Their chopped BBQ brisket sandwiches are better than most BBQ restaurant's.

[Bill Robertson]

That would be amazing. I wouldn’t have to drive almost to DFW anymore. I hope it’s true.

[G.Walker]

Sounds good, that would be a good spot for it.

That was so 6 months ago.

I live 5 miles from a new Buc-cees and don’t suspect I’ll ever go to it. I also don’t own a car, but I borrow my wife’s every month or so. I mean, it’s fine for a gas station, but what is actually above average? The kolaches, BBQ? It’s all pretty average. Just my opinion. I’m sure it’ll do well though.

Bucee's is awesome.

Bucee's is awesome.

A lot of people feel that way. They’re very popular. To me, it’s a gas station trying to be Walmart.

I've never been to, much less seen, one.
It's a southern establishment, yes?

Agreed!

In order - Beef jerky, the bathrooms(!), wall of gummy treats, the bathrooms(!), beaver nuggers, BBQ, the bathrooms(!)

I wouldn't see myself using them just in town that often, but on family road trips they're a god send.

I agree. I use it on road trips through Texas but going there if in town? Eh. Maybe for some fudge

I forgot about the fudge. Add that to my list.

It’s a Texas establishment.

Their product quality is about 500% better than the average WalMart, including their gasoline, to say nothing of the fact that their site-prepared BBQ is ridiculously good for the environment in which it is sold. Not trying to compare it to a Clark Crew or any other dedicated BBQ restaurant, but watching them chop the beef and prepare each sandwich individually is a site to behold. Heck, it was the same for the breakfast sandwiches and other food items - prepared on site, some on order. That's not easy to do, and do as well as they do it, and it's a darned sight better than anything WalMart has ever attempted.


My wife went to Texas with a bunch of her friends about a year ago, stopping at a Buc-ee's along the way. I'd been whining to her about Buc-ee's for a long time and she kinda had the same attitude about it, meh, can't be that special - until she went there. I asked her if I oversold it, and she said, "nope, it's for real." It's now a standard stop for us en route to the Dallas area for OU-Texas.

Unlike QT or ON CUE, Buc-ee's gas is not Top Tier. Their gas is more like Murphy than the aforementioned gas outlets.

I've yet to see a Buc-ees that had a windshield washing station at each pump (wand, liquid, and paper towels). Since the vast majority of their business isn't local, I fail to understand why they chose to omit them? If I need gas, I will stop anywhere but there. I've been to the ones at TX Speedway, Madisonville, and Temple. No windshield cleaning stuff at any of them.

[Libbymin]

This would be a welcome addition as it would be on my way out of town to Texas, which I've done quite a bit over the years. Agreed though that it's not somewhere I would really go as a regular in-town visit. It's more of a road trip kind of place since food and bathroom options tend to be less than ideal for most other gas stations.

[Of Sound Mind]

We love Buc-cee's ... we plan our refueling stops around their locations for our Galveston trips several times each year. For day-to-day needs, OnCue is my exclusive stop. On my travel needs through TX, Buc-cee's is my main stop.

I heard this rumor a couple of months ago, and was trying to verify it. But the McClain County Assessor's site is practically useless.

[dankrutka]

Okay, I’ll give y’all that they’re very clean and have good and interesting food *for a gas station*. I just don’t think they have that good of food for a non-gas station. They’re definitely better than most gas stations, lots of choices, and a bit of a novelty. I just don’t understand them personally as a destination in and of themselves.

If it was going to be located on Riverwind property it would not show up on the county assessor site.

I dare you to dig into a bag of beaver nuggets and see if you can stop digging before the bag is empty.
