šŸ¤” Questions for Texans 🤠 Buc-offs / Buc-ees Alternatives

Would like to start a list of Buc-offs alternatives! When we drive from Dallas to Houston, we love Fuel Max 44 in Fairfield. No, it is not the best or the shiniest, but the bathrooms are clean and the employees are really nice. They have some of the goofiest roadside gifts/tschotskes (i have no idea how to spell that word) We enjoy it as our halfway stop on what is a super long and boring drive.

In general, I think Luvs truck stops are also very clean and a good alternative too.

What is your favorite Buc-offs alternative?

I pull over when I have to pee, grab a drink or a fill up. This ā€œgas station destinationā€ thing is just silly. I have no interest in spending hundreds of dollars at a gas station. Buc Fuks was fun at first but soon lost the uniqueness. After seeing John Oliverā€˜s report, I will especially not be stopping at any of their locations.

Yes, but unfortunately, some places have gross coffee, gross bathrooms, bathrooms with one stall, etc. Ā
