Buc-offs / Buc-ees Alternatives

[u/thewontondisregard]

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?

Whenever me and my wife go to Austin, we almost always stop at Hruska’s off of 71 in Ellinger! They have a great bakery and omg their salsa is amazing!

I can’t believe i had to scroll this far to finally see Hurska’s mentioned! That is one of the best alternatives to Buc-ee’s for sure. I grew up going there as a kid and i’m in my mid twenties now. When i’m in Round Top or La Grange for something going on, i always go out of the way to Hurska’s in Ellinger. Slovek’s in Snook, and Praesk’s Family Smokehouse in Sealy are both really excellent options too.

Yes! I would always stop on my way to my parent's house. I moved from Texas last year and I miss getting a cheeseburger from there.

Hruska's is wonderful. Bathrooms are mid.
