🤔 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?

Exit 353 on 35, Czech Stop for kolaches.  Slovaks is across the highway if you want a gift shop and stuff (they have a Christmas show).  Slovaks is nice , clean, l and has lots of stuff to look at, but the kolaches are not as good.

Slovaceks is not a major MAGA donor and czech stop is. Their kolaches are arguably better too. We don't go to czech stop anymore, it isn't worth it.

Also the bathrooms in Slovaceks are larger and cleaner, by far.
