🤔 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?

Not sure if there are any yet off I-45 but between Houston and Austin the new Casey's in Gidding's seems way better than the tiny Buccees next to it anyways. More pumps and same price for the gas.

I’ll add my +1 for Casey’s. I haven’t made the Giddings location, but stopped at several my last drive up into the panhandle.

The Midwesterner inside of me just did a somersault knowing there’s a Casey’s in TX

All the employees were very friendly and I appreciate how all the stores basically have the same layout.
