Buc-ees is a chain that has the BIGGEST gas stations in the US. They are HUGE! So big that they can be considered a tourist attraction. We recently went to the largest gas station in Texas, New Braunfels.
We recently went to the New Braunfels location (which held the title of the biggest gas station in the World for a while). New Braunfels is located between Austin and San Antonio.
Buc-ee's decided that they needed to build one even bigger in Tennessee. So Tennessee will hold the title for a while. But you know Texas, as soon as Tennessee has the title, Texas wants it back. So Buc-ee's is building a 75,000 sq ft location in Luling, TX. (Coming Soon)
In this post, I'm excited to tell you all about the largest gas station in the world and share with you all the different products and souvenirs you can expect to see when you visit.

What is Inside Buc-ee's Gas Station?
I think the better question is to ask is “what is not inside Buc-ee's Gas Station?” Let's start with the normal things inside a convenience store and what Buc-ee's has to offer that is different.
Soda at Buc-ee's Gas Station
One thing that makes Buc-ee's Gas Station so cool is that they carry their own brand of everything, Soda is no exception. There are of course your traditional Coke, Pepsi, and other products, but you can expect to see is the unique Buc-ee brands of soda.
As you walk inside Buc-ee's you will find an entire wall of this insanely huge gas station dedicated to drinks and pop. This makes the Largest gas station in the US worth visiting!
Fresh Snacks at Buc-ee's
Most convenience stores have fresh snacks but Buc-ee's has a grocery store-like selection. There are fresh fruits and pre-packaged healthier selections of snacks.
I love that they have so much variety! This is perfect if you need something fresh while on a road trip! That is another thing the biggest gas station in the US has to offer!
Souvenirs at Buc-ee's Gas Station
Most gas stations will have souvenirs. Buc-ee's takes it to a whole new level. As I mentioned above, the largest gas station in the world is kind of like a tourist attraction. There are Buc-ee's souvenirs everywhere.
Beaver Gas Station
You will find the typical souvenirs such as keychains, snowglobes, and coasters, but you will also find the Beaver mascot Buc-ee! You can get stuffed animals, puppets, or even blankets with Buc-ee on them. This is the beaver gas station!
These are great ideas for souvenirs when visiting the largest gas station in the world…..you really do need something to remember this experience.
We actually bought a Buc-ee sweatshirt and puppet. My kids loved them!
Meet Buc-ee!
On our most recent visit to the biggest gas station EVER, guess who we saw….BUC-EE!!!
We were so surprised, it was awesome that you can take pictures and shake his hand! He is quite a celebrity!
Only the largest gas station in the World would have a true mascot! It really is awesome!
Snacks at Buc-ee's
Snacks are a typical convenience store staple. However, Buc-ee's takes snacks seriously! You will find the normal candy bars and chips but Buc-ee's also offers an entire wall full of specialty candies. There are lots of different flavors and varieties.
Everything I have tried that is the Buc-ee's brand is really good! The variety is unbelievable. If you want nuts – they have them and every kind you can imagine. You want chips, there are flavors you love and ones you have never heard of.
The candy wall is really the most impressive site to see visually. It spans half the store!
What Makes Buc-ee's Different From Other Gas Stations?
You might be thinking, okay the information so far is what I expected, bigger and better, more variety. That is good. But what makes Buc-ee's different? I'm excited to tell you all the cool things that make Buc-ee's unique.
Buc-ee's Texas
A lot of the uniqueness has to do with Texas culture. Things that people love and enjoy in Texas. Don't worry if you are visiting a Buc-ee's in another state this culture and Texas tradition is following Buc-ee's no matter where it is located.
Bar-B-Que Sandwiches at Buc-ee's Gas Station
In the middle of the store, fresh-made bar-b-que sandwiches are available for purchase. It is so Texan. But wow, it smells amazing. I have never been super excited about well any type of sandwich at a convenience store, but this was different.
Biggest Sandwich at the Biggest Gas Station
The fact that there are all sorts of sauces and the meat is freshly cut right before your eyes is amazing. If you live close to a Buc-ee's you can go for lunch or dinner and get a great meal. If you are on a road trip and stop at Buc-ee's you can plan for a meal.
This is a unique and amazing thing at Buc-ee's gas station you have to try!
We tried both the chopped bar-b-que sandwich and the sliced bar-b-que sandwich. I like the chopped brisket the best. It was very good!
Meat Counter at Buc-ee's Gas Station
Have you ever seen a meat counter at a gas station? Yes, at a grocery store, but never in a gas station. This meat counter is different. There are all sorts of dried meat jerky on display.
There are also beef sticks and freshly sliced meat for deli sandwiches. This is one of those things that make going to the largest gas station in the world worth it.
We bought some jerky and it was really good!
Kolache - Bakery at Buc-ee's Gas Station
Kolaches are a Texas thing. There is a lot of German influence in Texas Hill country where the Buc-ee's New Braunfels is.
Kolaches
There are two types of Kolaches one is like a “pig in a blanket” sausage in a roll. The other type is a dessert. There is a sweet filling in the middle of yummy bread. Buc-ee's has a lot of choices to choose from.
They also have delicious homemade treats to buy in this area such as muffins, cinnamon rolls, and cookies.
Buc-ee's Fudge
There are so many choices of fudge. It is all fresh and delicious.
Hot Tip for Buc-ee's Gas Station
Let me give you a tip….Fresh is Best. We bought one piece from the fresh fudge counter but thought why not have a variety and bought a pre-boxed fudge sampler. It was dry and didn't taste as good.
Go directly to the fudge counter to get your fudge at the biggest gas station in the World!
Home Decor and Shopping...At Buc-ees Gas Station?
Another unique thing about Buc-ee's is that there is an entire section of home decor, kitchen items, and shopping area.
Shop at Buc-ee's
In this area, you will find cute souvenirs but also toys, shirts, home decor, kitchen gear, outdoor and camping gear. It really has everything. You can spend time shopping. A lot of the merchandise had a Texas theme to it. We loved looking around at all of the fun things.
Buc-ee's Clean Bathrooms
Being that Buc-ees is the biggest gas station in the World, it wants to have a BIG claim to something that not all gas stations can….Clean Bathrooms. You will see signs up to 200 miles away advertising the remarkable clean bathrooms.
One thing you can be sure about is that the bathrooms will be clean! That right there is worth the stop at the Buc-ee's, especially if you are on a road trip.
Not only should it get a reward for the biggest gas station in the US but one of the best just for this one reason!

How cool to visit the largest gas station in the world! Buc-ee’s has something for everyone. What a fun and quirky (and practical) destination.
I like try something new everytime we stop by!
120 pumps is really something. Looking at the food photos made me hungry. The BBQ and fudge looks fabulous. If I was camping it would be close to Buc-ees. I would get all my food and snacks here.
Exactly! Such a fun Place to stop!
We stayed near the Buc-cees in St. Augustine and although I didn’t stop in, the kids drove over one night to check it out. They said it was a trip!
It is pretty crazy!
I can’t believe my family has driven to Florida about six times from Missouri and we have never stopped. I’ve seen it from the road, but we’ve never thought to exit until we passed it. Maybe we’re just so excited to get to Disney by the time we’re actually in Florida. Who knows? Next time, we need to stop. We are getting one in Springfield, Missouri, so I’ll probably visit that one before the one in Florida.
I would be more excited about Disney too! But you can check it out in Missiouri!
How fun! I love quirky places like this!
me too! So much fun!
Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg is a favorite vacation spot for our family… I can’t wait to add a stop to Buc-ees on my wish list once the new giant store opens!
It will be so cool! That area is amazing!
What a fun way to make a gas station a fun stop. I think we would go out of our way to stop at Buc-cees to get some beef jerky and of course, fudge. Oh, and don’t forget I collect Christmas ornaments. I’ll have to get one of those as well.
I love finding fun little places like Buc-ees when traveling!
Coming to South Carolina soon. I can’t wait to visit. I want to try some of that fudge. I hope it is not to far. If so it is worth a short road trip.
It is worth a littlle road trip!
They’re expanding for sure! Looks like a fun stop!
We love going!
Who doesn’t love a clean bathroom? I know I do. I love that they sell brownies, one of my favorite desserts. My husband hates it when I come to the car with home decor after stopping somewhere to use the restroom, but some of my best finds have been in gas stations. I can’t wait to check out a Buc-ee’s when I see one.
I know right! One stop shop!
Wow I’ve never heard of Buc-ees before, but I’ve never been to the south and it sounds like that’s where most of them are located. It sounds massive though! 120 pumps?! Seriously! Wowza! That would be a sight to see!
Yeah, it is insane!
Wow, this place is seriously impressive! Definitely worth the stop to check it out! I can’t even imagine the logistics behind 120 gas pumps.
I know right! I thought Costco was bad!
It reminds me of Walldrug!
Yes, exactly! Except Buc-ees is more of a traditional gas station. They are both great road trip stops!
We discovered Buc-ee’s while in Texas last year. The gas prices were great and the store was almost like walking into a mall. We love the place.
It is such a cool place!
Holy cow! That place is HUGE! I guess even gas stations have to be bigger in Texas! LOL. We would have stopped there too though… love roadside attractions!
I know right!
I love unique roadside stops and this one looks like a great one!!
This is a good one!
I believe we drove by the Buc-ees in Florida while visiting. Will have to check it out the next time – for gas and anything else we need!
It is a fun place to see!
Wow, I had no idea that such all-inclusive gas stations existed! We’ll check one out the next time we take a road trip to Florida.
For sure! It is overwhelming how much it fun stuff they have!
I’d love to visit a Buc-ees! They look amazing and full of items.
So many unique items!
Why isn’t there one in Indiana Lisa?
I know right!!!
We stopped at our first Buc’ee’s and found it very difficult to get fuel in a class a motor home and our 5th wheel. Be nice if there wS a separate place for camping vehicles! Inside was crowded, but fun!!
It is crazy busy! But so fun!
