Remember when I said Buc-ee’s sells its own branded everything? While you’ll find every variety of Frito Lay and Hershey’s snacks, the beaver brand is king. It’s impossible to not find a great snack. If you’re not sure where to begin, try the Mesquite peppered beef. And you can buy a lot of Buc-ee’s jerky, which takes up an entire wall and comes in a variety of flavors including lemon pepper, ghost pepper, and teriyaki. You can buy Buc-ee’s popcorn, Buc-ee’s hot sauce, Buc-ee’s bean dip, Buc-ee’s organic coconut granola clusters. One trip to Buc-ee’s and you’ll learn quickly that they sell their own branded everything. We weren’t kidding when we said there’s a whole wall of jerky, as shown in this Texas shop. One more treat worth ordering from the Round Up: the sausage on a stick, which is exactly what it sounds like, a massive sausage link wrapped in a tortilla, perched on a skewer. Pair it with Buc-ee’s chips-fresh warm ones are available at the Round Up, or you can grab a variety of flavors from the convenience section. The brisket and pulled pork are both worth snagging for an easy lunch. Behind the counter, workers clad in denim aprons and yellow cowboy hats shout when there’s fresh brisket on the chopping block, slicing it and serving it on sandwiches that are wrapped, hot, and ready to go. Since its home state is known for barbecue, it’s not a huge shock that there’s a massive barbecue counter dubbed the “Texas Round Up” in the center of the store. The Texas Round Up counter at a Texas location Don’t miss the sweet kolaches too, which come in flavors like apple, cherry, and pecan pie. Be sure to ask for it heated if you plan on eating ASAP. It’s simple-sausage and cheese encased in a pillow of perfectly sweet bread-but oh so satisfying. There are several varieties of savory kolaches to choose from, but the jalapeno-cheddar one is the winner. The rest of the more than 50,000-square-foot Buc-ee’s store is divided into two sections: food-of both the packaged and fresh variety-and gifts. You need a jalapeno-cheddar kolache in your life. You can even buy the artwork that adorns the entryway, if you want to give your home bathroom some extra flair. Spacious stalls boast hand sanitizer inside, the sinks and mirrors are enormous, and, yes, they’re kept clean. But don’t be fooled perhaps Buc-ee’s biggest selling point is having what it dubs the “world’s cleanest restrooms.” And they’re pretty darn good. If you’re heading to the Calhoun location, there’s a rest area one exit before you get to Buc-ee’s.
