The brisket is beaver meat.
its also fresh and its on the board
I would stop in for the bathroom.
i love bucky’s piss palace
I was in awe at their bathrooms the first time I went to one.
Like a Walmart, Cracker Barrel, and a truck stop had a 3-way and out popped this abomination. I went once, never again.
Actually fuck Buc-ees or whatever that gross Republican beaver is.
And here on the East Coast we already have Wawa and Sheetz so let’s not pretend Beaver Barn is special in literally any way.
Very clean bathrooms.
I’ve never been disappointed in a Sheetz or Wawa bathroom, but I guess maybe I could just have good luck on that one
Except the beaver nuggets
Admittedly I’ve never had them, but they look and sound like Corn Pops cereal, which is available everywhere.
They’re crunchier, more like puffed Cheetos; and crunchier still from the buttery sugar coating. And they’re salty. And addictive as fuck.
I didn’t know about the Trumpie associations, and that’s sad, 'cause they have one hell of a beef jerky selection.
Sheetz is the goddamn best my god.

And they say the orcs have no culture
I never heard of Buccees before but YouTuber Joe Scott hyped it up. But he’s Texan so of course he’s proud.
Don’t try to park overnight at Bucees, they’ll kick you out and threaten to have you towed if you don’t leave fast enough.
And notice how they have a bunch of fresh cooked food but no place to sit and eat? All they want is your money and then for you to gtfo quick.
On a long road trip i keep camping stools (the tripod ones) in my car and use a cooler as the table. Nothing is gonna stop me from getting the XXL brisket sandwich
I find their bbq to be pretty mid but I love their cheesesteak burritos
no place to sit and eat
Jokes on them, I eat right inside the store.
Perusing the comments here makes me glad to be loyal to no corporation. I really have Nestle to thank. Knowing how evil they are from a young age has proven one of the best barometers.
This post just shows how many Americans are on here. Buc-ees is shit. What other country would turn a gas station into a tourist attraction. Its sort of like a church for giant gas-guzzling child-smashing cars. Oh and dont forget to take a shit while you are there, tell your friends!
Preach brother! Smite the ignorant heathens for they willingly choose retardation instead of glory.
I mean Rudy’s is all right. Best “bad” BBQ you’ll ever eat. Started in gas station and is now a chain across Texas and a few other states. Original gas station is still there, only now it’s just a restaurant. They make my favorite BBQ sause.
In France there’s some really nice gas stations on some of the popular highways. In the summer there’s so many tourists going on vacation through these that some of them even set up temporary art exhibitions or special activities like bouldering, bow&arrows, etc. I remember doing my first “dive” in a special water cube on the parking lot of Montélimar’s station when I was a kid, good times. Of course none of that is even remotely similar to putting a beaver themed slop-shop and calling it a day, the shops mostly just sell local products and the usual essentials.
In my lifetime the French petrol station toilets went from horrible squat toilets where you needed to bring your own paper to pretty well maintained, mostly really clean experiences.
There are still some stops without petrol stations that have unmanned toilets. Those can be a bit rough, but generally it’s really good.
Yeah these days the standard on the toilets have gone way up (and stayed free, looking at you Belgium/NL), TBH for me even the unmanned ones are okay in case of emergency, it’s more that these stops lack a simple row of vending machines imo so I only use them if I really just need a quick bio break, they could be so much better as a more nature/calm alternative to the ones with shops.
The big stations along “autoroute du soleil” have been huge for a while though, at least since my childhood over 30 years ago. Beaune, Montélimar, etc.
French gas stations just make me think of ‘The Vanishing’. Such a great film.
I would be so interested to see what a gas station bouldering popup looks like…
That’s a nice obscure reference there, lots of interesting trivia around that film and as a french living in NL, sounds like I should watch this. Looks pretty janky though haha.
Oh then you definitely should watch it! So long as you are okay with disturbing films that will stick with you.
Speaking of trivia: ‘The film was disqualified from the Oscars due to too much French.’
France is doing it correctly, that sounds awesome. I wanna go to a gas station, get hopped up on some fumes and then start blasting arrows in every direction
When WALL DRUG did it, it was cool
I don’t understand wall drug either, but to be fair I didn’t stop because I was trying to get through south Dakota as fast as possible
Arch Aplin, the owner of Buc-ee’s, is a huge Republican donor who backs Trump-aligned candidates in Texas, including Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton. Buc-ee’s really lost me when they opened one in Bastrop on 71 and planted a billboard over Hruska’s, trying to drive away their business, but I would never go there regardless.
So villainous Dolly Parton is opening a series of alternative chains
Sheetz gang where you at?
Here, cheap gas and good wages for the workers. I’m on the other side of the country now, but I miss it. Though apparently wawa is now invading ohio as well
This aggression shall not stand. We need a Sheetz in Newark.
They put one in on 21st street a couple years ago much to the chagrin of the old ladies in the neighborhood. Ohio will not stand for these red aggressors, if you need gas you go to Marathon, BP or Speedway and suffer as God intended
Same draw, you know it’ll have a clean bathroom. I don’t think they have any overlapping areas though.
SWVA and NC have both now
I used to pit stop at the original buccees for the nice bathrooms back in the day. Small place, nice bathrooms, a little kitsch.
Then they did the new ones. I am from here and they still completely astound me. The jerky is good though so I stop and get a supply about once a year. Then I am shocked when they scream about brisket.
I hate Buc-ees but they do have clean bathrooms and they always have working EV chargers
I’ve never been in one, but family brought home some of their “beaver nuggets” and I really couldn’t believe how disgustingly delicious they were. Basically they are big crunchy sugary things that taste a lot like plain Capn’ Crunch, but they go down by the handful way to easily.
A friend told me if you want to be really decadent you can eat them in a bowl with some milk like breakfast cereal.
They also brought me some of the fudge, but I was less impressed with that.
Okay… Have you thought about putting capn crunch in the air fryer before the milk? Is that what that is? We don’t have bucees here
I had the beaver nuggets for the first time this past summer…I found that they got even better a few days later as they got just ever so slightly stale…it gave them this wonderful “al dente” texture!
