I probably wouldn't drive hours specifically for a Bucc-ees, but on the road I will certainly stop at one. Clean bathrooms, great snacks ( and brisket) and good gas prices. Plus the store is fun.
My first stop on my road trip next month is Bucc-ees! It means we're really on vacation! |

| I stopped in one once and couldn’t get out of there fast enough. So many dumb people. The bathrooms were no cleaner than a highway rest stop. I actually have never been in a bad rest stop in Virginia. They’re all clean. |

| I love Buc-ees, and I'm occasionally snooty about such things. The snacks and drinks are top notch, and they have a lot of fun merchandise. |

Buc-ees isn’t better than a Wawa, it’s just MORE. 6 gas pumps? No, 60! 1 rack of snacks? No, 1 rack of hundreds is THE SAME snacks! 2 slurpie machines? No, 15 slurpie machines!
It has little variety, just larger quantities. I agree with the Cracker Barrel crossed with Walmart comment, down to the ticky-tacky home decor and cheap branded clothing. Been in 2 on road trips. No need to do that again. |

| I don't like the name, so I wouldn't go there. |

| There is going to be one on 95 near Fredericksburg and another on 64 in New Kent. I’m waiting for one of those to open unless I happen to be on 81 (no plans to, too many trucks). |

Shut up with this old-lady line you use on every thread, old lady. |

I stopped at one once in Tennessee. Never again. Horrifyingly crowded, bathrooms no different than anywhere else (just a longer line), and nothing I wanted to buy. It was like knock off hallmark on one side of the store with jesus tshirts and "faith family friends" signs, and a buccees convention on the other with buccees themed pajamas and pool floaties and dog toys.
Maybe the food is good but I wasn't going to wait in a line 30 people deep to go to the fudge counter. |

I see home values within a 20 mile radius of these places skyrocketing, especially if they extend the Metro to Fredericksburg. |

Firmly on the side of the less-than-thrilled.
The thread title absolutely made me think someone was excited enough to make a special trip. Living in the south now, I miss the variety of ways to spend time in the DC area and refuse to believe the arrival of a glorified 7-11 merits a visit nor indeed an exclamation mark (except for "Sad!"). |

It really is. Last month we moved away from the DC area and on my long drive to our new home I passed by a few Buc-ees. I stopped in a couple to use the restroom and it's bizarre how extreme the "people of Walmart" type it was. I remember thinking "This isn't real-right? These must be paid actors to just create a specific ambiance here." I literally felt like I was on some type of Truman Show experience that everyone else was in on except me. |

You sound like Squidward. The only person who doesn’t like a Crabby Patty is someone who never had one. This applies to Buc’ees too. |

| The wal-mart of gas stations. Their food they cook fresh is great though. |
