Texas is the birthplace of Buc-ee's, and driving through the Lone Star State without stopping at one would be like visiting New York without seeing the Statue of Liberty. Since the first store opened in Lake Jackson in 1982, Buc-ee's has grown into a Texas institution that represents everything big about the state—massive stores, generous portions, and legendary hospitality.
With over 35 locations spread across Texas highways, planning a Buc-ee's-centric road trip is practically a Texas tradition. Whether you're cruising down I-10 from Houston to San Antonio, heading up I-35 from Austin to Dallas, or traversing the Hill Country, you're never more than an hour or two from fresh brisket, Beaver Nuggets, and the cleanest restrooms in the country.
What makes Texas Buc-ee's special isn't just the quantity—it's the history and variety. You can visit the original Lake Jackson store for nostalgia, the New Braunfels mega-store for sheer scale, or any of the highway locations for the consistently excellent experience that made Buc-ee's famous. Each stop offers that perfect blend of Texas pride and road trip convenience.
This Texas Buc-ee's road trip guide is part of our complete Buc-ee's Road Trip Planning Guide. Explore all 20 Buc-ee's locations in Texas and plan your perfect road trip.
