Same with me. I've never been to Houston OR a Buc-ee's. There is one we pass on the way to my daughter's house in Denton but I've never been in it. Just seems too overwhelming and I get anxious in crowds.

I feel so sad that y’all are speeding through on interstates. You’re missing so very much that happens on the back roads! Welcome to the US-we love you guys!!!

I love Buc ees!!! My trips to Texas are not complete without a visit to Buc ees.

You forgot to mention how huge the Buc-ees bathroom stalls are! And all the home decor, clothing, jewelry, and various other goods. in the store. It IS totally overwhelming.

So glad you enjoyed your time at our Buc ees! We live in New Braunfels, TX and love it.

I loved my holidays in the USA and there is so much to see and do. Those bread rolls looked amazing.

Marianne is amazing never getting fazed driving on such huge roads ❤

"Everyone loves a happy beaver" should be the tag line for feminine products

I like Buc-ees because they've a very clean loo. I live 2 blocks from that Beer House in Westcott St. Lol

Yall are so wholesome. Thanks for visiting the loan star state!

when i visited neuschwanstein castle, i did the walk over to the bridge that has the amazing view of it all, and on the railing in the center of the bridge was a Buc-ee sticker. as a texan, i felt right at home. 😃

Been a long time since I’ve been able to see it at night for myself, but I remember the Atlanta Skyline being so gorgeous at the right times of night. Especially coming down I-20 from either direction. Just, one of the few highlights I got to experience as a child on the road a lot.

7:05 We have bugs here called “love bugs”. Sometimes they occur in great swarms. If they splat on your car, which is almost impossible to avoid, their body fluids are incredibly reactive. It will strip your paint off your car. You have to get them cleaned off quickly if you want to keep your paint intact.

Austin has several amazing houses such as the one you saw in Houston one house has huge painted metal animals throughout the yard , the neighborhood has several other fascinating homes too. You must also visit Barton springs, don't go to the public pool area where you have to pay , there's a huge park nearby ( there are some homeless people but they were friendly ) My husband and I slept in our van at the springs in the park ( police patrol it but they don't bother you ) there's a short trail down to the springs, it's beautiful ! Love you two, I've been following you since your early days in Türkiye 😊 Safe travels 🙏

Marianne's an accomplished driver to handle Houston freeways at rush hour, and from the opposite side of the van! Hats off to Marianne. I did it in your country for a week. The real trick was the floor shift on the left, no automatic transmissions available, and all those blooming roundabouts! LOL! Buc-ee's has so many gas pumps it's hard to believe but sometimes they are so busy it's almost impossible to find an open pump to pull up to. I agree with the lady at the sandwich counter. Their chopped beef is better than their sliced beef sandwich. I just realized while watching your video, I've never had their turkey sandwich. I'll have to try that! I totally adore your channel and will be following your travels. Y'all are delightful and I hope you enjoy every bit of your journey! A devoted Texas fan.

At the 5:10 mark you were driving on the widest highway. It's in the Guinness Book. It's known as the Katy Freeway.

You guys should head to the world's largest truck stop in Iowa on i-80... It is insane has a church and everything

Welcome to New Braunfels, Texas! I watched them build that gas station and couldnt believe what they were doing. Then, a short while after opening they added even more fuel pumps to get where they are now.

Fun video guys! Love watching you explore the states!

It's so awesome to see you stop at the beer can house. The beer can house is only decorated on the outside. The artist didn't decorate the inside of the house because that was his wife's area. If you have a chance, it's an interesting stop. Definitely check out the Orange Show while you're there, too.

A smiling beaver is completely different than a happy beaver.

Y’all are awesome

I thought the ice cream looked like Dippin Dots, then I saw the sign in the background that said Dippin Dots. lol

Now Buc-ee's is absolutely my FAVORITE service station! Yes, their restrooms are pristine because they have a culture that is beyond what any other fuel station has. They strive for excellence and quality customer service. They also pay their employees quite well. Starting pay is around $17.00/hr. Unfortunately, there are only about 6 in the whole state of Texas and that's it. I go every season as they change out the merchandise to fit with the current holidays. One dislike I have for Buc-ee's is they don't allow pets:( *Did you try beef jerky or brisket? They are two staples of Texas. Ah, saw you tried the brisket!* I loved that you said "tin" instead of "foil." 😉

I am so glad I stumbled on your channel! My husband is from Brighton and moved to the states in the 80's as did his parents and sister. I met him working on the Riverwalk! We rv and love it. I need more room so van life wasn't for me, but I love your channel.

Apparently, he was to boozed up to mow the lawn or garden! Buc-ees is building a new and soon to largest gas station in Seviersville, TN near Dollywood. In New Braunfields, TX is the largest gas station currently in the world! Just north of San Antonio.

Believe it or not, people who live within 5 minutes of that 120 pump Buc-ees (New Braunfels) can feed deer in their backyards just before the sun comes up.

God bless you and your family

Stopped at that Buc-ee's many times, mostly at the request of the rail crews, at my last job when I transported crews for BNSF. Although a bit pricey, the food was amazing and their milk chocolate raisons were to die for. In a 18 months working for that company, I don't think I ever saw everything in the store. Unfortunately, the closest Buc-ee's to me is in New Braunfels, Texas. Two towns in Texas were made famous by music. China Grove (Southeast San Antonio) and La Grange (north of I-10 between Houston and San Antonio) sung by the Doobie Brothers and ZZ Top respectively. Glad y'all loved our great state and are welcome back anytime.

Woo hoo, 80,000+. We are going to get you to 100,000 while you're here, I can feel it. Loved the Buc-ee's tour, I've never been. I have been watching the news of the fires in New Mexico and Arizona, I hope you don't run into any of that while heading West. Take care!

We have a Wally's gas station here in St. Louis, it's basically the same thing as Buc-ees. I mean it's a cool thing to see once or twice. But at the end of the day it's just a gas station.

Buc-ee's is a chain of country stores and gas stations with locations in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, and Florida. Additional locations are currently under development in Colorado, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee and South Carolina. Plans for an additional location in North Carolina were shelved in early 2021. The company is owned by Arch "Beaver" Aplin III and Don Wasek, and has its headquarters in Lake Jackson, Texas.
