When I stop at Buc-ee’s, it’s for two things. Clean restrooms and the Barbecue brisket sandwiches..😁

This will, literally, destroy smaller gas stations around Lafayette along I-10.

I may have to visit you just to see the new Buc-ees!

This is wonderful news for Lafayette and southern Louisiana! Maybe Buc-ee’s could add boudin and cracklins to the list of great food choices they offer. Very exciting!

WHAT IS LIFE!!!!!!! All those years of driving through Texas and filling folks beaver nuggets orders! Literally I would get texts that said “hey if you’re passing by a Bu-cee’s on your way back to Louisiana, I need…..” 😂 If you don’t know what it is, imagine Walmart, Hobby Lobby, QuickTrip, and Outdoor World somehow meshed their chromosomes together and produced a child! 🤣🤣
