I had just finished an amazing road trip and was saddened that I had to leave those states with Buc-ee's behind! This review is a year-in-the-making, but as I was coming back towards the northeast on I-81 I saw a sight for sore eyes -- a NEW Buc-ee's located in Mt. Crawford, VA! Mind you, it was opening week and this is the most northern location on the East Coast -- so you know it was packed! Regardless of the number of people, nothing -- not food, nor clothes , nor supplies -- was ever lacking! Everything was being bought out, and at the same time being replenished. Service was amazing, and their new Chicken and Fries were amazing! You need to get it with their dipping sauces, though. Buc-ee's was beautifully decorated for the grand opening, and traffic was flowing in and out easily. I'm sooooo happy that there is a Buc-ee's located on the 81 corridor, this is going to be one of my favorite stops on my trips! Gotta visit the BEAVER! read more

This is a great place to stop during a car road trip. There's so much to choose from/do as it's a big location. Whether you're looking for food, souvenirs or even getting gas for your car and going in the restrooms. Lots of option and can kill time here. The store was very clean and well-organized with different sections for everything. Merchandise neatly stacked, displayed, and folded. Food labeled with ingredients - noted I did pick up a fried chicken sandwich (seemed popular) and I will note in the display picture I saw a sauce on it that I pointed out to my partner as I wasn't sure what it was (he thought it was mayo/ I thought cheese and it ended up being a sauce) There wasn't a label on the display from what it was that I could see. It may have been my poor eyesight and will note they DID list all the packaging ingredients on the wrapper for food allergy in a big paragraph. But if you're a picky eater like me and want a brief restaurant-style menu item recap, I would be prepared to ask an employee. Fresh food was neatly packaged and hot food was hot. Beverage/ coffee areas were tidy and labeled. Buc-ee's is known for its bathrooms(according to Wikipedia), and this location definitely lived up to that culture. Lots of stalls and stocked bathroom areas. Parking was plentiful, with clear traffic signals and directions. Shopping carts were stored near the front doors if you wanted to grab one. I don't think I saw any places outside to return the cart so looked like you would have to keep it inside or wheel back to store if you wanted to drop off items to car. Areas for pets to take a break and smoker area were marked and looked well maintained. Despite the store being quite busy when we visited, the employees were friendly and mindful. Staff members were courteous and never seemed to be rushing or shoving past/around customers while in a hurry to complete their tasks. Some of staff were wheeling around things like carts full of products/ holding boxes, and I never felt like I would get bumped into by them. We had a positive experience asking for food samples and ordering items from behind the counter. We checked out at two different entrances as we made two trips. During checkout, I asked one employee even about the chanting and they took the time to enthusiastically explain what the chefs were chanting and shared a bit about the company culture, which explained yelling for fresh-goods. The only minor issue I encountered was when purchasing glassware. The cashier initially tried to place a Shotglass in a plastic bag with several other regular normal items, and I had to ask for additional wrapping to help protect it. He then wrapped it in an extra plastic bag. Would've been nice to have paper or something at the register to wrap it safely. Without the extra padding, it likely would have broken during the drive home. It's also a hazard if it's dropped in the parking lot, gas station areas or honestly anywhere on the premises. So that's why I'm giving 4 stars today. Otherwise, they very charming and smiling - great customer service at the very front entrance to come in. Overall, we had a very good experience and want to stop again at this gas station during our road trips if we are in area. read more

Speechless! Think mega gas station with full service cashiers and tons of food and drink options. Gas was reasonable $3.85. Bathrooms are cleaner than some restaurants that I've frequented. Then there is all the Buc-ee themed swag. Walking out $150'later is an indicator that I am pretty impressed. read more

Stopped here on the way driving back home from West Virginia. It was very busy, very crowded, and a little chaotic, but I was still excited to get to experience being in Buc-ee's. I had been seeing everyone going to the different locations all over TikTok, so I already had an idea of some things I wanted to try. There were a lot of options though, so it was a little overwhelming and I definitely missed some of the good stuff while I was looking through the store. I picked up one of their Brisket Burritos (9/10) it was loaded with different things inside, flavorful, and filling. Also tried the Tortilla Wrapped Sausage on a Stick (6/10) it was dry and the flavor of the sausage started to tasted funny after a few bites too. They had a big wall of many different flavors of jerky, so I picked up a few flavors to take back home for my family to try. Definitely hope a location is built closer to the Hampton roads area one day because there's so many other things I would like to try from them and also I was a big fan of the jerky, so I wanna try the other flavors of that as well. read more

Buc-ee's is absolutely what the model for a roadtrip stop should be. Over 100 gas pumps, a wide range of fresh food, a jerky bar, a bakery, and then a bunch of toys and merch you didn't know you needed. I was about 30 minutes away from this location and decided to check it out after my brother recommended the brisket sandwich. It was really solid and not just for a gas station. I also had the beaver chips-fresh cooked chips in a huge bucket for $1.99! I also purchased some Buc-ee's nuggies (white cheddar), fudge, branded chocolates, beaver keychains, a VA name keychain, a Bucc-ee's shirt, and plushies for my kids. I wish they'd build one further north because I don't anticipate being in this area again for awhile, but my first Buc-ee's experience has me hooked and looking for a reason to go back to Harrisonburg and stop in! read more

Buc-ee's is hands down the best stop on any road trip! From the moment you walk in, the place is spotless, well-organized, and filled with friendly faces. The clean restrooms alone deserve five stars, but then you add the fresh barbecue, endless snack options, and shelves full of fun souvenirs--it's unbeatable. The employee are always friendly and helpful! The prices are excellent! The food portions are quiet liberal!! Every visit feels like a mini adventure. The food is always fresh, the staff works hard to keep everything running smoothly, and there's something for everyone, whether you're hungry, shopping for gifts, or just stretching your legs. Buc-ee's truly sets the gold standard for travel stops. Five stars all the way! The only negative they don't have any Electric Super Chargers like other locations! That was a bit surprising to me! The closest chargers are probably 30 miles away!! read more

Stopped in for a visit on our drive through Virginia. It was my dad's first time visiting, somehow he'd never even heard of Buccees! It was an early morning stop on a weekday, so not at all busy, which was nice. The store was not crowded, the bathrooms were impeccably clean, the staff friendly and happy to welcome us in We poked around the store some, seeing all the different snacks and Buccee branded paraphernalia. We picked up a couple of sausage egg and cheese biscuits to have for breakfast, and bag of Buccee nuggets to snack on later. Pricing on everything is very reasonable, and if they can make something with their logo on it, they sell it. If you've never been, you should check one out. It's more than a gas station, it's an experience! read more

Okay... I finally get it. I understand the hype. Buc-ee's isn't a gas station... it's a whole lifestyle, a pilgrimage, an emotionally healing experience wrapped in BBQ smoke and beaver nuggets. This was my very first visit, and it was everything I hoped it would be and then some. The Food: The pulled pork sandwich? DELICIOUS. Like, shockingly good for a place with 700 gas pumps outside. Tender, flavorful, no notes. The sliced brisket wasn't my favorite (texture thing for me), but the burrito I grabbed absolutely slapped. And don't get me started on the cherry limeade and blue raspberry sodas.. pure joy in a cup. Beaver Nuggets? Obviously yes. Obviously addictive. Obviously dangerous. The Store: It's MASSIVE. Like... you think you've seen "big stores" and then you walk into Buc-ee's and suddenly you're in a Texas-sized Target/BBQ joint/gift shop/theme park hybrid run by a cartoon beaver with a dream. There's merch. There's jerky. There's Christmas gifts (yes, I bought half of them here). There are snacks you didn't know existed. There are snacks you didn't know you needed. There are snacks you still think about days later. The Vibes: Packed? Absolutely. Chaotic? Of course. Worth it? 1000%. And this location in Rockingham, VA is BRAND NEW super clean, super organized, and very "welcome to the cult, enjoy your stay." And can I also mention the bathrooms!?!? How clean and huge and amazing they are! Unmatched!! Final Verdict: I get the obsession now. I'm officially a Buc-ee's girlie. Already planning my next visit. If you see someone smiling at the beaver statue holding a cherry soda like it's a trophy... yeah, that's me. read more

Am I the only one that gets excited when I see Buc-ee's from the freeway? I can't be right? As with all Buc-ee's, this location is easy in and easy out. It has tons of gas pumps with no waiting and plenty of regular parking as well if you just want to head inside. The inside is of course very clean and they have the best bathrooms of any travel stop. IYKYK. This location feels tailored to the area. It has Virginia themed merchandise mixed in with the classic Buc-ee's gear and the whole place is bright, welcoming. I love all the dog stuff like dog toys and the doggy snack bar; I only wish they would become dog friendly already. The passive aggressive signs for dog owners do get annoying but I still love the place . The employees are great and everything moves along quickly. So even if you find yourself, lingering and getting a bunch of stuff you don't need, like me, at least you won't be waiting in line too long. If you're driving through the area and you see the Buc-ee's sign do yourself a favor and pull off. Stretch your legs, grab an iced drink, some beaver nuggets and lots of gifts for your poor dog who has to stay in the car. read more

I never understood the hype for a gas station but I'm probably apart of this cult now. Between the variety, cleanliness, food, and sheer amount of cool things that they offer I'm so down for it. Every area was clean, organized, and packed with anything you can think of. The prices are great, the food is flavorful, I did not expect to like a gas station this much. read more

Yay! Virginia has a Buc-ees! We visited opening day. The place was packed. I visited Buc-ees in Texas. So far, the only difference between the two locations is the Mt Crawford, Virginia doesn't have large drink cozies. We tried the banana pudding, the true beaver tots, the bean potato cheese breakfast burrito, the egg brisket taco, a giant cinnamon roll, coffee & and orange flavored bang energy drink. After breakfast, we went back for round two. Hubby got a brisket sandwich. He loved it. Check the web site for the serving time of items. The breakfast brisket is released at 8am. Save your money on the wanna be tater tots. They seemed frozen, reheated & cold. The banana pudding was my favorite item. It was creamy and sweet. The egg brisket taco was tasty. The veggie burrito was average. The cheese wasn't melted. The cinnamon roll was giant and sweet. The energy drink was good. The coffee was decent. We did not get the beaver nuggets. There are several YouTube shows that list "must try at Buc-ees." There are lots of freshly prepared items including sandwiches, tacos, salads, desserts and fudge. You can sample many of the items, including jerky. The store is part 7-11 and part Walmart. You can select a slurpee or coffee. There are refillable branded coffee mugs you can buy. The paper cups are not refillable. There is so much merchandise. You can get Buc-ees branded party decorations, hats, bathing suits, onesies, jewelry, magnets, mugs, stuffed beavers, sweatshirts, socks & more. I like my soft cooler. They even have fish fryers and grills. There is another section of the store that looks like Home Goods and a bunch of Texas decorators merged. You don't have to be a cowgirl or cowboy to enjoy these awesome items (pictures, upscale decorations and home wares, gifts, clothing and a kitchen explosion of inventory) but you could at least say, "Ya'll." If you can't find a souvenir or treat for you or a loved one, it is on you and not Buc-ees. The chapstick is .99 cents. The bathroom was huge. It was super clean. This location is in the Shenandoah Valley. There are 150 gas pumps. Buc-ees is .50 cheaper a gallon than other gas stations. No trucks allowed. It is worth a visit. And another. If the beaver sees his shadow, there are six more weeks of snacks! read more

Purposely went to Buc-ees for experience. It did not disappoint. The gas station alone is massive. The place is large. Christmas decor made it more a delightful experience with all its glitters. Inside it's like a mall. They have food, fudge, sandwiches, drinks, decors and everything. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. Service was excellent. We even got a picture with Mr buc-ees the mascot. Prices are decent. Great value for your money. We enjoyed our experience here. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Buc-ees. read more

--Location/Parking-- With all Buc-ee there can be a bit of a line to get in and out of the parking lot or freeway off ramp. This is one of two locations in Virginia. Plenty of parking because of its gigantic space. --Ambience-- Similar to all other Buc-ee, clean and well-lit --Service/Staff-- Staff is friendly and the checkout line can vary depending on the time of day you visit. --Products/Service-- Food is served all day, but after 11 or 12 am there is limited hot food options. I think the BBQ station only has pre-packaged food they just made. --Capacity-- Indoors can hold 200 plus people. Be prepared to wait in line during the peak hours or to hunt for a gas pump during the day. --Overall-- Recommend for the cleanliness and the value of the gas price you can't beat with any other station. Food can be a bit on the pricey side. Be warned any electronics or items you buy are difficult to exchange or return because of their policy. read more

Open for business. Be prepared to be overwhelm if you have never been before. Eat before you arrive or you will go crazy on the amount of food options. I arrived in the middle of the night to zero crowds The brisket sandwiches after 10 am but the breakfast wraps with brisket was good and available. 1) The bathrooms are very nice with are work. 2) cinnamon roll way to sweet for me 3) banana pudding yummy! 4) fountain drink Big Red 5) Buc ee nuggets were very sweet but great in milk lol 6) The cut chips were good just check the time they were prepared. 7) Shop responsibly or you may walk out with the most random stuff. Enjoy go at off hours if possible but if you can't be patient and have fun. read more

If you've never been to a Buc-ee's, be sure to stop into any location when the opportunity arises. They're a southeastern US institution! This location isn't the biggest Bucc-ee's I've been to, but it's still massive. Like all, there's of course an unbelievable count of gas pumps (some have 000's!), but the inside store is why you go. A wide array of meal options, snacks, desserts, and beverages. If you like low&slow BBQ and/or homemade jerky, the selections are awesome, and tastes even better. From what I've seen, bathrooms are usually impeccably clean, and today was no exception. There is also a wide selection of clothing & souvenirs to browse - I picked up one of their large thermal mugs, that could double as a weapon if needed ;-) read more

If you get Terry the cashier, wait for the next person. What a grumpy old man. Ruined the whole vibe of this happy place. My request for him not to pack my hot brisket sandwiches with beaver nuggets obviously upset him. Seriously, that's common sense. Then he reprimanded me in front of my children, that I was supposed to put the free, on the side bbq sauce on the register counter, so he could ring it up. It confused me because the sign said 3 free condiments. Who would have known free condiments had to be run up? Time for the grump to work in the back by himself or retire. Obviously doesn't enjoy his job or others. read more

It is consistently the cheapest or tied for cheapest fuel around. The service inside is fantastic, the bathrooms are cleaner than your house, and the food is better than a gas station has any right to be. It is my preferred fuel point these days. read more

This Buc-ee's has not officially opened to public until 6:30 am on 06/30/25 but I must say, I got a sneak peak and you will not be disappointed. As usual Buc-ee's offers an array of goodies from soda, jerky, tobacco, shirts, home goods, canned items, and the list goes on!!!! The staff here are highly personable and attentive. They truly make Bucees what it is!! Buc-ee's, has a great value for what they offer and plenty of parking and as well as handicap. BE SURE TO SUPPORT OUR LOCAL BUCEE's because they are outstanding an even if your just traveling through, it's a must see!! I'm not sure, if they have a car wash, possibly. I will give you guys an update on the official open day!! read more

Stopped at the Buckys in Virginia on our way between my parents house and my house. I will say there's more than enough gas pumps available and no wait. I've never been to a Buckys before so we stopped here and honestly it's like a damn destination stop. It's like Christmas in a bottle. There's plenty of shopping, but there's also some very reasonable and very good food options. So much better than McDonald's, Wendy's or even a Chick-fil-A. We've made a note of this exit and plan to stop here every time we're driving between our home and my parents house. read more

I bought a large brisket sandwich there for lunch for $13.99. I knew the price so that was not the problem. The problem was the large globs of fat in the sandwich. I spit 2 globs into napkins before opening the sandwich and picking out the remaining chucks of fat. The sandwich was also poorly chopped with large chunks of brisket. I work near the store and have been there 6 different times for lunch and I always get the chopped brisket sandwich. This is the second time I have had to deal with globs of fat in the sandwich. The other times the sandwiches was very good. This should not happen a 1/3 of the time and I will not be going back anytime soon. I imagine that first timers stopping there and having the same experience will also be hesitant about stopping again. You need to step up the quality control. When I opened the sandwich you could see the chucks of fat. I should not have to do that with a $14 sandwich. read more

I took a 2 hour road trip. Huge convenience store. Lots to choose from. Service was great. I had the chicken and fries. The chicken was heavily breaded with no seasoning.

I was very impressed. I liked the clean bathrooms with full doors. It was cute to wander around the store. I appreciated the variety of food options and they have a small liquor section. Parking is insane though. Would I travel 5 hours to get there, No, but if I am traveling where I would pass a Buc-ee's, like this one was on my way to visit my dad in SC, I would definitely plan it for a pit stop. read more

First-Time Buc-ee's Adventure in Virginia: A Southern Staple Hits the East Coast! As a Virginia Beach local who's always on the hunt for the next road trip gem, I finally made the pilgrimage to the brand-new Buc-ee's in Mechanicsville, VA (just outside Richmond). Let me tell you, this wasn't just a pit stop--it was a full-on Texas-sized spectacle that had my family buzzing for hours. If you're anywhere near I-95 and haven't swung by yet, drop everything and go. Here's the lowdown from my Sunday afternoon visit. First off, the gas prices? A game-changer. We're talking a solid 20-30 cents cheaper per gallon than what we're shelling out back home in Virginia Beach. I filled up the tank without breaking a sweat (or the bank), and with lines moving like clockwork, it felt efficient even on a busy weekend. Pro tip: Download their app for the latest fuel deals--it's a lifesaver for us beach-to-mountain commuters. The station itself was hopping like a county fair on steroids. Dozens of cars queued up for pumps, families spilling out with armloads of snacks, and folks weaving through the aisles like it was Black Friday at a candy store. Despite the crowd (prime Sunday lunch rush), everything flowed smoothly--no chaos, just that infectious Buc-ee's energy. Clean restrooms? Immaculate and spacious enough to handle a small army. They even have those fancy hands-free dryers that make you feel like a high-roller mid-hand-wash. Now, the real star: the food. Oh man, where do I start? We grabbed the infamous Beaver Nuggets (those sweet, cinnamon-sugar corn puffs)--addictively crunchy and impossible to eat just one handful. My kids demolished a fresh kolache (the sausage-and-cheese one was smoky perfection), while I went rogue with a chopped brisket sandwich slathered in house-made BBQ sauce. Juicy, tender, and way better than any chain fast food I've had in ages. Washed it down with a massive frozen slushie in flavors like pecan pie (yes, really). Prices are fair for the quality--nothing over-the-top, and portions that could feed a tailgate party. If you're carb-averse, they've got fresh fruit cups and salads too, but let's be real, this is indulgence central. Shopping? It's a wonderland of weird and wonderful. From Beaver-branded apparel (I snagged a hat that screams "road warrior") to quirky gifts like hot sauce flights and jerky samplers, I walked out $50 lighter but grinning ear-to-ear. The bakery section alone--rows of glazed donuts and fudge squares--nearly derailed my diet. Overall, Buc-ee's nails that rare combo of convenience, flavor, and fun. It's not just a gas station; it's a vibe shifter that turns a mundane drive into a mini-vacation. Five stars from this first-timer--I'll be back soon, probably dragging half of Virginia Beach with me. If you're in VA and haven't experienced the hype, what are you waiting for? Your inner road-tripper will thank you. read more

Holy moly. Don't go to Disney world. Go to Buc-ees in Mt Crawford VA. Take 81S exit Mt Crawford turn left and look for 2000 cars parked in Buc-ees gasoline station and 1000,s and 1000's of square feet store. I asked an employee how many staff was on duty. 400. Must have been 3000 customers. Scott and I got the brisket small. Excellent Where do we sit? In your car. I want to sell them 500 picnic tables. Haha. Plan to spend a least 45 minutes and you may see 20% of the store. Gas was cheap. read more

Great place! Wonderful, fresh, tasty food. Clean bathrooms. PLENTY of fuel pumps! Good value for service.

walked in at around 2pm on a Saturday and felt like being stuck in a r*dneck fever dream. Some of the weirdest creatures I've ever seen walking around. End less gas pumps kids with mullets and hollowed out gooner employees. Valuable some say essential brisket and a poor sweaty man trapped in a beaver suit. Cheesesteak burrito was gas just kinda too greasy. If you want to feel American come here. read more

First time we've ever visited a Buc-ees. What a blast! Huge, fun and a little crazy. Lots of food options. Loved the brisket and pork bbq sandwiches. The bathrooms were so nice too! Great place to stop. Only down side was no seating area to eat. They did have a dog potty area. read more

Very much overrated and not worth the detour. Was ridiculously crowded and the traffic flow in and out was designed by someone with little to no understanding of how to manage traffic. I'm sorry but putting a "don't stop in box" sign and painting a box in your intersections is not going to fix such a poorly designed parking lot. Took forever to get out because of all the inbound traffic. Had to turn around and try several different exits before was able to get out and even then I had to wait until someone driving in stopped for me. That took a long while. The brisket sandwich was gross and overpriced. The jerky I got was ok and the fudge is average. The best part was that the excessively long lines moved quickly so I didn't have to wait as long as I was afraid I would. The gas prices were good, so if you are lucky enough to stumble across an open pump as you're circling the lot trying to get out, go ahead and top off. read more
