Being here makes me incredibly sad that I don't have one anywhere near me…read more Let's talk about the hot food first ! We had the best brisket sandwich. The sauce is a little sweet, I recommend the sliced brisket over the chopped brisket any day. I would recommend to just skip The three meat sandwich, all you could taste is a sausage- and this may be a hot take... But I don't love the sausage. As for the chicken tenders, wait until it's hot fresh and just put out and it's a life-changing experience. The Buc-ee's sauce is the only way to go. You can get barbecue sauce or honey mustard at any other place. The fries are definitely better than the homemade chips. I did not like those chips, I don't know if I just didn't have them hot and fresh, but I would say skip them. We got some banana pudding to go. Also, would not recommend. It's vanilla pudding with some bananas and wafers. I like my banana pudding to be banana pudding not vanilla pudding with bananas, etc.. We grabbed some essential road trip, snacks, including Buc-ee's nuggets, two different kinds of beef, jerky, peanuts, pickle, flavored potato sticks, and some of their signature mince, both the cotton candy and the traditional. We also got some of their signature cola. The diet cola was mid, the regular was better. and in addition to the snacks and food, we also picked up a hat and a T-shirt for both of us. The staff were amazing. This place is like Grand Central Station, it gets very crowded very fast. Speaking of fast, the cashiers and folks working at the meat carving station were legendarily fast.. The whole experience is great ftom the moment you park in the clean parking lot until the moment you checkout! and if you need to use their bathrooms those are also pristine with a great light system that tells you exactly which stall is open. This place is a well oiled machine designed to be a road tripper's paradise

Note that there are signs prohibiting overnight parking, which is disappointing. [Review 20373 overall - 3502 in North Carolina - 1351 of 2023.]

They had a giant butterfly and giant owl on display but when I asked about the owl, it was not really related to the area or any activities that staff could communicate. They basically just said that it looks nice and the lady who made the large butterfly made that also, so they put it up. I thought that was a little strange as North Carolina has barred owls but not the specific species that the giant decoration is. It does make for a nice piece to look at though. They did have printed information for the activity that I was specifically looking for and everything was well organized. This location is definitely worth a stop.

For us, this has become one of those familiar road trip traditions. It's a great place to stretch your legs, take a quick break from the highway, pick up travel information, and prepare for the next leg of the journey. The Welcome Center is clean, well-maintained, and always seems to be a popular stop for travelers heading north. I'm curious... How many of you make this same stop when traveling northbound on I-75? Has the Kentucky Welcome Center become a traditional stop for your family over the years, or do you usually keep rolling down the interstate? I'd love to hear how many of us have made this a regular part of our trips north.

Ladies the bathroom door is broken, so beware and do not let it shut all the way or you'll be stuck. That was a pleasant surprise, thank goodness I have my husband with me to help. There are traveling notes and such, but if you want maps, etc ask the security worker. Bathrooms were really clean and they had an interesting 'soap & sanitizer' combination for the soap. And the blow dryers only blew cold air. So enjoy that little rude awakening. Overall not a bad place to pull off into, it just needs more attention in certain areas and I felt like it deserved four just for the cleanest bathrooms I've seen on this road.
