I checked out the desserts, brisket sandwiches and all of the beef jerky. I then went to the Buccees shot glasses. Of course, I took pictures of the Buccees truck along the way. The staff was friendly and able to help me find what I was looking for. My friends and I shopped and ate for two hours! Since there isn't a place to eat, we ate inside my friend's car. The bathrooms are clean with no wait time. I enjoyed looking at the artwork when I entered the bathroom. I noticed there were other products that looked like it belonged to a Hallmark store and fishing store. Buccees has whatever you need and more. The brisket was delicious and I loved the sauce. The sandwich was just enough for me. My friends and I had a fantastic time perusing Buccees and now I know why people are obsessed.

The number of fuel pumps they have is only matched by the number of always clean bathrooms. Need some good Texas BBQ? They have tasty brisket, sausage, and various other options. Lots of fountain drinks, icees, and coffee. If your looking for someone sweet the fudge and freshly made nuts are great to. Of course if you just need gas or to stop for a EV charge you should be able to get in and out pretty quick. Only complaint is they don't have more of them along the gulf coast! :)

I really needed to stretch out and move around. Couldn't really rest well after two hours. I woke up because it was cold many times so I ran the engine a few times to warm up. And noticed the fog was starting to flurry. And it was on the edge of 31°. That was all the incentive I needed to get back on the road. I drove two more hours where it was off the mountain area and 40°, warmer to the south. The rest area was clean and I always try to use them even without the pit stop just to get out and stretch using the car curb for leg/calf stretches and get some water. 37/2024

Parked in the last space of the lot, I was able to open the window that faced the highway so it was a bit of privacy. Between that and the roof vent, a comfortable night at a high point. Comfy! Yes, this rest area allows overnight parking. Not camping, parking. You're here to rest and get some sleep before continuing onwards so do that. Other than a few trucks idling in the lot and a couple who seem to think it's fair to use their engine to break, it was a quiet night. In the morning, a stretch and a visit to the clean restroom and then onwards. Thanks, Grundy County and TDOT! [Review 20208 overall - 470 in Tennessee - 1185 of 2023.]

This one has the added convenience of a Subway and a McD right next door. The disappointment, which cost them a star? They don't care enough about customers to offer warm water in the winter. I tried all four faucets, with none offering that amenity. That's kind of low-class cost-cutting. Is it only temporary? Well if it is, they should have "loved" enough to pay a sign of apology. In any case, what are the odds of that?

I love the slight turn that helps bleed off some of the speed from folks who have been zipping down the highway. [Review 17336 overall - 194 in Alabama - 854 of 2022.]

Picnic tables shady trees are on cement slabs, so visitors don't have to worry about resting their shoes in mud or dirt. The Welcome Center was staffed with a friendly and knowledgeable woman, and, after asking her where caves/caverns were located, she gave tips about caves and caverns that we could visit in Alabama. There are a lot of maps and guides in the Welcome Center to take and read up on places to visit and things to do. There is a big back porch that has many rocking chairs where you can sit in the shade and look at a grassy area.
