    On a recent misty night a little after midnight I took the exit southbound on I-95 to enter this rest area, a crooked walking truck driver with a billy club walked around his rig tapping each tire as I slowly approach the designated parking space, he looked up with a ghostly stare that still sends a shiver down my spine today. After parking my rig I hopped out and started towards the main structure in search of the rest rooms. I noticed the old trucker had started following me or at least going in the same direction. I kept my pace towards the empty corridor housing the restrooms contemplating my options, I stopped in the dimly lit hallway to see if the stranger would take any evasive measures while I pretended to use my cell phone. The old man continued towards me dragging his game leg taking a right into the hallway housing the toilets directly in front of me - there were no sign of any security around so I decided to hangout till he reappeared even though I was more than ready to uhm wash my hands. Ten minutes passed and still nothing I decided to go regardless of the situation so I slowly approached the restroom door and then walked through it only to find it completely empty I found it rather strange knowing there is only one entrance in and exit from the restroom - I uhm washed my hands and started walking back to my vehicle thinking that was weird and that's when I noticed the truck was gone, yes the one the the old man was checking the tires on. This rest area is not well lit and kinda spooky in the middle of the night with the growling of the truck engines and a few parked cars with napping drivers or homeless families living in their car hoping to go unnoticed. I pulled back onto the highway writing off the experience that felt more like a phenomenon to just being tired after a long day behind the wheel. I sipped on my slightly warm coffee and settled in to drive the last leg home when out of nowhere the old man appeared walking on the shoulder of the road at least ten miles from the rest area, no truck insight and as I approached him from behind he turns and looks directly into my headlights and gives me this erie smile as I passed nearly causing me to lose it. Yes it's a nice place to stop in the daytime but I'm not returning after the sunsets...

    Easy to access but the bathrooms were gross. I went into one Stall where the toilet was overflowing... tried another stall, the soap dispenser was broken. Oh and beware of poisonous snakes apparently?

    I had quite an experience here! Stopped by after coming home from South Carolina and unfortunately had car troubles. But worker here let me leave my car there for two nights (to avoid paying a tone for towing services, I live 3+ hours away) and eventually hauled it back home! Bathrooms were clean and vending machines were stocked . Also, have picnic tables to eat and enjoy the outdoor.

    This rest area is located just off of I95 Southbound in Northern St John's County, Fl. It is located just before exit CR 210 exit 329. Waymarking coordinates for the GPS: N 30° 05.669 W 081° 29.943 I just had to Yelp about the fact that this rest area is sooooo clean! The grounds, the bathrooms AND the picnic areas. There are a lot of picnic areas (covered) and places to walk the dog. The vending area has about 7 machines with a good drink selection and only moderate junk food items. The do have an ice cream bar and cone vending machine which is a nice little refresher after driving a long distance, then stepping out into the scorching hot Florida weather! NOTE: Important!!! As with most ALL waterways in Florida, both man-made and natural, one must be cautious of all of the critters that could be detrimental to your health here. Note that there is a fenced off water area that has a posted caution sign to be very cautious of venomous snakes!!! See pictures attached to review. Perhaps the picnic table directly adjacent to this area is not the best place to plop down for a snack or walk Fido.

    Half of the stalls were closed off and the rest stop smells funny. It does look good from the outside walking in though...

The selection of food, snacks, drinks, and Buc-ee's merchandise is impressive, and the breakfast sandwiches are definitely worth grabbing for the road. Also, do not pass on the jerky, fresh, delicious, and a wide variety of flavors! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the restrooms were exceptionally clean--which is a huge plus on a road trip. I love how the restrooms have red and green lights to let you know if they are available. There's also plenty of parking and lots of pumps, so getting in and out is easy. Overall, Buc-ee's is certainly not just a gas station--it's an experience. Consider a free to visit attraction! Great food, great service, a fun atmosphere, and some of the cleanest facilities you'll find on the road. I'll definitely be stopping here again!

I have been to several…read morelocations throughout the country before visiting the St. Augustine location so I was already expecting it to be busy. We were heading up north on a road trip and even though we would be passing other Buc-ees locations, we decided to check this one out since it was new to us. I like visiting different locations to see what their themes are regarding designs based on the location. For example, the Daytona location has race car flags in their themed items. I did not find anything here that was distinct to St. Augustine though. I mean it could be because I was so distracted with the chaos that I didn't see anything. Like any other locations, this location also has several food options and is always stocked up. You can find almost everything here. They even have seasonal themed items for the holidays! I have been to this location I think 2-3 times and it is always busy, like all locations. The cashiers work very quickly so the lines move fast.

The place was well kept and the early morning staff was busy preparing for another busy day but provided excellent customer service with great appreciation and a smile. After leaving NSB, Florida long before sunrise heading north on I-95 I decided to stop and top off the bus before most of the world opened their eyes - today no lines and lots of open lanes so it was easy in and easy out. I'm still trying to figure how I can expedite the process, having to go inside and estimate the gallons needed to fuel up and prepay still seems strange and inefficient but that's how it works. After fueling if you've guessed wrong or want to get a receipt of the actual amount pumped requires a second trip inside after pulling away from the pumps. I guess this is one way truck drivers get their daily steps in - but once inside their pretty much aby thing else you could need from a cup of hot coffee, a bathroom break or shower and all the snacks and electronic devices you could ever think of for life on the road. Love's is definitely not always the most competitive price when it comes to diesel fuel or DEF but they are convenient and for the most part a one stop shop they have it all retailer so I'll continue to stop in as needed...

NO HOT TUB and it DOES NOT include breakfast, on the weekends you can purchase at breakfast for 14 per person. Every other day the maid will clean your room, maybe. Whoever ours was, used the toilet and didn't flush causing the smell to linger. They took the trash out and left some coffee cups. The lobby area is nice with a mini Starbucks and a small Bar and a big TV room. Outside you'll find the pool and an awkward square 1 hole putting mate, where the hot tub used to be. We probably wouldn't choose this next time we go outta town. The price compared to other chains really isn't worth it.

Breakfast is not included but there is a bistro in the lobby where you can order basic items. This bistro also has a bar that stays open until 10pm and it was nice to come in from dinner and get a drink to take up to the room. One thing to note - this hotel is next door to a hospital and my window overlooked the ER entrance. I was worried that I would hear sirens all night but I didn't remember any other reviews having an issue and neither did I. And if you are staying here on your way to another location, you will be glad you stayed on THIS side of Jacksonville so when you're leaving in the morning, the majority of rush hour traffic is behind you!
