    Plenty of covered benches with concrete tables to have a roadside picnic at. Each unit has it's own grill.

    Very nice rest stop alongside the road. The restrooms are heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. They're much cleaner than one would expect - better than any gas station. The grounds are well-maintained and cleanly landscaped. There are approximately ten covered concrete table areas to rest and picnic beside the road. Each one has a grill.

    Recently stopped here along the way to San Antonio. This place was awesome and worth checking out!…read moreI love the detail and history that goes into this rest stop and so far every rest stop along interstate 10. Tons of parking spaces for cars and trucks with clean restrooms and great amenities. Great place to check out in the summer to escape the scorching sun.

    Rest stops!?!? Hell no. I always thought they were dirty, run down and always non air…read moreconditioned bathrooms. Not the case at all. So my father being as old as he is has to stop every 60 miles to go to the bathroom, damn all that medicine he takes. Any ways....i decided to stop and stretch a bit while he ran in. Right when you get into parking lot it's free and clear of any trash. The bathrooms are located inside the rest stop building that has a small museum in it with snacks and drinks. There is even a kids play area right outside that is pretty solid. New and shaded area for a quick pic nic and a few nice trees with park benches underneath them. Now if you have the four legged family pet there is also a dog walking trail. I don't of course so I didn't check it out. I'm really impressed. It felt like I was in a huge park ready to enjoy some perfect scenery. If you ever need to stop and stretch this is a location I would suggest. It's definitely not like the scene in the movie "There's Something about Mary" with Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz. If you haven't seen this movie before sure to YT that scene. You will get the joke. Cheers All...

    Texas is a humongous state, that's for sure!…read more This seems like an odd listing ... it would be more appropriate to be titled "City of Seguin" rather than the State of Texas. Never-the-less, it is listed here. In 2 months time, I have been through the entire state of Texas, traveling on I-10 three times. The first 2 times, I only drove for like an hour and was practically run off the side of the road by a Semi-Truck. He turned his blinker on and came right on over. I was so scared, my husband took over right after I pulled off at an exit. The third time, I had no choice but to be brave and take my chances. Yet again, there were 2 truckers that had me really scared. They pull over whenever they feel like it. It is insane! I can't say they were Texans, because these trucks are from anywhere! I've been through & stayed in Seguin a few times, just off the Interstate. If you are Eastbound on I-10 from Houston to Beaumont, there is a rest area called James Taylor White Safety Rest Area. It is just about halfway between the two cities. This place is a very modern and clean place to stop & take a look. It also has a neat fenced in playground for the little ones to use up some energy. There are also paths for walks. Texas has the San Antonio Riverwalk, The Alamo, Amusement Parks, NASA Space Center, Zoos, Caverns, beaches, and a whole bunch more attractions! Be sure to stop in at the Welcome Centers and pick up brochures, or look online, or even go to a Travel Agency of some sort to help you find things to do while in Texas. The possibilities are endless!

    Sunday, 5-31-2026: I had seen & heard about this place from family and on TV. This place is huge!…read more They should at least have a couple of Buc-ee's in every state. What a crazy, unexpected concept! They have everything here. It was definitely sensory overload for me. It was crowded with locals & tourists. It's very organized and clean. The restroom was impressively clean. We mostly bought snacks. Love the warm candied nuts like pecans. We left without exploring the entire store due to the crowded conditions. We were checked out quickly by a friendly cashier. Definitely will return.

    As much as I love Buc-ee's, I had a really disappointing experience today…read more I usually buy bakery items, snacks, and fuel, but this time my child grabbed a chicken and fries basket with ranch and ketchup. Since I was already carrying several things, I set the ranch cups and ketchup packets on top of my closed purse while heading to checkout. At the register, I handed over the food basket, ranch cups, pastries, nuts, and everything else. We spent about $75 on snacks and another $60 on fuel. Then the cashier asked, "Ma'am, are you trying to steal ketchup?" I was completely caught off guard. I have never stolen anything in my life and honestly didn't even know ketchup packets were something that had to be paid for. When she asked how many I had, I told her 3 or 4, and I immediately paid for them. There was never any argument or hesitation. It was simply an honest mistake. What made the situation upsetting was how embarrassing it felt to be accused in front of other customers. Maybe there was a sign posted near the hot food section, but I didn't pick up the food myself and never saw it. I just wish there had been a little more understanding, especially considering we had already spent well over $100 in the store. A simple explanation that the sauces were an extra charge would have gone a lot further than making me feel like I was trying to steal. I still love Buc-ee's, but I left feeling embarrassed and disappointed.

    This may be the last Buc-ee's we visit as our road trip is nearing its end. It's supposed to be…read morethe largest one but one of the other ones we visited seemed the same size for both the pumps and store. This time instead of exploring their packaged snack products I thought about how much room we have left in our car and flying it home so I decided against it. I did buy 3 of their small cup size Blue Bell dark chocolate ice cream- for all of us but the cashier gave only one spoon. It tasted so good I had hubs go get me a large size one since I didn't eat a normal lunch and it was past 5 pm. While I waited in the car with the grandpup. I wanted to find some Bucee items for Doc since she's been our road trip driver plus made all the arrangements for hotels, tickets to parks, dinner show, etc. We all got different things: hubs got small bags of jerky, Doc got her favorite brisket sandwich to share with her Frenchie, a sausage on a stick and 3 peach cobblers for each of us to try. I like the large amount of clean restroom stalls plus soap. The cone of warmed sugary pecans and cinnamon bites were a sweet snack- finally gone from the first Buc-ee's a week ago. Before leaving Doc had us take a selfie and a nice gentleman also took a couple for us too.

    Buccee's is great for gas and EV charging. It's even great for souvenirs and other things you may…read moreneed on the road. Possibly an unpopular opinion, but... my last visit here was less than satisfactory. We grabbed lunch on our way to Houston. Our lunch consisted of brisket sandwich, chicken tenders & fries, and the three meat sandwich. I'm pretty sure their meat is not a true cut of brisket. Its consistency is like mush, and not like muscle fibers. There was nothing lean brisket vs fatty brisket. The brisket had holes throughout, making it look even more like an ultra processed deli meat or even lab grown. I was disgusted, to say the least. They also have ZERO options for people conscious of the ingredient lists. We bought popcorn and the bag was open at the bottom. I opted the top and it was super stale. I realized it was open on the bottom and the store game me a hard time about exchanging it. It's pretty clear the sealing process failed for this bag. We won't be shopping here anymore, nor will we eat their food. But if you're visiting Texas and come across one, it's a fun stop to pass time.
