Buc-ee's Convenience Store
2800 S Interstate 35 E
Denton, TX 76210
Buc-ee's is a mega gas station and convenience store chain. At the time of writing, they have 41 locations in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida and South Carolina, with more locations planned for other states.
Buc-ee's is perhaps best known for "the world's cleanest restrooms", with attendants constantly keeping the large collection of restrooms in tip-top shape. They've also got tons of snacks, cold beverages, supplies, clothing, gift items, tchotchkes, and of course various foods including barbecue sandwiches, kolaches, sandwiches, spicy nuts, fudge in many flavors, a wall of beef jerky, and their famous Beaver Nuggets sweet puffed corn snack. Why, they've even got some stickburners and pellet grills for sale along with some accessories and supplies!
When I visited Buc-ee's for the first time in January 2020, I noticed the barbecue sandwiches but didn't try them. During my second visit to Buc-ee's in May 2022, I decided to give it a whirl. My wife and I bought three chopped brisket sandwiches and a chopped pork sandwich, along with some "freshly made" Buc-ee's potato chips (nothing special). I ate half of a brisket sandwich and half of the pork sandwich, my wife ate one of the brisket sandwiches, and the rest was saved for later. The pork sandwich was OK. The brisket sandwich at $7.99 was not cheap, but it was surprisingly OK given that it was prepared at a convenience store. The brisket came out whole onto a cutting board where a guy chopped it up coarsely, mixed in some sauce, and then it was portioned onto buns, wrapped in foil paper, and placed under a heat lamp. No signs of a smoker anywhere nearby, but I figure it's made offsite.
If you stop by Buc-ee's for gas, clean restrooms, a Mountain Dew and a Slim Jim, you might just give a chopped brisket sandwich a try!
