The story
Buc-ee’s in Terrell is a Texas institution and a reliable rest stop, earning a solid 4.4-star rating. As food creator Michael Ligier notes in his review of the best Texas BBQ restaurants, the barbecue here is decent, though “not the best of the trip.” That said, for a convenience store, the brisket and sides are a welcome surprise for travelers rolling off I-20.
Open 24 hours with takeout and a tourist-friendly vibe, this Buc-ee’s leans into its role as a pit stop rather than a destination barbecue joint. Ligier’s appraisal sums it up: it’s a convenient, satisfying option when you need gas and a pulled-pork sandwich, but don’t expect to crown it the state’s top ’cue. For a quick fix, it fits the bill.
