Texas-based Buc-ee's Rated Best Gas Station in the Country

When you're on a road trip in Texas, you always have to stop when you see one.

We're not talking about Whataburger.

We're talking about Buc-ee's!

The place with the clean bathrooms, friendly employees and a plethora of food choices has been ranked number one in the "Top Ten Gas Stations in The U.S." by GasBuddy. Gasbuddy is an app that connects millions of drivers with the perfect pit stop.

“These are destination brands that directly compete with restaurants, coffee shops, and—in some cases—even supermarkets,” Frank Beard, convenience store and retail trends analyst at GasBuddy said in a statement. “Although gas stations are still in the business of selling gas, the leading brands have become so much more. They’re a refuge for motorists looking for great food, an amazing cup of coffee, or some of the best customer service you’ll find anywhere.”

Texas-based Buc-ee's also was rated number one in every category measured by the ratings and reviews in the GasBuddy app.
