Buc-ee’s Madisonville
On paper, Buc-ee’s is a gas station ... not a place usually thought of as a can’t-miss attraction. Yet folks drive miles out of their way just to stop here and pick up sugary Beaver Nuggets, a taco or burrito from the grill, some quirky Texas-style merchandise, and maybe even a barbecue pit or deer feeder.
