"We stumbled upon this restaurant by accident while driving from Houston to Corpus Christi. My husband ordered a Hinze burger, which was unfortunately disappointing. The Bar B Q sauce had soaked into the bun, the meat was overcooked, and the onions were undercooked. I saved the burger by sharing some of my delicious meatloaf to put on it. For my lunch special, I had meatloaf with fried okra and blackeyed peas with ham bits. It tasted like it was made in someone's grandmother's kitchen - fresh and delicious. The meal came with a piece of homemade bread with real butter, which was a nice touch. The meatloaf was perfect, with just the right amount of onion and bell pepper. It was a thick, generous slice that could have been split and served with extra sides. The meatloaf held together well and had a tasty sauce on top, possibly bar b q. We also took a piece of pecan brittle to go, which was perfect - buttery, with a satisfying crunch. The service was self-serve, with food brought out to the table and drinks and refills obtained by the customers. We would definitely stop by again if we are in the area."

"On March 18, I visited a Buc-ee's location and noted that gas prices for regular unleaded were $3.77 per gallon. There’s plenty of parking available, and customers are generally considerate, filling up their tanks and parking afterwards. I indulged in some delicious brisket, flavorful beef jerky (both spicy and mild), and sausage on a stick wrapped in a tortilla. I ended up spending more inside the store than at the pump — $67 compared to $56. I highly recommend this stop; it was a great place to refuel on our trip to and from Port Aransas from Houston. The gas station is quite busy, so be prepared for that. This Buc-ee's definitely deserves another five stars! The pulled pork sandwiches and tortilla-wrapped sausages were fantastic, and the soda mixes had just the right balance of carbonation and flavor. The location was kept very clean, especially the bathrooms, and gas prices were reasonable. I’m already looking forward to stopping by this Buc-ee's again on our road trip back to Houston from Port Aransas! On March 19, I returned home, and the experience was just as stellar: clean bathrooms, refreshing Icees, and great soda!"

"This lady was super disrespectful, My daughter had a hard black thing come out of her hash brown, I told the lady at the counter and she said oh my I’m sorry let me get you 2 new ones because mine was also like that. 10 minutes goes by and this lady brings me two and says have you ever peeled a potato before? It’s normal. Umm excuse me. She threw the tray down and walked off complaining about free food. I didn’t ask for it to be replaced my daughter didn’t even want to eat anymore because of it Was an older lady wearing a purple shirt . Idk if she’s some kind of manager but she’s super rude. I’ve been sitting here while my children are playing and she’s done been rude to every customer she’s delt with Service: Dine in Food: 1 Service: 1"

"I placed an online order for some tacos, a burger and some curly fries. I ordered six tacos (three orders) and when I got home, we noticed there were only five tacos in the bag. I live about 10 minutes outside of town, so I called the restaurant to speak with someone just to let them know I was driving back to get my taco. No answer, the line was busy...I called back five more times but nothing. I get to the restaurant and found the manager outside smoking with another gentleman, not sure who he was. The cashier who originally gave me my order the first time opened the window and I explained what happened. She asked me if I wanted the taco or a refund. I pretty much lost my appetite by this point, so I said I will just get my money back. Not once did I demand a refund for the whole meal which was $14.00 and change, just the one taco. She was nice at first and told me to pull around to the front. All of a sudden, her professional manager came busting through the front doors saying that she needs the food and credit card I used in order to process a refund. I told her I left the food at home for my family to eat but just wanted a refund for the one taco since I purchased six and only got five. The man I saw her smoking with then joined her at my car window and said there would be no refund for the order and I said, Sir, I am not requesting a refund for the entire meal, just the one taco! He said because I did not bring the food back there was nothing he could do. Meanwhile, the manager is yelling that she personally verified the order and checked it twice, etc. I told both of them why in the world would I drive all the way back to town for one taco??? BECAUSE I PAID FOR SIX AND RECEIVED FIVE, that 's why!!! By this time, the manager stormed back into the restaurant and the original cashier came outside to get in on the bullying game. I asked her in front of the man to clarify that I only wanted my money back for the taco, when all of a sudden she turned on me saying that I did request a refund and they have me on camera requesting a refund. I say pull the camera footage and no where will you hear me asking them to comp my meal. This is a prime example of terrible management, terrible coaching and some bizarre game to be right over one little taco. Sad."
