I bought one of their brisket sandwiches and the after taste in my mouth tasted like someone had dumped an ash tray in my mouth. Garbage…

You have to pay extra for the ashtray dumped on top of it. Next time tell them to hold that.

I've tried it a couple times and it was always smothered in a disgusting sauce that overpowered everything. My grandpa taught me that you only cover bbq in sauce when it's low quality bbq. Quality bbq doesn't need sauce.

Found myself in Alabama last weekend. Went to a rib place in Birmingham called Dreamland, which had great reviews. Worst damn ribs I've ever had in my life. Couldn't gnaw enough meat off the bone to get a full bite. Bucees was the best barbecue I had the entire time I was there, so in my mind, it's the best brisket in Alabama.

Gas, turkey melt, jerky, and deer corn is just about all I ever buy at the one down the road from me.

He who eats at Bucees to report about his gourmet experience probably reserves his wedding party at Denny's.

The old saying “It’ll make a turd” can be used here. It’s probably in between Rudy’s and Dickey’s which saying much. It’s a shame some people think it’s a good example of Texas Bar B Que. There are hundreds of places that make better Bar B Que than them.

View Quote Funny, I just had a similar experience. I flew out to NC for business and decided to go down to Alabama to see a friend. On the way I stopped at a supposedly good BBQ place in SC and had a platter of brisket and pork, and wasn't impressed with either. The next day I stopped at Bucees to get gas and decided to give their pork sandwich a try. It wasn't the best I have ever had but it was good, way better pork than I ate the night before. |

Most of us don't expect to find good brisket at convenience stores. The only place you consistently find good food at convenience stores is south Louisiana.

I went to a bbq place the other day, the restrooms weren't clean, no fuel pumps, and no cheap ice. The place sucked to say the least.
|
|
I don't mind the meat so much, it is just under Dickie's brisket, eatable but not what I would call "good" Texas Brisket. The worst part is actually the bun. They use some really shitty chalky buns, that is what OP is probably talking about. Seriously, the store brand buns at family dollar are better. With as much as they charge for a simple brisket sandwich, they should have epic bread.

Is it OK for gas station food? Yes. Is it the greatest ever? No chance.
We have a great BBQ joint my buddy owns. One of my friends finally went there and texted me what should he get. Told him everything is great. He got a brisket sandwich and said it was better than Buccees. I said if that's your standard, it won't take much to top it. |

The Rule is, if they don't have a smoker, they don't have BBQ.

This.
The meat is drenched in wayyyy to much sauce. Probably to hide the fact that it doesn't have a lot of flavor to begin with. |
|
I only get the sliced brisket when there and it has always been pretty good. They sell who knows how many brisket sandwiches a year, odds are there will be a few bad ones along the way.

Lots of amazing smaller places. Bob Sykes is great. Golden rule (now archies ) - but they dont do ribs. |

Their breakfast burrito is much better than the bbq sandwich.

Buccees brisket is terrible. It makes Dickies and Rudys look like tier 1 brisket. Why does Texas bbq suck?

It’s been said a few different ways here
Buccees is a gas station and these are basically premade gas station chopped beef sandwiches. Chopped beef brisket sandwiches are typically pre sauced and bucccees goes a little heavy on the sauce sometimes and the sandwiches although usually fairly fresh still soggy the bun some. So it’s a good snack on the run with obvious limitations but not even near what a Rudy’s would give you. Pretty close to a chopped beef experience at Bill Miller. Buccees - amazing because there’s Always a pump available for gas Always a clean bathroom available If you can’t find a souveneer or a decent snack, you can’t be pleased But it ain’t tier 1 bbq. |
|
So you bought food at a gas station, and it wasn't impressive.
Ok |
|
It's a gas station, what did you expect? It ain't tier 1, but I find it more than adequate when hungry.
|
|
I mean it’s gas station brisket, and while I don’t like the brisket on the sandwich, give me that egg and brisket breakfast wrap.
That brisket egg breakfast wrap slaps, no cap |
|
I loved it. Then again, we mostly do pork Q around these parts. Only complaint was sauce was a bit too sweet.
|

|
|
Should have went to Rudy's if you wanted gas station smoked meats.
ETA: Always get the club melt, ALWAYS! |

Quoted: Seriously tho, its not gourmet by any stretch but... I've never had "bad" brisket there. View Quote I was really underwhelmed by it. It's not bad as they managed not to overcook the shit out of it but the sauce and bun were beyond average. If THAT'S their flagship draw I dont get why people rave about it. The jerky was pretty good though and the beaver nuggets were fun but felt like I was eating straight diabetes. Clean bathrooms were the only thing I was really impressed with. Leave it to the South to have a dedicated fandom to a truck stop brand. |
