"Buc-ee's is undoubtedly as much a tourist destination as it is a roadside gas station and convenience store. Not only does the chain have a legendary line of incredible snacks, but the massive store has prepared foods that rival many restaurants. Some of the most popular brisket in Texas comes from Buc-ee's, not to mention other barbecue favorites like sausage and pulled pork sandwiches. That said, we have compiled a list of Buc-ee's foods that you should avoid completely and salads are on it."
"The croutons come in a separate bag to preserve their crunch, which we appreciated. The dressing was also rich, creamy, and flavorful. But the chicken was dry, bland, and hard to choke down even when we smothered it in a tasty dressing. The worst offense of all, however, was the wilted, soggy lettuce. A salad is only as good as its leafy green foundation, which means this Caesar salad wasn't good at all."
Buc-ee's offers expansive snack and prepared-food selections, including popular Texas brisket, sausage, and pulled pork. Salad options include Southwest, Garden, Cobb, Chef, Greek, and Chicken Caesar, and portions are large. The Chicken Caesar contains grilled chicken, croutons in a separate bag, lettuce, and Caesar dressing; the dressing is rich and flavorful, but the chicken can be dry and bland and the lettuce wilted and soggy, undermining the salad. Alternative lower-calorie choices include crudité packs with ranch, fresh fruit cups, hard-boiled eggs, cubed cheese cups, and a keto kit with cheese, crudité, grilled chicken bites, and a boiled egg.
