8 Buc-Ee's Subs And Sandwiches Customers Say Are Worth The Money

If you're on a road trip and are looking for something quick but don't want to just get the same old thing from a fast food restaurant, Buc-ee's may be the place to stop. That's because, besides being known for boasting some of the cleanest restrooms in America, one of the reasons to get excited about Buc-ee's is the wide selection of food it offers. In fact, one of the most famous snacks the convenience store chain has is its Beaver Nuggets, which are sweet, crunchy corn puffs that can be enjoyed on their own or like a cereal with milk (but be warned, once you try them that way, you may never go back).

We know what you're thinking, Beaver Nuggets don't sound like a meal. But don't worry, the travel center has numerous subs and sandwiches to choose from that are a little more filling and easier to enjoy in the car. However, when you do make that visit, we don't want you to end up disappointed with whatever you choose to get. That's why we decided to compile a list of the subs and sandwiches that customers not only enjoyed but said are worth the money.

Anyone who has ever heard of Buc-ee's knows that one of the reasons it is so unique is that it serves barbecue. We understand some of you might be skeptical about ordering barbecue from a travel center. But part of what makes Buc-ee's barbecue taste so good is the fact that it employs Randy Pauly — a seasoned pitmaster and eight-time world champion — as its director of barbecue. One of its most popular barbecue options is its legendary brisket, which can be ordered by itself or as a sandwich with the protein sliced or chopped.

Customers are split about whether the sliced or chopped version is better. Either way, the sandwich comes highly recommended by posters on Reddit and Facebook. "The first time I ever got food at Buc-ee's, I was confused as to how I was eating brisket that good from a gas station," one reviewer on Reddit said. Redditors also compliment (and are shocked by) the portion size of the sandwich for its price. It's even been described as a favorite, divine, and delicious.

The convenience store chain does have sandwiches that don't revolve around its barbecue. One of them is its Club Melt, made with ham, turkey, bacon, cheddar cheese, spicy mayonnaise, and a tomato pesto sauce. It's previously been dubbed one of the best foods you can find under Buc-ee's heat lamps.

Eaters on Reddit thoroughly enjoy the sandwich and recommend it as their go-to and a favorite. It even made it into one Redditor's honorable mentions of the best food options from the travel center. "The Club Melt sandwich is worth trying if you haven't," a fan wrote on Reddit. "Better than the pork or brisket by far [in my opinion]." A Facebook user who tried the sandwich noted that the ham tastes great and the turkey is thinly sliced, adding that the bun is good and it has an overabundance of the spicy, creamy sauce.

Additionally, the spicy mayonnaise on the Club Melt has been highlighted as unbelievably good, taking the sandwich to the next level. One person even claimed that they would be 100 pounds heavier if Buc-ee's sold bottles of the mayonnaise.

For customers wanting to try multiple barbecue meats at Buc-ee's, the convenience store has its Three Meat Sandwich. This comes with three slices of sausage, chopped brisket, and three slices of turkey. The food item receives fairly high praise from reviewers on Reddit and Facebook.

One Reddit user claimed the sandwich is impossible to beat, noting that the various meats balance each other out. "The brisket is a little undersalted and the sausage makes up for it, but the sausage is a little too greasy and the turkey's leanness makes up for that," they explained. "Perfect sandwich." Another Redditor also complimented the sandwich's quality for the price, advising that you pair it with cheese curd chips.

In general, the sentiments towards the sandwich are extremely positive — especially when it comes to its portion size. "HOLY MOLY ... Three Meat Sandwich ... WOW ... this sandwich is NOT for the 'faint hearted' ... Perfect for growing teenage boys," a Facebook user said regarding the sandwich's size.

The next sandwich frequently mentioned as a well-liked, positively reviewed choice by eaters is one that appears to be fairly new to Buc-ee's. The Cuban Sandwich is pulled pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, and a dill pickle aioli on a ciabatta roll.

One employee on Reddit claimed that the Cuban Sandwich is the hands-down best thing the convenience store has. In fact, the food item appears to be consistently popular with Buc-ee's workers, as another also cites it as their favorite. "We fill a 9 ounce cup with pulled pork, and add 6 pieces of ham, and two slices of Swiss cheese," they wrote on Reddit. "I usually eat a lot of food, but I struggle to finish just one, so it's a good amount of food." Often listed among the best dishes the chain has to offer, another Redditor emphasizes that the Cuban Sandwich is their go-to due to its superior taste compared to the travel center's other burritos, tacos, and sandwiches.

Again, its portion size is a massive plus. One customer even claimed that the sandwich is large enough to feed three people, while another said it's the best sandwich they have ever had in their life. "I've personally had the new Cuban Sandwich at the Rockingham location a few times now, and I'm hooked," a reviewer wrote on Facebook.

If you're not a fan of brisket, turkey, or pork, then don't worry: The convenience store chain does offer another option. Its Fried Chicken Sandwich consists of a chicken fillet topped with a tangy sauce — compared by some to Raising Cane's sauce — on a fluffy bun.

"Don't overlook their fried chicken sandwich," an eater on Reddit wrote. "It's actually really good and I swear they put a whole chicken on them. Try it and you won't be disappointed." It was also highlighted as being a great deal. One customer called it the best sandwich that the travel center has — an honor with which others seem to agree en masse.

The only complaint noted by some customers is the sandwich's lack of pickles, but this is easily overlooked; as noted by an employee, pickles should be available to add for yourself at the condiment station. On top of the praise on Reddit, users on Facebook have listed the chicken sandwich as one of Buc-ee's best, describing the meat as crispy. To enhance the sandwich, some also recommend adding the chain's green salsa.

In addition to the many other flavors on offer, Buc-ee's also boasts a classic Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich. Although it might be an ordering mistake to get one while on a road trip (let's face it, pulled pork isn't exactly the cleanest food to eat on the go), you can always eat it while parked — and make sure to grab a lot of napkins. After all, the sandwich seems to be worth the effort, as it comes highly recommended by eaters on Reddit and Facebook.

Customers on Reddit claim that it's their favorite sandwich, with some going so far as to claim that it's even better (and less fatty) than the brisket. One of the things that makes the sandwich so good is the fact that it uses a mustard pork sauce instead of a standard barbecue sauce. It's received plenty of praise from customers. "If you can ever go to a Buc-ee's be sure to try their stacked pulled pork sandwich! So good," a user on Facebook wrote.

If you don't want to tackle the Three Meat Sandwich to get a taste of the convenience store chain's turkey, then you're in luck. Buc-ee's also offers a BBQ Turkey Sandwich. This comes with slices of smoked turkey topped with barbecue sauce on a sandwich bun.

Customers have heaped praise upon this go–to, sandwich, with some describing it as the best Buc-ee's has to offer. Specific highlights include the thickness of the turkey slices. "Nothing completes a road trip quite like stopping by Buc-ee's and grabbing a warm, freshly sliced smoked turkey sandwich straight off the board," a customer wrote on Facebook. "Soft bun, tender turkey, perfect sauce — 10/10 every single time!"

Over on YouTube, customers have expressed similar sentiments about the tenderness of the turkey and the flavor of the sauce. On top of that, a TikToker was pleasantly surprised when he tried the sandwich, adding that he would definitely order it again.

If you're craving breakfast when visiting the convenience store, then you will be pleased to hear that Buc-ee's also offers breakfast biscuit sandwiches. One of the options that receives a fair amount of praise from eaters is its Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit. However, you are only able to order this from the travel center between 4 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., so be sure to visit during that time period if you want to give it a try.

"Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit should be on the Mt Rushmore of gas station breakfast," one poster asserted on Reddit. Meanwhile, other fans have claimed that the biscuit is even better than Hardee's. There are also reviewers who have labeled the breakfast biscuit as underrated, emphasizing that it's a steal for its price and size. To take it to the next level, some suggest adding the chain's green salsa.

Fans have highlighted the fluffiness but also crispiness of the biscuit, plus the flavor of the peppered sausage. And once again, it's been praised for its portion size. So, if you're looking for a heartier breakfast but don't want to pay an arm and a leg, the biscuit might be the choice for you.

In order to determine which subs and sandwiches are worth the money, we started by researching which ones Buc-ee's actually offers to visitors. This was to ensure that we did not include any that were discontinued or no longer available on our list.

We then began searching through reviews on Facebook, Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube, making note of the ones that were consistently enjoyed and widely praised by customers. Beyond being liked by eaters, we made sure the subs and sandwiches were recognized as fairly priced and a good size, so they are truly worth the money you're spending. On top of that, we noted any ways people recommended enhancing the different food items.
