Our journey to the Buc-ee's in Florence, South Carolina, marked another memorable stop in our quest to visit every Buc-ee's location. This traveler's oasis spans an impressive 53,000 square feet and boasts a staggering 120 fueling stations—more than enough to accommodate the busiest days on the road. From breakfast to dinner, every moment of our visit was packed with delightful flavors, impeccable service, and the unique Buc-ee's charm.
A Morning to Remember
We began our day with a hearty breakfast. The fresh fruit cups,including an assorted mix and a grape-only option, were the perfect healthy start. The brisket and egg breakfast taco, a true Buc-ee's classic, paired wonderfully with a steaming cup of their House Blend coffee—an absolute must, especially for early-morning drives. The coffee's rich, robust flavor kept us energized as we explored the massive store.
Lunch and Sweets Galore
For lunch, we indulged in more of Buc-ee's famous brisket and a selection of sweets from their bakery. The variety of freshly baked goods is nothing short of impressive, and each bite reminded us why Buc-ee's is so much more than just a convenience store.

Dinner and Farewell
As our visit wound down, we opted for lighter fare with salads and another round of fruit cups. Buc-ee's commitment to offering options for every taste and dietary preference never ceases to amaze us. Whether you're craving something indulgent or wholesome, Buc-ee's has you covered.
