Opened on June 26, 2023, this Buc-ee’s boasts a staggering 74,707 square feet, making it the largest Buc-ee’s in the country—until the crown returned to Texas with the new Luling location. With 120 fueling stations and a carwash, it’s a testament to the larger-than-life experience Buc-ee’s offers.
A Grand Welcome
We arrived at the Sevierville location around 3 PM, and the sight was nothing short of breathtaking. It was packed with people—like a retail store on Black Friday after the doors open. The hustle and bustle were incredible, with customers streaming in to grab snacks, shop for holiday gifts, and, of course, fuel up.
I had a great chat with Jamie, one of the cashiers, who explained that this was just an average Sunday crowd. For anyone unfamiliar with Buc-ee’s, "average" in Sevierville feels like a massive event, and the energy inside the store was electric. Jamie taught me how to say, "Sevierville" like a real native. I have heard it said so many different ways and wanted to make sure I didn't mess up the name.
Dinner and Buc-ee’s Delights
After soaking in the experience, we picked up dinner before heading to our hotel to rest from a long day of travels. Karla opted for something light but couldn’t resist her all-time favorite, the chopped brisket sandwich. She paired it with a fruit cup for a balanced and satisfying meal.
I, on the other hand, wanted to sample a bit of everything. My selections included a sliced brisket sandwich, the chicken and fries meal, a fruit cup, and some chocolate pudding. While I didn’t eat it all at once, I can confidently say that everything reheated beautifully and tasted just as delicious later.
Breakfast Before the Trip Home
Before heading back home, I made an early morning stop at Buc-ee’s to grab our breakfast and prepare for the journey. It’s become a tradition for us to revisit all the Buc-ee’s locations we explored the previous day, and this trip was no exception. I picked up coffee, a Texas Squeeze Orange Juice, and Beaver Tots to start the day off right. For Karla, I grabbed a bean, egg, and cheese burrito, while I treated myself to the hearty Beast burrito. With a small bag of ice and a full tank of fuel, we were ready to hit the road and relive the magic of each Buc-ee’s stop from our adventure.
Sevierville’s Buc-ee’s is more than just a stop along the way; it’s a destination in itself. From its impressive size to its unbeatable food offerings, it embodies everything we love about Buc-ee’s. Whether you’re passing through on a Smoky Mountains getaway or making a pilgrimage just to visit this location, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.
For Karla and me, Buc-ee’s isn’t just a pit stop; it’s a part of our journey, and Sevierville reminded us why we love it so much. If you haven’t been to this location yet, put it on your “Buc-ee’s List” and prepare to be amazed.
