Rain or Shine, Leeds Always Delivers

Date of Visit: May 17, 2025 | Location: Buc-ee’s – Leeds, AL

Our sixth visit to the Buc-ee’s in Leeds, Alabama, might have come with a downpour, but nothing could dampen our Buc-ee’s spirit. Even in the middle of a spring storm, this location continues to be one of our favorite stops.

We started our morning with a brisket taco topped with salsa verde, a generous helping of Beaver tots, a Texas Squeeze orange juice, and, of course, the always-reliable House Blend Buc-ee’s coffee. Breakfast in Buc-ee’s is a ritual for us — and it's never boring.

Later in the day, we shared some fresh-cut watermelon — a simple but refreshing lunch that really hit the spot. The fruit selection at Leeds never disappoints! For dinner, we split a hearty 3 Meat BBQ sandwich, and rounded it out with a loaded baked potato salad and banana pudding. Karla opted for one of her personal favorites: the chicken salad croissant sandwich, light, creamy, and perfectly satisfying.

We also had a chance to try some new items and were blown away. The Cheddar Sour Cream Wavy Chips are dangerously good, and the Spicy Pickled Brussels Sprouts have a kick we didn’t expect but absolutely loved. For dessert, the Cookie Bites were crunchy, sweet perfection.

As always, the heart of the visit was the people.

• Monica, our breakfast cashier, greeted us warmly as soon as we walked in.
• Windy recognized us from previous visits and lit up with joy when she saw us — it truly made our day.
• Darren was working hard to keep the floors safe from the rain, never missing a beat.
• And Michele, one of the kindest people you’ll meet, gave us a big hug when she saw us again. That kind of warmth is what makes Buc-ee’s more than just a stop — it’s a home on the road.

We're already planning our next Leeds visit in June, and we can’t wait to see familiar faces and try more Buc-ee’s favorites. Rain or shine, this location always leaves us smiling.
