9 Unique Gas Stations In Texas That Are Way More Than A Place To Fuel Up

Everything in Texas isn't just bigger, it's also a whole lot weirder. From tacos and live longhorns to iconic horror movies, these ten gas stations are definitely more than meets the eye. If you're looking to take your snack stop to the next level, check out the following best gas stations in Texas!

1. Fuel City (Dallas, Haltom City, and Saginaw)

Tacos with a side of... longhorns? Nothing says 'Texas' quite like chowing down on one of our most iconic foods while marveling at our unofficial mascot. Plus, the Dallas Fuel City is open 24/7 and offers karaoke, a car wash, and even a swimming pool.

2. Czech Stop (West)

Anyone who thinks a kolache is oblong-shaped and filled with meat and cheese is obviously not from Texas. We natives know the real things are square, fruity, and best purchased from this quirky roadside gas station in Texas. Try one for yourself at 104 S George Kacir Dr, West, TX, 76691.

3. Restored 1929 Route 66 Gas Station (McLean)

Opened in 1929, the very first Phillips Petroleum station in Texas has been restored to its original condition. You can't get gas here anymore, but it's still an obligatory stop along historic Route 66. You'll find this gem on the corner of Gray and 1st St, just down the road from Devil's Rope Museum.

4. Fox Fuels (Dallas)

Would you like some laundry with your gas? How about a doughnut? Oh, and don't forget the fancy chandeliers! In addition to all that, you'll also find tacos, ice cream, and a plethora of flat-screen TVs at this eclectic Texas service station. Witness the weirdness firsthand at 0110 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX, 75220.

5. Petrified Wood Gas Station (Decatur)

This Decatur gas station dates back to 1927, eight years after which it was covered in chunks of petrified wood by owner E. F. Boydston. It closed down in the late 20th century, but one of Boydston's grandchildren uses it as an office today. Stop by and take a look at 904 U.S. Hwy 287, Decatur, TX.

6. 1919 Vintage Gas Station (El Paso)

Another beautifully restored piece of architecture, this El Paso gas station was built in 1919 and renovated by Rod Davenport nearly 90 years later. Now, it's good as new and stands proudly at 2885 Grant Ave., El Paso, TX.

7. Texas Chainsaw Massacre Gas Station (Manor)

Yes, Texas Chainsaw Massacre Gas Station is the real gas station from the iconic 1974 horror movie. You can spend the night in one of four cabins or just stop by for a plate of BBQ if merely thinking about the former option makes your skin crawl. The address is 1073 SH 304

Bastrop, TX, 78602.

8. Slovacek's (West)

Just down the road from Czech Stop is Slovacek's, another gas station/bakery hybrid serving kolaches as well as sausage, beer, frozen yogurt, and tons of other bakery items. There's even a dog park out back if your four-legged friend happens to be tagging along! You'll find the store at 214 Melodie Dr, West, TX 76691.

9. Buc-ee's

Y'all didn't think we'd actually leave Buc-ee's off the list, did you? I think this legendary pit stop speaks for itself, so we'll let this fudge do the talking. You'll find the beaver all throughout Texas, but this is the Baytown location at 4080 East Fwy, Baytown, TX, 77521.
