1170 W Superior St, Wayland“I visit here because the competition across the street is usually too busy, haha. Good selection of snacks, domestic beer. Only a small selection of milk. I wished the vacuum worked well outside by the car wash- there isn't another place in Wayland to clean your vehicle out.”
“Fill 'er Up and Prepare to Be Amused: A Review of "Bubba's Gas & Grub"Ah, gas stations. Those essential pit stops on the highway of life, where we refuel our chariots and possibly our snack cravings. But let's be honest, most gas stations are about as exciting as watching paint dry. Enter Bubba's Gas & Grub, a roadside oasis that defies all expectations.First Impressions: Pulling into Bubba's is like entering a redneck comedy routine. The pumps are adorned with duct tape repairs and faded "Vote for Bubba" stickers. A giant inflatable dinosaur wearing a cowboy hat guards the entrance, while a rusty sign proclaims "Bubba's: Where the coffee is hot and the food ain't fancy, but it'll stick to your ribs."Pumping Up the Laughs: While filling my tank, I was treated to a symphony of honky-tonk music blaring from the speakers and the occasional squawk from the aforementioned inflatable dinosaur (apparently, it suffers from chronic indigestion). Inside, the store was a treasure trove of kitsch. Think porcelain Elvis figurines, taxidermied squirrels wearing tutus, and enough beef jerky to fuel a small army.Fuel for the Soul (and Stomach): Now, let's talk about the grub. Bubba's doesn't mess around. Their menu is a carnivore's dream, featuring gut-busting burgers piled high with greasy goodness, chili that could melt steel beams, and fried everything you could imagine. I opted for the "Bubba's Belly Buster" burger, a monstrosity of meat, cheese, and fried onions that could easily feed a family of four.Service with a Smile (and Maybe a Shotgun): Bubba himself, a burly man with a handlebar mustache and a twinkle in his eye, manned the register. He greeted me with a hearty "How y'all doin'?" and proceeded to regale me with tales of his hunting exploits while he rang up my purchase. I left feeling like I'd just made a new friend – or at least a really entertaining acquaintance.The Verdict: Bubba's Gas & Grub is not your average gas station. It's a roadside attraction, a comedy club, and a culinary adventure all rolled into one. It's not fancy, it's not for the faint of heart, but it's guaranteed to leave you with a smile (and possibly a stomachache). So next time you're cruising down the highway, skip the predictable chains and pull into Bubba's. You won't regret it.Rating: 5 out of 5 gas pumps (with bonus points for the inflatable dinosaur)”
