Woman bites into Buc-ee’s brisket sandwich and notices something odd, so she washes the meat and what she finds underneath has her horrified

A Texas woman recently bought a brisket sandwich from Buc-ee’s and found something that made her stop eating right away. Her discovery is now making other customers worry about the quality of food at the popular travel center, especially since prices keep going up.

According to Bro Bible, the customer, known as @rrositaafresita on TikTok, posted a video that got over 54,400 views. She showed what happened after she bit into her sandwich and noticed the meat looked strange. She decided to rinse off all the BBQ sauce to get a better look, and what she found was shocking.

After washing away the sauce, the brisket looked terrible. The meat came in thick, uneven pieces with lots of fat and looked disturbingly pink in the middle. She wrote in the video, “Decided to rinse the BBQ off and this is what I saw.”

Good brisket should never look like this

Anyone who knows barbecue can tell this isn’t how properly cooked brisket should look. Real brisket needs to be cooked slowly for a long time – usually about an hour to an hour and a half for each pound. This long cooking process breaks down the tough parts of the meat and gives it a dark, even color with a soft texture. The meat in the video was clearly missing this important step. Buc-ee’s might be using a different cut of beef, cooking it too fast, or using some quick method instead of traditional smoking.

This problem feels even worse when you think about how expensive fast food has become. Getting takeout used to be cheap and easy, but now it’s almost a luxury. Prices went up because of higher labor costs, problems from the pandemic, and expensive supply chains. Fast-food prices at major chains jumped between 39% and 100% from 2014 to 2024. That’s much higher than the overall inflation rate of 31% during the same time. When people pay these high prices, they expect good quality food.

Many people commented on the TikTok video saying they weren’t surprised because they’ve had similar bad experiences with Buc-ee’s hot food. “The best thing at Buccees is free , the restrooms , the rest is tourist trap garbage,” one of them wrote. Another user explained why food quality at Buc-ee’s has been so poor.

“Nothing is cooked fresh at Bucees except the fudge and rolled nuts. They also demand vendors give them the lowest price on everything then mark it up to ridiculous prices to make a huge profit off its customers,” they wrote.

Food quality issues have been popping up across social media lately, with viral food content sparking major concerns.

Even more concerning, one person shared, “I don’t like bucees brisket sandwiches. I’ve had one twice and both times they had a chemical taste.” When customers report finding raw meat and tasting chemicals while paying higher prices, there’s clearly a serious problem that needs to be fixed. This situation mirrors other shocking viral health claims on TikTok that have left people concerned about safety.
