Didn't stop this time for the food, but heard it was great. It was more for the Texas chainsaw stuff that used to be here. Unfortunately, it's no longer the case, but it still has a lot of really unique items inside the store. I don't know how else to put it, it's worth the trip

⭐️ Legendary Horror-Film Roadstop – A Foggy Visit to “The Gas Station”

I made a special stop at The Gas Station while driving through central Texas, and if you’re a fan of classic horror movies, this place instantly rings a bell. This is one of the real filming locations from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and pulling into the lot on a gray, foggy, rainy afternoon felt like walking straight onto the set. The weather couldn’t have been more perfectly gloomy — low visibility, wet ground, and that quiet Texas countryside atmosphere that adds a cinematic touch to everything around you.

The exterior looks exactly like you’d expect: simple, rustic, and true to the movie’s original charm. The big old BBQ sign, the handmade boards, the open field behind the building — all of it feels authentic and untouched, almost like time here moves differently. Even if you’re not a movie buff, the location itself has a unique rural vibe that makes it worth the stop.

The grounds were clean, the building was well-kept, and the property overall looks maintained with care. I didn’t get the chance to go inside the restaurant on this visit, but it actually gives me a perfect excuse to come back. I’ve heard great things about the brisket and sausage, and the staff here is known to be extremely knowledgeable about the movie history behind this place.

If you love road trips, film locations, or true Texas roadside culture — this stop is a must.
Just be prepared: the fog might make it feel a little too real. 😅🎬
