Texas Chainsaw Massacre Gas Station

 I went to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Gas station in Bastrop Texas. They owners bought the Gas station and turned it into a pretty cool memorabilia shop and they kept up with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre BBQ inside the gas station. The BBQ portion is Calle We slaughter BBQ, which i found to be quite clever. You can see the pictures and the videos I took of it on my YouTube channel. I will link that below.  When you are passing by it is super nostalgic just seeing the silhouette of the gas station itself but then you see the outside of it and it is pretty neat and fitting. Although it is not set up exactly like the original it is still set up pretty cool. First you park in front where the gas pumps used to be. On the left side there is an old abandoned looking truck very reminiscent of the truck the Sawyers used. Old rusty red beat up truck all broken down, and behind it is a fenced off area that has the smoker and everything they use to cook the BBQ. Then to the right you see the actual store and at the very end of the store is a bunch that i thought was pretty cool. On the bench had the coolest plaques and decorations. It was a memorial for those who came before them aka those were on the movie and have passed away. Ill also post some photos of it as well. Ok ok lets go inside so i can talk about that as well. Inside was like throwing a kid in a candy store for me. There was wall to wall horror memorabilia and life sized slashers in there. Man if they could get a life size slasher of Bubba Sawyer that would be just the cherry on top. They had the old school coke machine along the wall and the old gas pumps were inside as well. However the rest of the memorabilia that you can purchase was wall to wall in there. It was legit glorious for a horror fan like myself. Man they had everything from old old school slasher flicks to new age horror. They also had their own merchandise so of course as you are leaving be sure to grab one of their awesome gas station shirts. Among the shirts there were so many different style and horror shirts to choose from. Inside glass cases and on every wall covered from top to bottom the horror was everywhere and i was living for it. Now the cool thing is at the cash register on the wall behind it there was a menu and from there you could order what you wanted to eat and drink. They had your traditional BBQ menu and drinks. Very simple and not badly priced. So once you order you can wait for it inside and take it to go or eat in your car or you can go eat around back. Of course i wanted to check out the whole thing so i went around back to the what looked like little park picnic benches under an awning and the awning was attached to a set of bathrooms for the guests who are staying in the cabins behind the food area. They also had an outhouse for those dining to use as well. We were lucky enough to o be greeted by 6 cute little black and orange cats who were super sweet but man did they stare lol. In the far right side in the back they had duel doors all bloody with a giant hook in front of them hanging from the ceiling and below the hood was a giant bucket of fake guts which screams TCM and looks like it came straight out of the film. I thought how cute we need a photo op and…that’s exactly what we did. So while we waited for our food we took a look to our left and behind the set of bathrooms they had a old beat up green van with flat tires and gutted from the inside out. Yes it was the van the kids ( i say kids but really they were young adults ) were driving right before they well you know the story. It was so cool also had a little friend who made their web home on the mirror an orb weaver spider i believe is what they are called. Super cool looking but back to the van lol. It was so crazy and totally hit my nostalgia button to the first time watching the movie and seeing this van drive. I love vans so i am partial to them. It was so cool to see and if you walk around to the very back you will see some cabins that you can rent and stay in for the night as well. I cant wait to be able to do that soon. Anyways, we went back to the seats and got our food and it was pretty tasty. I was pretty satisfied. Oh also they have a small stage set up where it looks like they may do something with it which would be pretty cool. Anyways, i enjoyed it there and can’t wait to go back and really get to see more of it and well buy more too .
