Guestbook

Share your favorite Stuckey’s memory! Our guestbook is your opportunity to share those experiences with others.

Just about everybody has a Stuckey‘s story, recalling a time when they took road trips in the family station wagon and found “highway happiness” at one of our stores.

We would love to hear your most fond memories from yesterday or today, and we know others would love to share in your experiences as well. Please take a moment or two and post your comments in our guestbook.

I love stuckey s! My family used to stop at the same one when we would go on our road trip to see our grandmother in Georgia. I always loved to look and the neat things in the store. On my way to Charleston and will stop by your way soon.

I remember stopping at stuckeys as a kid going from Kentucky to michigan to see my grandparents. Grandma always had seven keys coconut spread in the house and we always stopped to get some more. Miss those days terribly.

"Hi Folks, I remembered Stuckeys as a kid (45 yrs ago) and my parents stopped there and bought us kids a board game for the road. Now, 50 years later, my hubby and I stopped in to their delightful little restaurant off Route 66 /I-44 in Doolittle, Missouri . I had the delicious smoked pulled pork with homemade potato chips!! Absolutely wonderful !!! Hubby had their fried pork tenderloin sandwich with the potato chips ...was delicious!!

Although they didn't have the board game, I mentioned it to a manager. Great food. Great store. Plus a WINE OUTLET ! What more could a girl ask for !!??!! Great experience!! Thanks Stuckeys !! "...

I enjoyed Stuckey's, and Horne's, on many roadtrips with my parents when I was young! And also many times on the road when I was grown! I sure do miss them! They used to be everywhere! I guess the good old days are good forever!

I remember the dog's restrooms (country dogs and city dogs). Cute idea for those traveling with pets.

When My brother and I were growing up, our parents would take us on a road trip from Washington state to Louisville Ky. We could not wait to see a Stuckey sign and my parents would always stop and we would get to pick out a souvenir. Its where I bought my first packet of sea monkeys! Im glad yo know there are still some around and I am adding that to my bucket list for next summer!

I grew up in Eastman, GA and Stuckeys was a part of our lives. From family and friends working at the plant and store to attending elementary and high school with some of the Stuckey family members. One of my favorite memories is playing summer baseball for the Stuckeys little league team. As kids we were so proud to wear that yellow hat with red letter s and the yellow baseball jersey with Stuckeys in red letters on the front. Now at 48 I am always glad to see a Stuckeys roadside store or candy display as it reminds me... Read more

I love Stuckeys. I remember traveling cross the country in the South and North as a kid. It brings back a certain Nostalgia. Visited one in Bagdad Florida going home to visit my family in New Orleans in 2014. I love and always will love Stuckeys.

We grew up with Stuckeys as we traveled across the country on our family vacations. Was a favorite stop to get snacks, refresh ourselves and get a souvenir!

"My first 'memory' of a Stuckey's is from1954 in Eastman. It was August, I'd just turned 4 and Daddy said he had a 'treat' for me. I remember my first Stuckey's log roll like it was yesterday. There was nothing else like 'em anywhere. There still isn't. As good and as unique as a Nu-Way wiener on Cotton Avenue in Macon. After seeing (and hearing) how much we enjoyed them Mama started making her own divinity, which was excellent - but there was something special about ""Stuckey's"" and we stopped there every year going and coming home.

We started traveling from our home in Warner Robins to New Smyrna Beach, FL that year and went annually from '54 until around 1963 visiting lots of places in Florida, the last year I remember us taking a trip of any type as a 'family' with everyone present. I met a really cute Eastman girl when our Rumble Jr. High 8th grade basketball team traveled to Eastman for a game, she was an Eastman cheerleader, also an 8th grader and she told me she 'helped out' at Stuckey's. I don't remember her name but she was pretty. I don't remember Stuckey's ever having any employees that young, either ... and I have no idea what she did for you there. I was very happy when your family reclaimed the chain and I'm delighted with your revival and expansion. Texas and South Carolina pecans are excellent - but Middle Georgia grows the best pecans and the best peaches in America. There's something really special about that land between the Ocmulgee River and Gum Swamp. Great good luck to you going forward! Long live Stuckey's!"... Collapse

I was a military brat in the 60s and 70s and I remember everywhere we travelled we would stop at rest areas for bologna sandwiches. I remember the car was hot, travelling in summertime for hours where you didn't see much. But the stuckeys restaurants always stood out and when we stopped I would get a pecan role. We didn't dine there because my dad was on a limited income with 5 kids but I always remember stuckeys for gas, restrooms and pecan rolls. Just recently (2016) travelling through nevada and California I saw a lot of old stucky buildings... Read more

So many years driving hundreds of miles to my grandparents' places, and so many stops at our favorite Stuckeys too! My dad used to stop there, and he hated to stop at all because he liked to drive straight through for 18 hours. He once made us all use soda bottles to pee in, but that's another story for another time (the bottles were glass back then with such a tiny opening!). He used to stop there and we'd get everyone fed for something like 15 bucks. We always picked up a Pecan Log because grandma loved them so much.... Read more

He used to stop there and we'd get everyone fed for something like 15 bucks. We always picked up a Pecan Log because grandma loved them so much. It was the first thing she would ask us when we showed up - usually in the middle of the night because we rarely stopped for anything. She would ask: "where's my Stuckey's nut log?" And it was always me who would hand it to her. I was always so sleepy. After dad went to bed and my sister and I unpacked the car, we would stay up til morning savoring Stuckey's nuts until we couldn't stay awake anymore. I miss Stuckey's very much as I rarely see them on the highway anymore. I'm so glad I found the online store so I can buy Pecan Logs in bulk. I never get tired of those Stuckey's Logs.... Collapse
