Notice: Delays Due to Hurricane Helene

Stuckey’s is recovering from a power outage caused by Hurricane Helene. We are working to fulfill back orders and return to our normal production and shipping schedules. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

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.

"No big story here. But I have been to so many Stucey's in my life, and they were always a place to forward to while on Old Route 66. Stuckey's is Americana."

After we moved from Texas to Calif in the early 60s we would come back to Texas every year. When Larry, my baby brother came along and got to be about 3 or 4 he recognized the Stuckeys signs pretty quick and would cry when we passed the stores. So my Mom would see the signs as we drove and call my name. That was my clue to get my brother into the floorboard until we passed the sign. Of course the closer we got the more signs there was and little brother spent a lot of time in the... Read more
After we moved from Texas to Calif in the early 60s we would come back to Texas every year. When Larry, my baby brother came along and got to be about 3 or 4 he recognized the Stuckeys signs pretty quick and would cry when we passed the stores. So my Mom would see the signs as we drove and call my name. That was my clue to get my brother into the floorboard until we passed the sign. Of course the closer we got the more signs there was and little brother spent a lot of time in the floorboard until we had passed the Stuckeys. Then he was good until the next one. But when we got to stop, it was awesome. Burger, fries and a chocolate milk shake. Later after Stuckeys started disappearing, I would still travel and occasionally run into a Stuckeys. I would always stop and by Mom some Pecan Patties and log roll. Her eyes lit up when I gave them to her. I miss my Mom and whenever I pass a Stuckeys I think of her. Thanks for the memories and hope you make a comeback so someone 40 years from now can look back on some pleasant memories.... Collapse

I remember Stuckey's as my favorite restaurant to stop at on our way to visit relatives out of state. I remember the good food, scrumptious pecan logs and fascinating souveniers and gifts. I also remember though I don't see in other comments is that there was a glassed in bee hive in the middle of the Stuckey's where honey bees could be observed. Great childhood memories.

I was only able to go to the Stuckey's in Vacaville California one time and then it was gone. I miss it terribly every time I drive by where it was. Somebody must have lost a lot of money building it for that short of time. If I was rich I'd reopen Stuckey's all over the country

The store in George, Wa. was the only place for decades where you could buy green peanuts in brine. Now the store is gone and I have to go online to find them..............tasty!

I grew up a Stuckeys brat! My parents got sent from store to store to fix them back up after bad managers and then would move on to the next store. My parents ran them in North Carolina, Missouri, Indiana, Texas, Ok, Kansas, Alabama, Georgia and Ohio. They ran them from the early 80’s until about 2008. It was hard always moving around as a kid but there was always Ice Cream and snacks at our destination! Spoiled brats we was.

In 1969 and again in 1973 -2 parents , 1 dog , and 6 kids left long island and drove across America without a/c or video games – we visited all of the 48 lower states over those 2 trips .Stuckeys was a beacon of light during those long drives. I think we stopped at everyone we passed..So many good memories of simpler times.

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 !! ❤️...
