Prasek's Family Smokehouse - El Campo

One great benefit to visiting family in the area is the opportunity to stop at Prasek?s. Been making a point to stop here since way back when it was a much smaller store/gas station. Love the smoked meats and the great assortment of jams, jellies and relishes. If they haven?t run out, be sure to get some of their excellent kolaches.

We never drive past Prasek's without stopping. On some trips to Houston, we stop twice on our way there and on the way home. Good BBQ and fantastic meats and bakery items. My favorite is the chocolate chewy cookie and my husband's favorite is coconut cake (unfortunately only available on Thursdays and Fridays). The bathrooms are impeccably clean and private making this a better than Buccee's because the food is better!

Passing through I stop here the restroom is clean. The store is neat itself with the fish tank and the mounts. I've gotten the preseason chicken quarters the pork steak the summer sausage quail stuffed with jambalaya and boudin stuff with crawfish from the market side... It's very good quality and seasoning. A great place to stop between Houston Corpus.

I'll stick with Bucees in Wharton. Better food, more restrooms, cleaner restrooms, better service, no long lines at the cash registers. Location needs updating and better layout to handle customer flow. I understand this is a long standing community favorite. With a little attention, it could still be that and handle customers from the ever-increasing traffic flow on the highway as well.

I bought Prasek's pork and beef sausage at my small town grocery store because it was local product. Paid a little more than I would have for national brands but oh my heaven this sausage is amazing. This is my second purchase. Not greasy, wonderful flavor. I will keep paying more to buy this brand. Thank you! Keep doing what you are doing!
