Tips from the community

Located just 30 miles southeast of Austin along Highway 71 is The Gas Station: a gas station turned barbecue joint made famous by the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Fans of the film and barbecue can spend the night in The Gas Station’s tent campsite or in one of four small green cabins behind the store.
