The Gas Station

Details
If you’ve ever watched a vintage horror film involving a cannibalistic chainsaw-wielding murderer and thought, That’s my ideal dining experience, Bastrop, Texas, has the spot for you. The original gas-station-come-barbecue-joint featured in the cult classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is now a weekend destination, complete with four rustic cabins (with one shared bathroom), a campsite, and, of course, plenty of smoked and sauced meats.
