If you’ve ever watched a vintage horror film involving a cannibalistic chainsaw-wielding murder and thought, "That’s my ideal dining experience," Bastrop, Texas, has the spot for you. The original gas-station-turned-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.

Films Featured

• The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

  • The one and only gas station owned by Drayton Sawyer (Jim Siedow) where our van of characters stop for directions before reaching their ill-fated destination. They may be out of gas but they have plenty of BBQ on the grill!
