50 Best American Restaurants near Odessa

“Friendly and fresh. Custard afterwards or take a cup to go. Butter burgers 🍔 crinkle 🍟 & a root beer, c’mon man; this is good stuff.“

“The food at GPeppers "G-Peps" tops all coming from a scratch kitchen for sandwiches, soups, salads, and their amazing appetizers! There is a reason that this establishment has been around for 20 years! My husband and I have been going to G-Peps since we moved to Odessa in 2022. The staff is always been friendly and they became to realize that we were regulars, however, ever since some of the original staff left, it it has been different. We were always used to the girls running around, making sure that everyone was serviced and had what they needed. I can't even tell you how many times I ever walked in there before the original staff left and there wasn't my glass of wine or my husband's beer and my son's chocolate milk already there within five minutes of walking in the door. I don't just speak for our family, but many of the families in our neighborhood truly miss Sarah, Bailey, and Ashley. They will always hold a special place in our 💞!“

“Delicious little place to stop for lunch. I have driven by this place numerous times and finally got to stop in. I ordered a small cuban with no cheese and fries. The cuban bread was fresh and had a great flavor on the outside of the bread where it was pressed. It was the perfect amount of meat, pickles and condiments. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich. The fries, they are SOOO good too! Hot, crispy and salty! I'm so glad I decided to go with the small sandwich with the side of fries because they were a perfect match! Will definitely be back again hopefully very soon.“

“Always perfect in food and service“

Kyler was super awesome she explained and treated us so well that this might become one of our new favorite places. On top of it all the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Thanks again Kyler for making our experience wonderful. Overall 10 out of 10!!!!!!!“

“I want to give a special thanks to Moe and Muhammad for catering our lunch today here at Advent Health Tampa, we appreciate it dearly; everything was delicious and very well presented.“

“Mandy is simply amazing- we’ve known her forever- great service!“

“Exelente lugar la mejor hamburguesa que he probado riquísima y la atención de 10 recomendado 100%“

“Even though Ellies has great food, great servers and othe help except Pam who was a different story the first time she was our server. She was pretty miserable and I noticed the busers were doing pretty much all of her work. She just took our order. Busers brought menus, silverware, drinks and even did our refills. One of the other servers on the floor brought us our food. We chalked it up to she was having a bad day and even though I wanted to tip the busers, we did tip Pam! Today we got her again and from what we could tell, nothing had changed! Our opinion, if you don't enjoy working with the public, hit the road before you start causing Ellies to lose customers. We will try again, but if we see her coming to us, we will ask for a different server. No one deserves to be treated rudely!!!! We are out because we enjoy good people and positivity as well as a great home diner!!!!.“

“Brittani was an excellent server! She brought our hot food quickly and refilled my iced tea! We really enjoyed our meal. It was delicious! Just love the specials! We will be back!“

“Great place for food and entertainment. Food is excellent, I recommend meatloaf or brisket dinners. Chicken quesadilla is the best in town. Smoke friendly venue. A++++“

“A+++ service the best excellent service“

“The best, do you’re self a flavor! Eat here!!!“

“Every time I have dinner at Sacred Pepper, I try something new and never have I been disappointed. This time I tried the Pistachio Crusted Fried Brie with cranberry chutney, balsamic reduction and d toasted parmesan crostini and it was amazingly delicious and also a shareable plate. For dinner I had the Oak Grilled Norwegian Salmon with heirloom tomato salad, white wine butter sauce, and house-made orzo pasta with a side of the Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Applewood bacon and a balsamic glaze. It was all excellent and very flavorful just as everything else has been in my 4 visits here. It's hard to even pick a favorite! Besides the great selection of shareable plates, entrees, sides, and drinks, the decor and ambience are stunning. Then add to that, my server Adam was exceptional, and he was very attentive, polite, respectful, courteous, patient, and he genuinely made me feel so welcomed and valued. He has made so many wonderful recommendations to me over my visits and has even gotten me to try many new things that have all been excellent.“

“The first time we were here, Steven was our waiter. We could tell he was reletively new so of course being an ex-wait staff myself, we were extremely nice for him. To our surprise he was phenomenal. We have been back four times now & each time we had to sit with Steven. The food is Great here and I recommend coming here often. BTWs, All the wait staff is so friendly & the food has always been wonderful!! I would try the ChickenGyro“

“Well, then I spent a bit to this location. Is that it's right outside of our neighborhood? LOL the people there do seem to be nice and food is always hot and the service is really good! Super pleasant people.

Parking: They had a good size parking lot. And in addition, it is in another Publix shopping center, so there's additional parking around if you need it, but I doubt you would.

Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and I can settle them to be kid friendly in their behavior to kids ?“

“It was my first time going into a Ruby Tuesday's and I had a wonderful experience. My server Kissandra was absolutely amazing, attentive, and so kind. The food was some of the best food I've had and the great service just topped it off!“

“We went to Clear Sky (Palm Harbor) on Dec 25th, for dinner. It was our 1st time. The restaurant is really nice. The hostess was very personable and sat us right away (we had a reservation). Our server was Brie and she was really friendly and welcoming. The menu had so many delicious sounding offerings, it was hard to choose! I decided on the brisket and my husband ordered the Salmon Oscar. Both were excellent! The brisket was very tender and flavorful, the garlic mashed potatoes were real and homemade and the portion was generous. My husband loved the salmon. The fish was cooked perfectly and it was a generous size, larger than many other restaurants. It came with jasmine rice, broccoli and asparagus. He did say the asparagus was "stocky" but the broccoli was perfect. Brie was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time we were there, without being intrusive. A very friendly man named Shaun came over to ask how everything was and we definitely sang the praises the whole experience deserved! He chatted with us for a few minutes and told us about all the locations and that they serve breakfast 7 days a week, which were planning on trying this weekend. So, on a scale of 1-10, we give Clear Sky Club Haus a 10! The food quality, portion size, varied menu and service, all excellent and the prices are good too. A lot of other restaurants in the same price range, fall short as far as the food quality and portions. We've definitely added it to our "favorites" list.“

“Great food, servers are top notch, prices are very reasonable. New specials every time we go in. Highly recommended and appreciated“

“This Culver's is always pretty consistent, the burgers are always pretty mid but the chicken is really good and the ice cream is always great. Although it is a little bit more pricey than like McDonald's or Wendy's, the quality and service is significantly better.“

“We love everything about Sip85. Fantastic food, wine, people and ambiance!“

“Incredible wings, Danielle, our server was friendly, quick, efficient. Will request her as a server next time.“

“We visited KeKe's Sanford location for the first time yesterday, Dec.,7th, 2024. Everything we ordered was over the top delicious. The portion size, especially the pancakes, you just can't eat it all! The coffee was hot and delicious! Kimberly knows her cafe! She made suggestions and took such good care of us. Highly recommend KeKe's for breakfast!“

“My brother just brought me some food from this joint and I can't believe everyone just let me live my life never having eaten here. Fish sandwich was amazing, and the Rueben was great too. Now I know where to find delicious and CRISPY onion rings. 10/10 would recommend for a fast and yummy lunch!“

“Today I was eating at Chilis and I loved the experience: the delicious food 👏 applause to the Chef and even more impressed with the waitress Alex, that's what I think her name is. She is an exceptional girl
For me she has been the best waitress I have ever met. I'm Jose“

“We wanted to try axe throwing on my birthday and just happened to have dinner at black rock and found this place in the same plaza. We had a great time and Daniel helped us through the axe throwing experience. He was super helpful and patient with us when we didn’t have a clue what we were doing. We definitely want to come back with some friends.“

“Local spot for breakfast and it had some high reviews. I can see why. The food was delicious but the atmosphere and friendliness of staff is what stood out to me. My server Haley was super friendly and the manager Sarah was a pleasure as well. Will definitely be back throughout the season.“

“The food was great at this location. The service wasn’t as friendly as other locations and they had restrictions on the kids ice cream the other locations do not have…bad move.

Kid-friendliness: Culver’s is geared towards kids, my sons love it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel accessible“

“Excellent lunch, service fromRaven, atmosphere! Started with tasty mozzarella sticks. Loved the fried green tomato BLT on toasted sourdough bread. Husband loved the grouper sandwich and fries. Other 2 meals were reportedly Excellent: tacos and chicken wrap. Didn't think to take pictures when first served, so forgive the partly eaten food, especially the awesome carrot cake we asked for warmed up.“

It was our first time at the races, and his gracious explanations made the experience even more enjoyable. Fun times and unforgettable memories – highly recommend!“

“I loved this restaurant it was the best one I been to yet, on the 24 th I had server tanya, we have the boubon chicken, with an appetizer and just a beer, and her customer service was the best I have seen yet. She made sure we always had what we needed, and always had the biggest smile. I definitely recommend this restaurant, especially if Tanya is working that day?“

“A wonderful experience with the BEST soup!“

“Great food for your buck“

“Excellent service. Our waitress was very pleasant and never forgot us. The food was on point.“

“This was our first dining experience here at Black Rock. They did not disappoint whatsoever. From the time that we entered until we finished our meals, we were treated with excellent customer service. The Host - Tori, was very pleasant. Once seated, my wife and I received the most outstanding customer service (waitress, Hannah) that we’ve ever received when dining in quite a while. Not sure of the bartenders name, nonetheless, the drinks were very good also. The food was definitely worth the wait. The food was extremely well prepared. Hannah, thoroughly explained how to cook the steaks on the stone, then allowed us to enjoy our meal. (Thank you Chefs) Due to our outstanding experience, we will definitely be returning. As I mentioned to one of the managers there, it seems as though people will find something to complain about, but rarely take time out to say “Thank you.” I wanted to thank the entire staff for a great dining experience.“

“It was my first time there. Very good first experience. Good service, good food, and kind people. Recommended“

“I can't say enough about how much I love this place! From the food to the service and personal attention..it's all really wonderful! 😍“
