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 💞!“

“I’ve been seeing this place all over TikTok, so I had to check it out. Tried the bacon, egg & cheese sandwich for breakfast and a Greek salad for lunch—both were delicious. The service was amazing, you can tell they really care about what they put out. Definitely going back soon to try the Cuban!“

“Good food. Good service also.“

“thank you Steve and the Hooters staff for donating food to our JV boys football team here at Gaither! we appreciate you and the boys said it was so goood!! thanks again Steve for your support“

“Very impressed with CJ the new kitchen manager who comes out to check on all the patrons, amazing and refreshing! He is a very positive and welcome addition. Amber and Amy whether bartending/waiting always make us feel like home. We always laugh and enjoy our time here.“

“First time here.. Food was awesome!!! James at the counter was great, friendly, patient and helpful to a couple that had never been here before and helped explain the menu. The team also checked on us multiple times to make sure our experience went well. I'm definitely a fan of this place and will be back!!!“

“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!“

“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!!!!.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“A great Culver’s
Location. Culver’s is on the better end of fast food and this Culver’s has good food. But the most important factor for this review is the service. This is one of the nicest and most professional fast food franchises I’ve seen. So polite and attentive. I’d go here just for the service but they also have amazing cheese curds…..“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I always say if the realtor lives there it must be fantastic! Have lived in pasco county since 1979 and we have chosen to live here for the past 15 years! ❤️🏡“

“I'm sorry I'm writing so late. Reason: I wanted to try the others. Conclusion: This Culver's is by far the best in town. They haven't made a mistake on any order so far, they always have fresh produce, and they have a welcoming, friendly team that truly makes you feel like part of the family. 10 stars to the team and the store. Keep up the good work.

*next door* 😁“

“Culvers is the best fast food chain! Where else can you get a good burger with mashed potatoes or broccoli as sides. The fries were perfect and super hot. The onion rings were also quite nice. I didn't try the custards but they are famous for that. Definitely worth a try if you're not familiar with them!“

“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?“

“Had lunch with my wife and a small group of friends on a Saturday. We shared a pork osso buco which I thought was very good while my wife wasn't impressed with it. Service was good. The only thing we didn't like was the TV sound(s) were too loud which made it hard to converse with each other.“

“Great service. Our server was the sweetest. Thank you Applebee’s“

“Awesome new cafe on Linebaugh! Daily lunch specials are amazing and plentiful! Tony and his staff are welcoming and hardworking to provide the best dining and customer service experience!“

“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“

“You know in this age of the cell phone people don't seem to get very excited anymore with the exception of the horse race track, the amount of yelling and excitement from the families tells me that the horse races are still king for a night out with the family. Lots of fun!“

“Want to start off by saying the manager Ross there is unbelievable, the guy treats you with such respect and always smiling and runs a great ship, we had the double burger with cheese all the way it was phenomenal and then finish it off with a banana split that he custom makes for me every time me and my wife come there ! I highly recommend the Culver's in Town & Country on West Hillsborough Avenue 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️“
