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 💞!“

“Good food. Good service also.“

“great food and great people“

“We have always had great service, but, today the service was absolutely horrible!! Our server, was absent, almost the whole time we dined! I am extremely allergic to mushrooms. I asked for grilled onions only with my pork chops. What did I get grilled onions with mushrooms then it took forever to get my plate corrected! We will not return!!! So, I do not recommend this place!“

“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“

“Awesome lunch! Food is amazing and reasonably priced! The staff is over the top friendly. I haven’t been in years and it’s as great today as it was then!“

“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!!!“

“Not sure why we always end up here and we have never had a problem like some of the other people complain. Sure sometimes we have to wait but its never the excruciatingly long 10 minutes like other people complain. The service is always friendly and the food is good. In a pinch after a long day its a good place to grab a bite to eat. When they mess up an order the manager is always willing to make it right and that is enough for us to keep going back.“

“Todo! - Recomiendo TODO. La comida exquisita, La atención excelente, el local LIMPIO y agradable. Precios buenísimos para los super platos! Muy contenta con TODO. Mil gracias!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“From the second this location open till now, I have never had any issues with incorrect food or service, but the atmosphere is a different story. As I’m writing this I just watched a group of what I could only assume middle schoolers do nothing but cause issues with their electric bikes and scooter sitting in the middle of the road and parking spots not paying any attention or have any care for vehicle traffic, drop trash in their parking lot turning this location into a soon to be dump. It’s only a matter of time before one of these kids get hit and or ran over because either aren’t paying attention. For the store it’s self I hope something is done about this and as for parents, get better control of your kids.“

“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.“

“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! ❤️🏡“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“My husband and I are regulars at the Citrus Park location and are never disappointed! Tasha in To-Go is phenomenal! Always smiling always professional, and always looking out for her customers. Tonight, she thought I made an error while ordering, because she knows me so well, that she actually called me to make sure my order was correct. I was blown away by how sweet of a gesture this was. I've never received that level of customer service before! 5 Stars! Thank you Tasha!“

“Always a treat to come here! The food is great, the coffee is good, and the restaurant itself is clean and always busy. The staff are friendly and always popping in to make sure you don't go with an empty cup. I really enjoy their specials. Always something new.“

“Clean environment, friendly staff, great food.“

“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.“

“Excellent Food, friendly staff and great Atmosphere!🙌“

“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!“

“Joyful environment, great service, and the best part… the brick oven pizza!!“

“I had the pork tenderloin meal. I asked for extra pickle and onion and ketchup. My only complaint is they are very stingy with their condiments. I got 2 pickle slices, 2 small onion pieces, and a dollop of ketchup no bigger than a nickel. I did not point this out as I was seated at the table and engrossed in something when delivered. I didn’t want to carry everything back to the counter. I will be more detailed next time I order from them.“

“Everytime I come to Millers I’ve sat with bartender Ahmina and she rocks it. I came for the knicks game and sat outside. Our bartender always had our drinks filled up and checked on us even though her bar was packed out. She was working harder than some of the players on the court. Good place to watch the game. Excellent service served with a smile :)“

“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?“

“This is an awesome place went here for my 21st birthday and I really enjoyed it!!!“

“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!“

“Its definitely the Cadillac of fast-food. The atmosphere is exceptional, very clean, and plenty of room. The service is phenomenal and top notch. The food was served fresh and very quickly. Their ice cream mixers are to die for. Flavor of the day is the way. I highly recommend Culvers. A great, fast, fresh, friendly , exceptional place to eat with family. Definitely a good place for a late night treat with their ice-cream.“

“Wow the new owners have improved on what was already a good spot. Food was quick, reasonable and tasty! If you haven’t been in a while check it out! Glad we did!“

“Breakfast, lunch or dinner it's the best.“

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

“highly recommend, very good eats“

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. We had the absolute pleasure of having Michael's Grill cater our wedding, and they truly exceeded every expectation. Located in the heart of Carrollwood next to Tampa Wine Room, where we held our reception, they were the perfect fit for our celebration. Joe and his team did an exceptional job from start to finish. The food was outstanding, beautifully prepared, and served with such care. Our guests could not stop talking about it and kept going back for more. Several people told us they plan to come back and dine there, which says everything. We are so grateful for the incredible service and delicious food that helped make our wedding day so special. Highly recommend for both dining and catering your next event.“

“Great food great to watch your favorite sporting event“
