Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Odessa, TX

Jazzy A My husband and I went here for our anniversary and it was delicious! Our server "Kacey" was awesome! The environment was nice and romantic. The food was delicious and the drinks were also. We had a great experience and we will definitely be back! :)

Matthew Wied The brisket is tender with excellent bark and good smoked flavor. Brisket pairs as well with their house made sauces or is great by itself . The ribs fall off the bone with good flavor no sauce needed. The jalapeño cheddar sausage has good spice with the right amount of cheese. The Texas Twinkie is on point. The potato salad is mediocre at best with a mustard sweet taste. The banana pudding is excellent with a generous amount of sliced bananas and Nilla wafers. If you’re in Odessa and hungry for barbecue, you should definitely try this place.

Isela Fierro The food was spectacular and service was great. The café de la olla was the best coffee Ive ever tasted. Worth the visit.

Roger Peralta I had the spring rolls and beef soup in a spicy broth. This meal hit the spot. The best part was watching the masters hand pull the noodles per order. A must-try in this area.

Frank Mendoza Just had a double Papa cheeseburger w bacon. One of the best burgers Ive had in Odessa. Juicy beef patty, ice cold lettuce and tomatoes. This is a damn good burger. The fries were smaller than I expected, which is not a big deal, but I do wish they came out hotter. Ill definitely come back to Mommas Kitchen again!

Code Racks This restaurant is, without question, the best dining experience in West Texas!

Alisha Gautreaux When we first walked in we were mesmerized by all the hand baked goodies, quickly greeted and sat, very home atmosphere very Attentive staff, 10/10 breakfast/lunch spot

Chastity Wyer ¡Muy delicioso! Great atmosphere and the food is definitely on point! Walked in last night and there was a mariachi band playing. We were seated quickly and ordered drink within 2 minutes. Our server was really sweet and made sure that we had everything we needed. The menu shows accurate pictures of what you order, and the portion sizes are very generous. Once we ordered our food, we didnt have to wait long before we received it. All of the food was hot (almost as if they took it straight from the kitchen when they finished it) and tasted AMAZING!! We will definitely be back!

Code Racks I had an incredible experience at this place! It came highly recommended by my barber, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. From the atmosphere to the service, every aspect deserves not just five, but a perfect ten stars. Its a gem worth discovering!

BENITO REYES From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a beautiful smile and cheerful personality of Hunter. Her smile was contagious and it carried on to the staff as well. Angel, our waiter, was down to earth friendly and welcoming. We had not been to a Texas Roadhouse in months and we were glad we decided to visit this one in Odessa-it did not disappoint. We had the steak/shrimp combo and the smothered chicken. Their bread and butter is ALWAYS a winner and we also had their twisted mozzarella. These meals hit the spot just right and PERFECT before we went grocery shopping to HEB. Thank you so very much for a wonderful eating experience with the good ole Texas hospitality.

Andy Hernandez This location is nice. The atmosphere is one that suits this style of Mexican restaurant. Lively, enough background conversations that you dont feel uncomfortable having your own. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. The seating is not too cramped. Its perfectly spaced out. The food. WOW! Everything and I mean everything they serve here they make in house. The tostadas, the chicharones, the blue corn tortillas on the tlacoyo plate is even made in house! They have the best menudo in Odessa as far as I am concerned. Mild spice and full of flavor. If youre craving some flavorful Mexican food thats not the same old same old, Limon con Chile will not disappoint. I frequent both locations in Odessa and Ive never had a bad experience.

Sandra Kitchens Best described as eclectic but delightful. Everything was delicious. Service is friendly and on point without being invasive. The sort of place youd come out to celebrate something for sure. Drinks are unique, fun, and delicious often with table-side service. The garlic salmon was delicious and not too much but not too little. Perfect portions. Presentation of dishes is on point. The only thing I would change is the music is a touch loud for the atmosphere but may not be as noticeable on a busy night.

Ghazal Lotfi I visited F1 Bar & Grill a couple of months ago during hockey playoff season. I came by a few times for dinner and to watch the games. The atmosphere was great and the service was friendly. The brisket sandwich was amazing, perfectly smoky and tender. For dessert I tried the banana cream pudding and the famous butter cake, both were delicious but the butter cake was my favourite. A great spot for good food and watching the games.

Myra Robison Stopped in for Linner after a day at the mall. Wanted to try a new restaurant down here as we are traveling to Midland more but like to stay in Odessa. Waitress was mostly friendly, although seemed perturbed we came in between the lunch and dinner rush! We were the only customers in the building for almost 45 mins. Food was prepared fairly fast and was delivered hot n fresh. Large portions of chicken fried steak, it was pretty good. Onion rings were lightly battered and seasoned well, their French fries were seasoned nicely too. Bacon was crunchy, pancakes soft and fluffy! Overall 5*, we would eat here again.

Vasudha Vedula I had an official meeting with my colleague here. They offer some great options vegans around Odessa. The food was delicious. I had vegetable dumplings, Homestyle fried tofu, and mixed vegetables. All of them taste really good.
