LOVED this eclectic restaurant in Odessa. We were traveling from Texas home to Cali and our next stopover for the night would be Monahans, TX. Didn't really find any restaurants that sounded yummy, but I discovered this gem on Yelp in Odessa, TX. Had 4*s and sounded scrumptious! We exited the 20 and started our drive, at one point my husband said this is really far off the freeway, mind you we had already been driving for 8 hrs and I don't think he wanted to drive to much farther to eat. However we kept getting closer and he decided to go for it. Upon pulling into the parking lot, the outside isn't much to look at and I believe at one point, my hubby wasn't to sure he wanted to stay. I convinced him to go inside and check it out. The food was well worth the extra time to get to!!! Once again, glad we did. The 4 miles from the freeway was well worth the small detour. Opening the door you are greeted with lots of beautiful hand painted murals with different life sayings. It seemed like it was a different restaurant at one time and the current owners made it their own. Tables with chairs, tables with large cushioned tall back benches, high top tables with metal chairs, lots of different ceiling lighting; fans, strung light bulbs, etcetera, gorgeous large paper flowers on the walls (see bathroom pic). We stopped at the large rectangle monitors that showed nice colorful pictures of the sliders they make, because that is what they zero in on, doing one thing and doing it WELL! Many choices and all sound amazing. And on the changing monitor is a sweet pic of the owners which I believe may be husband and wife.
I chose The OG which is a hamburger style slider because I was so in the mood for a hamburger. My husband had the pulled pork sliders. We normally share but since sliders are smaller we decided not to this time. Our plate consisted of two sliders which can be mix and matched, which I totally forgot to do. Also comes with tasty fries and they top them with spicy ketchup and cilantro ranch (which we opted for on the side) and it was a nice large portion. For I believe a $4 up charge, you can get sweet potato fries. The gal who took our order asked if you had ever eaten here and of course we said "no". She then explained how the fries work and how and what can be put on them, various combinations (kind of like In n' Outs Animal fries). We just asked for the plain fries which I thoroughly enjoyed. For our two meals and two small refillable sodas, it cost $27 and some change. We took our number and sat down. While waiting for our food, we noticed many people coming in to eat or using their drive-thru so they definitely have followers. It was a bit of a wait for our food but well worth it. My slider hamburgers were really really good. The meat cooked just right and not a pre-shaped patty. It was on a brioche bun with American cheese, pickles, tomato, arugula, spinach and a red leaf lettuce with some sauce. I'm thinking about it now and can't wait to return and try another flavor. The fries were cooked to perfection, not over cooked to suck the life out of them or overly crunchy, just right being a bit soft plus nice and hot just the way I like my fries. My husband also thoroughly enjoyed his pulled pork sliders. Unfortunately I didn't try them for this review, but they were packed with meat, coleslaw, pickles and bbq sauce.
As I sat looking around, I did notice that the floors weren't swept and some things needed cleaning, but it wouldn't detour me from returning when in the area. Oh also I noticed they have Wing Wednesday (see pic). I noticed somebody having them and they looked very good smothered with sauces,
again able to chose your flavor.
If you are in the area or driving by, this should be on your list to try. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
