Hamburgers reportedly originated in Texas, although many other states dispute the claim. No matter what you believe, you can’t argue with the skills of Texas hamburger makers. Their buns are legendary, deliciously fresh, and jampacked with all the fixings you’re craving. If you love this fast-food staple, head to one of Odessa’s best burger joints.
Whitehouse Meat Market: 200 E. 52nd St.
The signs on the wall proudly state Whitehouse Meat Market serves the best cheeseburgers in Texas. It’s a bold claim, but one of the many satisfied customers stand by. This family-owned and operated business have served up its iconic burgers since 1956. The classics rule here. Hamburgers and cheeseburgers are both available with double meat if you’re really hungry. Traditional sides, such as fries, tater tots, and onion rings, are perfect partners for the burgers.
Keith’s Hamburger Station: 4324 Andrews Hwy. and 8200 E. Hwy. 191
Keith’s Hamburger Station is a fast food restaurant that does things differently. It might be a chain with two local outlets, but it doesn’t believe serving fast food means cutting corners. That’s why the cooks take time to make every burger to order from the freshest ingredients. There are few surprises with the menu. However, when the hamburgers and cheeseburgers are this popular, there’s no need to take risks. The combo deal, featuring a quarter-pound hamburger, large fries, and a 20-ounce soda, is a great value.
Twin Peaks Restaurant: 5001 E. 42nd St.
Twin Peaks Restaurant isn’t exclusively a burger joint. However, its commitment to serving up quality buns helped it earn its place. You’ll find a classic hamburger here alongside more inventive burgers that will entice your palate. The Billionaire’s Bacon Burger is an elevated bacon burger with sriracha pimento cheese and bacon beer mustard. Smoky pulled pork, smoked mozzarella, and sweet barbecue sauce makes The Smokestack a real treat. The Beyond Burger, with a plant-based patty, is a delicious option for vegetarians. You can also order the plant-based patties on any of Twin Peaks’ other burger varieties.
Sid & Sam’s Scratch Kitchen: 2701 John Ben Sheppard Pkwy.
Sid & Sam’s Scratch Kitchen also serves more than burgers. However, the four burgers it does make are some of the best in Odessa. It’s called the Scratch Kitchen because it only serves meals made from scratch from fresh ingredients. Forget about bottled ketchup and frozen fries. Sid and Sam make their own burger sauce, and fries are handmade from fresh Idaho potatoes. Trust us, you can taste the difference.
The 12-ounce chopped steak burger is an interesting take on a classic hamburger. The Cheese Cheese Cheese Burger is every bit as indulgent as it sounds. You can add avocado, fried egg, hickory bacon, and other tasty extras to all the restaurant’s burgers. Sid & Sam’s Scratch Kitchen’s extensive drink menu features wines by the glass and domestic, imported, and craft beers.
Nothing quite beats a big, juicy burger. From classic hamburgers to more unusual gourmet buns, Odessa has you covered. Discover all the best burger joints our Texas home offers.
