Feb 20 , 2026 SkillsUSA was in Odessa college Cosmetology & Barbering contest. Brandon ( owner) was so generous and kind and donated food for our judges for their lunch. The Brisket , Turkey and trimmings were so delicious. All of us who judged and ran contest Thank you so much for your amazing food and generosity. I live in central Texas- this the best BBQ- Thank you again. read more

Fantastic stuff. Elite BBQ - not just West Texas, but ALL of Texas. Everything from the brisket, the ribs, the sausage, the sides... just impeccable. Mac n Cheese was awesome and those beans are banging. read more

Went here with my office for a lunch outing and it was so good. Great drinks and good bbq. I wouldn't recommend going at the lunch hour if you're on a time crunch tho. EVERYONE goes for lunch so there might be a long line. I did notice they get you through pretty quick but if you don't have much time I'd wait til you do read more

I grew up with Cooper's Texas pit bbq as my definition of true bbq. But now everything has changed with Brantley Creek! And it's just down the street from my house instead of several hours away - which is a culinary relief but a financial concern because it's all we want to eat! Our favorites are the moist brisket, sausage, fries, jalapeño creamed corn, and brisket beans. Although, to be honest, there's not anything on the menu that's anything but heavenly! Including the variety of iced teas! The staff is super helpful if you have any questions or need something specific due to dietary needs as well. If you prefer the burnt ends or extremely lean, they will work hard to get it for you if they have it! But they run out fast so get there in time to get what you want! We have often had dinner at 3PM to make sure we get plenty as well as get food to-go! It's worth it! Despite the demand and crowd combined with open air concept, they keep all the tables, condiments, and drink station SPOTLESS! And there's never any food on the playground or corn hole. I don't know how they do it but I'll pay double if they can come clean my house after or at least show me their magic tricks!!! read more

Brantley Creek Barbecue didn't come recommended--it came insisted upon. It wasn't, "You should check this place out," it was, "You're going there tonight." And thank God for that level of conviction, because this spot absolutely delivered. I ended up visiting more than once during my trip, not out of obligation, but out of pure craving. Their Texas Twinkies were in a league of their own--perfectly smoked, balanced in spice, and filled with flavor that hits you like a freight train of umami. Every dish I tried had a level of care and craftsmanship you don't find often. This wasn't just barbecue--it was barbecue done by people who love what they're doing. And yes, I tried all the cobblers. (No regrets. Don't judge.) Each one was distinct, warm, and clearly made with the same attention as the proteins coming out of the pit. What really struck me though--beyond the incredible food--was the environment. Families everywhere. Kids playing. Laughter in the air. It made me miss my own. Brantley Creek isn't just a restaurant, it's a gathering place, a little slice of wholesome Americana where the food just happens to be world-class. If I could copy and paste this place into my hometown, I would--with fingers crossed that it could hold on to the charm, heart, and flavor that make it so special read more

It was a long wait and worth every minute. They were out of the twinkies and I will get them next time. The brisket was juicy and full of flavor. 5 stars! read more

One of the best here in the Permian from the ribs, sausage, and brisckt. The sides were all good. But you best to be there on line 45 min before they open. read more

Family friendly place. Both inside covered and outdoor seating. You can let your kids run free. The food was omg so good. And I'm not a bbq person. I'd eat here again for the brisket alone. read more

Really disappointed in our experience and food. We live 20 minutes away so I checked their website and Facebook at 5pm to make sure they still had bbq and no where did it say they didn't. We get there at 5:25 and there's a sign that says no bbq after 4pm. They should have had it on their page because we wouldn't have drove if we'd known. And of course at 6pm they put on their FB no bbq and no live music. Well we are already there with two kids so we stay and order the smash burgers. Service was hit or miss with friendliness. As you can see from my picture my "bacon" cheeseburger had no bacon on it. They give you two packets of ketchup and there's no where else to get more so you have to try to flag down a runner or stand in the food line to ask for more. Also no where that had lids. Basically if you wanted something extra you had to ask for it. They should have a station with extras so people can help themselves when needed. Really disappointed but we do want to go back to try the bbq. Hopefully they will be more proactive in updating their information. read more

First taste of Texas BBQ, this place didn't disappoint! The location is open and welcoming with games, sports on the screens, and a playground for the kids. The staff was friendly. And the BBQ was delicious! I generally love bbq sauce, but this meat really doesn't need it with the tender smokiness the cook gives it. Yum! read more

Brantley Creek BBQ, I finally get to give you a try! Being originally from Odessa, hearing about a really great BBQ spot had really put it on my radar. Upon arriving I will admit the restaurant is very hidden behind the car wash and Dollar General and has one way entrance off Faudree Road and exit only at Eastridge Road. The restaurant is very modern, enjoy that it has a playground for the kids and outdoor eating area my only downside is no indoor eating so if the weather is too hot or cold could be an inconvenience however plenty of seating available. The line was rather lengthy however kept in mind it was noon at lunch hour on a Friday. I do enjoy reading about their cover stories on Texas Monthly and also all the local businesses posted across the restaurant. You place the meat order in the first window, the second window is deserts and the last window is to pay and drinks. After paying, I got the 3 meat plate, succulent lean smoked brisket, Turkey and jalapeño sausage link packed a punch! The side got the Mac and cheese which was a bit dry and the banana pudding for the desert which was very delicious I do highly recommend! Overall, great laid back atmosphere especially when the weather is nice, full bar and outdoor play area for the kids and the meat quality is amazing! I highly recommend you give it a try for great bbq in the Odessa area! read more

Real nice bbq restaurant. Food was delicious and so so tender. Bbq sauce has good flavor. Price are the normal of Midessa. Service was great they are on top of everything specially cleaning up. It's dog friendly too. read more

Amazing food, and environment. Definite must!! If you are anywhere near Midland/Odessa go check it out.

Get here early! Only a 4 star because they were out of everything but smashburgers and desserts. Now those are both things I LOVE, but I came here hoping for ribs and brisket. Lots of staff and they were very helpful and apologetic both. Grabbed a burger and some banana pudding. Smash burger was very well done (2 smashed patties with cheese in the middle) and the veggies in it were nice and crisp. Home sliced fries were tasty and fried crispy. The pudding was nice and airy and stacked full of wafers and banana slices. I can feel my blood sugar spiking just thinking about it. Definitely recommend and will be back earlier next time. read more

Went back a few months later in hopes that this time we would be able to actually try the bbq and went around 3:30pm and they told us again they didn't have bbq......this seems to be a trend when I am checking other comments. How are u a bbq place without consistently having bbq everyday on the days ur opened??? It should be Brantley creek burger and company instead. So disappointed. read more

Smash burger was amazing! I had the cucumber salad, it was ok. Mac n cheese was also delicious.

Stood in line for 45 minutes before we realized that I would take another 45 minutes to get food after we're able to order. Too long of a wait. Also not handicap friendly for standing in line. read more

Brantley Creek Barbecue - Ribs,brisket, jalapeños sausage - Barbeque Near Me - Odessa, Texas

Bq, atmosphere, music and beer were GREAT..!!! Sides reminded me of school cafeteria food .....

I never like leaving bad reviews but I have high expectations with BBQ, Houston where I'm from has some of the best. All though I didn't expect it to be that level what pissed me of the most was I paid 35.00 for chicken and turkey and the chicken quarters weren't big enough to please a field mouse let alone a grown man. The portions were very small and they meat was extremely dry. I'm now about to go elsewhere because I'm still in fact hungry... place is very nice and good environment but the portions need work and definitely need to upgrade the chicken to man size. read more

Have been there several times. Some of the best barbecue I have ever had. It's amazing. They cook somewhere between 60 and 80 briskets a day. All too perfection. It's like a well oiled machine that produces extremely good food and wonderful service. Great place to go read more

From the atmosphere to the food 10/10! Service was good and prices are cheap for it to be bbq!!

The food was incredible. Brisket Taco Soup, Smoked Turkey and Jal Corn were just wow! The service and vibe of the joint was just great. If I lived here, this would be my local! read more

Great BBQ! When they are out the smash burgers are very good! Saturdays they have incredible bread pudding! The banana pudding is very yummy too! A repeat for sure!! read more

My husband cannot stop raving about this place. He loved the atmosphere and decor saying this is how he would want his BBQ backyard to look like. The brisket was cooked perfectly, and one of the best he has had. The line was long, but time whittled fast because they had live music playing and the line did move. the place was clean, and the servers came around frequently to check on us read more

Facility is top of the line and very family friendly. TV, Corn Hole game & Live entertainment. Been voted best BBQ in The Permian 5 years in a row by the people. Friendly staff that strive to make your experience fantastic. They cook 45-50 briskets a day to try and keep up with the demand. Along with 60-80 racks of ribs 30-40 Turkey breast and 50-60 hole chickens. BBQ is from 11am-4pm. Smash Burgers from 4-8. read more

Went here for lunch and it was good. The meat was seasoned well and did not need any sauce. The size portion was great and the ribs were the best part for me. I like a rib where it's tender but still holds on the bone. They did have a line but it moves pretty quickly. When I'm back in town I will stop by again. read more

Great atmosphere. The food is phenomenal. As a backyard smoker lol i have to say these guys definitely know about bbq and I've eaten at the best bbq places all across Texas and I can honestly say we have one of the best bbq joints in Texas. read more

The only BBQ i will eat here! All the staff is helpful and polite. They always go out of their way to take care of us. Great beer and liquor selection with a couple bartenders that are very good at what they do! To top it off, there are areas for kids to play, cornhole, and table games. There is always a good crowd that is very comfortable. I love heading going to Brantley Creek not only with friends but also with my kids! read more

If there is one thing Texas is known for it for sure has to be their barbecue where to start with this place. The aesthetic is very pleasing. It gives the aesthetic of a backyard home type feel The service was amazing. The waitresses were very polite and efficient. And for the price, you can't beat it. Let me start by saying when I give reviews I give them honestly and without malicious intent I ordered. I ordered the smash burger with grilled onions, mac & cheese, jalapeño sausage, fries, and the famous Texas Twinkie. When I say this again, I honestly and wholeheartedly the Smashburger was a pretty good burger. Only things I can say about the Smashburger was that it may have been a little too greasy, but besides that it's all right the mac & cheese was not that great. The noodles were hard and it was kind of cold but it's not the worst. I've had the jalapeño sausage was not as I expected it to be. It was a little bit on the dryer end but still had some decent flavor and finally Twinkie Twinkie I would have to say was one of the best things I've had that was on my plate. You can never go wrong with a jalapeño popper, stuffed with cheese and brisket. The fountain drinks were the best fountain drinks that I've had in Midland overall I would give this place three stars if I could suggest things that needed to be worked on I would say better circulation and more space but besides that this place was amazing and definitely must visit read more

Brantley Creek Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Odessa, Texas

came here only on its third day of being open and arrived around 5, so still ironing out the kinks - they were out of everything besides burgers and fries. understandable! would think they're still gauging the demand and the employees were apologetic about it. so, we decided to get what they had, and DAMN it was a delicious burger. the sauce it comes with is amazing, have had something similar somewhere else, a light pink sauce, a little sweet and creamy. I like the setup and the ambiance of it, it's still super hot out so I bet it would be really nice to chill at in the fall/winter. it's a bit pricey but it's BBQ so that's expected. looking forward to coming back and updating this review when I'm able to try the BBQ and sides. we were also able to get the banana pudding (one of my favorite desserts) and it's easily one of the best I've ever had. update: came back last weekend right at 11 when they opened, still is wildly busy. stood in line for an hour which was killer in this heat we've been having, BUT there were a couple coolers around and a kid that would ask/pass out cold waters if you needed which was really nice - staff is still really friendly. was able to get some ribs and brisket with sides of macaroni and the jalapeño creamed corn. ribs are the best I've had in this area, they're just really flavorful and I like their sweet BBQ sauce they have on the tables. got the bread pudding (think they only serve this on Saturdays iirc) and D A M N. yummy. can't wait for the newly-opened-restaurant-craziness to ideally die down, would love to come back more often. read more

I have had the pleasure to work with Brandon when he was just doing the food truck and a few caterings. Now that he has the brick and mortar up and running it hasn't disappointed either. We stopped by for lunch and ordered the two meat plate which had the turkey and brisket. Both were spot on as always and Brandon still stops by the table to say hello. Congrats Brandon on a job well done. read more
