    Two meat plate with two sides.  Damn good BBQ it's worth the stop.  I will be back
    Jesse R.

    Bbq was superb and I will be back. The food, tea, and sides were more than I could eat. Stop on by you won't be disappointed

    Meat trio: brisket, smoked chicken, tri-tip, baked beans, corn bread, sweet tea, hi-c and lemonade
    Joanna W.

    Food is incredible!! Delicious smoked chicken and tri-tip. Excellent customer service. Parking available on the street, no steps to get into the restaurant. Small place but it feels like home. Staff is so friendly, seating area is super clean and smells delicious! Excellent spot to eat if you are in the Midland/Odessa area. Must try the Hi-C fruit punch!!! And the peach cobbler was insane!

    Diarrhea Sausage

    Had diarrhea for 3 days. Undercooked meats and dirty looking restaurant. Should of trusted my gut. Horrible service.

    3 Meat Plate
    K M.

    The owner is super nice!!!!!! The pulled pork was very good. The ribs were very tasty an fall off the bone tender. I like a when they are not so fall off the bone but that is a personal taste. Nevertheless the flavor the ribs were great. I'm not a huge fan of sausage but the sausage was good. I ordered the brisket as my 3 rd meat but they substituted the sausage instead. From looking at other plates, my guess is the chopped brisket is the best. I saw a HUGE stuffed potato and bbq that looked amazing

    Chopped beef bbq, sausage and beef rib

    When I knew I was going to visit Odessa I looked up reviews. This place did not disappoint at all. Ambinqce is the perfect hole in the wall block building so I knew this had the potential. Service was great and Ed himself was taking the order and we had a great conversation. Food was delicious. I did the three meats (sausage, chopped beef bbq and rib). I'm a Carolina guy so wasn't going to do the pork in Texas. Going for the beef. So good. The rib and it was one rib was very meaty and fell off the bone. Great sauce and good coloring. Sausage was good but I really enjoyed the chopped beef. Good flavoring and cooked to perfection. The beans and potato salad were good BUT the Mac a cheese. Oh my. Soooo good. If you're near here stop by. It's worth it.

    Served with a smile, on butcher paper! Gotta love it!!!

    We had an appointment at the hospital so I pulled up Yelp and looked for nearby restaurants. Ed & Tom's BBQ came up and was close by, so we gave it a try. We were glad we did!!! This is a totally "old school" place. The smoking pit is larger than the dining area. Place was packed with oil field workers having lunch and a line of folks grabbing orders to go. Went with the pulled pork and ribs on a recommendation of one of the folks eating there, and it did not disappoint. Tender, with a great flavor! Next time I am going with the stuffed baked potato. Saw a guy next to us order one and I had BBQ envy. It's worth it for the atmosphere alone, but the food will bring you back. I am a fan, and "I'll be back."

Don't mind the bad reviews from what some say! Try it for your self and I promise you!!! You won't be disappointed- I came from California to buy a truck bed and had to give this little place a chance and I'm so glad I did!! The food was amazing- the meat falls right off the bone! So many great flavors and omg! The tea is to die for! If u want something sweet for after I highly recommend u get some of the banana pudding!!! You can thank me later! Small quiet restaurant- clean and has some cool wall art! Don't mind the dirt lot or the outside! It's what takes places inside is the key ! Till we meet again and yes I'll be back!

    I grew up with Cooper's Texas pit bbq as my definition of true bbq. But now everything has changed…read morewith 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!!!

    Brantley Creek Barbecue didn't come recommended--it came insisted upon. It wasn't, "You should…read morecheck 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

Chip beef had the smoked flavor but didn't see the smoke ring when chopped. Smoke rings on meats are often considered a good sign of barbecue. The beans had a good taste not over bearing with seasoning. I'm a fan of coleslaw and this "slaw" was sweet and tasty! A bit soggy but overall, cool and refreshing! As for service, it has a counter service model. You place your order, pay your meal, and have your food plated. Customer service was top notch and friendly. Restaurant offers 70's-80's style decor with motorcycle helmets, Nascar memorabilia, and hanging toy airplanes from ceilings with wood tables. Slight country music plays in the background complements the barbeque setting.
