Well worth stopping here for BBQ! The exterior is casual and welcoming and when you walk inside you can smell the goodness. Order at the window inside and sit at a table and it's brought to you. Excellent and friendly customer service as all the options are explained to newcomers (how the German potato salad is made possibly different than others) to make sure you order what you prefer. The brisket sandwich was moist and flavorful and the bun was warm and toasted which was a nice touch and you have the option of sauce on the side and several toppings like pickles, onions, and jalapeños. I ordered the regular potato salad side and it was exactly how I liked it - pickle juice and no onions. The ice tea is very good also. We were so hungry after traveling all day that we forgot to take pics of the delicious food! My husband had the brisket platter with the German potato salad and he said it was very good. This place was a very good find and well worth a detour off the highway. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but damn, the bbq is amazing! Had the rib plate with extra ribs that was overflowing with goodness, including a jalapeno and some side onions. Solid cole slaw too. You can skip the German potato salad though; a little lackluster. Rose is a pip too -- came out and made sure everything was ok because we got quiet (that's because our mouths were full!!!!). read more

You won't be disappointed with their 1/2 lb. smoked burger served on Tuesdays & Thursdays. The utter deliciousness of this burger made me a believer & it will make you one to!!! Their hospitality & customer service is also fantastic!!! read more

Great locals spot. The German potatoes were awesome. This place is comfort food like being at your aunts house. We went at an off time -- no more dessert, no more ribs but owner was real nice. read more

We always get our Friday night ribeye steaks from the Rose. They are seasoned incredibly well and cooked to the right degree. Sides are plentiful. But they only do this on Friday night so get your steaks early. read more

Nice sliced beef sandwich With sweet pickle relish! Nice touch $16.50 for sandwich and drink. The sandwich was very tasty but I left hungry. For that price the sandwich should have filled me up. read more

If you're looking for an old-fashioned mom & pop restaurant, this is the place and the ribeye's are grilled to your liking. The tea is sweet, the staff are accommodating, friendly and it's a family style restaurant. Go have a sit, enjoy the tea and good food. read more

The german potato salad was amazing . They had a banana pudding that was the real deal homemade like GREAT grandma made. They also have a seasoning that is house made that is ummmmmmm-licious !!!!!!! read more

Best time go is on Wednesdays during lunch for the catfish plate. It is very good. Other than that everything else is twice the price of what it should be and the BBQ is mediocre at best in comparison to the other 100+ places I've tried around the nation. read more

For a quaint little divey place this scores a five star review. I LOVE little local places where the staff has tons of charm. Bible verses and Texas pride fills it with most of the wall space covered in kitsch. My only problem is that I didn't see a smoker there, maybe I missed something? Yes I am a Yankee but I know good Q when I see it. The brisket lacked a smoke ring so I assume this place buys it. The staff is very sweet with amazing southern hospitality but I just didn't understand the smoker situation. I had some native Texans with me that noticed the same thing so you can dismiss my Yankee status. read more

Only 2 places I get my BBQ, Rose's BBQ and Tall City, in Odessa Tx. Both have great BBQ and great sides and desserts, rest are hit and miss, so I stick with these 2 great BBQ places. Tried them all, I never go wrong with both places read more

Been eating their food for 20,or more years. I really like the beans ,meat,potato salad and sandwiches. I think it's one of the best in Odessa.They have had to go up on prices since coved hit,but still the best for me read more

From walking in to getting your food felt like home! This is for sure a must try place!

Excellent food and very nice owners. They really care about the quality of the food and your dining experience

Cowboy pie has been amazing for the last 10 years! A whole order will feed 4 people! So far, they have been the best bbq I have found!

Do not sleep on this place this a gem in the ruff awesome people that you can laugh with really amazing food only reason I'm leaving 4 starts because I didn't like how the food came out my body but what could you expect when you eat this read more

Great food!! The ribeye steak on Fridays was the best I've had in Odessa! My wife has been to the drive thru and has been treated rudely both times....normally we would not go back to a place for this reason but the food is too good......It doesn't cost you anything to be nice-but it can sure cost you if you're not! read more

Wow!! We stopped in at around 2pm for lunch and we were blown away by the delicious food and the hospitality. The lady working the register was extremely sweet and very flexible and accommodating with the menu. We ordered the family pack #1 which was one pound of meat, two 1 pint sides, and one pint of dessert. She let us sub the desert for other food and split the 2 pint sides into 4 half pint sides. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was DELICIOUS. The only thing i could say is that i personally would season the green beans a little more but they were simple and still very good. The brisket and ribs were cooked perfectly and the German potato salad was my favorite side. Don't let the hole in the wall look of the place deceive you, this place has authentic home cooking!! I would 10/10 recommend this place to everyone! read more

Yes, that location is correct. A mile west of the freeway loop, in the middle of overgrowth and the occasional shack. Go slowly, the sign comes up quickly and the driveway's hard to see. I parked there and said "seriously? This is the holiest of holes in the walliest of walls." I went inside, and most of the tables were occupied with locals. People were driving through or stopping inside to pick up orders. And it's been around at least 15 years, says the outdoor sign. Okay, there must be something to it. See the star rating above. I am on a BBQ binge, but I saw this place offers Fritos pie. I wanted both. The helpful lady (actually, there were several of them) pointed out that what I wanted is the Cowboy Pie. That is what you want as well. That is what the random guy who stopped in a half hour later wanted, and I confirmed it. It takes Fritos pie and replaces the mundane ground beef with extraordinary BBQ brisket. The brisket is just the right amount of chewy and tender, and coated with the right amount of sauce. Now, I could argue that it was overwhelmed by the beans and Fritos (and cheese and optional jalapenos), but really there was an equal amount of each layer, and I was just eating all the beef first because of how delicious it is. I would imagine you can't go wrong ordering anything along the lines of BBQ or pie. All of the staff were chatty and helpful. The place is small but clean and very homey. Unquestionably the best BBQ I've had on this Texas excursion, and I would think it's the best in the Permian Basin based on the paucity of other well-rated places. Come off the Interstate and enjoy some real Texas BBQ the way you've heard it should be. read more

Heaven sent , lovely , delicious! Wonderful service, would eat here twice a week if I could!

3.5 stars...Ordered the double mear plate with beef and sausage. Ordered it with beans and potato salad. It came with sauce and pickkes and onions. They turned my order around quickly. The meat was tender and the sausage was good but it didnt strike me as an amazing bbq experience. The sides were similar to what my wife makes but not as flavorful. I did enjoy the sauce. I would return. read more

HOLY MOTHER MARY JOSEPH! We stopped by here starving from our trip from El Paso and boy am I impressed. We ordered a three meat plate with brisket, sausage, and ribs. I'm not usually a rib fan, I don't like to pick them and eat them off the bone. However, this rib must have been pulled from Christ himself because it is the single best piece of meat I have ever put in mouth. It seriously brought tears to my eyes! It fell right off the bone and had the perfect sear on top. I can't even tell you why the bbq sauce tasted like, sorry, didn't even need it. The meat was flavorful I couldn't bare cover it up. Thank You The Rose, for the best gosh dang meat I've ever tasted. read more

The best BBQ you will find in Odessa and surrounding area. Been around for a long time for a reason. Owned and operated by a local family with the absolute best hospitality. Everyone is friendly. Highly recommended the fried catfish on Friday night! And everything else. It's all good. read more

The food is just amazing ,homemade ,delicious, tasteful and good serving amount.The lady helping us was very nice . We had the 3 meat plate and every bite was so good. The beans are fresh and tasted like my mom's beans. The german potatoes salad is very good too. Desserts were the best , peach cobbler, so fresh, the pies were amazing too. I wish she moved to San Diego and opened a bbq place there . We loved everything in our plate. read more

Came through this little town on a roadtrip from Knoxville, Tennessee to San Diego. The food was amazing and the hospitality was down to earth and warm. read more

The food was not good at all. The portions were very small. The sliced beef was literally half fat. The BBQ sauce had way too much vinegar and the taste in general was just gross. I got the peach cobbler also. It was the worse peach cobbler I've ever had . Worse BBQ place I've had in Texas in the past 13 years. The menu prices are out of date. The 1 meat plate was almost $16.00 a plate. Dont waste your money or time. read more

Amazing food and service! The atmosphere is very quaint and most from another time and place! You will not go wrong taking the drive out to try it out. My wife and kids had an amazing time! read more

My sister was visiting Texas and she wanted some authentic Texas BBQ, this didn't disappoint. She had the cowboy pie which she said was delish. My husband had the brisket and I had a turkey sandwich, it was all excellent. read more

The good: The brisket was outstanding and I usually don't order brisket. It was just so moist, tender and flavorful. It was easy to curl it up and dip it right into the little barbecue sauce cup. Cute quirky decor , like a sign that says "Hippies must use back door". Friendly staff, it seemed like it was the owner who took my order/delivered the food. The bad: "bad" might be a little strong, but I didn't think that the coleslaw or beans were anything special. They weren't "bad" just kind of average. Overall, this place is well worth your while to try , see my description of the brisket above if you need to be reminded. read more

I found it enjoyable to dine in vs takeout in order to visit with the owner and learn more about the history of the place. Thankful I did, very good people.

I absolutely love their burgers and cowboy pies! Stop in, you will not be disappointed!

I can't tell you how happy I am that we found this little gem. I was in town for business and wanted to find a good BBQ place. I grew up in GA and spent some time working at a BBQ restaurant, so I know good BBQ. This was by far the best I've had in years. Good quality meat that was cooked to perfection. We had the cowboy pie, which I highly recommend, a pound of ribs, and a bunch of sides including cobbler. Everything was delicious!! This is now my favorite restaurant in the Odessa area, and I'll be hitting it up every time I'm in town. PS - The owner is an absolute doll! She was more than accommodating, and helped to put the experience over the edge. I'd go back just to visit with her again. read more

Been all over Texas because the job makes us travel. Have a list of 1 hotel per city and maybe a restaurant if it's really good. This was great food. The meat was fall off the bone tender with a great flavor. read more
