"The staff here was nice and friendly. What I assumed were regulars showed up and chatted a bit, which is always a good sign. Place looks nice and antique. Like they know how to cook an old school burger. Which, to be fair, they do. Te burger was good enough, not bad in any way but not anything special in any regard. I will say the whole burger had a crunch to the edge what I found enjoyable. The fries were run of the mill. You definitely go for the burger. I paid 30 for one burger, fries and a drink. And I thought I overpaid. But in retrospect, its a large burger. Enough for 2 servings, at least for me. This is a place where you go if you want a bug amount of food reasonably fast and reasonably priced. Pleasantly surprised."

"We’ve been eating here for years. It’s hands-down the best burger joint. We always have the gigantic burger that feeds 4. They prefer cash which is a pain but we made it work since the burger is awesome. But…today I called to place an order but it went straight to voicemail that was full. I drove here and it looks like it’s possibly closed for good. There’s a No Trespassing sign and caution tape at the drive through. And the menu they used to have up is no longer there. It’s a sad, sad day for me and my family."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BJ’s Drive-In in Odessa is a true West Texas classic. From the moment you pull in, it feels like stepping back into a simpler, better era of drive-in food done right. I ordered the 1 lb hamburger and split it with my nieces and nephew, and BJ’s even cut it into four pieces for us, which was such a thoughtful and family-friendly touch. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, the fries were hot and crispy, and everything came out fast and fresh. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. This place has character, consistency, and that comfort-food quality that keeps locals coming back. A true Odessa staple that never disappoints."

"Definitely recommend this place. The food was so good and was cooked to order so it was a little wait but not to bad for the hot fresh food. it is reasonably priced for the food we got the jalapeno double burgers, and the chili cheese fries, my kids got regular burgers and chicken tender dinner and everything was cooked to perfection. the lady that took our order was very kind. I give it a 10 out of 10"

"I have been eating at BJ’s since my childhood, as this is one of many Odessa staples. I was a bit nervous here recently to come, as I have seen many negative reviews on a specific worker. However, to my surprise I was helped by who I assume was the Owner, and my overall experience was great! They got me in and out in less than 10 Minutes. Food was fresh, and overall great! I hope they can get this worker situation figured out, but again, my experience today was good!"
