Whether you’re dining in with the crew or calling in a pickup order, we’re glad you’re here.
“Perfect little hole-in-the-wall if you love real BBQ from real people. We stopped in on a business trip and it was so good we came back the next day with more coworkers. Brisket and ribs are so tender you can cut them with a fork. Staff is friendly, and Ed will treat you right. Just make sure you save room for the peach cobbler — your belly will thank you.”
“Ed & Tom’s Bar-B-Que in Odessa is absolutely amazing. I tried their All-Star five-meat plate and every bite reminded me of home in South Alabama. Rich, smoky flavor and everything cooked to perfection. If you’re ever in town, this spot is a must.”
“The brisket is like butter — melts in your mouth — and the collard greens are the best in Odessa, bar none. This is one of the few places left where you know you won’t be disappointed. Family-owned, friendly, and funny staff. When you dine in, you feel like you’re part of the family.”
Ed & Tomeka Mitchell have been serving the Odessa community for years with one simple mission — good food, good people, and a place that feels like home. What started as a small family operation has grown into a hometown staple known for tender brisket, fall-apart ribs, friendly faces, and a welcoming atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else.
Inside these walls are years of memories — signatures from loyal customers, stories shared over plates of smoky goodness, and a legacy of showing up every day to give people the kind of barbecue that keeps them coming back.
At Ed & Tom’s, you’re not just a customer — you’re family. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, picking up dinner, or introducing someone to real Texas BBQ for the first time, we’re proud to serve you.
