A GREAT Hamburger!!
by texmex1
I have been going to Otto's since I was a Kid, and although the BBQ has always been good, I always go for one of their great hamburgers!

The dining room and bar area is always full of some great characters discussing current events...
I had lunch there today and was informed that the closing is real, and probably only 4-6 weeks away, so you better get there and have a last taste of yet another Houston institution closing its doors...

- Cons: Closing after 50 great years
