The Scene – Founded in 1950 by Annie and Otto Sofka, the original all-American, wood-paneled hole-in-the-wall is still a favorite among all walks of life.

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 doulbe meat and cheese is hard to beat, and even better with a side of fries...

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...

  • Pros: Hamburgers
  • Cons: Closing after 50 great years

I can't speak for the quality of the hamburgers, but the barbecue is downright awful. If you?re looking for dry meat and a barbecue sauce without a hint of flavor then this is the place for you. To be fair, the people working there were really nice and the service was commendable.
