I can't comment on the quality of the hamburgers, but the barbecue is downright awful. If you're looking for dry meat and tasteless barbecue sauce then this is the place for you. To be fair, the people working there were friendly and the service was commendable.

Pros: Friendly service

Cons: Dry meat and tasteless barbecue sauce

Stopped by right before closing. Ms Rosetta couldn' t have been nicer. She gave me a tour, showing where the BBQ was and a told a little history about the place. Hamber and fries were great. Ms Rosetta even dropped a rib by for a sampling. Great local flavor w/ locals.

Good burgers, hole in the wall type of restaurant. Has been around for a while and is a popular spot for locals. Any kind of burger you can think of and cheap for the amount of food you get. "I had a friend say he was upset because his burger was coming to an end".

not a big fan of this place. not horrible, but by no means what i would choose... brisket is super dry, ribs are fatty, sausage is ok. sides are good but very predictable. dont care at all for their sauce, too thin and bitter. service is great and prices are reasonable. memorial/galleria/kirby area is in desperate need of good barbeque (aside from goode and luling - both of which are better but not dramatically so) so i keep going just because its convenient...

Pros: price, sausage, convenience

Cons: brisket, ribs

The only thing worth getting at Ottos is the country ham sandwich (or po-boy). The beef and other meats are not very good. It is average food and not nearly as good as George Bush claims it is.

Pros: Country Ham, Nice Atmosphere

Cons: BBQ Sauce, Other meats
