The comments cited below are a sample of the full tally across 12 threads.
What people say, in short
Odge's is a recurring pick for a satisfying burger without restaurant-burger pricing. Diners praise the beef, and one recommends a double; some prefer it to Red Hot Ranch, while others emphasize value rather than a citywide ranking. The practical reservation is its limited hours: diners wish for a later closing time, and one says it can appear closed even while operating. Check the schedule rather than assuming a late meal is possible.
