Otto's Barbecue & Hamburgers, a cherished Houston institution, has been serving authentic, country-style food since 1951 when it was founded by Otto and Annie Sofka.

Over the years, Otto's has welcomed notable guests like President George Bush and George Foreman, but it is their loyal patrons who are truly cherished. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a decades-long fan, Otto's Barbecue & Hamburgers invites you to savor a dining experience that blends time-honored traditions with classic country cooking.
