Odie B's Sunnyside

Odie B's used to be called Bodega, until a Kansas City restaurant made a legal claim on the word, and the rename hasn't cost it anything. This is fast-casual breakfast and American food built with real intent: green chile braised short rib sandwiches, banana bread pudding cups, cheeseburgers and breakfast sandwiches that get treated like they matter. Nothing here is trying to be fine dining, and that's the point — the ambition goes into making the simple stuff better than it needs to be.

The room carries a loose, retro '90s energy that fits the food, and the service moves with the kind of warmth that's hard to fake. It reads as a genuine neighborhood habit rather than a destination stunt, the sort of place people in Highland actually build routines around.

That reputation isn't just local. Odie B's has landed on national recognition lists and kept earning nods from Denver press since. The consistency is the case: good value, good food, good mood, delivered enough times that it stopped being a surprise and started being expected.
