The Story

Denver's Most-Listed Smashburger.
From Sunnyside roots to a two-location city staple.

Cliff Blauvelt, a Northside Denver native, opened Odie B's (then called Bodega) in Sunnyside in summer 2022 with wife Cara, turning a neighborhood counter-service spot into one of the most talked-about breakfast and burger destinations in the city. The name - a nod to Ol' Dirty Bastard of Wu-Tang Clan - set the tone: a modern bodega mixing neighborhood energy with serious technique. After a trademark dispute forced a rebrand in July 2024, Odie B's opened a second location in RiNo in January 2025.

The Double OD Burger is a double smash with American and cheddar jack cheese, dilly pickled onions, dill pickles, and the house fancy sauce on a potato brioche bun. The garlic-scented patties and pickled-onion profile are the key differentiators, and the burger has repeatedly shown up in Denver best-of coverage.

Review Excerpts

"

The kind of spot that's obnoxiously good at everything it does, from the double smashburger that's landed on pretty much every best-of list in town to the griddled banana bread.

The Infatuation
"

On the thicker end of the spectrum, we love the double burgers at Bodega in Sunnyside.

Westword
"

A double smooshed patty burger featuring two types of cheese and chef Cliff Blauvelt's specialty sauce on a potato brioche bun.

DiningOut Denver
"

The fast-casual spot takes staples like cheeseburgers and breakfast sandwiches and makes the best possible versions, all with friendly service and a space that oozes retro 90s energy.

The Infatuation
"

A boisterous shop oozing community culture and hip-hop vibes - the Blauvelts are legends in the Denver foodservice and culinary scene.

Food Republic
"

One reviewer who tried the Double Bodega Burger noted they're not a huge fan of smash burgers and found the dilly onions and sauce were too sweet.

DiningOut Denver

Honestly the best food we had in Denver! The vibe is awesome in this place.
