The food was really good. I love that they have line dancing lessons for newcomers I only wish the dance floor was a little bigger and also that there was someway I could see the instructor better during the lessons. Other than that this place is honestly so much fun! I had a blast!!! read more

This place has about everything you'd need, or even not need, in it. Bill riding ring, live music, gift shop, multiple bars, etc. it's super spacious, and bills itself as "the largest honky tonk in the world. I thought that was odd, seeing as how the largest honky tonk was a WWE wrestler in the 1980's and 90's. Haha. Ok not my best joke but work with me here. Anywho, I'd go back here for sure. read more

Came here to take a dance class, and if I was rating just the class I would give it a five stars. Loved it! However, I am rating the overall venue. We came during the day on a Sunday and paid $3 a person to get in. If there is a cover charge, I would assume there are free things to enjoy inside. Wrong! It all costs extra. I would be so disappointed if I came in to see it, especially since I saw it on many tourist lists. If there isn't an event you're coming for skip it. read more

It's interesting to read these reviews and see how many people are focusing on different parts of this experience. To some, Billy Bob's is Billy Bob's: the whole shabang. For others, the focus is on some specific draw that may have turned out well or not. For my group it was the dining. We were there in the middle of the afternoon, not to walk around and explore the handprints or play arcade games or ride a bull, but to get some lunch for 5 of us who were hungry and nearby. I didn't realize until I scanned the QR code and got on the website that parking was going to be $15. Then we got to the door and admission was going to be $3/person. What a freaking money grab. Like, I get it, I guess, you are apparently a tourist destination, but it's basically just stuff to buy inside... So we were $30 behind before we even got to order our food. The food was fine but nothing to write home about. You can get decent BBQ at any well rated BBQ spot. Lots of bars have similar ambiance. But this is clearly not a spot to just pop in on for the food. Should have gone somewhere else but live and learn! Only redeeming value is that I can now say I've been there. read more

Fun bar. Usually has good music playing and the food is actually not bad. Weak and expensive drinks but I guess that's to be expected. Didn't last long but the bull riding was fun. Worth a stop. read more

Billy Bob's Texas - Up close and personal! - Music Venues Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

So much fun ! Large hunky tonk with dancing, music, pool tables, and casual food vendors. The venue for concerts is great. The pit is sectioned off and although you see and hear the special musician playing from the surrounding area, it's nice to be close to the stage. The place is loud, definitely not an intimate setting, but a lot of fun can be had. read more

I came here to attend Cater BloodCare's donors appreciation event and I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The place was nicely air conditioned and was overall quite pleasant. The BBQ buffet was the shocker as it was really quite good. The potato salad was some of the best I've tried. The sausage was really smoky and a pleasant shock to my palete. The chicken was also very tasty, and I was not expecting such fine quality food based on the reviews I've read, but if you're craving for some great Texas BBQ, do give this place a try. read more

I can't comment on the food since I didn't eat any! The beers are overpriced & warm!!!! Service sucks & the place was overbooked for Jelly Roll!! Y'all gouged us for $170 to stand in the F'n pit!! Half the folks were rude AF!! I understand some of the money went to charities! However, that's beside the point. The atmosphere is straight low rent trash people! After the concert was over & they turned the lights on, there was empty plastic cups, beer cans & bottles all on the floor! There were several trash cans nearby! However, these trashy hillbillies threw their trash on the floor! I'm from Cali & all I ever hear is Texas is all about RESPECT!!!! That's straight Bullsh!t!! I hear folks saying don't Cali my Texas!! First off, what the F**k does that even mean? You sound ignorant AF putting all folks from Cali in one category! After this experience, I don't wanna hear shit about Texans having more respect than Cali folks! Some of you act like drunk fools & behaved worse than animals!!!!! I'm too good for this establishment! Y'all act like you're in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive!!!! NOT...LMAO :). I have no desire to return or to spend my hard earned money here!! TRASHY AF read more

So Billy Bobs is a Stock Yards staple and has been around for a long time. I had been here before a couple times, but I possibly only had been here for one show previously. When buying a ticket to see a couple bands I wanted to see previously I had forgotten the set up for the venue, there was 2 ticket levels. One was $20 to be able to get into the venue period. With access to a ton of bars, pool tables, games and places to hang out. But not a lot of space to stand and watch the show. $40 level got you in the area that makes sense for people watching the show to stand in vs the hang out areas. There seemed to be a number of people unaware of the difference so there was a lot of folks scrambling the night of the show at the venue to come up with the extra $20 per person to actually be on the concert floor. There was also bull riding that night for an extra fee but the timing of that would have made us miss the concert. Overall not a bad place to see a show, and would come back for the right bands or if anyone just wanted to see the place. But would know to pay the extra a head of time to be on the concert floor. read more

It was okay. We popped into Billy Bob's Texas on a Thursday afternoon recently. There were 6 of us. A couple of things that were a bit off for us... 1. Cost $3 each to enter 2. It smelled like sewer inside (really bad - the whole time - everywhere) What we liked... 1. It wasn't crowded at all 2. There was a lot of history there to see 3. Beer was cold 4. Easy to get a pool table All in all, it was an okay but not amazing experience. I am sure if we were there for a show, it would have been pretty cool. read more

I visited Billy Bob's a couple days before Christmas to see what it was all about. I came here with my brother to explore what the craze was all about. Located in Fort Worth amongst bar crawls, Billy Bob's was actually quite family friendly despite it being an establishment known for drinking. Regardless, people of all ages and backgrounds are welcome, with minors getting X's marked over their hands. Live music was very fun, with a dance floor for all those who are confident dancers and for those who are not. I was incredibly happy to find that everyone was welcoming and kind to us, and my brother and I had a fantastic time. Dancing, socializing, and making new friends with other patrons made me feel at home and genuinely made my night one to remember. read more

Loved the atmosphere and the music. The drinks are a little pricey. We also enjoyed watching Josh Ward in concert.

Been going to Billy Bobs since they opened. One of my favorite shows there is 38' Special. Last Friday night didn't disappoint!. The band was great as usual but what stands out was the attentive service we got from our server Makkaela. She was the Bomb!!! Always a pleasure to visit with Marty the one man party Travis, and usually Robert Gallagher, whom we didn't see this trip. Best music venue in Cowtown, just wish the shows started earlier!!! read more

Had to check out this iconic venue while at the Stockyards but was disappointed. 1000s of people attend the cattle drive and parade at 4PM so after that everyone looks for something to eat which is why it is so odd that Billy Bobs food service closes at this time and does reopen until 6??? We paid $4 bucks a piece to basically do nothing but use the bathroom and walk around an empty dark unfriendly place. Not one bartender welcomed us or even looked at us. The lady hostess stand, DeeDee I think was super nice and had a great personality. Ticket counter people seem to hate their job; gave us attitude when e asked for cover charge refund. I'm sure at night with live music etc it is hopping and fun but the closing of all food places at this time sent us asking and getting a refund and spending $$ elsewhere. Cool place to read about the history and probably great fun if you live for country music and bars. No judgement but, hey, people gotta eat. read more

We went on a ladies night for free admission. It was pretty slow because we went so early, but service was helpful and there was a ton to explore. We decided to take pictures on the bull, and the associate was the BEST. He posed us, when we hopped on in skirts he covered us with hats, and even took extra pictures. The experience itself was hilarious but he took it over the edge helping us out. I've been to Billy Bob's for concerts, normal nights out, and it's always been a blast. Definitely recommend, especially if you're visiting Fort Worth! read more

Not for kids we wanted to take our little ones to see the bull riding at Billy bobs and it was a joke A fat old man told the younger gentleman to exaggerate, make it sound worse im guessing so the parents take the little ones out which I had enough of his shit and just left but that's ridiculous everything is overpriced they could of at least been nicer. Total waste of money won't be coming back. read more

After contacting this establishment due to my prior experience, I wanted to update my review. First off the lady that answered my phone calls, Cathy Joe was such a delightful woman. She was not only concerned but went out of her way to get me in touch with the right people. Thank you Cathy Joe for the great customer service! Marty was very responsive and professional. Quinn was quick to act and asked me for all the details. He assured me that this is not the way they do business. THERE IS A STRICT NO RE-ENTRY without a exit stamp. This is not the same stamp as when you check in. I also heard of a few people who couldn't get back in while we were eating pizza. Thank you Kaden for asking us as we exited if we planned to come back. After leaving my review I received multiple messages that the same employees that I dealt with on my prior visit had also been overly aggressive, unprofessional and abused their power of position. I couldn't agree with them more. The people I came in contact with the first night were alarming. When invited back we decided to see Aaron Lewis. What an amazing performance. Service was great. No issues at all. Thank you Quinn for a much better experience. I hope you get the kinks worked out. read more

The sliders were some of the best I've had. Line dancing was really fun. Great place for an event.

Came here for line dancing on Saturday- It was super fun- brought a group of teenagers and they enjoyed it. Website mentions 20 percent off which you don't get until after the lesson (even though we ordered while the girls were doing the line dancing:(). Was also charged a 22% gratuity for a restaurant you order at the register and pick up your own food..... so not what we are paying gratuity for:(. Would recommend coming for dancing but eat elsewhere. read more

I guess you're supposed to go here. But was very disappointed . But maybe I didn't know what to expect. Searched for steakhouse and this place showed up. My siblings had been years ago and said it was "an event" to check out. Here are my issues: ***$3 charge per person to go in and eat. "We're more a museum with a restaurant". ***$9 pina colada. Ok. "Do you want to make it a double?" 'Do you mean double size or alcohol?' "Alcohol". Ok. Great. A double cost $20. Really?!?? ***No "museum" to see. Just a big empty hall with low lighting and an over priced gift store clearly sponsored by Justin Boots. Maybe it's a place to be on Friday night or Saturday...definitely avoid during the day! read more

Ok, so, I was in Fort Worth for a conference, and they sponsored dinner and honky tonk at " world famous Billy Bob's." When in Rome, as they say. It certainly lived up to the adage about everything in Texas being bigger. Massive bars, dance area, and a static bull for pictures that can hold 6 people.I was glad to experience it. Food? Meh. Drinks? Meh meh. But I wasn't paying, so who am I to argue? It's touristy and kitschy. It's Texas big. Am I glad I went? Yep. Would I pay to go again? Probably not. read more

Attended a company dinner at this Fort Worth institution! Venue was open just for us, so it was quiet. Had quesadillas and jalapeno poppers for appetizers. Quesadillas were ok, jalapeno poppers were out of a box, and I didn't care for them. Dinner was coleslaw, potato salad, smoked chicken, brisket, pulled pork, cornbread, and peach cobbler. Everything was okay, except for the peach cobbler, which I thought was awful. I imagine most people go for the honky tonk experience, and not for the food, but then what do I know! read more

We had an awesome time at Billy Bobs. We bought tickets and attended the Casey Donahew concert. It was a great show and was on my wife's "bucket list"! It's a huge venue with a small rodeo stadium inside. It's exactly what you'd expect in Texas. It's in the heart of The Stockyard's. The food was decent. Plenty of parking. I really hope we can get back down and enjoy another concert. My all time favorite David Allan Coe album was recorder here too. So much music history! It's definitely a must stop venue. read more

To be quite frank, I would expect more from the world's "biggest honky tonk." From their subpar music, to their want-to-be cops aka security. These people have a poor attitude, and need to up their music. Any successful business knows you want to stay open until 3AM. If I were the owner, I would have a serious conversation with my employees in regards to time we are open til. Not surprised Billy Bob's is a 3-star rating. I used to be a big fan, but over the last year it's gone down hill very fast. Sure hope management steps it up and brings it back to modern day standards. A shame to see a place with such potential spiral downward. #MakeBillyBobsGreatAgain #DontMakeBillyBobsLikeCalifornia #KeepItTexas read more

The overall atmosphere is good with adequate bartenders and staff. Depending on the day of the week (would avoid week days) it can be a good time with the scheduled performances but would not recommend if any alcohol consumption is anticipated. I have witnessed multiple parties get forcibly thrown out due to being observed as "drunk" by management for sitting at tables with no confrontation or observable issues with behavior (basically thrown out for drinking at a bar...) read more

The 'Biggest Honky-Tonk in the World' has good and bad points. The big room near the entry has a million things going on at once; bull-riding to dancing. If one bar is too crowded; walk to a different one - there are dozens. Our concert-entry was fast and efficient; WAY BETTER (FASTER) than other similar size concert halls. Good job, BB! Tables and seats in concert area are jammed so close together that we could barely fit in our chairs. The crowding yielded several arguments and conflicts in our area. Half the seats face AWAY from the stage. Bad idea, BB. Drink service was friendly, but inconsistent. There were several 30-40 minute periods where thirsty patrons couldn't find our waittress or get service. Even early in the evening, before the crowd arrived - we often couldn't get drinks. Hire more help, BB. When the crowd got into arguments, the small female waittresses tried to intercede. Bad plan, BB - hire more big security guys for busy nights. It's a great place to people-watch, and every wannabe cowboy or cowgirl should go check it out. We had fun, in spite of the drawbacks (this fun caused me to give 4 stars, when my initial plan was to give only 3 stars). read more

Great concert venue! We had front row seats to see Robert Cray. Sound system was excellent. Cocktail servers were very attentive. We also chose to eat dinner there and probably won't do that again. The chili was well flavored, but lukewarm. Cheese sticks were good, they were out of marinara. My husband ordered a three meat plate. Which he had to go up to the counter to find out where it was, after waiting 20 minutes. Evidently when they brought out my chili and cheese sticks they closed out the ticket. Chopped brisket was super dry and stringy. I think the bbq sauce was KC Masterpiece. Not made in house. They don't sell alcohol in the restaurant area and there are no cocktail waitresses so you have to get them at one of the several bars inside. Not a big deal, just a bit inconvenient. read more
