I had the fried shrimp with onion rings and salad. The salad bar is well supplied and the croutons are homemade and wonderful. The shrimp was fried perfectly and the onion rings were very good. I highly recommend! read more

Very cool experience. We have driven by this place many times but never realized it was a restaurant until seeing reviews on Yelp. We stopped in this past weekend and it was awesome! Fried zucchini is about as fresh as you can get! I had the chicken fried steak with onion rings and beans. Wife had chicken fried chicken with potatoes and broccoli rice casserole. Everything was fantastic! Also picked up a piece of coconut pie to take home. Highly recommend this place. Home cooking at its finest. It was a Saturday around dinner time and it was very crowded! read more

Pulled up to the livestock auction house and thought for sure I was lost. I was starving so am glad that I opened the door and confirmed the existence of this gem. Walking into the building you wouldn't think much of the place, but once you get into the restaurant you feel like you are in a typical Texas roadhouse. Cozy, warm, homey, and delightful all around. I asked the waiter if the burger was cooked properly or the Houston style (burnt to a crisp and disgusting). Fortunately, being so far away from Houston, I was assured the burger would be nice and juicy: indeed it was. Fresh cut, perfectly fried okra alongside a juicy burger made this meal perfect. I wish I could give this place a diamond rating. Texas Michelin Star Worthy for sure. Got to meet Billy as well. True gentleman. I'll be back, even though it's a 5 hour round trip visit, this place is nestled amongst some beautiful countryside. So very happy I stumbled upon this true gem read more

Wow! Met some friends from Killeen "half way between" them & us in Jacksonville, TX. What a treat! Great friendly service, good prices and WONDERFUL food. Such an unexpected treat! I would drive 90 miles any day for their onion rings! It was spectacular! read more

Food and service were both great. Highly recommend the Philly cheesesteak and the fried catfish.

Hidden gem inside the sale barn, or livestock auction building for those of you who aren't as country as me. Despite its unassuming appearance, this is literally one of my favorite place to eat of all the places I've ever been. We've been coming here since we moved out to the area about two years ago and I've not had a bad meal yet. And they're always playing the best country music from like the 80s and 90s. Perfect! Literally everything on the menu is great. Chicken fries, Gulf shrimp, steaks, burgers--it's all good! Their salad bar features homemade dressings and croutons as well as coleslaw and usually one other type of "salad" like pickled veggies or macaroni salad or what have you. And don't get me started on the fried pickles. Delicious! But you gotta save room for dessert, too. In fact, if you see something you like in the dessert case when you sit down, order it then because there may not be any left by the time you're done with your entree. My personal faves are the cinnamon rolls and coconut pie. All that wonderful food is brought to you by a regular staff of about four. These ladies and gentlemen are kind, friendly, fun and good at their jobs. Food is always hot, drinks never run dry and everything is delivered with a smile. You know it's not just a good place to eat but a good place to work when the same folks wait on you for years. Couple of tips: it's BYOB if you'd like an alcoholic beverage with your meal. And it's a small place, so it can get a little noisy at peak times. If you've got a hard of hearing diner, try to seat them in one of the booths with their backs against the wall. The decorative wall dividers help muffle the noise a bit for him or her. See you at the sale barn! read more

The good: - The steak tasted yummy and was not dry. - The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. - The small salad bar was good with homemade croutons. - The rolls were TO DIE FOR! - My husband really liked the green beans. The bad: - There was nobody at the entrance, so we had to figure out where the entrance to the dinner was. - Other dinners had to tell us that we can sit anywhere. - The fries tasted like fish and they were stone cold. - Both mine and my husband's steaks were overcooked. read more

Billy B's - 8oz sirloin and fries - Comfort Food Near Me - Groesbeck, Texas

After looking at property at Lake Limestone we decided to try this place as it was highly rated. Don't let the outside appearance fool you it's a gem inside. Home cooking at its best. We started off with potato skins that were the best I've seen. Plenty of cheese, onions, bacon and homemade ranch dressing. My fried catfish was excellent with a side of onion rings and mac-n-cheese. My wife had the senior size catfish plate and could not finish - too much. Our daughter had the chicken fried chicken and she could not finish it either it was so big. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was superb and provided by Bubba. Oh and btw we got a single slice of coconut cream pie to go and enjoy when we got home it was outstanding. We'll be back!!!! read more

On our way to a Dallas Cowboys game we stopped in Goesbeck, Texas to split up the drive. We had seen the yelp write up on Billy B's and thought we would give it a try. It's not what you would expect! It was rustic, the people were all locals and treated us like we were from there! The atmosphere was soooo friendly, I mean everyone said hi like they knew us! But the food!! OMG it was incredible! The wife got a hanger steak that melted in your mouth and I got a Philly Cheesesteak that was literally the best cheesesteak I've ever had! This place is so worth the drive! read more

All in all, you'll never go wrong here. They have Ana amazing staff, great food and don't forget BYOB!

Yelp has this place as temporarily closed but they are actually back open and running. The servers were great and very prompt, the place has a really nice local atmosphere and the burger was very good for a small town joint. It's a local staple for a reason, definitely stop by here if you're in the area. read more

We have been waiting for 45 mins and still not seated. I heard the food was good but I feel like I am going to pass out before I get to try it. After waiting almost an hour we got in the food was okay and service was great. Well I come back ? I don't know right now read more

Went to Grosbeak on an errand, my normal place was closed so I asked for a recommendation. What a great place the food is wonderful! We got seafood a Chicken fried steak and the Chicken sandwich everything was delicious big portions a served quickly. Great service and everyone was so friendly they decorated for Halloween which was great. The biggest part was the Wait Staff all of them were very attentive and helpful would recommend this place to anyone. Get the Apple crumb pie!!!! read more

Easily in the top 5 burgers in Texas. The burger is hot with a bun that is a tad sweet and it compliments the burger perfectly. The salad bar is a great substitute for fries... and let me tell you about those croutons.. I almost took the entire basket with me. The wait staff is excellent and super friendly. They are always around and take excellent care of their customers. To finish it off they have an excellent selection of homemade pie to take with you or eat in. You have got to give this place a try and you will not be disappointed! read more

Food was good but you are eating next to the livestock. It takes about 10-15 minutes for the smell to not be an issue. Got the pie to go!!

The best chicken fried steak within 50 miles. Family visiting from Washington ordered fried jalapeno peppers and said it was the best he ever ate. Still raving. Don't let the front of the building fool you. They have the best food in the entire area. Large portions too. Try the salad bar. Very fresh & great selections. The service was outstanding. Fast service and friendly smiles from everyone. Our "to go" place. read more

Always delicious food. Every time. I've tried the jumbo fried shrimp, chicken salad sandwich and grilled chicken sandwich. Get the salad bar as one of the sides.. their pickled tomatoes and okra are to die for!!! Food is always homemade fresh served by friendly folks in an old barn setting. Highly recommend this place! read more

Nice surprise! Never would have known the restaurant was there if I hadn't looked for a place on Yelp! Friendly staff and clean, cute restaurant. We started with the salad bar. There were a few people that were loading up before it was our turn so the lettuce and other items were out. I asked the server for lettuce and she was great! The salad bar was replenished in two minutes. Nice selection of items, dressings and awesome croutons! I decided to try the fried chicken. Oh my! Great chicken, gravy was amazing, nice soft roll and pretty good fried okra. BIG portion! Plenty of left overs. I would definitely order again! Husband ordered the shrimp -large order. He requested 5 grilled and 5 fried shrimps with beans and coleslaw. Shrimps were good. He enjoyed the beans and coleslaw was great! We ordered chicken strips to go for our dogs. When we got home and opened the to go box we were surprised at how big the order was! Enough food for two days for our monster dogs! We would eat here again! Don't let the exterior fool you. Very good eats!! : ) read more

Driving back roads to avoid the construction on IH-35 in Waco, we went through Groesbeck at about lunch time. Using Yelp, it seemed that Billy B's might be a good choice. That is an understatement. The food, service and atmosphere were all outstanding. If it wasn't cheating, I'd write two reviews to give them 10 stars. No exaggeration, this will now be our standard route when we head to the Antique Rose Emporium in Independence. read more

Very friendly. A definite cultural experience! No alcohol sold - BYOB!!! Wish I had known.

This is by far the best restaurant in the Groesbeck area. The food is delicious, large portions, large variety, and ample portions. They are know for their baked goods pies, cakes etc prepared by the dual owner to Billy B his wife. They are incredible . Be sure to to stop by. read more

This place is awesome and definitely will be back when in the area. It's a easy stop between Dallas and college station. The chicken fried chicken and onion rings were wonderful and would order again. The service couldn't have been nicer and the added entertainment of watching steer auction only added additional value to the experience. read more

If we are within about 30 miles of this place, WE WILL MAKE A STOP!!! We eat here everytime we rodeo here. Good homemade (literally), and cheap!! Cute little place inside the sale barn. Yes, inside the cattle sale barn, you got that right. The fried pickles are best I've ever had. Great chicken fried steaks, my husband and I often split it. My 8 year old daughter likes the catfish. Good stuff here!! Promise!! read more

This is one of those places that you hear about via word of mouth or only know about if you're a local. The cafe is located inside of a sale barn (livestock auction barn), and the signage is such that you would have no idea it was in there if you weren't looking pretty hard for it. But once you get inside, it's the epitome of what you might imagine a Texan home cookin' cafe to be. The walls are decorated with country and cowpoke paraphernalia and are made out of tin siding. Everyone knows everyone and it's only open a few days a week, so the place is always pretty full. The food is cheap, plentiful, and delicious. I ordered the grilled catfish with roasted vegetables, trying to at least have some semblance of healthiness to balance out the hush puppy, cole slaw, and potato salad I indulged in. The portions are huge so either come hungry or prepare to take home some leftovers. I was too stuffed to try the desserts but they looked decadent. read more

Great grilled chicken sandwich! There is no exterior sign that says Billy Bs, and Google map directions aren't quite accurate, but we found it anyway! It was worth the u-turn! read more

We were told by a dear friend to give the "Auction Barn" a try. We discovered that this was another name for Billy B's. On 11/13/20 we made up our minds to GPS this establishment. We were happily impressed by the amazing food, service and atmosphere. My wife and I will return to this amazing restaurant as soon as possible. Portions were incredibly big and the food was seasoned to perfection. I had a mouth watering pork chop and my wife could not finish her large and tasty chicken fried steak. Do not hesitate to sponsor one of Groesbeck's greatest treasures. Thank you. read more

It doesn't look like much at all from the exterior, but the food is superior. The cafe is part of a cattle auction facility which adds to the charm. Our party had catfish, chicken fried steak (crispy and cooked to perfection, chicken fried chicken and accompanying vegetables and bread. This place was better then any place I've experienced in Austin. Even though you will be full, don't leave without sampling the pies. We had the coconut cream and German chocolate. Amazing!! read more

Do not let the entrance to the restaurant deter you. It's a bit different. This place was awesome. We were in town to look at lake property. I read the reviews and everyone was correct. Great food. Super friendly staff and very accommodating. Chicken fried steak was huge, gravy was super, Mac and cheese was yummy and the green beans were clearly cooked in all things bacon. Highly recommend! read more
