    Service was super fast and our waiter Carissa was great! We came in on a Thursday around midday and it was pretty busy, but the service was still way quicker than we expected.My son ordered the 14-inch pancake, and we all got a kick out of how HUGE it was My daughter ordered the kids pancake, and even that was a good size! I ordered the meat omelet, but it was a little too greasy for me, so I ended up sending it back and having it taken off the bill.The rolls and hashbrowns were really good though! Overall, for the amount of food you get, the prices are very reasonable. The portions are definitely big, and we had a good experience. We would come back again to try more!

    If you are looking for a great breakfast place in Branson, this is it! Fabulous food, friendly service, big portions, whatever you are looking for, Billy Gail's has it all. Our server was great and was happy to give us recommendations from the menu. Absolutely everything we tried was delicious. One of my favorites was the huge biscuit and side of white gravy. This sausage gravy was so good! And, of course, the 14 inch pancakes were the bomb. My husband and I couldn't even finish half of that after all of the other deliciousness, but we made a good effort, lol. Don't miss out on Billy Gail's the next time you visit Branson!

    Fried fish
    Kristi S.

    We went with a very large group and we had a prefixed menu. My husband ordered the fish and it was delicious! I was low-key jealous however I was craving something sweet so I went with them giant pancake with hashbrowns and bacon. Very good. We had fantastic service, the food came out fast, and 36 people said they enjoyed their meals! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only downside is that the seats in both sides of our booth were broken down so when you sat down, your butt went straight to the wood. Absolutely no cushion at all, and you were about 6 inches shorter than you needed to be.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The food is awesome! Probably ONE of the very few places where you get great food for a reasonable price!!!! We had our 13 year old grandson with us....and even HE couldn't finish the HUGE pancake. Our waitress was fantastic!!! We were here during the week, mid-summer...and it is busy. But, we are from the DFW area....so, waiting to eat is commonplace for us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is inviting and everyone was helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] By far, one of the very few places that I would recommend you eat at when in Branson!!!!

    Pancake and bacon
    Scout R.

    The pancakes were so yummy! Usually hate places with big portions but this one doesn't disappoint. The bacon is also really yummy and the servers were so sweet! Make a stop here for breakfast

    Short stack.
    Dave L.

    Service was good. Regular stack of 2 pancakes fed 2 people easily and had enough leftovers for 3 additional meals. Food was tasty and filling. Highly recommend the pancakes.

    Lots of road and retail signs to look at.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]While you wait there are plenty of traffic signs and other local memorabilia on the walls to review here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But, our breakfast selection came up quickly, so there wasn't much of a wait. We two chose Billy Gayle's classic breakfast combo, which included its legendary 14-inch pancake, plus scrambled eggs, plus ham steak, plus a couple of slices of bacon, plus hash browns. That combo cost less than two standard entrées and was more than enough for two. Everything was well cooked; service was attentive. About that pancake: If you're not too hungry, a quarter of it is slightly smaller than the standard IHOP pancake, meaning one can feed multiple diners.

    Biscuits & Gravy Combo
    Christy S.

    We have visited another location, and were told that there was less of a crowd at this location. We were glad for that advice because there was no wait at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is just a fun place with great breakfast food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The item they are famous for is the giant vanilla pancake. It is not just a gimmick, it is really good! Their biscuits and gravy is also fantastic. We haven't tried anything that we didn't like. If you want a great breakfast, but don't want to wait in a long line, check out this location of Billy Gail's.

    Thanksgiving lunch (minus the pie)
    Angela S.

    We went in as a party of 7 on Thanksgiving day. We knew there would be a wait, but it wasn't bad! We arrived at 11 and were seated just before noon. They had an excellent Thanksgiving meal of ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, yams, stuffing, pie, oh MY! My daughters ordered the double chocolate pancake. They loved it too! Huge portions so dinner is covered. Parking is simple and I'd Highly recommend our server, Miss Pat. She is awesome!

    Pancakes and million dollar bacon are out of this world.

    EXCELLENT FOOD EXCELLENT SERVICE and our waitress ANGELA was OUT OF THIS WORLD. You must try the 3 way fried basket with chicken tenders, catfish, shrimp, hush puppies and fries. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I would move to Branson just for Billy Gail's.

    We drove by this location our first day in town and commented on how busy it was. I had seen reviews about this place and also recommendations on various Branson FB forums. The next morning, didn't feel like making breakfast over the campfire, and yogurt just wasn't cutting it, so I started searching for breakfast places when I remembered what I had seen about this place... and it just happened to be about 10 down the road from us. The parking lot was busy, but not as busy as the day before. I remember commenting, "I wonder how long the wait will be". Walk in and greeted enthusiastically. What a welcoming feeling. We're sat immediately. Then another thought, " we'll probably be waiting for a while before someone gets to us". Maybe it's not the best attitude to have... but most restaurants now are like that... unfortunately. To my surprise, our server greeted us within minutes of sitting down. She was so joyous and truly you could see she loved her job and loved what she was doing. I forget her name. :( we ordered while the kids colored and again... within minutes our food had arrived, and the food was delicious! My husband did devour the entire 14in cinnamon roll pancake... didn't even share with me. Hahah I got the campfire breakfast, delicious! Huge portions. I am not one to spend money on eating out for breakfast as I'm usually left feeling unsatisfied from bland boring food. I would happily return if we're ever in the area again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Delicious food, joyous energetic and welcoming atmosphere and ambiance. And amazing service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    14" pancake

    Really good food and the portions are HUGE! Biscuits & gravy was top notch. The sloppy biscuit was really good (I should've asked for jalapeños). The 14" pancake had awesome flavor and it was a fun treat. Our whole table split it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only complaint is that the restaurant was so warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Dessert! $7 per slice
    Catharine T.

    Billy Gail's in Branson definitely lives up to the hype. It's always packed, but they keep things moving and the service is quick even with the crowds. We got the sweet pancake and it was bigger than half our two-person table, no exaggeration. It's one of those "you have to see it to believe it" kind of dishes. We also ordered two buttermilk biscuits à la carte and they were huge, fluffy, and just as impressive. Portions here are massive across the board, so come hungry or plan to share. Prices are fair for the amount of food you get, which makes it an easy stop if you're looking for a fun, over-the-top breakfast experience.

That batter was amazing! Everything was cooked just right. However, the potato could have used more stuff on it. Don't scrimp on the butter, cheese, and sour cream. The server was the best! Angelica was so attentive, so helpful with choices, and such a wonderful young lady. Ask for her when you go. The thing that kept this review from being a five star was the hostess. She took our name and phone number, but didn't put our name on the list. After waiting outside in the heat for too long, we went in and asked how much longer and the manager couldn't find us. Not cool.

We are in Branson and after a show we wanted something to eat after a show. We chose Cheddars. It was very good. My fried chicken, gravy, and mashed potatoes was excellent. My wife had the vegetable plate and really enjoyed it. They bring a sweet cinnamon tart to the table right off. They were delicious. Again, the food was great, but even better...our server. Angelica was a treat with a beautiful smile. She was very attentive and pleasant. She is a student here from Romania. I wanted to give a big shout out to Angelica. We enjoyed our meal and walked out of there for 30 bucks.

There were 2 kiosks, one was broken and the other didn't work very well. As an employee if you saw customers struggling maybe offer to help? Or just keep talking to each other through your headphone things. The workers here chose the second option. The only staff member visible was cleaning (poorly) while telling the person on the other end of her headphones how the manager yelled at her for crumbs being left behind. "Well if he says anything tomorrow I'm going to tell him it was the customers here" while skipping a dirty table completely. Even with the worker "cleaning" the place felt dirty. Because it was. There were a couple flys around the soda machine, and a couple more by the two booths. I chose a table in the corner. There were a couple of dead bugs (small winged, not flies) on the windowsill) it was the only table that *looked* clean. 2 restrooms...one with an out of order sign. The food was fine I guess. I don't want to think about it too hard. There was ketchup on the outside of my burger wrapper...so that was fun to get on my hands just taking it off the tray. ‍ And for the record, I do like whataburger as a chain in general, but this one was rough. Oh and on the kiosk it asked about things like ketchup and sauces.... if you're going to let me add these things to the order please actually include them instead of me having to go ask for them. Or just keep them out?
