    Cinnamon roll pancake
    Michelle H.

    Let me tell you I'm a huge breakfast fan! I LOOOVE a good breakfast. I was in Branson for spring break, and Billy Gail's Ultimate Breakfast Combo is my favorite thing I ate for my whole time in Branson. I chose bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and a French toast pancake. I had enough for 2 meals. It was very delicious, and I'm a breakfast snob. My brother had the cinnamon roll pancake and loved it. There were 9 of us, ages 9-77, and everyone enjoyed their meals.

    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! 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.

    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.

    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. This is just a fun place with great breakfast food. 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.

    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. Delicious food, joyous energetic and welcoming atmosphere and ambiance. And amazing service!

    Lots of road and retail signs to look at.

    While you wait there are plenty of traffic signs and other local memorabilia on the walls to review here. 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.

    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!

    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.

    Our friend Andrew took us to Billy Gail's saying he goes here every year on his way home from Branson. He called it a must-do and warned us of the long wait times. We arrived around 8:40am on a Sunday in November and there was a 45 minute wait for our party of 6. We drank our complimentary coffee in styrofoam cups while we waited. The wait flew by, for me anyway. And once we were seat, our waitress was super fast, friendly, helpful and kind. We ordered more coffee and waters. Each couple had a pancake to share (and ultimately take home). Along with delicious eggs, various breakfast meats, and biscuits. A must-do in Branson!

    Smokehouse Burger

    This was our second time visiting this restaurant, however our first time at this specific location. It looks like the location we previously went to remodel, so we opted to visit one instead. The service was very good and they had so many workers so nothing went undone. I think that is amazing because there was something/someone being tended to at every moment. I also love how they all work together. The restaurant is very large on the inside almost resembles a well decorated warehouse. There was plenty of parking, so that definitely wasn't an issue, it was like in a plaza of sort. On the phone really good and fresh. The portions were huge as we experienced last time so I didn't expect anything less.

    My wife and I went here for lunch today, right about at 12 o'clock noon. The place was pretty busy, but we were seated fairly quickly and we didn't have to wait too long for a waitress to show up. Both getting our drink order and then coming back for our food order she should have been a little quicker, but it wasn't that big a deal.. She was very good, friendly and she took very good care of my wife The food came out pretty quickly and it was good. I had eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and a biscuit. The only problem I noted was that the hashbrowns, while they were crispy, like I like them, They were rehydrated. They were not "real" potatoes. My wife had a salad and it was beautiful, tasteful and huge I love breakfast for any meal, so even with the hashbrowns like that I still loved the meal. The decor is very country on the cusp of being a little hokey. This is a huge restaurant, lots of people, and evidently run exceptionally well. Definitely this is a go to place for breakfast, and when we come back to Branson, I will eat here again

    1 Pound Ham Breakfast
    Jennifer L.

    We went for breakfast and the food was delicious! The portions are otherworldly! We got there around 9am and had to wait about 40 minutes to be seated. Our server Pat was amazing - friendly, attentive and efficient. Know that the portions are so large you can share. The pancake was like the size of a hubcap. It's a bit pricey. Everything was great and it was a wonderful experience. Will be back!

They also have a kids' menu, even though it is not listed on the regular menu, which is nice to know if you are bringing children with you. The staff is always awesome, friendly, and welcoming. I also love that the restaurant is located inside an old historic hotel, which gives it such a cool atmosphere -- and maybe even a few ghost stories. Overall, it is a great spot with good food, great service, and a fun historic feel. I definitely recommend checking it out.

The poutine was fabulous. The fry coating was crisp and tasty and the gravy was full of flavor. The Reuben sandwich is outstanding! The way they cut that corned beef was nothing short of magic. An egg on there? What? I've never heard of such a thing, but yes please. And I had the brûlée corn; which I may need to learn how to replicate because I've never seen this on any menu in Chicago, but it's too far to travel as often as I'll be thinking about that dish! The old fashions were smooth! Went with vanilla and loved the subtle flavors. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was a delightful mix of old school pub/English castle. All of it was just what I was hoping to find. Food off the beaten path that deserves a huge shout out. In a town of bland flavors, this place shines like a real gem!

The menu has a great variety and notes items that are made by the students (e.g. butters and cakes). Their complimentary, fresh made bread basket with three types of butters was a fantastic start to the meal. We ordered the mushroom soup, the pork belly sandwich w/ fries, and the shrimp and grits. I will say that the pork belly po' boy was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life! I almost stayed in town longer on the second day just to order it again. The pork belly was smoky, tender, and sweet and paired so well with the grain mustard, pickled onions and arugula -- superb balance of flavors. My husband also noted the shrimp and grits was some of the best he's ever had. The shrimp and pork belly in the dish were perfectly cooked and the Cajun spices were well balanced. And we have to tell you to try their fresh desserts. The brown butter chocolate cake was a special ending to the meal. This is an excellent stop and our student server provided excellent service - they're doing a great job there and is a highly recommended of ours during your stop during your visit to Branson.
