Chicken Tender Basket cornbread and sweet potato fries
Kourtney Y.

Come hungry, leave in a wheelbarrow. These portions are enormous so you're definitely getting your money's worth! When you walk in, there's a small waiting area with some trinkets and shirts. The dining room has large tables in the middle and some booths along the windows. Despite it being busy, the noise level was very reasonable. Jocelyn was our server and she was awesome. Very attentive and helpful despite having several tables. The food was delicious, but so filling. I'm not usually a corn bread person, but this was incredible and with the honey butter spread .. wow. Also- the cheesecake was the best I've had, hands down. Even better than the establishment known for cheesecake Edit: We came back for breakfast the next morning and weren't disappointed with breakfast, either. The pancake is still shockingly large despite knowing it's a 14" cake. It's hands down the best pancake I've had. Usually they're just bread to me, but this one was delicious even without butter or syrup. Make sure to order their special bacon if you want to try it- the menu says bacon, but it's just traditional bacon unless otherwise specified.

Birthday Pancake
Jai S.

We loved this place! It was so delicious!!! Everything was HUGE (they are known for bigger portions sizes)! The service was amazing & they also gave us a free birthday confetti pancake! Yummy! It was a HUGE establishment, but wait times can vary from 30 up to 2 hours on waiting when busy! (Very much a tourist attraction)!

Day one of our vacation, we came around 8am for breakfast--WOW! First of all, the service was top-notch. Zero complaints. As a matter of fact, every worker we came across seemed genuinely happy to be there. 10/10. This is a great casual joint serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day long. The decor and local nostalgia make you feel like you're experiencing something really special, like a true Branson local. The food was also delicious. I opted for a classic breakfast (Gail's ranch breakfast) and everything was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend got the tri tip sandwich, which I also tried, and it was FABULOUS. They know how to smoke some meat! All in all I would highly recommend!!

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.

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!

Inside
Pam W.

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!

Country Fried Steak Combo
Zane G.

Nothing other to say other than... this place is awesome. Our server Barbara was attentive and always kept our drinks filled. If I have to recommend a plate... the chicken fried steak is legitimately fantastic. HUGE!! But the batter is perfect, and meat is well seasoned. Highly recommend this place to anyone! Enjoy!

Lots of road and retail signs to look at.
Michael S.

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.

Pulled pork burrito and cheese curds

Service is great, but this is the worst food I have ever about had. I got the pulled pork burrito, so much egg and no meat except for the little they give you on the top of your burrito. My husband got the donut burger which he only ended up eating the patty lol. Cheese curds were okay, and potatoes were okay. Much better places to go

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.

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!

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.

The check in process was lengthy Make sure that you advise you fill out a vehicle registration on line. My check in did not mention the vehicle registration and I received a violation for $75 for not registering my vehicle from a third party vendor. I stay at a lot of hotels and they always advise if a vehicle needs registration at check in and usually provide a marker to identify the vehicle. This turned a nice getaway into a bad experience. Bad way to run a resort

Staff ? Ozark friendly. Are they sincere? Don't know. They ARE all well trained…read more Rooms are tacky. Towels old. Frayed. It's an old school atrium type hotel with glass elevators. This design fell out of favor years ago but I love it. Nice water features inside. Parking? Worst system ever. Not worth explaining. Just a convoluted hassle. Not very "Ozark friendly" thats fer sure! I was exhausted after my 8 hr drive from Chicago and had to go BACK OUT across the vast parking lot in the pitch black Missouri darkness with a QR CODE card they gave me to pay for parking. Etc. AWFUL! "And if I don't?" "We'll give you an 80$ ticket." FAIL! Room was around 300$ for 2 nights. Parking EXTRA. (The parking cost this review 2 stars off.)

The waitresses are attentive and keep your coffee cup full. I especially want to note; at both lunch and breakfast i saw their people taking food temperatures on the buffet. That is a first anywhere. Plus i saw it at both meals. That means they take food safety very seriously. Yes, my favorite and i highly recommend.

I was here…read moreat the same time at watched the staff killing themselves with two bus loads of kids in addition to massive amounts of adults. Every tray was carried for every diner with a greeting and a smile. What I saw was hard-working people keeping every drink full. The guys behind the buffet had to constantly deal with kids standing in the way as they carried hot food from the kitchen. No one was rude or even short with anyone patrons. My waitress, Jacqueline, was so very sweet. She kept my drinks full and got me extra plates. Don't listen to the hateful comments on here. This place had great, fresh food with awesome service. I plan to always come back in the future. Next time I'll try the omelet station. It looked amazing!

Finally made it to this well known establishment! Arrived without reservations and had an hour…read morewait, but we were ok with that as there are so many things to look at. Housed inside this venue is a gift shop with items made by the students here, a seating area to enjoy a coffee and snack or an ice cream from the insight ice cream counter! At the one end there is a museum to browse with many interesting articles to read and items to look at. So the wait went fast! Once called for our table we were greeted with the friendliest hostess and shown to our table. She handed each of us our menus and opened them for us. Our waitress, Abigail, was knowledgeable and provided details on the menu items we had questions about. The Fried Pork Belly starter was a table favorite! So tender and full of flavor. The Founders Burger was cooked perfectly and had an amazing brioche bun. Shrimp and Grits had okra in it if that's not your thing. Lastly, the Braised Short Rib served in mashed potato with asparagus. This was a huge portion and the short rib was so delicious. Our table did our ice cream for dessert and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend! We visit the area often and will definitely be back to try more of the menu items. It's a must if in the Branson area and well worth the wait. This restaurant is at College of the Ozarks and students work at this farm to table establishment as well as making items that are for sale in the shops. There is a candle and stained glass shop to drive too and other activities.
