    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.

    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.

    Pancake and bacon

    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

    Thanksgiving lunch (minus the pie)

    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!

    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!

    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

    The food, service, and friendly people were great. Just keep in mind the pancakes are enormous as well as very tasty!

    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!

    Cinnamon Roll Pancake chocolate chip pancake

    Yes!! Great service and the pancakes were to die for! So big and sweet we definitely could've split one but we both wanted to try a different one!

    Poorly run restaurant
    Veronica G.

    Lack luster service, and the poorly run , zero service excellence.We made a call a head reservation at 10:20 am for 7 people, the hostess that answered the phone read the information back to me and confirmed my telephone number , they told us 1 hr . We arrive and they said they said we were not on the wait list . Then processed to tell us they were 59 tables a head of us .

    Decor
    Tamia L.

    Huge portions no matter what you order! Decor is themed rustic with classic signs and quotes hanging everywhere. It was rainy and parking is a huge lot not paved, all rocks.. be prepared to wait especially on summer weekends! We got in and was seated at a side bar to the lobby... only 2 seats not very comfortable. We tried to get reseated but no luck because of how busy they were. Never agree to these seats! Food was good and hot. Locals somewhat friendly

There were 4 of us, we entered bldg to find a waiting line. No big deal, it honestly didn't take long to get seated. We were waited on promptly and our server was good. I wanted to try a waffle, others in the group had pancakes. I ordered hot tea to drink and the hot water came in one of those little metal pitchers. Drinks came quickly and so did the food for as crowded as the place was. The food was good, kids enjoyed their pancakes. My waffle was really good, crunchy outside and chewy inside. When our food was brought our server also refilled drinks. He brought a larger insulated pitcher with more hot water for my tea. I appreciated that, until I used some of the water. One could tell they also used it for coffee, and therefore my hot tea tasted not good, I could pick up the coffee flavor. It was a good breakfast all in all. Portions were good size. Now, I would like to address owners/mgmt. Please do not state, in many places on your menu, that warm MAPLE syrup is served with your menu options. It was warm, but please change the wording to "pancake syrup", for that's what it was, plain old pancake syrup. No maple flavor in it whatsoever, not even yucky imitation maple flavoring. I would come back in the future and would recommend this restaurant to folks. But next time I'll get Biscuits and Gravy

We really enjoyed the apple butter! And dessert is not to be missed. We had the apple pie, and it was delicious, and more than enough for the two of us.

The dining hall is beautifully adorned with cabin-esque motif and overlooks the campus and mountains. 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.
