One bad experience was plenty - won't be back - waited for an hour for a mediocre breakfast - good thing that this is a tourist trap type of establishment - otherwise locals would not go there - even a long wait in an "off season" where Branson was not that busy. read more

2 hour wait. Can't be helped if the place is really great but it just wasn't. We ordered the fried green tomatoes which were sliced way too thin and the breading wouldn't stay on. They were soggy and sitting in grease. Everything was served at room temperature. The biscuits and gravy came out and the gravy had been on the plate long enough to cool off and coagulate and have a film over it before it was ever served to us. Nothing was exceptional. The service was good and they did give us free coffee while we were waiting but it was far too expensive for the quality of food. Disappointed after all the hype. I've had much better food in Branson so we probably won't be back. read more

Delicious! Had dinner there one night and breakfast the next morning. I had a classic cheeseburger and fries. For dinner my husband had the catfish and fries. For breakfast I had 2 eggs and sausage. My husband had the 14" blueberry pancakes. The atmosphere and the food are great! The waitress has very attentive both times. We will definitely go back. read more

I got the biscuits and gravy with the chicken breast and bacon,the chicken was over cooked so much I couldn't cut it with the knife and fork,and it was a thin piece of chicken. The biscuits and gravy were very good Service was excellent!! read more

Be prepared to wait! This place was jammed pack. We had to wait about an hour to be seated. To be fair, it was a Sunday morning, and most likely all the out of towners like me wanted a good recommendation and this was it. I enjoyed the rustic ambiance. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Wherever there is Monte Cristo served, I order it, and I am always 100% satisfied with it. And here, it was well worth it! I guess it's the saltiness of the grilled ham and cheese plus a fried egg (oh, yes) sandwich with the side of strawberry jam that always makes my mouth water. It was amazing! My daughters pancake was huge! And sharing is caring, so I was grateful my 7 year old decided to share it with me. I definitely would recommend this place if you want a chance to experience a good Monte Cristo, and see the biggest pancake ever served. Just be aware that you will most likely have a long wait! read more

Pretty darn good breakfast. Everyone was pleased with their food and they had the biggest pancakes I've ever seen. 40-minute wait to be seated but the service was good and there was lots of fun nostalgia as decor. Price was okay considering we brought home enough for another meal (including more than half of that pancake in a custom carry out pizza box). Suggest that you order less than you think you will need... read more

I like the service and was pretty impressed enough with Lisa, our server. The food was just ok, not great. Nothing to write home about. The 14" pancakes through were mind numbing, I could really only eat a small portion of it. Wish the "real food" was more of a pop rather than the fluff. read more

A great breakfast place. The food was good. I had one egg ,over easy and it was perfectly cooked. The ham was delicious and a very generous portion. Morris had 2 eggs and sausage with toast. I shared my hashbrowns. Excellent service. Friendly waitress who was quick on refills for coffee. Coffee was good. Clean and well kept. Quite a few families with children. Extra large booths to accommodate big groups. read more

Stopped here before our visit to silver Dollar City. Long wait but worth it I suppose. Food was delicious and the big pancake makes for an impressive photo to send to your friends. We were placed in a tight room where you're pretty much elbow to elbow with your neighbor. Service was good considering the amount of folks they shuffle through the place. Eat your fill and leave happy. read more

Stopped in on a Friday night around 4:30ish. Not busy, no wait. Were seated right away. Waitress was nice. A little slow with service, there was a larger table a few tables down that she seemed to know so she spent time chatting with them. Food was good. I loved their cole slaw. Ordered catfish We stopped back on the following Wednesday in the afternoon and did have to wait to be seated about 10ish minutes. Ordered the catfish that time too. Also got onion rings that time that were crazy greasy and looked like they had been cooking for days. read more

Went to Billy Gail's for the first time today on Thanksgiving day. Took the whole family. The wait was about 15 minutes total which wasn't bad at all. Inside the restaurant was nice decorated and we had a very nice waitress who was very attentive. I ordered a chef salad due to my Keto diet. My wife had French toast and chicken fried chicken steak, my daughter had biscuits gravy, eggs and hash-brown and many other daughter had the 14 inch pancake and a sausage patty. The girls loved their meals. The salad was ok. One thing for sure it is all big food. You will not leave starving unless you are trying. Prices we're good. My opinion is it was good and we will return. read more

Great spot for reasonable prices and good service. The catfish sandwhich was incredible. My kid had the 14" pancake and loved it... it is huge and we got two meals out of it. I had the 14" pancake and a fried chicken breast. The chicken was good but dry. Didn't bother me, however. My husband and I were both able to have breakfast off my leftovers! So, I would recommend splitting one meal, which will give you enough food to get full. Cheap meal! read more

This is a very popular place for breakfast so come early if you don't want to wait. When we first got there we were told 30 minutes but ended up not waiting long at all. The food was good. I ordered the stuffed French toast with bacon , egg, and cheese which I enjoyed every bite. The coffee was excellent and my waitress was very friendly. The pancakes are 14 inches so keep that in mind when ordering. My family ordered one which could feed like 4 people. I would definitely be back. read more

Found this little gem while traveling in Missouri. I loved everything! We were told to be prepared for a wait. When we arrived, we were told it would be about 30 minutes, but we were seated in about 10. The waitress quickly took our orders. There are so many choices it was hard to decide what to eat. I decided that I had to try the famous bacon. It didn't disappoint. I had the omelet with vegetables, hashbrowns, and a biscuit. The biscuit was so fresh it just crumbled in my hands. The french toast was loaded with flavors of vanilla and cinnamon. It was a lot of food, so make sure you go with an appetite. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. read more

The food was good large portions as you can see in the pictures. Now very very long wait times if you don't get there early. We had two teenage girls with us when we went they put us an hour plus past the time we wanted to get there and that helped us have an hour and thirteen minute wait to be seated. Service was good. This a one time stop just to say you did it place. read more

Great food-huge servings! They are happy for you to split, though! Group of 6 and no complaints!

Great food, large portions and it's a staple when you are hungry for breakfast in the Branson area.

I visited Billy Gail's on a recent trip to Branson, Mo. The food there is average, not a whole lot to write home about for me, but not bad either. Our waitress was as sweet as she could be, very accommodating and hospitable. I had the usual breakfast with a pancake that was surprisingly ginormous (covered the entire plate) so if you're a hearty eater with a huge appetite it is for you. The restaurant itself is reminiscent of an old log cabin with its walls covered with things that were on old tv shows like 'Bonanza, Gunsmoke and Little House on the Prairie'. I found it comfortable and pleasant to dine in. WARNING...it's not located on the strip although I believe one is being built on/near 76. As you journey through the hills, twists and turns of scenic Branson take time to breathe in the fresh air and really focus on your surroundings. It's off the beaten path so you'll have plenty of time to do so (it's about 20-30 minutes away from 76 depending on where you are staying). As many times as I've been to Branson I didn't realize just how VAST it REALLY is and how much MORE there is to explore. I get Uber excited each time I visit as I stumble upon places that I never imagined existed. What an adventure! I'm totally in love with this place. I'd recommend Billy Gail's just for the ride and good ole down-home hospitality. Add it to your list on your next trip to B-town and let your fellow Yelpers know what YOU think. See y'all! read more

The great reviews were on spot. The packed parking lot is your first clue to how good it really is. Manage your expectations of the wait time...this is a highly recommended restaurant in a tourist town (plus a local favorite), there will be a wait. If you are a bacon lover (I am) then the million dollar bacon is a must try! If you are craving pancakes, the 14 inch (it is as large as the plate) should hit the spot. It is a bit off the beaten path, but so worth the drive and the wait! read more

Very good breakfast and very feeling . Service was great and very cute atmosphere.we try to go here every time we go to Branson read more

Ok first off breakfast looks legit, but we came for lunch... the kiddo pancake is bigger than your head and the normal pancake..... you won't be walking home anytime soon... The wife got the chicken wings and said even though they had a bit of kick the smoked crispy rds was spot on! Kiddo got the chicken tenders and the looked home made and good. I got the smoked tri tip and bbq chips and man was it good. They even give you creamy horse radish and it was smoked awesomeness... I'd say they make their own bread bc that was too good to be store bought unless it's a good bakery... and the chips were done just right and still warm which is they way they r supposed to be! My only wish was some au jus, heck some onion soup would be ok.... Next time I'm stopping in for breakfast! read more

Absolutely delicious! Our neighbor had recommended Billy Gail's and I had seen it on TikTok, so I made sure we went here. There were four in our party and they got us seated in about 30 minutes, which given the line, was pretty quick. Obviously the portion sizes were huge, but it was delicious too! Some times you go to places like this and it's just about the awe factor, but that wasn't the case here. The chocolate chip pancake not only had chocolate chips IN it but ON it as well. And the service was great. Our server was delightful and prompt. She was always there when we needed her. read more

I had a seven hour drive ahead of me and I wanted a big breakfast to get me through the day. Stopped here because I was enticed by the 14" pancake and it did not disappoint.

If you are looking for a great breakfast at a reasonable price, look no further! It's a don't judge a book by it's cover kind of place. Or do if you think the best food comes from divey looking places. The pancakes are the size of hubcaps! It's small and quaint inside so expect a wait. We waited on benches inside and out front. We chatted with lots of travelers while we waited. Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota and Canada. Customer's clapped and high fived a guy for his 'Let's Go Brandon' sweatshirt. There are only 2 restrooms and they stay pretty busy. The menu has lots of options every we ordered didn't If a country breakfast is calling your name Everything was delicious! read more

Food was cold. Couldn't find my egg in the sloppy biscuit. The sausage had good flavor and the hash browns were nice and crunchy. But cold Billion $ bacon was huge disappointment. $8 for 4 slices of bacon with syrup poured on plate. Good looking toast but was served cold and dry with cold butter. Would definitely not recommend this as a splurge when wanting to avoid hotel breakfast. read more

Great food and service from Billy Gail's once again! My parents and I don't come to Branson often but when we do, we have to stop here for breakfast. Usually a wait no matter when we go, but it's always worth it! Service is quick and atmosphere is comfortable and fun, but tables and customers are a bit smooshed together- doesn't bother or stop us from dining! read more
