We came here on our way home from Branson and we could not have made a better decision. We love trying local restaurants and, although this is a chain, it is a local one. We had to try one of their pancakes but we also asked about the French Cake on the menu. We were told it is one of their famous pancakes dredged in their French toast batter and grilled. We had to try it! It was delicious and I don't think I will be able to eat a pancake any other way from now on! All the other food was good but really just your standard breakfast fare. The atmosphere is fun and comfortable and the service is very efficient and friendly. read more

This is our second time dining at Billy Gail's but 1st time at this location ( also Branson ) Both locations have been nothing short of amazing due to 1) Great service 2) comfortable atmosphere 3) Great food 4) Large portions 5) Fair prices We ordered the Ultimate Breakfast combo w a 14 inch Pancake & the BBQ Pulled Pork 5 Egg Omelette w Hash Browns. Everything was outstanding, especially the BBQ Pulled Pork. The 5 Egg Omelette & the 14 inch Pancake are a must try for those with larger appetites. I can honestly say Billy Gail's is our favorite Breakfast restaurant of all time. I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Comimg into town we saw Billy Gail's right off our exit. We were eeady for breakfast and the daughter-in-law to be had not been. We had been to the Branson location. They didn't fail us. Food was delicious and portions huge. Decor is all sorts of old stuff and signs all over the walss and ceiling. Between us we got 1 biscuit and gravy, Monte Cristo, bacon/egg/chheese on sour dough and the Sloopy Chicken and Biscuits. The hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. The Monte Cristo had the sweet and salty vide. The biscuit nice and fluffy with excellent gravy. The combo of flavors in the sloopy chicken and biscuits was perfect. If you ask for hot sauce, rhey didn't seem to offer theor own as an option... ask for theirs. It's spicy garlic and it's amazing. You better go hungry for sure. read more

Always great. A better choice then Lamberts. Never had a bad breakfast or lunch here.

I'd give our experience at Billy Gail's a solid 4 stars. We were in our way home from Silver Dollar City and wanted a quick place to eat. We stopped in tonight (a Saturday evening), were seated right away, and ordered quickly. We all ordered Breakfast foods and it came out quickly, too. The food was delicious and holy moly, we were not prepared at how huge the pancake was for my son! The decor was wild, but definitely fit the theme. There weren't a ton of people there, but still quite a few and we had a good dining experience. The bathrooms were clean and actually smelled good. We'd eat here again. read more

Stopped for breakfast on a Friday morning wasn't busy at all we soon found out why! The menu looks amazing the food came out looking amazing! Huge portions but one bite of the hash browns and all of us were like yuck! Even the scrambled eggs and sausage tasted disgusting. What ever they fry their food in was gross. Maybe used too many times and needed to be changed. We ended up throwing most of it away. Even the sourdough bread was stale! Do not recommend this place at all. read more

Exactly what you would expect. Large Americana portions, service was friendly and helpful. Nothing to complain about and obviously not mind-blowing but why would you expect that? Worth it to split. read more

I always liked the old place when Gail owned it....but...this place is being corporatized and (not) keep true to a quality product. It is disappointing to see how this new company is approaching the tradition of Billy Gail's. The atmosphere is really kinda neat. The place is kept clean and tidy. The service was even very good. But now for the food experience: - hash browns: a thinner cut and they look to be a nice change of hash brown. But, never cooked enough. And the hash browns have some weird rubbery type chew. They do not eat like a true fresh has brown. - sausage patty: Very low grade and lousy sausage they're using. - eggs: order medium....they came out with non-cooked egg whites. And the place wasn't even busy...to be so slammed. - chicken fried steak: certainly big enough portion. But I sure hope you like pepper and salt...as it has boatloads of both on the breading. I mean boatloads. - breakfast gravy: it's ok at best....but again....not anything special or more refined tasting. This place I'd say, is set up for the casual tourist in town and fleece a little money. This isn't something worth being a local and going to on a regular basis. read more

Lived in Ozark for several years now and finally tried Billy Gail's. Kept seeing that pancake, and I like a good pancake. Sadly, it's nothing special. It was just okay. The hashbrowns could have been cooked a little more, but that is just my personal preference. Eggs were cooked just how I like them, coffee was basic. Boyfriend said his food was good overall. Nothing to write home about. The decor was interesting with all the signs. The servers were pleasant and friendly. We went around 930am on a Sunday and we had no wait for a table. People were waiting around 10am when we left. read more

This was an interesting stop with friends. First, the decor is very unique and interesting. Our server was super friendly and quickly brought our drinks. The menu is largely breakfast items, it they do have lunch items as well as dinner. I settled on the patty melt with fries. Our table ordered one big pancake. The food arrived and was nice and hot. The patty melt wasn't anything special, in fact kind of bland. The fries were just basic frozen French fries. The pancake was nice and fluffy. Service remained great and my coffee kept getting refilled. read more

Aug 8th, Omelette was just ok, not very tasty. It was supposed to be a 5 egg omelette, but was way smaller than I thought. Food wasn't all that great, just not that good. Maybe it was a off morning. read more

I love the food, service and ambiance of this place. Heads up, there are large portions. One pancake can feed the whole family.

Good Lord wear your overalls so you can unbutton the sides! The food is fantastic but one order will feed a small family, the 5 egg omelet is delicious and the pancake that came straight from Uncle Bucks house are very good. I have never had an issue with the food. You could spend a lot of time just looking at the nostalgic items everywhere, it really is a great environment for having breakfast or lunch. Service really depends on who you get and time of day you show up. If you show up later in the day the servers seem more inconvenienced because your creating more work for them to do. So definitely go in the morning when they are more pleasant and attentive! read more

Parking is easy. Plenty. Service is awesome. So friendly. Walked in and table was immediately available on a Sunday morning. Food is delicious. The biscuit and gravy was my favorite. The right consistency, flavorful, chunks of sausage. Delish! The eggs with sausage and hash brown was good. Plenty of flavor. Not greasy. Solid breakfast choice. Recommend. read more

Visiting the area and decided to try this place based on Yelp reviews. This is an interesting restaurant! There are 2 statues out front that are great for photo ops....Shoney' Big Boy and a Chicken. There is different merchandise for sale like shirts and mugs as you walk inside. There is plenty of seating but this place is hopping! I can see how there could easily be a wait here. The servers and service was friendly. The portions are huge! You could easily share a plate. The kids plates have adult size portions. The food is definitely comfort food. Everything we had was delicious! read more

Nice place for a meal with a country cafe type of vibe. They even have a small gift shop at the front (fyi - it's hard to avoid if you have kids). VERY large plates of food with reasonable pricing. We've eaten here a few times on our way home from Branson. I've ordered the grits breakfast every time and really enjoyed it. Their grits are a nice texture and I've upgraded mine with cheese. Hubby ordered the ham breakfast on our last visit and as you can see the ham steak was HUGE!!! He said the flavor was really good as well. Service has always been good, food has been good. I'd definately go back. I'd like to try the huge 14" pancake one day when I'm with a group that can share it with me :) read more

We have eaten at Billy Gail's in Ozark many many times because the food is consistently good along with outstanding service ( we love to get waited on by Katie, ) she has a bright smile and is so helpful when suggesting food on the menu. Thumbs up for a good dinning experience. Jerry Mayberry read more

Our food was not good. I had the fried fish and it wash mushy. The rest of the group just shrugged their shoulders when I asked their opinion. As for breakfast, I have no idea who voted them best pancakes..... would not recommend. read more

Great food,Service and the ambiance should come with a fishing pole because you feel like your on the Lake.

We came in for Breakfast and had an absolutely amazing server named Ivy! she was attentive, informative, and had a great personality. She even gave us some great tips on navigating Silver Dollar city which we were headed to right after breakfast. We ordered a mix of Breakfast items ranging from Chicken Fried Steak and eggs to Pamcakes and Bacon. As a whole the meals were all really good. Our only complaint would be about the cold old home fried potatoes which were really the only disappointment on any of our plates. The service here is really fast and that makes for a great stop when you're on the road! We will be back again real soon! read more

NO STANDARDS, food was cold! Very disappointing! We got breakfast and eggs were hard and cold, hash browns were barely cooked and cold, nothing worse than cold potatoes. Pulled pork was burnt and stringy! $50 dollars later for 2 people, I hated wasting my money on this garbage but I just wanted to be done and get out! read more

Expect a wait during peak times...but the food it worth it! 1 lb. Mighty Tenderloin Sandwich with onion rings 3 Way Basket (2 pieces of catfish, 2 chicken tenders, 4 fried shrimp) with fries and fried okra Had about a 30 min wait, but they give you a buzzer and the wait didn't really seem that long. We were blessed with a nice day so we just waited outside the front door on a bench. I got the ring pieces at the end of the bag. The guy sitting at the next table got the last of the full rings... I can live with that. Lol Service was good and so was the food. HUGE portions and the prices were reasonable. Loved the seasoning in the tenderloin's breading! read more

We came for lunch and ordered a mix of breakfast and lunch dishes. The catfish basket was so good. Lovely little hush puppies! Catfish was perfectly fried. Sweet potato fries hit the spot. Our daughter enjoyed her French toast as well. The decor is eclectic, even outside! When I took our daughter to the restroom, she got distracted by the little toys and gadgets available for sale nearby. Fun place! read more

Food and drinks awful. Bill over 100 and food was so bland and over cooked. I shouldn't even paid the bill. Service awful. My husband got Bloody Mary and took two sips and didnt drink anymore and he will normally drink several. Been Branson dozen times thought I'd give this try as it had someone for everyone. I will never go back. Order wrong when came out missing items and then brought missing items out and fries cold and hard, sausage cold and over cooked. Don't waste your time or money on this place. If I could give it no stars I would read more

Sunday brunch at Billy Gail's is worth waiting all week for! We enjoyed our Mother's Day family meal there featuring their giant pancakes, billion dollar bacon, grits, and Monte Crisco sandwich! It's usually busy so be prepared to wait. I have tried their fried pork tenderloin and even though it was huge it was very dry and tough. Stick with breakfast! read more

Billy Gail's - Ozark - American Near Me - Ozark, Missouri

A well known and touted tourist restaurant- I expected excellence. Breakfast eggs were ok- ham and bacon were good- but hash browns were mushy and bland. Bit the thing that really bothered me- the soft drink-$3.50 and they didn't even offer a take home cup- when we asked for one- the waitress just brought an empty cup. Ice worked at many eateries, and all the employees get free drinks, while the customers get stiffed for $++++.meals are expensive enough without jacking up the soda prices.....and a good restaurant will always offer-"can I get you a styrofoam cup to take your drink in"! read more

The food, service and the atmosphere was amazing. It was the first time stopping there and we were not disappointed. Make sure you come with an empty stomach because you get a lot of food. We had the chicken fried steak and the pancake. read more

My burger was fantastic with lots of french fries, too! Our server was great. The manager visited our table, because she wanted to make sure we were enjoying our lunch. Super nice woman. Making her rounds to all the tables and patrons. You would think she was an owner the way she works. read more
