    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wow, the food here is amazing! It's country, home cooking and the portions are enormous. Most of our plates were enough to be left overs for one or two meals.

    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.

    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!

    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 :)

    We loved this place. Portion sizes are HUGE. One pancake can feed 1-3 people easily. Even with the big portions the food is still really good. Our server Alair was super friendly and attentive. Will definitely comeback next time we're out this way!

    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!

    I should start by saying that this restaurant takes putting a couple visits under your belt before…read moreyou can form an accurate opinion. On our first visit, it took a while to be greeted and it took forever to receive our food. I think we were there for two hours altogether on our first trip and we did not think that we would be returning. Fast-forward a few months and we came here because it was one of the few places open that had down home cooking, which we were wanting. I'm so glad we came again because it was such a great experience and we've gone again a handful of times since. I've had a few things here, but my favorites are their burgers, hand cut fries, the fried zucchini, and the lemon meringue pie. All of them are delicious. They also make a mean club sandwich, although sometimes they forget to cut it in quarters and just cut it in half. Not a big deal, but I personally prefer mine in quarters. The staff are friendly for the most part. There is one lady who I assume is the manager, who is almost always being rude to someone, whether it be her own staff or the customers. She always has something grouchy and negative to say, or she's belittling her staff in front of everyone. I personally would hate to work for someone like that. Hopefully she will have some joy in her life so she can turn things around. We can always tell when we get her on the phone for our call-in orders because she is the only one who is grumpy about having to type in the fact that we want to make a substitution for a burger topping. It's kind of sad that she stands out in this way, but that does not make it any less true. Anyway, the tables could use a bit of cleaning, especially the ones nearest the wall where there is dirt and dust. Aside from that, I really have no complaints about Rosie Jo's. It is one of our favorite places to eat in Ozark and we will definitely be back.

    A quiet little family owned diner. Great food friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere.
