Went here for brunch with my teenage daughter. Food was so good! We shared the blueberry ricotta pancakes were incredible? Topped with a blueberry compote and lemon curd with She got the steak and eggs. Steak was perfectly marinated and cooked to the absolute right temperature. Eggs were slightly undercooked but that's forgiven! I had the farm hash which was so delicious. Our coffees were delish as well. I can't recommend the food here enough! Now for the down side. The service was atrocious, from the host to the waiter to the person who brought the food to the table. As an example, we waited 15 minutes for our server to take our order. We waited 25 minutes for coffee then 10 more for our food. The coffee was delivered without sugar or a spoon and he didn't reappear. I asked another person for sugar and a spoon - she never returned. Then I asked a third young man who brought them immediately - my coffee was nearly cold at that point. One of several service issues. All that said, we'll come back for the food but won't come too hungry and will have low service expectations. Maybe the service will be better next time. read more

Billy Hicks We had a rare weekend day off together so we decided to hit brunch. I immediately thought back to that time (Easter Sunday) we went to Billy Hicks and I said we gotta go back! The atmosphere is casual and fun, and when it's busy or empty it feels like just a simple easy spot to get good food. The first visit ordered some kind of potato hash with eggs on top and avocado slices. It was just ok. We shared the pancakes which were top tier. Fluffy and crispy. Perfect! That was the main reason I wanted to come back. Drinks: At this point I have to say beware of the "loaded" bloody Mary which is literally just a glass of the drink, not loaded with anything. I don't know why they call it that. But it's good! It just isn't loaded with anything. The coffee is great. I'm fancy sometimes so I opened with a bloody, then ate breakfast, then took it slow with an iced latte after the meal. We were sitting in the deck and the weather was perfect for relaxing. The GF reports that the mimosas are great... Poured to the top and a good ratio of orange to champagne. Back to the food: This latest visit I ordered the Bfast Sandie with fennel sausage. This was a good sandwich overall but it's served on a croissant which to me is too rich and buttery for a sandwich that already has sausage and cheese. Some other bread or English muffin would make this perfect. Overall I love the atmosphere (aside from that hostess who always seems to rather be somewhere else lol), love the pancakes and coffee, and it's worth a couple visits. read more

Really disappointing place, and not worth it given the far superior options available in the immediate area. During my last visit, the bartender was not even sure of which bourbons they had available at the bar. How do you not know what you stock at your own place? On the previous stop, I was served a drink without any garnish, even after the bartender had to look up the recipe for the drink after I ordered it. There are so many places with high-quality service in the area, that there is no reason to waste your money here while clueless staff fumble about. The food is also mediocre, and there aren't very many healthy options. read more

Last-minute restaurant choice, but it didn't disappoint. We arrived an hour before the kitchen closed. The server was friendly. Food was served quickly and hot. The mambo wings were very good and sizable. The chicken sandwich was well fried with a nice spice. My partner enjoyed the burger as well! We also tried the spinach dip. It was mostly spinach, but still flavorful. read more

Such a cute spot sitting at the corner of a busy Georgetown block. This place looks like a British pub with its cute decor but the bathroom can use some renovations because the paint was falling. However, it's definitely the place where you could enjoy great brunch or sit at the bar and enjoy the game on one of their big screens. I was able to grab a seat without reservations but from the look of things, it was pretty packed in there so I'd likely advise that you make reservations online. Shoutout to our waiter Desha. He was managing several tables but doing it all with a smile and excellent service. My boyfriend ordered a latte and I ordered their French martini. He enjoyed his drink but wished that the sweetener added was mixed in and not settled at the bottom of the mug. My French martini was a refreshing drink, very subtle in taste. For food I ordered the Bfast Sandie....O-M-G! Talk about a scrumptious breakfast sandwich and delicious breakfast potatoes on the side. The croissant was buttery soft and the eggs were fluffy and bursting with flavor. The bacon had a sweet aftertaste, pulling this sandwich together well. I loved it! The breakfast potatoes on the side were sinfully good as well. Honestly something I wouldn't mind indulging in everyday lol My boyfriend ordered the steak and eggs and he raved that it was excellent! I'm looking forward to visiting this spot again because I love a good restaurant where I can enjoy some bites. read more

Came for dinner on a crowded Friday night. Cute bar area and decor with a casual diner/cafe vibe. We snagged a booth and so glad because the cafe tables are really packed in tightly! Service was excellent despite a packed house. Food was pretty average and overpriced, but it is Georgetown I guess. We ordered the bang bang shrimp to start, and I had the Caesar salad with salmon which was overcooked. Both were sub par. Cocktails were very sweet. read more

Came here for drinks after dinner. Overall a good experience The drinks are strong and tasty. We said at the bar and service was excellent. Overall I would come again if I was in the area it's a nice swanky bar in Georgetown read more

Everything we tried was excellent. The short rib was rich and tender, the hot chicken sandwich was a standout, and the thin-cut fries are easily some of the best I've had in DC. The steak salad is a solid option if you want something lighter, and the gnocchi truly tastes handmade. Highly recommend starting with the pretzel and the bang bang shrimp. The space is cozy and usually pretty busy, but the servers are friendly and keep things moving. A great spot for a relaxed dinner that still delivers on quality. read more

Cute spot for lunch with a great menu--so many good options it was hard to choose. The salads especially looked popular and delicious! But we were hangry. Sliders- came a little well done. Blackened Chicken sandwich- my husband was happy with his choice BLT- I should have said easy on the mayo or mayo on the side. But it was ok. It comes with fries, they were nice and crispy. They have nice menu options so we would definitely return. Service is friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed too. read more

Reservations were made for a Saturday night. Upon entering immediately noticed the place was fully packed and loud. Tables were close to each other. No room to walk in between. I approached the booth to check in and 3 employees continued being busy. Food was ok and overpriced. Doesn't seem like I would want to dine in at again. read more

Definitely one of the best happy hours I've been to in DC in a while. A $9 mango crush and $5 chicken tenders with fries was a steal. My friend and I sat at the bar for a catch up chat over happy hour and the bartender was kind and attentive. The place wasn't overpacked for a Thursday happy hour on a nice day, but it was still lively and casual inside. Recommend for a place to catch up with a friend before stroking through the rest of Georgetown read more

Stumbled across Billy Hicks after a day of exploring Georgetown. When I walked in, it was packed. There was a slight wait, but had the opportunity to hang out at the bar for no more than 20 minutes, before being seated on the patio. Shoutout to the server D'Shae! I asked about the sandwich selections and could not have been happier with his recommendations. I love when a server is attentive, but not bothersome. NOW... let's get into the food! All the items came out in a decent amount of time and made with care. The sandwich was delicious and filling (with a side), the balsamic glaze on the brussel sprouts was a perfect touch, and the french fries were fresh and covered in parmesan! read more

I stopped by Billy Hicks in Georgetown to try their espresso martini, that my coworker has been raving about. It's called the Study Buddy. I asked the bartender if it was made with freshly brewed espresso and she said yes. I'm not a regular coffee drinker, but it didn't taste like brewed espresso. It did have a bold, rich, and smooth espresso like flavor. The bold aftertaste leaned more toward a coffee flavored liqueur. I also tried the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, which the bartender highly recommended. While I appreciated the suggestion, I didn't love the pairing with the drink. The flavors just didn't complement each other. The shrimp itself wasn't quite my style, but that's more personal taste than anything. Overall, the service was friendly, the atmosphere was nice, and I'd definitely return to try a full dining experience and explore more of their menu. read more

I've always walked past Billy Hicks, but decided to swing by for their drink options. I ordered a matcha latte with oatmilk and to be honest wasn't impressed. My beverage tasted primarily of milk and barely any matcha. Service was also quite slow. The only reason for the 4 stars was how good the menu looked and pastry options. I didn't grab any but I spoke to a few customers and they spoke highly of their food. When you walk in, you can smell how good some of the food is. I also really like the decor. Would definitely come back for a dine-in option. read more

Billy Hicks is a spot I've driven past many times and finally decided to try for brunch on a busy Sunday. The place is well-organized, featuring a great staff and an appealing menu with fun drink options. We started with our beverages: a French Martini for her and a mocha latte for me. For our meal, we ordered the Breakfast Sandie and steak and eggs. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

Amazing service, great food. Grace was a phenomenal server. Will be back again. Billy Burger is the best item on the menu.

An unsuspecting bar right in the center of Georgetown that appeared more confused than it should be. The interior is a very nice cross between modern and classic pub with outdoor access. I just wasn't quite sure what they wanted to be. Was it a coffee bar, a sports bar, a gastropub etc. many directions with no end. The burger here was mediocre, lacking seasoning and proportionally off as the bun was too large. read more

The restaurant sits on a busy corner in Georgetown. The restaurant was pretty busy when we arrived at 4:30pm. We were seated right away at a comfortable booth. The server right away brought us waters and menu and welcomed us, even though our other two guests hadn't arrived. He also checked in again after about 10-15minutes to see if we still wanted to wait or but in a drink order. Great service from start to finish. - Definitely get the wings - they were a great crispy skin to moist chicken meat ratio. Lemon pepper was great seasoning not overly salty. The Ranch was a perfect dip. - I ordered the salmon entree with green beans (4 of 5), it was good but not exactly a wow factor. - I was happy that I could order an espresso bc we were headed to Blues Alley for a show after dinner and needed a little pick me up. Restaurant was lovely and in the Christmas spirit. Bathrooms were clean, even with how busy the dinner service was. Definitely good spot for larger parties. read more

I tried a lot of different foods during my visit here, but I only really liked the strawberry shortcake and a short rib quesadilla. My drinks were too sweet. There wasn't a good balance between alcohol and syrup. I did order salmon, but it was a little overcooked. Parking in this area is horrible considering it Georgetown. read more

Okay so I've been here one other time with my friend for her birthday (we loved it). But we had gone for lunch so I wanted to check this place out for dinner. Plus we had gone when they opened two days prior. So now they've been around the block since October... I was so excited to eat here and genuinely, the pretzel is probably the best appetizer I've ever had in my entire life. This pretzel was delicious, but the sauce. THE SAUCE. That was the star. It had some spicy element and was so cheesy and gooey. Ugh I wanted to put that on my burger but it was cleared with the plate when we finished. Maybe next time (peak indulgence). I'd come back just to eat this pretzel. The burger was also so delicious and very rich and filling. The bacon was cooked great and the burger was so juicy and thick. Omg. The fries were good. Ugh I loved it. But why am I at 4 stars then? I think the food is a 5/5, but our service was so bad. I can't remember our server's name, but it's probably because he was so inattentive. He didn't check on us at all and I wish we could've just tipped the busser instead. I can understand being so busy. But that's the thing. It wasn't that busy! After we sat down (and waited ten minutes), he took our drink order and then didn't return for 30 minutes! We had to flag him down to order our food because he just didn't care enough to check on us and would rather watch March Madness or chat with the bartender. Even after we finished eating and wanted to get a box to go, he was just not there and we had to wave over someone from the front. A restaurant this good should have 5 stars. The vibes are great, the food is fantastic, and I hope the next time we come, the service is better. read more

Super cute place in a busy area of Georgetown. I loved that you could get brunch and lunch (if you were seated at the right time). Even though we got there way before brunch ended, it took quite awhile to get seated, so we had to order from the lunch menu. We were seated 15 minutes past their brunch time and they wouldn't even serve an açaí bowl, which didn't require cooking. But, moving on. I loved the fried-bread like donut that they provide at the beginning of the meal. Those were so good. We opted for the chop chop salad, the pretzel and the carne asada tacos. Food was really good. The pretzel was the favorite. Everything came out fairly quickly considering they were busy. I would say I wish our waiter would have been a bit more pleasant and present. It's definitely worth checking out if you are in the area, but not sure I would go back. read more

Billy hicks has potential but it's just ok. The service was ok, the outdoor seating was small and a bit awkward, and the food was ok? I can't even remember what I got, it was that forgettable. The best part was the donuty bread we got at the beginning. Would I go back? Sure but not my first choice for restaurants. read more

Able to walk in and get a seat outside. You are above street level, which was nice. There weren't heaters but we were warm enough and they offered to move us inside when a table opened up. Service was attentive and well-paced. We ordered the chips and dip, grilled cheese, and fish tacos. It was fine. The fried green tomatoes on the grilled cheese were excellent. I'd return to try the brunch menu. read more

Decided to try somewhere new for my actual birthday and was so underwhelmed by my experience here!! The photos were misleading for sure :( Besides our server (isabelle/a?) disappearing for a good portion of the time we were seated, the food was not great. We tried the chips&dips which were mid at best, the "guac" was straight up mashed avocado with no seasoning or other veg added.. the fish tacos were just okay, and my steak was ordered medium and came very much well done and not seasoned?? I was annoyed at myself for trying this place instead of going somewhere familiar for my birthday. Best part of the entire meal were the Ozzy rolls I had to specifically ask for- and my server didn't seem to know what i meant until i described the circular bread...? Even though she gave it to another table no problem. Weird experience overall and maybe this place should stick to being a cafe + doing coffee related food. Look elsewhere if in the Georgetown area! read more

10/10! Great affordable brunch in the heart of Georgetown. We got our food super fast and everything was warm and tasted delicious!! Omelette with the ham steak and hashbrowns were incredible. Highly recommend the biscuit side! Really flakey and flavorful, perfect texture. Our waiter was helpful though not the most attentive, so just know you're going for good-priced food and tastiness, not the service experience. Restaurant was really cute and clean inside. I loved the vintage feel read more

Came here on a weekend afternoon for lunch. We were sat at a pretty small table. Usually tables for two are small, but this one felt particularly tiny. Perhaps it was just too closely situated near other tables, but I wish the table itself was a little bit more spacious and that we have more room in between tables. Otherwise, Billy Hicks has clean bathrooms that are spacious, and were some of the cuter bathrooms I've seen in DC (like their brass details). It also felt a smidge more casual, which I enjoyed because you can watch a game on the screen while dining. read more

saw how popular this place was and had to check it out. besides the interior i do have some criticisms about this place.. including the service and food. we got the billy burger and fried chicken platter. the burger was way too salty - we had to leave half of it behind. the chicken platter was seasoned perfectly though, went amazing with the cole slaw. i agree with all the other reviews, the parmesan fries are the best!! service was meh, besides taking orders and the check we never saw our server. check took about 10-15 minutes after finishing our meal to get to us. people at the front looked upset to even be there. music is deafening.. i had to raise my voice significantly to talk to my partner. though, i do think everyone should try this place out at least once. it is worth the vibe. read more

Food was fine. Service was rushed, obnoxious and rude. We ordered sharing apps that came out just fine. 5 mjnutes later our main courses came were brought to the table. Absolutely HATE that. Ruined the whole flow of the dinner. Table gets cramped and our mains all got cold. Waitress was absolutely useless and rude. No refills on water without asking 3 times. Came out when each of us was half way through or entrees to ask "anything else you need?" Then, my wife is still eating and she shoves the credit card reader in my face to pay. I had enough and said "we are still having our meal!! Come back later when we are DONE". Not rushing back at all. Terrible attitude. I would have said something to the manager when we left but he was too busy shoving pasta in his face at the main checking area. Really not a good experience. read more

Billy hicks opened recently but overall it is a great addition to Georgetown. We had dinner and I will say I would come back but probably order something else. The brussel sprouts stole the show, the bacon with the glaze had an even balance and also a good crisp. The fried mozzarella was also really good; lots of cheese and super warm. Lastly the steak was undercooked on one and overcooked on the other, it was tough, and the bernais was extremely sweet but benefit of the doubt is this is not a steak place. Fries were good but ranch was terrible. DC has a lot of amazing places so the bar is pretty high but I will try again because I feel that getting steak here was my fault! read more

What a reprieve from the oppressive heat! This place was great, good food options, nice service, and a good vibe inside. Unfortunately I was surprised with mushrooms in my sweet potato gnocchi.

Rude server, extremely subpar across the board. Ordered a hot tea, but a chai latte arrived -- cold. Someone at the table ordered a coke which was completely forgotten, another ordered chocolate cake. Took forever and was supposed to come with ice cream. Instead of telling us, he just sat the cake down and walked away. When we asked the server about the ice cream, he just said "oh we're out." ... oh, okay! Hope that's coming off the bill then??? Anyway, this place is worth skipping. read more

We enjoyed our meal tonight at Billy Hicks, one of the newer spots to open in Georgetown as of writing in October 2024. The atmosphere is wonderful with a cafe in the front serving coffee, teas and pastries. A bar along the window and a dining room with booth seating and wooden tables and chairs. We opted to sit outside since it was one of those rare DC nights where the temperature was perfect. The place still has a few kinks to work out. The menu has a number of items starred, which we initially thought were "top picks" or "chef recommendations." It wasn't explained on the menu and we prioritized our dinner selections based on them. But learned from our server it meant the items were starred since they weren't yet available. Our server was very friendly but we did find a major language barrier. We speak Spanish so we probably should have just asked our questions in Spanish rather than a lot of the confused back and forth in English. Like mentioned, the atmosphere is great. I'm not as much into the big TV sets all over the dining room, but you don't get that outside. It also seems kid friendly as there were kids inside and a menu for kids, which we always appreciate having kids. The food is where I dock off a star. My partner ordered the BLT sandwich with french fries. The fries were really tasty and the BLT was your standard BLT. I ordered the Chili Lime Chicken Tacos, which I found to be very underwhelming. It was 3 tacos, but it came out cold. Also, the chicken was very dry and there was hardly any flavor. I would definitely not order that again. I decided not to send it back since we were in a hurry and had a movie to catch. Plus, I was just really hungry since I didn't eat all day so would have eaten just about anything at that point. The cocktails and drink menu looks great. They had some of my favorite wines on the menu like the Justin cabernet out of Paso Robles and the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Finally, the fried bread was tasty. It's a little dense and heavy for my taste but my partner ordered 2 complimentary rounds. The breads are fried and topped with sugar and served with a butter drizzled in honey. Think of it as more donut than bread, which is probably why my partner liked it so much! read more
