"Friendly neighborhood spot" was just the right way to describe this new restaurant. Good service and casual atmosphere as I sat in the heart of the dining room. For a while, it honestly did not feel like I was eating in Georgetown. At dinner, I ordered the Billy Burger, a half pound of meat with bacon and your basic burger veggie ingredients. The combination of short rib, brisket, and prime steak made the patty flavorful. I loved that the whole burger held together very well! My dining companion enjoyed the blackened chicken sandwich. The cocktail menu is almost as big as the food menu! I had the Exorcist, but so many other drinks sounded good. The restaurants on M Street are not my first pick for places to eat in Georgetown, but Billy Hicks was worth going to. read more

Really great atmosphere for a nice sunny day - I love the patio and the open air indoor seating! The service was spotty - it wasn't very busy at all and we got our food before our drinks which was a bit odd. The food and drinks were delicious, however. Cool place but just not stoked on the service. read more

Pretty good but there are better brunch spots in the city. I've been intrigued by this restaurant for a while and finally went for brunch. It was very busy but we were able to easily make a reservation. Inside, it was packed. The service was good enough, but the food was average. I got the breakfast sandwich and was disappointed because it was a little dry. The potatoes that came along with it, however, were delicious! Very flavorful and a good serving of them. Overall, I'm glad I tried it out but would probably not return. read more

I really like the atmosphere and mood of Billy Hicks, it is a fun and causal environment with great service and a range of menu options for both food and drinks. It has always been busy when I've stopped in but been able to find seats at the bar with quick, friendly service. The restaurant is clean and so are the restrooms. My only complaint was how thin the lollichops were, there were 2 normal sized ones on top and the two underneath were tiny! read more

The environment was really nice, and the hosts were friendly and amazing -- they made us feel welcome right away. The food I ordered was overall good; however, the chicken ( Pan Roasted Chicken ) didn't taste very fresh, and there was a bit of blood on the bone, which made me feel it wasn't fully cooked. For the price, I expected better quality, so it did feel a bit overpriced for what I got. Other than that, everything else was fine, and I did enjoy the atmosphere and service. read more

Careless and indifferent Gen Z staff seem to be running the place. The drinks were watery, the food arrived cold and with the wrong side, and both the servers and bartender had all the enthusiasm of a wet mop. Georgetown could really benefit from a mid-tier café and bar with a solid kitchen serving the basics in a pleasant atmosphere, but this isn't it. read more

The service had no urgency, we ordered drinks and it took 35 minutes and came with our meal. The Rattlesnake pasta sauce they use is good but their chicken tastes unseasoned and recooked. Their portions for the gnocchi for the price is embarrassing. Sitting outside is nice but the inside is a modernized Bob Evan's with overpriced drinks for a place that really is not specially just a good location. read more

Lively atmosphere in the heart of Georgetown. Hard working staff running around taking care of everyone. We had the Belgian waffle and the turkey club sandwich (I was hungry, so I forgot to take pictures). Both were tasty. I had a toasted marshmallow latte, which brought back childhood memories. read more

Excellent brunch, great service and nice outdoor seating. Andreas was awesome! Highly recommend! read more

Such a cute spot, not to mention every menu item is phenomenal! From coffee, to cocktails, pastries, and entrees - they have it all and do it all flawlessly! The mandarin chicken salad had the perfect balance between sweet and spicy. It is well dressed. The Study Buddy was the perfect traditional espresso martini imo (I can be very picky!). read more

This would have been a 5 Star review had it not been for the DEPLORABLE service from the hostess! We had a reservation, and wanted to be seated outdoors because Sunday was gorgeous. The hostess was dismissive and lied to our faces. She gleefully greated a white couple and seated them, still not even acknowledging that we were waiting for more than 15 minutes. read more

I've been here several times and there is consistently great service and food. My go to is the BLT sandwich. The drinks are amazing as well. read more

I've been excited to try this place since I first spotted it sometime at the end of last year. The food was very disappointing. I cannot express it enough. I wouldn't go back and lowkey wish I went anywhere else instead. We ordered wings, nachos with chicken, a club stack, and the Billy burger. First, I don't know why they make their nachos the way they do. I mean I get what they were trying to do--they stack every ingredient on individual chips and bake it. I'm assuming so that each chip has all the ingredients. In theory, great idea. In practice, at least what they did, not so much. It was just alright. The wings were good. Can't go wrong with wings really and if they did, this would've been a one star. The club stack was a turkey club and it was just not good. The turkey seemed like Hillshire Farms oven roasted turkey but honestly even worse. It did not hold its own. The bacon wasn't good either. There was no condiments, no sauce, nothing. Just the ingredients put together with no love. The cheese was cold. All around, not good. Very disappointing. The burger looked bad. I didn't have it but my friend said it was just not good. Neither of us are picky eaters and don't believe in food waste, so we really just eat anything but this was hard to finish. They also didn't tell us the fries had parmesan cheese on them and my friend does not like parmesan. Speaking of the fries, they were okay. Very thin so they got cold easily. The food is just okay at best. We got the most basic items and they were not good. Other people have different opinions so it might be worth trying for yourself. I would not go back and I am not happy I went lol. read more

We arrived on Saturday around 1:00 for a late lunch. Brunch is served until 3 which we weren't expecting -- there was a few items on the Lunch menu that I was hoping for, but sadly not offered on the brunch menu. The three of us (two adults, 12 year old) were seated quickly which was a really nice surprised considering how small the restaurant really is. My partner ordered the Pear Rosemary Sangria on a whim which was really wall balanced, not as sweet as we were anticipating and really easy to drink. The complimentary bread basket was interesting as it was more of a fried bread. I ordered the granola açaí bowel which was fantastic! It had a drizzle of honey on top which probably wasn't necessary as the açaí was sweet enough along with all the fruit. My partner and child split the Berry Berry stack. The pancakes thick, with a crisp edge, but perfectly cooked inside. LOTS of blueberries throughout. We had to ask for syrup though as it didn't come with? (Maybe just a mishap). The standard Benedict was pretty standard, nothing unusual or that stood out. We did order a Billy's Bug Breakfast (not pictured) with a biscuit which was really good, buttery, and flaky! Would highly recommend them. Again, wasn't served with jam or butter? Overall, we had a great experience! they have plenty of TVs to watch games, a wrap around bar and even a small patio (2-3 tops only). Wish it was a little bit bigger of a space as it did feel like some people were sitting on top of each other and everyone heard all your convos. Not their fault, but wanted to make it known that you should come here and expect a private intimate conversation. The kitchen is also open to the dining space so you do get that noise as well. Would definitely come back as it is a welcoming environment and great addition to Georgetown read more

Billy Hicks is an adorable new spot in Georgetown that has a great blend of American classics and fusion dishes. Came in on Black Friday for dinner and enjoyed appetizers of Bang Bang Shrimp and fish tacos. The shrimp was crispy and flavorful - much like the classic PF Changs recipe. The tacos were lacking a bit of flavor and were just alright. The food is on the pricey side, which perhaps makes sense for the location. The service was speedy on such a busy night. Very kind wait staff. The ambiance is very lively, colorful, and classic. Will definitely be back to try their cafe items! read more

So the patio seating balconnette is lovely and so nice to watch outside. Our server was amazing I wish I remembered her name, she had eyes everywhere despite them being super busy. We did the steak salad fries and a cocktail. The food was ... ok ... the fries weren't hot and didn't feel fresh ... neither did our salad. The greens seemed like they'd been hanging out a while. The steak was cooked nicely but for the price point quite small. The salad dressing was nothing to write home about. Cocktail was good. Don't think we'll be back unless we can just have a drink on the balcony and people watch.. OH and there was this adorable young hostess who appeared to be bullied by the manager or another server and it was super uncomfortable to be privy to... I asked her later if she was ok and she appeared embarrassed so obviously I let it go... maybe we hit it on a off day but too many other spots in the area to feel compelled to return. read more

Very solid addition to M st. I think this will be a hit with visitors and parents of Georgetown and GW students. The redesign of the space is great. I had the crispy noodle shrimp salad. It was huge. definitely good to share. I also tried the "In Fashion" which added rosemary smoke to a classic old fashion cocktail. That was delicious. They have a large drink list and a decent food list. They also have a coffee bar. All the staff are lovely and food came quickly. read more

The value of the food for money is not good. best part is the bread! Wouldn't recommend unless you want to spend lots on mediocre food!

Great burger awesome fries and great pretzel and chill vibes except one waitress that serves nothing but attitude each time. If you know you know. read more

This place is beautiful, charming, and so needed in Georgetown. Cute little station to buy coffee to go when you walk in, full bar, and table service available. My husband and I ate on their adorable little patio today. The heavenly Ozzie rolls with honey butter were a welcome surprise. My burger was cooked perfectly, but I also helped myself to his French Dip, and the side Brussels were crisped to perfection. I can't wait to make my way through their whole menu and drinks in the evening. This would be the perfect location to stop for food/drinks between Christmas shopping! read more

A day shopping in Georgetown...we had seen this before, but a line out the door. It was busy when we went today (Memorial Day Sunday)...the staff was able to seat us though quickly. My husband and I both ordered salads and split the Parmesan fries. Husband had Billy and Goat salad and I had the steak salad. Both were honestly great! And the Parmesan fries thin cut, and so much flavor. The restaurant sent out to several tables gratis fried dough with whipped butter..so, so darn good. Our waitress was a petite young lady with a lovely personality. The staff worked together as a team. It was the perfect bite, great tunes..looking forward to going back soon! So glad we went. Thank you to the staff! read more

This is a very cute diner in downtown Georgetown. I was very excited to go here, and the service is wonderful, but unfortunately the meal was lackluster. I ordered a vanilla latte with macadamia milk that unfortunately had a taste bordering on artificial, and my almond croissant was not very fresh. The staff, however, was incredibly attentive, and the decor is very, very cute and colorful. read more

Carne asada Quesadilla was good but greasy. Service was good but why it took so long to seat us when place was 90% or so unoccupied not sure. read more

My husband and I were really looking forward to trying this restaurant after Christmas shopping, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The food did not meet our expectations, and the service was even worse. Our waitress never checked on us to see if the food was okay or if we needed anything. We had to repeatedly try to get her attention, and she ignored us while scrolling on her phone for most of our visit. Eventually, I had to leave my seat and ask another employee for our check. On my way to the bathroom, there was a terrible smell coming from the kitchen--like a dirty mop--which was very off-putting. The level of service and cleanliness was unacceptable. This is the first time in my life that I did not leave a tip. If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. read more

Probably worst service I have experience in a very long time. We sat at the bar with two other people and a bartender. He took 15 minutes to come help us then in 30 minutes to get our chicken fingers then he overcharged us. Then even to pay the bill, I had to go find him so I could pay the bill so I had to leave because I was gonna be there for an hour and I wound be in there for an hour and 45 closer to two hours because my parking was gonna run out. Never again. read more

Service was friendly, and the place is laid-back, casual, bright, and clean. +shareable options +friendly service read more

I kept passing this place so I decided to pop in. They have a full restaurant but you can go up to the front and order coffees and pastries to go. I tried the black roast and it was a solid cup for the price. I would go back for a caffeine fix if I was in Georgetown. read more

I ordered through Uber Eats several items based in reviews. I ordered wings, the mandarin chicken salad with extra chicken, the club stack and spinach dip. Because zi had so many specifications and issues with Uber Eats I opted to call and ask a few questions initially and the called to follow up on my order, The assistant manager who answered the going was very polite and agreed to check on my order. She even called dback to let me know they were out of the Napa cabbage lettuce for the salad ans asked which substitution I wanted. The food arrived and the wings were very good and crispy as specified. The salad was good although they may have shorted me on chicken since I opted to triple the amount. The salad and dressing was good. The brussel sprouts did not have the bacon as described but were tasty. The chips used for the spinach dip were not the best although the dip was good. I recommend they use a freshly fried chip or pita type bread or naan.The spinach dip lacked the parmesean crust top, in part due to the packaging which was too large.It shifted around and arrived a little messy. I recommend they package that in a small cup with a lid. They have good food and quality, but would recommend they work on consistency in ingredients as described on the menu. The service was definitely a plus. I still rated them well in the app and will give them a second try. They definitely may be the type of restaurant that shows up better for dine-in customers. read more

I was impressed with the fun green and lively music in the restaurant. It was packed for a Saturday but still able to get a table or you could sit at the bar. It took a while for our drinks to come and they had a few items missed from our order that we didn't get, but we loved the food we did have especially the nachos and the BLT. I would go back especially for the prices in Georgetown and the quality of the food was great. read more
