The wings were pretty good but a little too charred or dry for my liking but I was recommended this place by a friend who swears by the Wednesday special so had to try it myself. Good atmosphere with sports screens all over and good location right next to the lake. Will go back for wing platter with tots for 2$ up charge because those looked like a better option! read more

Billy-Ho's - 18 Wednesday wing platter special with chips - American Near Me - Pewaukee, Wisconsin

A couple months ago I saw a picture on social media of a breakfast burrito from Billy Ho's and knew I had to try it. For my choice of meat in the burrito I went with bacon. The burrito was very good. There was a nice balance between the bacon, egg, and cheese and I would definitely get it again. I would ask for a different side, if that's even an option, as the potatoes were super bland with no seasoning or salt to speak of. I ate what I could, but didn't finish them. Getting into Billy Ho's was an adventure. It's located in the basement of the American Legion building and there's no parking on the street out front and only a small lot in back, but you have to walk around the side of the building as there's no back entrance. read more

Love the Wednesday wing special of 18 wings and chips but opted for the $2 up charge for onion rings which were so good and fresh. The Wings although tasty were a little "tough" Unsure why and the reason for less stars this visit. Great friendly and efficient staff who multitask between tables and bar. read more

This was the new restaurant of the week and a long time bookmark so I stopped over for lunch. I couldn't find it the first time because the spot was a three flag flying American Legion post so I used google maps to take me there and I ended up at the same intersection so I parked and I looked around and, dang it's in the A /L post right on the sign in front. The place is in the basement and it's classic WI dive bar at its finest with a small bar and some hi tables. It's bar service I was told so I ordered a spicy Bloody Mary spicy and the cheesesteak sandwich with upgraded onion rings for $2 extra. The Bloody Mary was super average with absolutely no depth of flavor at all that was garnished with a couple good firm olives, 2 meat slices and a cheddar cheese cube which was decent. The cheesesteak looked pretty good and smelled amazing with lettuce, tomato and mayo which is not the norm from most places and it was fu#king delicious that way, if I can remember I'm going to ask for future cheesesteaks from other place to add lettuce, tomatoes and mayo. The grilled peppers and onions with the thin sliced beef topped with melted cheese on the fresh hoagie bun was perfect for my cheesesteak craving. On the other hand the up charge onion rings were beer battered and thin, very average bar food and I thought that the seasoned potatoes/frys that came with the sandwich would have been a better option for this sandwich. Overall I had a good lunch at a reasonable price with a cocktail/chaser sandwich and side for $20.95 that completely satisfied me, the 1st timer on my receipt was noted for the kitchen ? like what is that and don't F this order up ? I don't know. read more

Fabulous food and the place is so squeaky clean. My friends Dennis and Maxie love the pizza more than the average bear.

Went for the tacos, gotta say not bad at all. Ended up getting the chicken tacos with some cheese curds and the chicken was seasoned well and the cheese curds were, well you just gotta try em. Worth the go and the price! read more

Food is great! We have had many different things but the pizza is our favorite! Bartenders/servers are so friendly and always happy to see you! It's your local basement/cave bar with great music and ambiance! Drinks are consistent and well poured also! read more

Great wings and burgers ! We were there on Wednesday which is wing night. 20 wings with freshly made chips and a pitcher of beer for $20.

Food was excellent. The service and staff was excellent. The bathroom nice and clean.

Hi, This is Dominic the food reviewer. On Thursday I went to Billy Hos Pub and Eatery for a special sampling of their upcoming St. Patrick's day menu. It is located on 118 Main St. Pewaukee, WI. On Wednesday March 17th, they will have a special menu. It will include a deep fried reuben from DudeFoods.com using Pabst Beer. It's called a Pabst Blue Reuben. They will have reuben quesadillas, reuben rolls, reuben pizza, and corned beef sandwiches. I got to try all of these, I thought everything was very phenomenal, delectable, and it hit the spot. Reubens are one of my favorite foods. 10% of all proceeds will be donated to Best Buddies Wisconsin which is an organization that helps special needs people make friends, help with employment, and provide Leadership development. Billy let me pick out the charity, which I thought was really cool. I want to thank Nick Chipman from dude foods for joining us at Billy Ho's. That deep fried rueben you came up with was incredible. I also want to thank Billy Ho for letting me try all the St. Patricks day food. I always have great meals at Billy Ho's and have eaten here many times. I think it's such a welcoming and fun place. Wednesday is normally their awesome wing special night, but on St Patrick's day they won't be doing the wings and will be doing this tasty rueben menu. Billy said the kitchen would be cooking this great food on St Patrick's day from noon to 10pm. https://www.facebook.com/298033997778614/posts/587122055536472/?d=n Also, I put link to my previous review here that has their regular menu too. read more

I have been there twice and the sandwiches have been very good. I was disappointed as the menu was not up to date and my first choices both times were not offered anymore. read more

While the atmosphere is just a typical bar, the pizza is fantastic. The cheese is very high-quality. I'm guessing maybe Grande brand (which to me is the gold standard for mozzarella), the sauce is delicious yet not overpowering, and the cracker crust is phenomenal. There is a surprisingly strong culture of excellent pizza joints in Pewaukee, and Billy Ho's is among the best! read more

Our group came here after golf and enjoyed the fish fry and pizza. Good comfort food and drinks at a fair price. The service was friendly and attentive during a busy time with a big group. Will definitely come back! read more

Billy-Ho's has me nonplussed. It's a bar/restaurant in the basement of a Pewaukee VFW hall. I don't think I would have ever walked in if it weren't for some colleagues discovering it last Summer. That night we were in Pewaukee for the Waterfront Concert Series. After a little music and a brewski or two, I headed home. However, my coworkers were famished and set out to find a bite to eat. As they walked towards their autos, their noses found Billy-Ho's. No lie! The smell of hot wings wafted through the air and they followed their olfactory senses like Yogi Bear uses his to find a cooling pie on a windowsill. (Men would be very easy to trap, by the way.) Since then, these guys have made Billy-Ho's their after-work place to chill. Tonight, I finally joined them. It's as expected: dark, windowless, and plain. The draft beers are the usual macro suspects. (I believe there were four of them.) So far, nothing special... but then the wings. You see them from across the bar. You can't miss them. Splayed on a platter with a pile of homemade chips towering in the center, your mouth begins to water. The air is filled with sweet peppery smell of Frank's Red Hot. There shall be no cheeseburger, chicken wraps, or pizza tonight. No tonight (Wednesdays), it's all about the wings. And this giant platter of wings cost how much? (Wait for it....) Seven dollars and ninety-five cents! Seriously. My wife and I ate ten wings at BW-3 last Sunday and they were 12 bucks. Billy's platter has 18 far superior wings! Presumably the chips cost $1.65 because the wings on Wing Wednesday are only 35¢ each (must be ordered in batches of six). Plus, they're meaty ones and cooked the same way that the best wings are cooked so that they arrive hot with a crispy, crackly, crimson skin. Oh man, Billy-Ho, you have won me over. My pals had it right, your wings are so irresistible, I can hardly wait for next Wednesday night!! read more

I had the gyro and fries special on a Friday night. The food was very good and hot. They did a great job. The only complaint was that I ordered it to go and did not ask for napkins. Strongly recommend the gyros. read more

After a less than stellar experience as usual at Doc's we ended up here. Had an exceptional night of great sandwiches and really good pizza. It was Italian beef night and tall Smirnoff cocktails! My daughter in law cleaned her plate and I opted for the pepperoni melt. The only thing missing I think was some pepperocini would have taken the sandwich over the top. The Ho made chips are such an excellent addition to the meal. Our service was very friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back. read more

What a fantastic place! Billy and his staff are top-notch. They are not only our go-to watering hole but their food is absolutely spectacular! Go on Wednesday and experience the best wings in the area! This place should be on Diner, Drive-ins, and Dives! read more

Went on recommendations from friends. Easy to find in Pewaukee. Parked in the back lot, lots of space. Went through the fun "beer delivery door". Friendly bartender, she was quick, nice and funny. We were there for lunch on a late Saturday afternoon. We each had one of the specials: cheeseburger with bacon and egg and Italian beef. Both were phenomenal! Lots of flavor, served hot and with loads of double arches type fries!! Lunch was very reasonably priced with cocktails. Would go back again anytime. read more

Classic local neighborhood bar with really good wings, will probably try a burger next time as they also looked good.

We came specifically for the wings!!! The wings are awesome and come out surprisingly quick for how many people were visiting! We always get the bacon barbecue and raspberry habenero. The service was a little slower considering that is a Wed. special. They have about 8 tables but only one waitress. We'd definitely suggest waiting because the wings are delicious and the price is even better! read more

I went to this restaurant because my son was very high on their food and wings, but unless you are regular customer anticipate waiting for your food a very long time. i went on a wings Wednesday, they stated that it would take 1 hour for my food, it was crowded and expected that kind of wait, but when people were walking in sitting down at the bar and ordering food and getting their food before my order it was very frustrating. After 1 hour and 30 minutes I asked again where my order was in the process they told me 15 minutes, after 1 hour and 45 minutes, 15 minutes later, I asked again where my order was in the process, they told me another 15 minutes. I told them I was done and settled my tab and left. They are basically at capacity and cater to their regular customers, better places around the area that appreciate new customers, read more

Place is boring and in a basement, same people here every time, the type of people that you don't want to talk to. The Manager Billy is a Momma's boy, he is a dud, and has a terrible personality. read more

I was visiting area on business and a local recommended Billy-Ho's for a good burger. Did not disappoint. This made my top five burgers I've ever eaten. Everything, including the bun was prepared to perfection. I strongly recommend and I know I will be going back every time I visit the area. read more

My husband liked his burger. My fish fry was pretty good. Cheese curds were good. Everything was decent, just not fantastic. I was going for the wings but they only serve them on Wednesdays and Thursdays. read more

One of our regular haunts. For a bar the food is really good. The rumor is that the owner, Billy, is the son of the owners of The Butler Inn on the west side of Pewaukee. That would explain the good food. And he's here A LOT and usually working, not sitting at the bar like many other owners. He cooks, busses tables and generally RUNS THE JOINT. But, this is a bar. A lady below rated it low and said she took her kids there. It is not a place for kids. The only down side is that I wish they had more tap beer varieties. They only have like 4 taps and they are standards, like Lite, Coors Light, etc... read more

We met some friends for a fish fry ....the service was good my only complaint would be it was loud in there.... My big fish was barely average but all the food was hot and the three fish fries were good. Small quaint place for the locals I see why it's busy! read more

I ended up here on a bar crawl for my friends birthday. It's in the basement of a VFW and you never forget it. Now, I love me some VFW drinking but this place is skewed. Nothing is... comfortable here. No taps that I saw. And kinda surly bartenders. It's cheap so it gets a few stars for that. Will I be back, not if I can help it. read more

Food is really good and reasonably priced. It's a bar for sure, so atmosphere is bar-like. But we've been here 3 times and service is good and food is great! read more

My friends and I started meeting here a year ago and it's become our regular spot. Definitely go on a Wednesday for Wing Night! It's about 8 bucks and you get a lot for you money. It's usually pretty busy so you'll want to get there early! read more

My other favorite hangout in Pewaukee. Cute atmosphere and delicious food! Nachos are hands down some of the best I've ever had!

Was here for St. Patrick's Day and have never been so disappointed in the service as I was tonight. Came in at 5:20 and placed several orders with a friend. We had children with us so ordering food was a priority. The kids received their food pretty quick and we had to wait an hour and a half for ours. Interestingly enough their were two tickets, one with my kids order as well as mine. The other with her orders and her kids Order. Twice food was placed in front of us, only to be taken away, given to a different table. Three different waitresses came by to confirm our order and eventually after several trips to the bar to inquire we received our food at 7:20, 2 hours after we ordered. While eating we were approached by one of the employees, and she asked what was wrong with our meal. We politely explained the debacle that happened and she offered us a drink. No interest in a drink as I was the designated driver, my neighbor was done and the third adult is battling cancer. We explained the situation again and told her the right thing to do would be to comp us for our food, she said, "we don't comp people for their food, it's too expensive!" She offered us a drink again and a bunch of excuses for the problem; new bartender, new system, lots of people. Funny thing is that one of the owners was one of the waitresses who not only inquired about what we had ordered, but also pit food down only to have it taken away. She did apologize which I appreciate and thanked her for. We said we didn't expect the whole bill, just our $8.95 Reuben and $11.50 Corned Beef dinner, but instead she opted for losing our business for good. Never again will I set foot in this establishment which is unfortunate as my family goes there once a week. read more

Disappointed last night. Took over an hour to get two hamburgers to go. Wanted the wings but you can't get them to go and they were out anyway. Prices are up, service down. Ordered hamburgers with lettuce, tomato and onion. Got home and they were plain. read more
