    $1 Jell-O shots
    Nayia R.

    Cool spot. It's a pretty big location. They have a dance floor and they night they were doing karaoke. I guess they do it every weekend. We sat at a table at the bar area. Food was good. Service was very slow but overall it's a cool place to go.

    If you're looking for friendly staff, a wide range of menu items and fast service- this is the place for you! I've been going to Billy's for a few years now, the staff is BEYOND nice! So friendly, they give great recommendations. Make sure to get a Jell-O shot while you're here, they come in a syringe and are so worthy!

    Chinese BBQ pork.

    Great service. Just don't order this specific Chinese BBQ pork item. I was hoping that was a cooperation with a Chinese restaurant in the same complex. But it is not. It is about the same grade as air fryer recipes on YouTube, but cold.

    Came here because I was desperately craving some hearty mozzarella sticks. I was drawn to Billy's due to a photo they have displayed on the front page of their google business profile (Refer to screenshot here on my post). Although the food did come out relatively fast, the mozzarella sticks looked nothing like the picture they use for advertisement. The real ones were subpar at best. Good but nothing special. Also, for $13.99 and a smaller size than what I was expecting, I think they could've given a bigger portion. I felt catfished and left a bit disappointed. Besides the food, our bartender Amy was very sweet and kind! And my overall experience here at this bar was decent. I really enjoyed the set up and the whole atmosphere of the space. Plenty of things going on and also, plenty of space.

    Food was great! Service was on point even with training newbies, our waitstaff was courteous and quick. Down side was karaoke that night, fill-in KJ, & rude regulars. I've got other options for Karaoke but the restaurant side was great!

    Double Trouble

    Went here last night for dinner with the wife. Wasn't too busy. Seated quickly and got our food in good time. I had the Double Trouble. Huge! It's like a grilled cheese sandwich and hamburger had a kid! Good food and price. Service was good.

    Onion Ring Loaf

    If you're looking for American food, Billy McHales is, in my opinion, Probably one of the best in Federal Way. The ribs were so tender, they practically fall off the bone. The service has always been great and our server, Micheal, was very tentative. Always keep our waters full and I was never without. There's a cool train that runs across along the ceiling which the kids (and some adults) love to watch.

    Bowl Seafood Chowder Soup

    Greasy food with mid service. Great ambiance for late night drinks with friends and coworkers. My bf and I had our eye on this place for about a year. So when we finally got the chance to try it we were excited. Sadly, we found out the food is far from worth it. I ordered the bowl of clam chowder (I wouldn't say it's award winning), ordered prime rib dip and paid an extra $1.99 to make it a Plus Dip (totally not worth it. The same crispy onions from the loaf are used on the sandwich..). The prime rib meat was dry and tough. The crispy Onion Ring Loaf caught our eye because it said thinly sliced onions. Huge disappointment when it came to the table. Whoever is in charge of prep, those onions are not thinly sliced. They are thickly cut, not all onions are covered in batter and when sliced open it's grease that oozes out. Couldn't and didn't want to have a tummy full of greasy thick cut onions that weren't battered or crispy. We tried to bring this up with our waitress, Jordan, yet it seemed to have gone over her head and ignored every little request or comment we had. We even asked her how the onion loaf was made but the way she described it made it sound revolting. The vibes of her were not as welcoming as the host and she didn't seem to care at all of our concerns.

    I have been going here since like the 80's, the building used to have real charm and lots of cool things like a train that ran around the top of the restaurant, and stuffed bears. I hadn't eaten here since the 90's because when the old location closed, I had no idea they had moved... I thought they just closed... So when they popped up on my grub hub, I literally dropped everything to go have dinner. Their new location feels like it doesn't know what it is, it's kinda a sports bar, kinda a BBQ restaurant... I dunno it feels like it really lost that charm it used to have. They still have the train but it's just a little one, and the big stuffed bears are gone. On the other hand the food is still just as great. Their BBQ sauce is very unique and tastes the exact same as I remember. The onion loaf took me back. Their price on their ribs has become astronomical so I went with burgers they were really good tho. And service was impeccable, the waitress was very attentive and kept our drinks full and checked on us often. Over all I would still highly recommend it, but to all the people who remember the old days, it isn't quite the same.

We were pleasantly greeted and escorted to a table. The hostess started to seat us in an area that the tables are placed very close together and next to a table full of adult diners. We had our grandchildren with us and I could see that wouldn't work so I asked to be placed at a booth which wouldn't be so intrusive to other diners and she was able to accommodate us. There is no denying that tables are placed very close together here. Our waiter was very professional and the staff worked as a team. The food here is very good and the servings are large. With that said I gave it a much better review this time. I just can't give it a 5 because of the seating. I would recommend trying it. If you don't mind dining in tight quarters this a great place for good food.

Both items were so beautiful !! It looked so good and I couldn't wait to dig in. The latte was a deep disappointment.

It just tasted like a kids type vanilla milk and left a weird after taste. Then I tried the French toast and realized these are the same type of French toast I buy from the freezer section when I go snowboarding. You pop them in the microwave but have to eat them quick otherwise the steam wears off and your French toast becomes stiff. They were not fresh, made from batter and cooked on a stove top. I don't think they microwaved them long enough because the corners were rock hard and the middle was a little rubbery. I wouldn't be upset if it wasn't $12 for the French toast. I should've just went to ihop lol. But again, at least everything looked pretty and the staff was nice.

We were out celebrating my buddy's birthday today, and started out next door for some smokes and drinks. I had a plan for some choices for his bday dinner, and he opted with Ms. Jane's inside BJ's Casino. First off... this place is very elegant with a fine dining experience. Secondly, Cassandra was absolutely superb!! We all thoroughly had an amazing experience, from the drinks, appetizers, to our entrees, and the service. The Lavender Martini was top notch, and we also ordered the White Mojito. That mojito was crisp and refreshing! Two spectacular cocktails. As for our meals, undeniably unbelievable!! I ordered the 12oz. Ribeye, with Garlic Potatoes and crisp Broccolini. So crisp and a unique almost vinaigrette flavoring, with a subtle spice. As a side, we ordered the Thousand Layer Potato. My first time ever having this, but seen how it was made on a video. Simply divine. My wife ordered the Braised Bison over Polenta, with some Carrots. This is the tastiest Bison we've ever had!! We finished the evening with a Dubai Chocolate Fudge Sunday, and Cassandra gave us each a spoon to share in this decadence. Needless to say, my buddy had an incredible day of celebration!

Turns out it's the former, at least in atmosphere. The service was genuinely lovely from start to finish. The host, server, and table assistants were warm and attentive. No notes there. We went with the ribeye prix fixe, which felt like the obvious call given that Ms. Jane's has built its reputation around it. The menu included a salad, two ribeyes with mashed potatoes and broccoli, and dessert for $150 plus wine. The salad was beautiful and delicious. It just could've used some cheese, and I will die on that hill. The mashed potatoes were legitimately outstanding and nearly redeemed the entire evening on their own. The broccoli was fine. Broccoli is always just fine. Then there were the ribeyes. They were enormous, beautifully presented, and unfortunately not much else. Both cuts had an excessive amount of fat and lacked the depth of flavor you'd expect from a restaurant that's staked its identity on this one dish. We make better steaks at home, which is not something you want to be thinking about after dropping $150 before wine. Dessert closed things out on a high note. A chocolate and vanilla mousse topped with genuinely delicate whipped cream. In the moment we told ourselves we'd come back and try something else. A few days of reflection later, that enthusiasm cooled but it didn't disappear entirely. The service was too good, the mashed potatoes too memorable, and the mousse too solid to write the place off completely. Ms. Jane's clearly has something going on. We just hope the ribeye isn't the thing they're most proud of.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
