What a fun start to a quick overnight getaway! We started our day with brunch at Billy Yanks and it was a great start. First, the drinks. So good and so strong. We tried the Bloody Mary and the Expresso Martini. We liked them so much we went back later for some drinks to go! For brunch we split the avocado toast and I am still thinking about how good it was. Fresh sourdough topped with avocado, arugula, a scrambled egg and a surprising (but delicious) addition of blackberry. read more

Me and boo was walking around downtown Hamilton and decided to stop here to get a bite. We were not disappointed either . We ordered Brussels sprouts covered with hot honey and chickpeas as an appetizer and they were cooked right, crunchy, the hot honey flavor really popped and overall a plate licker . I ordered the birria dip, which was beef birria inside French bread, and consonme dip. I swear I only ate a quarter of it . The meat was seasoned super well and the consonme was even better. I loved everything about it. My boo ordered a burger. I can't quite remember which one but I know he said it was pretty good. We did order drinks as well I ordered a margarita ofc and he ordered a lemonade cooler if I'm not mistaken. Our server was pretty nice and patient. We sat outside because it was a good day, and the patio area was a pretty decent size. 10/10 definitely recommend read more

Delicious meals, attentive and personal service, outstanding bourbon selection. Highly recommend.

A fantastic casual spot to get a meal. I had their signature burger, which was only $13 and came with tasty little skinny fries. I only tried the burger, but I would recommend the read more

The space is great, we had the opportunity to sit outside on the patio and that was great for the beautiful night we had. The service was good throughout the whole evening, attentive and timely. The appetizer was amazing (chefs kiss)! Both of our meals were also delicious. The Mac and cheese was a miss for us, we didn't really like it very much. We also had a cookie for dessert and this was also a miss for us. It was dry and pretty bland, definitely some areas for improvement. Overall, still a yummy dinner but the few misses on the food knocks it down to 4 stars for us. read more

The building isn't very spacious so we sat in the whiskey bar area (separate room) behind the larger bar. It was far quieter and we had our own bartender in the room. We tried a few beers on tap before having a tasty shrimp appetizer. The chicken sandwich I had after was also decent. Fries were on the smaller side but I liked the sauce. By far my favorite thing about the building was the staff, the patio cat, and the comic book walls inside the bathroom. Try to go anytime but the weekend for less of a wait! read more

Great food at an inflated price. But good I will recommend for you to have an all female staff there but who am I.

Heard about Billy Yanks $8 burger meal special on mondays, me and my girl being big burger connoisseurs, we had to check it out. We went in about an hour before close. Took a minute to get seated. Server approached us after a little with a smile and friendly attitude. Tonight we wanted to make it simple, try out a cheap burger, maybe a beer and get on the road. Our server understood that and was super cool about it. She walked us though the deal, cheeseburger with onions lettuce and pickle plus fries. I added egg to mine. Good choice too for only 2 bucks more. I got the nirvana or bust on tap from third eye brewery as well, shout out third eye. For $8, you can't go wrong with this burger. It's a solid 7/8/10. A good burger, nothing mind blowing, but would come back for it again. Fries were shoestring and crispy. The house sauce was good. Bathroom atmosphere was a surprise. The entire men's bathroom has comics all over the wall, you won't go bored while taking a leak, that's for sure. read more

Great food, large portions, very friendly service! Clean and has an outside patio. Never a long wait from ordering to delivery at the table!

Met a friend for lunch about 12:30 on the last Saturday in August. The place was not packed but there was a constant flow of people. Friend has been here before and knew exactly what he wanted. He said their patty melt was what he wanted. He was definitely satisfied with his choice Took me a little bit but I found a spicy Tennessee fried chicken sandwich. It was worth the look. It was delicious. Only 11 miles away so I'll definitely go back Service was very good and cute waitress as well Will return Onion rings were disappointing Dr read more

We visit pretty frequently. This trip was not our favorite. Took 15 mins to get waited on. Another 10-15 to get our drinks and then finally we were able to order. Food came quick but after someone dropped off the food we never once seen the server again until I flagged down someone for another beer which we never got, and another for boxes. Finally we seen her with the boxes. Got the check it was $54 and some change I gave her 80 and ask for change. She came back with a 5 and my 20. Unfortunately I didn't have anything smaller to give her so she didn't get a good tip. Unsure if it was her first night week or first job but more training needs done here. Coming from a bar/restaurant manager. read more

Stumbled upon this local spot while shopping in downtown Hamilton. Friendly service but doesn't extend to too much conversation as the table is serviced. Ate here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch during brunch hours. Ordered the salmon BLT which was pretty good with tasty fries. Restaurant doesn't seat too many people. Clean, organized, and many people working. Parking is a little challenging so be prepared to drive around looking for a close spot. Not a bourbon drinker but noticed they carry mostly Buffalo Trace. Try this restaurant out of on the area!! read more

This is a super cute little spot on Main St, in the newly revitalized area of Hamilton. Parking is difficult. The restaurant location has a rich history (the historic Hammel Building). We were a bit let down. After studying the menu and looking for a specific item I saw reviewed here, I had to settle for the Strawberry Fields salad. It was decent, but I feel it's unacceptable for the kitchen/wait staff not to communicate to the customers when an item included in the entree is not in stock. When I realized it was missing from my salad, I was eventually able to bring this to our servers attention. After being told they're out, our bill was not adjusted to reflect the missing item. The problem is, had I added something to replace that missing item, I would've been charged. The pretzel bites with the pimento cheese was 5 stars. My salad was 2 stars. My husband's burger was 3.5 stars. The service was 2 stars. The area is nice! We plan to try another restaurant in the area soon! read more

So glad to see these outstanding people again . Had so much fun. Food was great and service even better. Love you all!

Excellent food and service. I highly recommend checking Billy Yanks out, you won't be disappointed

The spam burger is amazing. Service and the entire place was great will definitely be back

Came here Friday evening for dinner and drinks with some family. Had a little bit of a wait. But wasn't too bad. 3 of us got burgers and fries or onion rings and my niece got the fried chicken. We all ordered drinks. All babe I'm a timely manner and tasted really good. Good was super tasty, hot and fresh. I loved that the burgers were smash burgers with the crisp on the edges. I loved the batter on the onion rings too. Portions were pretty big as well. Our waitress was very attentive and kept our drinks refilled. It was a bit noisy in there but it was pretty busy. Overall though, best place to get a burger and drinks. Definitely will come back soon! read more

I had a burger at Billy Yanks and it was delicious. I plan to return regularly to eat the server the atmosphere all were great.

The food was awesome had the fried bologna!!!! 10 out of 10 our sever made us wait a long time before greeting us and looked stressed out also the Brussel sprouts were amazing! read more

Surprisingly, the chilaquiles were some of the best my husband's had. The Billy Burger on Mondays is always a great fit at a great price.

Visited this past Saturday 10/11/25 while in town for a short visit. Walking in the door, the host did not lift her eyes from her phone to greet us. We waited for her attention and requested a table for two outside. Once she spoke to us, she was rude. Not sure what she said to us as she was walking away, but she was not welcoming in the least bit. Not a smile, not a kind word. Instead, she acted as if we were there to annoy her. I cannot believe people who work customer service are not trained to make people feel welcomed into their establishment. I guess we were supposed to follow her as she marched off with menus, and a sour look on her face. Needless to say, we decided to leave and find another location for lunch. Hopefully, she was just having a bad day & doesn't treat all their customers like that. read more

Excellent!!! These burgers are fantastic! I went with the basic but there are many options and as ones. The fries are fresh cut. The chili tastes a little too tomato. The Mac and cheese has grips on top which I love. The service is amazing as well! Everyone is friendly. They have pretty much any kind of alcohol, with a full bar and many cocktail options. It's really loud in here, they also have an outside patio! Loved this place! Everything is very clean and pristine! Classy! read more

Food is always good. Sitting at the bar is challenging especially with one bartender handling the bar and restaurant. Heard the espresso martinis were good and we Wanted to order another drink but she was too busy, takes too long . Went across the street to Immortal Vibes! read more

The service was very welcoming and accommodating and was able to customize my pasta dish for me (removing an ingredient). The pretzel sticks are a must, but I would recommend ordering what they are known for (burgers, Mac and cheese, etc!). I found the pasta to be mediocre, but their pub food is the real star of the show! read more

Always an enjoyable atmosphere. Food is consistently great and drinks are equally consistent.

Can't really say enough about this place. Service was great and the food was freaking awesome. Irish bar type atmosphere which was great to see. Where do I start with the food? Since we were first timers we got a little bit out of hand since there was really so much on the menu that looked really good. Egg rolls for app, awesome. Burgers since it was that kind of night: Billy Burger kicks ass. Their take on the Big Mac and we also got the Billy Blue. I gotta hand it to whoever they get their beef from because for being ground beef, it's got great flavor. Shoestring fries with the burgers and we finished with Apple Pie Bread Pudding and Pineapple Upside down Cake. I really wanted to try at least 4 other items on the menu so I guess we're going to have to return. Really wish there was one of these near Mason because I honestly don't come out to Hamilton too often. Nice work read more

Great burgers and great service. We keep coming back at least once a month and it never fails to satisfy. The old fashions are the best so give one a try if you stop in. read more

I had the Big Blue smash burger, which was delicious. Shoe string style fries were the side; they were crisp, hot and well seasoned with S&P. A Bloody Maria started me off. Pleasant and friendly staff. Clean bathroom (men's) and a nice environment for a Sunday brunch/lunch. read more

Don't waste your time. We sat at the bar and ordered a drink and food. The nasty attitude, dirty looks, lack of courtesy, and unfriendly demeanor from our bartender/server (Alayna), made us wonder why we drove 30 minutes to go there. Completely disappointed that a night out for my wife and I was an unfortunate experience. read more

Had a nice brunch there, which I think is new for them? Restaurant was empty when they opened at 10am. Really good food, though. The biscuits and gravy with chicken were excellent. My daughter loved their unique breakfast "burger" and I had the waffle with fruit and lemon curd. Very good! read more

Wow, first off the service was exceptional. The servers worked together also well that each one would stop and attend to whatever needed to be done. Definitely the best service I've experienced in a while. There is a full service bar and also table seating. There is an outdoor space in the back. We started with brussel sprouts as an appetizer- which were very tasty. Got the West Side salad with chicken for dinner and the sweet bourbon vinaigrette was very good. read more

The Burgers and the Bourbon selection are second to none. The specials are always worth a try. I loved this Caprice Burger! The Big Kahuna is an experience! Victory at Nashville and the Fried Bologna are great too. I've tried it all. Never been disappointed. This month's special Shrimp étouffée is wonderful. Fried chicken and meat loaf are delicious. Save room for the carrot cake. read more

Billy Yanks is amazing. The food is great. They have a good selection of craft beers. The fried bologna sandwich is a must.

Always friendly service and delicious food. I had the patty melt and onion rings (to die for). My husband had the Billy burger and MAC & cheese with grippos crumble on top. He really enjoyed it. Also they have good cocktails. We have only sat outside on the patio, very nice local place. read more

My BFF suggested Billy Yanks, so I brought my other BFF for dinner. A Wednesday afternoon at 5pm and they only had 3 tables empty. All I can say is this was some of the best service I have ever seen let along in a small restaurant/bar. The food was amazing and I can't wait to come back again. Seriously the food here is wonderful and with the best service ever. What more could you ask for. My friends soda didn't even come close to being empty, my drink was amazing and the water (of course Hamilton water is perfect) was so good My burger was perfectly prepared and the fries were yummy. The cookie was a perfect ending to a wonderful meal. I walked into the bathroom before leaving and could not believe how clean it was let alone the cool factor. If you haven't been here, what are you waiting for? Seriously put this on your food bucket list and get here. read more

I have come to Billy Yanks rather frequently over the last few years, and I have not had a bad experience to this day. Their food selection is great, from burgers, fries, chicken and waffles, apps, etc. each item is prepared with excellence. The staff has always been incredibly pleasant, prices are very fair, and even on busy nights, once you sit down at a table, it doesn't take forever to get your food. The building is a beautiful historic building, and there's plenty of parking in the evening at the lot off of C street. Billy Yank's WILL be your new favorite place! read more
