Great location on the corner of C St In Hamilton. Happy Hour from 4-6. Had the pretzel bites with cheese spread, similar to a cheese ball, delicious. $6 old fashioned's with Benchmark Bourbon and the bartender makes a great old fashioned. My wife had the Oktoberfest Burger with sauerkraut, beer brats, mustard cheese sauce on a pretzel bun, yes it's as good as it sounds. I had the Big Blue burger blackened seasoning, onion straws, maple mustard and blue cheese. So gooood. I'll be back for the old fashioned's, great food and service. Plus I have to try the fried Bologna sandwich. read more

Tried for first time this past Friday. The service was great. I ordered the like Margarita and it was perfect! Not too sweet. The burgers are double stacked smashed burgers but well seasoned with yummy toppings. I also tried the crispy brussel sprouts with hot honey. These were good but a little on the sweet side for me. Others at my table ordered the buffalo Mac n cheese and the regular Mac n cheese w grippos topping and they both seemed to enjoy them. read more

Was craving a good sandwich or burger for the night and the brewery we were at "municipal brewery" mentioned Billy Yanks. We got there it was booming, but put our name in and waited 10 minutes when quoted 30. Sat down and immediately got help. Looking at the menu we saw great sandwich options, some having spam on it. Never having spam ever I had to try. I got the "big kahuna" wife got "fried bologna". I got fries for the side and they were ok, wife got Mac and cheese with grippos chips and that was awesome. Got the food in a good time frame for how busy it was and I have to say the guys at the brewery knew what they were talking about. Food was hot and I'm a fan of spam on a burger. Just look at the pictures. read more

Everything was good, service, food and staff. It is a great SMALL place, but the food was really good.

The Harvest salad was delicious but was smaller than expected for the price. The staff was impressive, knowledgeable, and courteous.

We came here to celebrate a birthday. Great food and outstanding service! The crispy Brussels and chickpea appetizer was delicious. Most of us had burgers and I would definitely get the Billy Burger again. It reminded me of a Big Boy but way better. They have a bourbon bar on the other side but we didn't venture over there. Great place for lunch or dinner. read more

Writing this while still in the restaurant because it was so good! First visit and definitely impressed! I got the Buffalo chicken grilled cheese and pineapple smash cocktail. Fries were a little salty but I'm also not a huge fan of salt so that may just be me. Sandwich was delicious and tried a bite of the grippos Mac & cheese-highly recommended! Service was great, ate so fast they didn't even have time to check on us (seriously we inhaled our food!). Will for sure be back and next time try the cocktail bar! read more

Burger was amazing. Brussel sprouts were delicious! Service was quick and workers were nice!

This place is fantastic! Grabbed seats at the bar on Saturday evening. Lively crowd and upbeat, casual atmosphere. The two bartenders were very welcoming and we enjoyed their drink and food recos and small talk. Impressive bourbon selection. I started with an old fashioned. He started with a pour of New Riff. We tried the tempura pickles as an app - a decadent twist on fried pickle chips. I got the patty melt on rye (which was out of sight!) with a side of the brussels sprouts, which were amazing! He got the pot roast French dip and said it was fantastic. So if you want a casual-cool atmosphere with great drinks and great food - this is definitely one to check out! read more

Went to Billy Yanks last night for my wedding anniversary with my wife and 9-year-old daughter. The menu looked great, I love bourbon, and this place was recommended by friends of ours. When we got there, we put our name on the waitlist. The wait was short and the hostess showed us to our table. As we were being seated, the hostess stated that we needed to be out of the restaurant within the hour due to a large group coming in soon. We probably could have swung it but I didn't want to be rushed. Telling us we are getting kicked out within an hour is information you lead with before being put on a waitlist. Super annoyed!!!!! read more

Oh man. I can't even explain to you how much I love their burgers and fries. If you love burgers go here. You will not be disappointed. We always eat outside which is nice. The service is always great. In fact it's so great I made friends with a server who served me once! read more

I have lived in Hamilton my entire life. Billy Yank's statue was a staple image of Hamilton! I grew up with memories of walking down Main Street to Tom's Cigar and spending summer days at the local dollar cinema. For a Hamilton OG like myself, this place is simply incredible. This restaurant is what I thought downtown could become after visiting all types of revitalizing cities. They nailed it! Food and drink was incredible. You must visit this place. Hamilton is on the rise folks! read more

Great food and drinks and price is right. I have never had a bad meal or drink there and will continue to come back.

YUM! What a fun experience this was. We were originally quoted 40-50 minutes for two at 6:15pm on Friday, however only had to wait about 20 minutes. So if you are pressed for time probably not the place for you. The atmosphere was amazing and so was the food and service! Everything was really quick and our server was great! The drinks are top notch, just a little small. The burger was cooked perfectly and the Mac and cheese was good. It couple use some thicker cheese in the Mac and cheese or combined with a cheese with a little more flavor. I would be back for sure. read more

Took a group of 10 on a Friday night and it was packed. About an hour wait but went quick as there's plenty to walk around to in the Hamilton DORA while you wait. Once seated service was awesome and apps came out quickly. Spam Fries!!! All the food was prepared as desired and everyone dug in to their burgers. Biggest comment of the night was "French fries are like steak and shake". Ha! read more

Was a little disappointed in this place. The drinks were pricey for their size. The food menu is small and is not worth the cost. It is very thin burgers stacked twice and more comparable to a fast food chain. I feel sad writing this review and really hope they correct some things for the future. The vibe is cool and I love the little bar room they had and that there was a patio outside. Nice decor. read more

Very good food and service. We were only there for dessert and drinks and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere is sleek and cozy.

Best place in Hamilton. Or Oxford. Or anywhere near by. Best burger I've had in years. Great service. No wonder the wait time can be long. Worth it. read more

Interesting and somewhat unexpected menu. Diverse offerings that cater to the foodie and bar food eaters alike.

Excellent food and services! Menu was different than most which I enjoyed the variety! We sat outside on the patio with the beautiful weather. I would definitely go back. read more

Food was a delicious and a decent price (Nashville hot sandwich and blackened chicken sandwich), service was friendly, and it was lively in there! Definitely will be returning. Everything sounded good in their menu so it was hard to choose! read more

food was good! service was good everything was nice so we will try more off the menu besides the burger. read more

This place is awesome. The decor - especially all the different wallpapers- is great! The food is delicious! We had the fried bologna sandwich. It comes with grippo potato chips and a yummy sauce. Also had the Billy burger. Double stacked with grilled onions, cheese and pickles. The side of brussel sprouts was delicious. Came out hot and crusty. There is a bar inside the restaurant and a small bourbon bar attached next door. We had bourbon cocktails before dinner while we waited. This little bourbon bar is very quaint. All the staff were friendly and laid back. Highly recommend this place. read more

They have a unique but smaller menu. Nice size drinks selection and desserts. Very cute decor and nice bathrooms as well.

The atmosphere was nice and having the big glass window to see out onto the street was neat. The food was okay, I got a burger and so did my husband, it wasn't the best seasoned but it was alright. The pretzel bites were overdone and the cheese it came with to dip was freezing cold so a bit weird. But I would go back to try different items if it was the closest eatery I was near. read more

The Cajun meatloaf was Epic!! I wish I had the recipe lol! Fun atmosphere and great food!

Call early for reservations. Very good very friendly. Pleasant atmosphere. Service is fast , and friendly.

Stopped in for lunch. Had a burger and it was very good. Nice atmosphere and quick attentive service. I'll visit again.

Great service and bourbon collection, but the food and ambiance was just average for my liking.

Awesome food! Cool atmosphere. Super friendly staff I will be back. Went on a Friday night it was busy we got sat quickly and got the fried bologna sandwich. It was so good! read more

This place is super cute and our service was awesome. Food and drinks came out fast. Drinks were great. I got a mimosa and my bf got a margarita. We ordered the meatloaf and the Nashville hot Mac and cheese. The food was just okay nothing special. The meatloaf was dry and the carrots were not cooked. The Mac and cheese seemed watery even though the chicken that was in the Mac and cheese had a super great taste. Good place for downtown Hamilton but lost some stars because of the food. I saw some good looking burgers so we may be back to give those a try read more

I can't believe this place gets 4-1/2 stars. Burgers that fall apart when you eat them. Steak n Shake style fries. Unseasoned bland side dishes. High bar prices. We've been several times now and while I won't say I won't go back, it will never be a first choice. read more

Casual American restaurant & bar. Food was excellent. Brussels Sprouts & chick pea side/appetizer is highly recommended. Southwest Salad with shrimp was fresh and quite tasty. My companion RAVED about the Fried Bologna sandwich - it looked fantastic with thick well-fried bologna topped with grippos potato chips. Service was top notch, server quite attentive without being over bearing. Will definitely go back! read more

The building is very nice inside and is extremely clean but there is limited space! The food is very delicious and there are many different options! Workers are really respectful and I would recommend Billy Yanks to anyone wanting a nice indoor meal. read more

A great find in Hamilton. We ate here recently for the first time and definitely plan on coming back. Everything we ordered was very good and the service was great. We went for lunch when it wasn't very busy. read more
