    We chose Billy’s from reviews off other platforms. They were rated top 10. We were visiting from another state for a conference. We had an amazing experience at Billy’s. The atmosphere was great. The food was hot and delicious. I had the duck dish and my husband had the filet mignon. We recommend both dishes. The rolls that they provided with homemade honey was very tasty.  The staff was great and attentive. We did not get to try the dessert because we were too full. The dessert looked amazing. I would recommend to anyone in the area to try them. They will not disappoint. We will definitely be back if we are in the area.

    Our dinner guests, who had never dined at Billy's, were very pleased with their experience at Billy's. The server was amazing, remembering our names and drinks of choice from only one previous time she had served us. We, as well as our guests were happy with the food and service. Chef Nader even created a custom meal for one of us. Billy's is a great, quiet, and cozy place to enjoy your evening.

    Billy’s is an enjoyable restaurant to dine at. The atmosphere is very quiet and cozy, which makes intimate conversations great. The food is always excellent and chef Nader will do any customization to your order that you may desire simply by asking. A great hidden neighborhood gem.

    Billy's Restaurant is a local family owned business doing business since the 1980's. It is a quaint place that is homey and refreshing. My wife and I go there a lot since it is very quiet making conversation more pleasing and enjoyable. The wait staff as well as the owners are like family, always being friendly and attending to your dining needs. The food is always great and they go out of their way to customize any dish to your liking. Exceptional!

    Amazing place and service! The staff was so kind and attentive and Chef came out twice to chat. The portions are HUGE! Everything was absolutely delicious--from the drinks, to the appetizers, to the meal! No room for dessert, but it looked amazing too.

    There is a reason Billy’s has been open for almost 40 years. Absolutely delicious! And the service is phenomenal. Chef Nader came and checked on us twice and our server was extremely attentive.
