Every day funk is what going Rogue is all about. Crazy tall light fixtures and walls that glow set against sand-blasted brick and well-worn hardwood floors. Menu-wise, going Rogue means doing things in the kitchen others said couldn’t be done. Like a completely fresh burger served medium-rare to make it the juiciest and best tasting in town. Or corn-dogs your not supposed to want but secretly crave. Going Rogue means your horizons are greater than the “usual suspects” of chain restaurants. Rogue gives it’s customer an eclectic enough offering of food and surroundings, that they can feel and be themselves. You can go Rogue when you’re slumming, you can go Rogue when you need to impress. You can go Rogue with a date, your mates or with your boss. Best of all, you can afford to go Rogue every day of the week. Need a stiff drink and tasty meal to get you through your daily grind and have enough left over to do it all again tomorrow? Go Rogue.

I had a friend gathering at little Billy tonight. The food and service are excellent. The environment is wonderful, I love the music is not too loud, so that I have a great chat with my friend. Highly recommended and definitely will go back again.

Had a really lovely time! Sat in the booths close to the kitchen in the evening and the noise level was fine. Got the tasting menu with mocktail pairings and flavours were really great. Fave mocktail was the Kyoto Summer (tho Romance Dawn was a close second just for the One Piece reference) and fave dish was the cod, it was perfect. Used to get kickass rice bowls all the time from their food truck Le Tigre pre-pandemic and I'm so happy I finally made it here. They also brought us an extra dessert as it was my partners birthday. Would go back!
