Top Review: “While traveling in Branson, MO we wanted a good country breakfast. Decided to give this place a try.  When we arrived there was quite a wait.  It’s pretty small inside with few tables.  We finally got sat after about 25 min at the counter.  We were greeted right away by our very friendly server. I ordered a combo breakfast with French toast, eggs and sausage.  I added a biscuit.  Everything was very tasty.  They had both sausage Pattie’s and links.  Tyke bit of a kick.  The links were a bit on the sweeter side.  The French toast was made with homemade bread.  It was nice an cinnamony with a dust of powdered sugar.  The biscuit was a bit on the dry side, but with some butter it was ok.  Our server was very quick to fill our coffees and never let them dip below a half a cup.  If you’re in the area, give this place a try.”Michele M.

Top Review: “After seeing almost every review was five stars i was skeptical.  Impossible to be perfect!  But i have to confess, these are 5 star cinnamon rolls.  Probably the best i have ever had.  We bought the regular ones but they do have other flavors depending on the day.  Many times cinn rolls are dry between the layers but not these.  Every bite and every layer was filled with buttery, cinnamon, gooey sweetness with plenty of icing on top.  Ours were still warm from the oven which made them even better.  Be aware these rolls are not small. One is plenty for most people.  We also bought the fritters; very good. Keep in mind this is a small shop. So selection may vary by the day but cinn rolls are the specialty.  If i lived nearby i would be here every week.”Greg H.

Top Review: “Loved coming to Billy Gail’s. I hadn’t been in a few years but, we were in town visiting family and came by on the way to Silver Dollar City. Love that they take credit cards now! I got the sloppy biscuit with sausage. The sausage gravy was very good and the hashbrowns fantastic and very crispy. My fiancée got the big breakfast and I had forgotten how huge the pancakes were! Easily the size of a small pizza. And they were some of the best pancakes we have had in our life. The breakfast was so good and huge and easily enough for two people. Highly recommend this place!”Emilee D.

Top Review: “We sure wish we had found this place earlier in our trip and that our trip was longer, because we likely would have eaten here every day and tried lunch and after hours.  The environment was beautiful, the staff all amazing, and the food and coffee was a hit with every member of our family.   The pancakes were crispy and fluffy and the avocado toast was a wonderful change compared to other heavy breakfasts in town.  The Mocha was hard not to gulp.  There were some grumbles from other tables about having to go up and order and grab food but we loved that and felt it was a very efficient and no big deal at all and assumed it was likely staffing.  Will be top of our list for now on!”Paige M.

Top Review: “Breakfast served all day! A friend and I stopped here for breakfast and it was tasty. I ordered the 1 egg breakfast ($9.00) and subbed a pancake for the biscuit/toast option. There was no upcharge for subbing which was awesome and this pancake was a meal within itself! The entire breakfast was HUGE and tasty! My friend had an omelet and really enjoyed it as well. The employees all worked together to take care of the customers and multiple people came by to check on us.”Sara L.

Top Review: “I would HIGHLY recommend checking out this restaurant!!! It’s off the beaten path which was really nice! It had great service and the food came out fast but was fresh and very very tasty. We got the onion rings as an appetizer and they were HUGE and yummy! Could have fed 7-9 people easily and we only had three of us! Two of us shared the bacon avocado chicken sandwich and it was also very tasty and well seasoned. The lava cake was a great finisher, though we hardly had room! The staff was very attentive, fun, and super personable!!! We really enjoyed sitting outdoors and the view was pretty even though you can’t quite see the lake! We didn’t feel rushed at all and really got to soak in our dinner and enjoy the beautiful weather at our own pace. All in all, it was a great experience and I would really recommend if you’re looking for a relaxed atmosphere and a restaurant with a nice view/outdoor seating!”David W.
