    Cinnamon roll pancake
    Michelle H.

    Let me tell you I'm a huge breakfast fan! I LOOOVE a good breakfast. I was in Branson for spring break, and Billy Gail's Ultimate Breakfast Combo is my favorite thing I ate for my whole time in Branson. I chose bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and a French toast pancake. I had enough for 2 meals. It was very delicious, and I'm a breakfast snob. My brother had the cinnamon roll pancake and loved it. There were 9 of us, ages 9-77, and everyone enjoyed their meals.

    If you are looking for a great breakfast place in Branson, this is it! Fabulous food, friendly service, big portions, whatever you are looking for, Billy Gail's has it all. Our server was great and was happy to give us recommendations from the menu. Absolutely everything we tried was delicious. One of my favorites was the huge biscuit and side of white gravy. This sausage gravy was so good! And, of course, the 14 inch pancakes were the bomb. My husband and I couldn't even finish half of that after all of the other deliciousness, but we made a good effort, lol. Don't miss out on Billy Gail's the next time you visit Branson!

    Service was super fast and our waiter Carissa was great! We came in on a Thursday around midday and it was pretty busy, but the service was still way quicker than we expected.My son ordered the 14-inch pancake, and we all got a kick out of how HUGE it was My daughter ordered the kids pancake, and even that was a good size! I ordered the meat omelet, but it was a little too greasy for me, so I ended up sending it back and having it taken off the bill.The rolls and hashbrowns were really good though! Overall, for the amount of food you get, the prices are very reasonable. The portions are definitely big, and we had a good experience. We would come back again to try more!

    Fried fish
    Kristi S.

    We went with a very large group and we had a prefixed menu. My husband ordered the fish and it was delicious! I was low-key jealous however I was craving something sweet so I went with them giant pancake with hashbrowns and bacon. Very good. We had fantastic service, the food came out fast, and 36 people said they enjoyed their meals! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only downside is that the seats in both sides of our booth were broken down so when you sat down, your butt went straight to the wood. Absolutely no cushion at all, and you were about 6 inches shorter than you needed to be.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Pancakes and million dollar bacon are out of this world.

    EXCELLENT FOOD EXCELLENT SERVICE and our waitress ANGELA was OUT OF THIS WORLD. You must try the 3 way fried basket with chicken tenders, catfish, shrimp, hush puppies and fries. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I would move to Branson just for Billy Gail's.

    Pancake and bacon
    Scout R.

    The pancakes were so yummy! Usually hate places with big portions but this one doesn't disappoint. The bacon is also really yummy and the servers were so sweet! Make a stop here for breakfast

    Short stack.
    Dave L.

    Service was good. Regular stack of 2 pancakes fed 2 people easily and had enough leftovers for 3 additional meals. Food was tasty and filling. Highly recommend the pancakes.

    Lots of road and retail signs to look at.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]While you wait there are plenty of traffic signs and other local memorabilia on the walls to review here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But, our breakfast selection came up quickly, so there wasn't much of a wait. We two chose Billy Gayle's classic breakfast combo, which included its legendary 14-inch pancake, plus scrambled eggs, plus ham steak, plus a couple of slices of bacon, plus hash browns. That combo cost less than two standard entrées and was more than enough for two. Everything was well cooked; service was attentive. About that pancake: If you're not too hungry, a quarter of it is slightly smaller than the standard IHOP pancake, meaning one can feed multiple diners.

    Biscuits & Gravy Combo
    Christy S.

    We have visited another location, and were told that there was less of a crowd at this location. We were glad for that advice because there was no wait at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is just a fun place with great breakfast food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The item they are famous for is the giant vanilla pancake. It is not just a gimmick, it is really good! Their biscuits and gravy is also fantastic. We haven't tried anything that we didn't like. If you want a great breakfast, but don't want to wait in a long line, check out this location of Billy Gail's.

    14" pancake

    Really good food and the portions are HUGE! Biscuits & gravy was top notch. The sloppy biscuit was really good (I should've asked for jalapeños). The 14" pancake had awesome flavor and it was a fun treat. Our whole table split it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only complaint is that the restaurant was so warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Thanksgiving lunch (minus the pie)
    Angela S.

    We went in as a party of 7 on Thanksgiving day. We knew there would be a wait, but it wasn't bad! We arrived at 11 and were seated just before noon. They had an excellent Thanksgiving meal of ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, yams, stuffing, pie, oh MY! My daughters ordered the double chocolate pancake. They loved it too! Huge portions so dinner is covered. Parking is simple and I'd Highly recommend our server, Miss Pat. She is awesome!

    We drove by this location our first day in town and commented on how busy it was. I had seen reviews about this place and also recommendations on various Branson FB forums. The next morning, didn't feel like making breakfast over the campfire, and yogurt just wasn't cutting it, so I started searching for breakfast places when I remembered what I had seen about this place... and it just happened to be about 10 down the road from us. The parking lot was busy, but not as busy as the day before. I remember commenting, "I wonder how long the wait will be". Walk in and greeted enthusiastically. What a welcoming feeling. We're sat immediately. Then another thought, " we'll probably be waiting for a while before someone gets to us". Maybe it's not the best attitude to have... but most restaurants now are like that... unfortunately. To my surprise, our server greeted us within minutes of sitting down. She was so joyous and truly you could see she loved her job and loved what she was doing. I forget her name. :( we ordered while the kids colored and again... within minutes our food had arrived, and the food was delicious! My husband did devour the entire 14in cinnamon roll pancake... didn't even share with me. Hahah I got the campfire breakfast, delicious! Huge portions. I am not one to spend money on eating out for breakfast as I'm usually left feeling unsatisfied from bland boring food. I would happily return if we're ever in the area again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Delicious food, joyous energetic and welcoming atmosphere and ambiance. And amazing service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Dessert! $7 per slice
    Catharine T.

    Billy Gail's in Branson definitely lives up to the hype. It's always packed, but they keep things moving and the service is quick even with the crowds. We got the sweet pancake and it was bigger than half our two-person table, no exaggeration. It's one of those "you have to see it to believe it" kind of dishes. We also ordered two buttermilk biscuits à la carte and they were huge, fluffy, and just as impressive. Portions here are massive across the board, so come hungry or plan to share. Prices are fair for the amount of food you get, which makes it an easy stop if you're looking for a fun, over-the-top breakfast experience.

Day 1: Line waiting to get in. 15 minutes passed fast as I was talking with some folks that were eating there for their 4th day in a row. They invited me to sit with them, and we had a wonderful conversation. Literally made new friends before ever eating a bite. The coffee was very good. My eggs benedict was very good, not excellent but still yummy. Our server forgot my orange juice which I remembered hours later. Checked my receipt and I did pay for it. Day 2: No line. I opted to sit upstairs as the downstairs is noisy due to the crowd. Upstairs was quiet and the view is beautiful from up there, too. I had the eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns with biscuit and gravy. All were very good, but I'll pass on the biscuits and gravy next time. Again, the coffee was very good and the server brought the OJ I didn't get the day before. Servers are very good and friendly. Super busy handling a lot of orders. Overall, they get 5 stars. The owner stopped and said hello and she's very friendly as well. The overall feeling of the place is all are welcome; families, couples, and singles. Food was served quickly so it was easy to be in and out and on my way. Paying at the time of ordering is great! No waiting on the ticket to pay so you can get up and leave much faster. Tipping can be done at the time of the order or afterwards. Gift the server cash and they'll appreciate it. Parking is easy right out front. Use caution pulling out onto the highway when leaving. Some folks drive that road like it's a racetrack. The restroom is right at the front door which is convenient. It's nice and clean. Pricing in comparable to other places in Branson. I didn't try their cinnamon rolls because nothing could beat the cinnamon rolls at Cinnamon Nook A Small Batch Bakery a short distance from Steamy Joe Cafe. Next time I'm in the area, I will be back to Steamy Joe Cafe.

The guys behind the buffet had to constantly deal with kids standing in the way as they carried hot food from the kitchen. No one was rude or even short with anyone patrons. My waitress, Jacqueline, was so very sweet. She kept my drinks full and got me extra plates. Don't listen to the hateful comments on here. This place had great, fresh food with awesome service. I plan to always come back in the future. Next time I'll try the omelet station. It looked amazing!
