    Biggest pancake I've ever seen
    Julia H.

    The waitress was awesome! The food was kind of hit and miss. My cousin ordered the chicken and pancake. The biggest pancake I've ever seen! My other cousin had the country breakfast and an order of grits. He said the best grits he's had. My Gail's Famous Omelette was good. I asked them for soft cooked but didn't quite get it. Hubby ordered the 1 Lb Ham breakfast which came with 2 eggs and hash browns and toast. He said the country ham was really good but everything else came out cold. Cute eclectic place. Get there early! It gets packed!

    14" pancake

    Went to Billy Gail's this morning, seated very quick. Jennifer our waitress started us with coffee and water. Gave us plenty of time to look and gasp at the food sizes. We had been before but forgot how much food you received. We ordered omelets, wife thought we needed one pancake (14"), way too much food. Jennifer out our food which was very warm, nice presented on plate and set down the pancake. We ate what we could and took home wife's omelet, hash browns my biscuit (for her), and 1/2 of the pancake. Breakfast tomorrow

    Ultimate combo

    This a total country breakfast experience. Decor is rustic country, lots of license plates and signs on walls. Lots of booths and tables. Servers add to the atmosphere. Massive pancakes, well made, can taste the vanilla. Generous portions for everything. Left satisfied and with leftovers.

    [July 2025] This place is a huge tourist attraction. Parking is very difficult. We ended up having to park across the street at a neighboring business' lot that wasn't open yet. I had Gail's Famous Omelet - Ham, mushrooms, cheddar jack cheese, onions and green and red peppers. The omelet was perfect in thickness and the toppings were balanced. They omelet paired well with their garlic hot sauce. I had hash browns and wheatberry toast for my sides. My brother ordered their infamous 14" pancakes. Their bacon is crispy and thick. Their coffee was good too! My mom had a BLT with fries. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we definitely will be back when we are in Branson again.

    French toast, crispy bacon, well done but raw hash browns, bacon.

    This was the very worst meal we had while on our trip. The waiter Joshua was slow to greet us and once he took our order we never heard from hom again. If you want a big pancake by all means go. The French toast was mediocre and the chicken fried steak was burnt and inedible. The decorations were cute with a 70's theme. This was a big bummer for us.

    Deluxe Hash with Tri-tip
    Florence V.

    After driving overnight from Denver for our vacation, we were starving. Luckily, Billy Gail's was open and seated us right away. Our server was so amazing! I regretfully forget her name, but I want to say it was Regina (sorry, if I'm completely off on the name). We were greeted immediately upon being seated where our server told us she would be right with us after attending to another table. Once she came back, she introduced herself and told us about the specials then asked if we would like coffee. Yes, we both definitely want coffee. She went to get coffee and allowed us to look at their extensive menu. We ordered the billion dollar bacon as our appetizer. I ordered their deluxe hash with tri-tip and the hubs ordered their chorizo burrito. The billion dollar bacon was so heavenly and I used the syrup to sweeten my coffee, which was so perfect! I can put down a lot of food, but that hash came out and it was HUGE! I ate it for about 45 min before tapping out and it looked like I took only 2 bites. That hash lasted me 3 more meals! It was so delicious and I wanted to eat more, but clearly ran out of stomach real estate. The hubs' burrito was delicious too and he only ate half of it. Had it been my meal, I would have eaten the entire thing but still would have been waddling out. The MOD came by to see how our meal was and of course, we told him it was amazing! If you love country food, you definitely need to come to Billy Gail's! The prices are amazingly low for the amount and quality of food you get. Get there early though, especially on a Sunday.

    This pancake was so delicious! We loved Billy Gail's so much the first time we couldn't wait to go back. This is a fun quirky restaurant! Our server was quick and friendly.

    Food was terrific as usual. It is always a stop when we visit Branson. Our server was Josh and he was an amazing server! Very family friendly establishment!

    The billion dollar bacon! Yum!

    Ask the Community - Billy Gail's

    Is their bacon spicy?

    No, it has a maple glaze on it, so it's slightly sweet.

    Does this place have gluten free options? If yes, what are some of them?

    Doubtful.

    Is this still cash only or do they take cards now?

    They take cards. Their card machine was down part of the day Monday but I'm sure they've resolved it by now.

    Do they take reservations?

    No they do not. You arrive and put your name on a list. Seems to go pretty quickly.

    Are there vegan options?

    My wife has celiac disease, and they had stuff for her, but not sure about vegan options.

    I thought I read someplace that you close for part of the winter. Do you still and if so what is your close?

    Hi Amy, our last day open is December 21st and we reopen on March 1st. Happy Holidays!

    Are they open on Mondays or Tuesdays in November?

    Yes 7-2 7 days a week. This Monday not sure since it is Veterans Day but you could call Sunday and ask them

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!

The staff are students working to pay for their college tuition so the service was great! The food was good (most ingredients on site also made by students) portions were huge, the price was decent, place was clean and much better then any touristy type restaurant near or on the strip, so much so we came here for dinner 2 nights in a row. The students are so interactive if you ask them questions and they also have the place they are from on their name tags which can be conversation starters. It does take them a little time to get through service so make sure you have a little time to wait. They serve 2 types of bread with bread service and 3 different butters alongside those. The apple butter was delicious. The first night I had the meatloaf which was very good. The second night I had their special for the night which was a stuffed chicken with spinach and cheese, vinegar potatoes and some mixed veggie side that was delicious. There is also a store area where you can buy student made items to take home with you. I wish we had a program like this near us because we would support it frequently. Definitely make reservations and give this place a try.

We really enjoyed the apple butter! And dessert is not to be missed. We had the apple pie, and it was delicious, and more than enough for the two of us. You can peruse the shop before or after your meal to see some of the student made products.

    It was just okay…read more We stopped at Clockers Cafe for breakfast on a Tuesday morning around 9 am. It wasn't too busy and we got a booth right away. Our server, Shawna was super nice and attentive. We ordered: - Coffees and waters - Giant Cinnamon Roll - Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise on the side and Home Fries - Omelet with Ham, Onion and Cheddar with English Muffin and side of Hash Browns The cinnamon roll came out first as we wanted. While it was tasty, it definitely was not huge. For cinnamon rolls, this was average to small in size. At $5.99 though, it was priced fairly. My omelet was nice. The English Muffin was saturated with butter or Whirl. My hashbrowns were a big disappointment. The top of them were extra crispy and crumbled when eaten (overcooked). The hashbrowns underneath looked okay but were floating in a bath of cooking oil (Whirl perhaps). My wife's Eggs Benedict was decent as was the sauce. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Her home fries were large chunks of fried potatoes. They didn't seemed seasoned at all and they were cut too large. We have half of our meals leftover and will be eating them at home tomorrow morning. I packed my hashbrowns on top of a napkin to absorb the grease/Whirl so those should fry up nice. For my wife's home fries, I'll season them when I reheat them. So I'm calling Clockers Cafe average for the food and excellent for the service.
