I grew up in Mt. Holly and I have eaten at this establishment many times and they rarely disappoint me! It's a down home, country restaurant with a variety of tasty meals to choose from. The service is timely, the staff is friendly and it is always clean. If you are looking for some grits, egg and bacon with a side of toast like your grandma used to make this is a place to go to. read more

Visiting my home town of Mt Holly, NC, we tried to coordinate a meal with family but only were able to so for breakfast. We had eaten great seafood & BBQ in the past but I never realized they also had great breakfast also. Six of us, including my 99 year young Aunt, met at 8:00 AM at Billy's. From a broad menu, I chose my regional favorite - livermush. A mix of pork cuts, excluding the prime cuts, ground & simmered with spices and cornmeal. Similar to Scrapple but has a good amount of liver, which makes it healthier than bacon, ham or sausage. But not much availability outside south central NC. Mine with over easy eggs and grits. My wife chose the Western omelette. Two others also choose the same meal as mine. The meat was crispy outside and soft inside, perfect! Some places serve two thinner slices but Billy's has one thicker and larger slice. Eggs were perfect and grits were devine, and a lot of grits, couldn't eat all. My wife also loved the omelette. Coffee was hot and great, refills often. Service was great, even when we stretched our meal to share conversations. Breakfast, BBQ, seafood - they do it all well! read more

I've been looking for a BBQ spot by my work for a little bit now. I will not be back here. The service was really slow. I ordered to-go food, when I showed up I saw my food on the counter. I watched a few servers walk around and look at me without anyone greeting me. After about 8 minutes of standing at the counter one of the servers comes up to the counter and asks if I had a to-go order. I said yes and held out my card, she turned around and walked in the kitchen. I almost walked out when I heard the woman call someone from the back to come greet me. Another woman walks out and asks what I need.... I told her I had placed a to-go order. She looks around and I pointed to the bag on the counter and she looks at it and says "oh, I think this is your food." They weren't rude or anything, just very low functioning. Then I got back to work and opened my food..... Just to be straight forward, this was the soggiest food I have ever eaten, the fries had no salt or seasoning, the barbecue was very bland, and the "Cole slaw" was apple flavored and very watery at the bottom. The bun and fries were soaking wet when I opened the box which I understand happens with to go food but they shouldn't be dripping... I'm not sure who taught these people to cook but I would not count this place as a barbecue restaurant. Bad service is fixable, bad cooking is not. I'm sorry! read more

Good country restaurant when your not in a rush. The reviews are great but the food was good. They are understaffed. Service was great considering she was solo. If you want a meat and 2 sides and aren't in a rush, this is a good choice. Atmosphere is nothing fancy. Think old, tired diner. read more

Terrible food even worse service do not go I had to eat somewhere else ! The manager was to busy to talk to me. That means my money means nothing. The Asian girl yelled at me because she was to busy and gave my order to the wrong person. I will do everything I can to warn people of your horrible business read more

Should have looked at the reviews before we ate there! They need a Breakfast cook and a heat lamp! The only thing that was hit on my whole plate was the egg omelette. I got the meat lovers and ALL the meat was barely warm! Had home fries as my side...they also were cold! I can say the pancakes were delicious. The wife had hash browns and I don't think they even were put on the grill ! The waitress was a 2 at best. read more

This is where the locals eat. Make sure to ask what's good from your waitress, ours was straight up and told us the meatloaf is terrible! Haha. They have a good selection of food to choose from with large portions. We had a great meal and Yes the sweet tea is good! Sure it's no cool trendy spot but if you want some good ol family food with a diner feel then this is the spot. read more

This spot was decided upon because it was local and close to our job site. The staff was nice and the food was alright. I do not have much to say about this place. read more

I ordered Chicken Parmigiana. The chicken pieces were not breasts. Instead, strips. I've never had a restaurant offer this way. And, too much batter. The side pasta was terrible tasting and did not eat. I think it was double cooked. I told the cashier. She provided a 10% discount, amounting to about $0.90. Really? Much room for improvement. read more

My mom brought me here because she has been several times and says its good (she's a tough critic). I had the lasagna which was a nice sized portion and pretty good I must say. It came with a fresh salad and the dressing was homemade, not the watered down stuff. My sister ate the pork chops and said those were good and the fries were crispy and delicious. My mom has tried everything but this time she had a BBQ sandwich and claimed she would order it again. The staff was very friendly and cordial. My only complain was the stuffing in the booths are a little worn out and not so comfy anymore. read more

I like them but the workers children are really loud and there hands were touching everything. They went into the kitchen then would come out with their hands in their mouth wipping it on the tables. Kinda gross read more

Service and food were horrible. Very bland. Waitress was inattentive. Floors were dirty. Could have used a broom taken to them once a month. The Philly was revolting. A ham sandwich had 1 small piece of ham and very lightly toasted. Would not waste my money again. read more

I hesitated to try Billy's due to the lackluster yelp ratings but finally gave in to my husband's suggestion one day. What a pleasant surprise! Billy's is much more than a BBQ place, with a hand written menu full of specials besides the regular menu. Our waitress recommended a few things on the special menu, such as fried chicken, chicken tips and fried flounder. I ordered the fried flounder with 2 sides, my husband the BBQ plate. My 2 sides were turnip greens and baked sweet potato, and I also found some fries beneath the flounder filets, to my surprise. Even more surprisingly, the turnip greens and fries were both the best I have had for a long time. The fried flounder was also very good. In the end I did not have room for the sweet potato, cornbread and hush puppies ( did I mention they also threw that on my plate?) By the time we finished our lunch, the restaurant was packed with Sunday after church crowd. I guess most people there don't use Yelp! We will definitely return to try more stuff on the menu! read more

Great food and went there for years, but stopped when the bathroom was locked on me, and think customers were in on it. Will never be back.

Charged for two sides more than what we received, then wanted to argue about it. This was our second time trying this place. The food isn't that great, the service isn't that good, the people aren't that nice,I'm not sure why so many people like this place so much. read more

Stopped in to Billy's today for lunch. Got seated got my drink. No one ever came back and I sat there for twenty minutes. Finally I just left. This is not the first time this has happened but I guarantee it will not happen again. read more

We've been to Billys about 5-6 times now and we will continue to come back 1947294829 more times. I've tried all types of food on the menu (Breakfast, Burger, Gyro, Chicken, BBQ and almost all of the sides) and I would rather have Billys over anything else within 100 mile radius. The price and portion size can't be beat. The service we've had has been unlike anywhere we moved from (FL) and will continue to support this amazing place. read more

awesome spot and lord knows our server amy was awesome just her alone made the visit so worth it oh yea the food was good to lol read more

Had a bad potato that was also cold. They offered to reheat the bad potato. No apologies. There was no money taken off. Waitress was scared to tell us that and made us wait a long time. Very bad customer service when we checked out. Never again, they've lost our business. read more

This place used to be the best spot for any type of food but since the new management the restaurant it is unorganized and the food has gone down hill. The wait staff is very polite and this review is not reflection of the waitresses at billys but Billy's management team needs to get it together. read more

Their barbeque was incredibly dry and salty. The sides tastes old and like they had been sitting in oil. I don't think the change their fryer oil often. When I tried to return my order for a refund, which the manager said I could do over the phone, the manager on duty called the cops on me. Horrible customer service. Never again! read more

Absolutely terrible bland food. Other restuarants near by with much better food for sure. Seems like vegetables right out of can...awful!

Good food reasonably priced. Great staff. Just a plain country diner with a good variety of almost any item. All very good. Good for a medium sized group. Children welcome. read more

Hubs & I looking to try something different, "yelp" sent us here. Service was amazing. Quick to get our food out, my burger was great, real juicy. My hubs bragged about his footlong. Will definitely be back. read more

A great place for good home cooked meals. We eat their often both in a group of around 10 and just us two. The food is always hot and fresh and the service is quite good. Their BBQ is very good but I like the fish which is always a good choice. read more

Food used to be good before the fire and grade was good but the last time we went here the grade was in the 80's which we did not notice untill we went to check out. Several things happened the last time we were here that made us decide to never return. 1st the waitress dropped her pen in the pitcher of tea dug it out then poured it into another tables cups. 2nd the food was not good, Greasy okra, bland chicken, very little chicken in the chicken tips mostly gravy n onions, fries were cold and hard, and the burgers were not cooked well. 3rd the bus boy literally swept the dirt off the floor and dumped it on dishes in the bin. Some people might not see a problem with that but to me that's just gross. If the sanitation grade was higher and the staff cared about a clean restaurant I think it return to the old billys. read more

I had the chicken tips and salad. It was really good. Had really good service. Hush puppies are the best!

I've been there twice. The first time I watched a very large cockroach stroll from the kitchen into the dining room & hang out until I finally got the attention of a waitress to take care of it. It was waved off as just a fluke. The second time I went, about 6 months later, I watched a waitress stick her finger into a tea pitcher & then lick it to see if it was sweet or unsweet. Never again. read more

Ok, I'm not real hard to please but I went for bbq. It wasn't good. The sauces are made in-house but they weren't good either. The vinegar was just that, vinegar with so much pepper in it that it solidifies in the bottom. Fries were good. Baked beans were good but possibly canned. Potato salad should not have carrots in it. But maybe that's me. read more

Billy's has redeemed themselves since the fire. We eat there a few times a month. Their roast beef is really good. It's cooked how I like it and tender. Our service has been good the past few times we've been back. I'm glad it's getting back to the way it was before the fire. read more

I've always gone to Billy's it's one of my favorite BBQ places in mount holly but the last time I went was a quite strange experience. My server was some younger middle age lady.. I believe it was amy... she said she was a couple months new there.. Anyway she was possibly the worst waitress I've ever had anywhere. First off was so slow with my wife and I's food and would completely reeked of alcohol. By the time my drink was empty i was looking for her for about 15 minutes or so and she came back so red and I could recall seeing a sort of powder in her nose also. I don't know if you guys do drug tests there or not but I would recommend before the wrong person sees that lady and ruins your business. read more

Great southern food. BBQ and ribs are great. The sides are southern cooking including the okra and hushpuppies. Decor is old school 50s. Service even late is quick and friendly. Ice tea is sweet, is there any other kind? read more

The food was great a group of 13 went and the service could not even been better.Not one person was disappointed. KIM THE WAITRESS WAS GREAT!!! WILL POSTIVELY GO AGAIN. read more

We went to Billy's after they re-opened last week. Service was horrible. It took almost an hour to get our food and we didn't get refills regularly and had asked to get a different drink for my 2 year old and never received it. Staff appeared clueless. Went back a few days later, and no one was there to seat you. My dad asked a waitress if it was ok to go ahead and sit down and she said yes. We sat down and a waitress said she would be right with us and she needed to wipe the table. Someone else brought us menus. Well, no one else came by to get drinks or food orders. The waitress that said she would wipe the table, ignored us sitting there. She had someone else come in and sat down talking to the lady until her husband came in. Another waitress noticed we had been there a while and asked another waitress if it was her table. She said no. The waitress went to the one that had ignored us and asked if it was her section and she said it was but she thought someone else was going to help. The began to argue over who was going to take our order. Needless to say after being there fifteen minutes and then seeing them argue about working, we walked out. read more

Never again!!!!!, I got more BBQ on my sandwich from Bojangles than I got on the dinner plate. Vinegar sauce is just vinegar.Service was HORRIBLE. Not worth the time or effort. Based on their attitude they should not be there long. read more
