They donated a $25 gift certificate as a prize! There are a lot of things here to really like with a few cringeworthy parts, too. Near as I can tell, this was opened late in 2023 so it seems they're still getting their feet under them. The building and finished space is done quite nicely though there seems to be a bit of an identity crisis. Is it farmhouse? Roadhouse? Bistro? The decor and music choice is kind of all over the place. Three things that bothered us... the fast food drink machine and ice dispenser. Looks terrible and the sound of the ice machine rattled throughout the dining room our entire visit. Do us all a favor and just use an ice well. While I'm speaking of noises, PLEASE change the battery of that smoke detector in the bathroom hall. Shouldn't even have to say that. Finally, the bathrooms need to be clearly marked. They're off in a corner and I heard virtually every guest ask where they were. Just put up a sign. Now that my gripes are off the table on to the rest. Our server was quite pleasant. Despite our obvious newness and my joviality, she got us through our order and took good care of us. Order was entered properly and came out properly. The food itself was absolutely top notch. Rib steak was perfectly medium rare and the mashed Yukon gold potatoes were amazing. My wife had the seafood pasta that she really loved. They held the oysters for her but it still was more good than she could eat. Shrimp and scallops were super tender and the clams and crab rounded out the dish. Sauce was light and creamy with just a hint of garlic. Prices are higher than diner fare but the quality and value is there to make it worthwhile. Definitely a place to come back to, just so long as they tweak the things that need tweaking.

Next time!

I had the Pale ale very smooth and crisp and hubby had the Sunset ale which was bright and fruity. Food was decent, typical American. We had cheesy breadsticks which was basically a cheese pizza cut up into strips served with a side of cold marinara. Caesar salad was decent, it wasn't mixed, dressing & cheese just on top. Italian stack was good and what you would expect, not bad and not exceptional. Hot honey pepperoni pizza was a special. Thin chewy crust, thin layer of cheese & pepperoni. The hot honey was not spicy at all but the sweetness over the pepperoni was the star. Great spot for good beer, reliable American food, and to chill.

They handled our table of 10 really well. Drinks were creative, pretty and delicious. We shared starters and salads and enjoyed them all. Fried oysters (needed more of that delicious sauce!), fried green tomatoes, and foresters' toast were all delicious. The mushrooms and sauce on that toast is one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. We loved the arugula salad. Beautifully presented and the flavors shined - pine nuts, parm and truffle. The sorghum salad was both a surprise and comforting. Such an interesting salad! Everyone loved their entrees. I had the fried chicken. Some of the best I've had. (Note: you can request their spicy sauce on the side, and it's worth it. Doesn't hide the chicken flavor but enhances.) But IT almost overshadowed by the biscuit. I'm going to dream about that crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside biscuit. Loved the mashed potatoes with pan gravy and collards as well. Others had shrimp and grits, pork chop, and rock fish. Everyone raved. Frankly, I don't think you can go wrong here. A memorable meal that I'd be happy to enjoy weekly.

I just assumed it was done to order and got doubly excited for some smoky grilled oysters I was fixin' to have. I got inside and placed my order and waited for them to hit the table. During that time I didn't see any oysters come from the building and go to the grill. When my oysters came to the table, Manuel came from the kitchen where he and a lady had spent most the time while I was there. The oysters looked exactly how the pictures looked and were piping hot. I waved my hand over the oysters towards my nose......no smoke smell. I leaned away, very surprised on why I couldn't smell smokiness. I picked up my fork and bit into an oyster. I tasted no char or smoke of any kind. My oyster had been broiled. So, I had to call Manuel and ask how the oysters were prepare. He told me that the oysters take 18 mins. to prepare and sometimes the wait when there is a lot of people, causes a long wait time. I was the only person in the restaurant, until I got up to pay. He implied that sometimes to avoid a wait, another preparation style is used with the grill in the "back" and this was the technique that was used to make my order. I only observed smoke and wood smell from the front grill that was closest to the front door of the restaurant. Also, he said that oysters are prepared one of three ways....pan fried, fried, or grilled. My oysters weren't prepared any of the three ways he mentioned. All this said to me while it sounded like he was gathering his thoughts and mumbling his words. I must've come on a bad day, Manuel did mention how business had been bad for him.

I went 8 and it came as a whole dinner with garlic mashed pototoes & mixed vegetables. Also, you had the choice of grilled or deep fried. Since I was craving pan fried, deep fried won. It was a delicious & filling meal. The oysters were fabulous and the mashed pototoes were very yummy. I ate it all: every last drop of spuds, gravy, carrots, beans & decorative lettuce leaf. I'll be going to Billy's again, the next time in Aberdeen.

There were 6 of us and we ordered various meals - Captains Choice, Biscuits and Gravy with eggs and the Siren's Breakfast Sandwich. All the breakfasts included the cornmeal biscuit. We also ordered a Hawaiian cinnamon roll to be split with everyone. Our meals arrived and we were all excited to eat. We reminded our waitress that the cinnamon roll hadn't been brought to our table yet. She said "Oh, do you want to eat that here or have it to go?" We said we wanted it for here. My sister ordered scrambled eggs, but was given over-easy eggs. My husband's eggs were completely forgotten. My husband offered to eat my sisters eggs that were cooked wrong while she waited for her scrambled eggs to be prepared and delivered. I opened up my biscuit to put the whipped butter on it that was provided and the biscuit was luke-warm and didn't even melt the butter. I took a bite anyway and was disappointed at how dense, crumbly and salty it was. Thinking it was just me, I didn't say anything to my fellow dining companions. I moved on to the rustic potatoes and even though they looked nicely browned, the centers were undercooked. Unfortunately, the bacon was also overly salty. Because of all the salt, I went through two full glasses of water during my meal, of which I only ate half. My brother-in-law who had the biscuit breakfast sandwich said "what is so salty??" I said it was the biscuit. Everyone else at the table agreed. Someone else said their bacon was overly salty too. My brother in-law also mentioned that she forgot his cinnamon roll again. Although the coffee was good, we were never offered any refills. We all left 1/2 or more of our meals on our plates. We were all clearly finished with our meals when the waitress came back and asked if we were ready for our cinnamon roll. By then it was too late. We said no. We didn't want it anymore. No plates were ever cleared from the table. She just returned with our checks and left. We were very disappointed. As my dad used to say, That was a 3 timer. First, last and never again.

We didn't have any minors with us; however, the breweries that we frequent at home usually welcome families. Dogs are not allowed either. There is a small outdoor beer garden. Food is not served; however, warm beer snacks such as nuts, pork rinds and pretzels can be purchased to chomp on while enjoying your slurp of choice. Indoors is a bit sloppy and could use some TLC. Swag is available for purchase. Cans of hard cider can be purchased for those who do not care for beer. Orders are placed, paid and received at the counter. I had the Liberty Cap IPA and a tray of pork rinds during my visit. My draft choice was acceptable, nothing too exciting or memorable. Service was on the unfriendly side. Once into Elk Head is enough for me. Elk Head failed at providing the friendly brewery feel that I am accustomed to.
