Billy Gail's at Branson Mill

We loved this location of Billy Gail’s in Branson (the other location on 265 was very busy and has limited gravel parking). No wait and definitely a fun place to eat - with tons of fun hillbilly, outdoor type decor. The reason we came was THE FOOD, and it didn’t disappoint. My son ordered the chicken and pancake breakfast and I’ve never seen a breaded chicken breast that big. The biscuits and gravy were really good, and the French toast was fluffy and perfectly cooked. The pancakes and portions are HUGE - come hungry and take leftovers home! Our server did a great job and overall a fun and tummy satisfying breakfast out! Highly recommend. We WILL come back here next time we’re in Branson for sure!!!!

We had a great breakfast! We got the Ranch Breakfast and 5 egg omelet. Service was great. The portions sizes were big and very tasty. Unfortunately the booth we were in was ripped but overall the atmosphere was great.

You will not leave here hungry. Even the avacado toast is a massive portion. Pancakes are ridiculously large and tasty. The billion dollar bacon is a great starter or side if you're hungry enough. The decor is nice, staff is friendly. They sell Flat creek hot sauce and beer, as well as other gift items. Wait times can be long but its well worth it.

Luckily we got there early because when we left there was a huge line.. Why was her a huge line because this place is awesome! Super cool atmosphere the service staff was unbelievable She stopped and checked in numerous times kept my wife's coffee full.. food came quick It was hot and delicious!!! Portions were very large fairly priced eggs were cooked perfectly!! The omelette was the spot on! like I said delicious!! check out those pictures I took! I think we found a great place for breakfast! But I'm guessing lunch and dinner would be awesome here too I will be finding out we'll be back.

The service here is amazing. Food was hot and fast! The sweet cream pancakes were undescribably delicious. My husband and I thought we'd share one..ha we barely made a dent in them. The eggs were cooked perfectly and so was the bacon. The biscuits were also delicious. I'd probably steer clear of the gravy and hash browns. They left a lot to be desired. However, we will definitely be back when we're in the area...that tenderloin is calling my name!

I went for the avocado toes this time. The menu says sunny side up eggs, but asked for them to be scrambled instead. No problem. I eat a lot of avocado egg toast at home. So I know exactly how I like it. But I’ll try one in a restaurant from time to time to see if there is a way I can improve on mine. This one wasn’t bad, it’s just not as good as my home made. It’s a bit bland. I like to add cracked pepper and balsamic vinegar to mine. Still, it was good. The fresh fruit that came with it was good too. Good healthier option. My wife ordered the biscuits and gravy. I had a few bites of those. They were good too. My daughter had the campfire pancake. Now THAT was really good. The best taste out of the three things I tried. As with anything at Billy Gail’s, the portions are huge. Two of us could have split the biscuits and gravy or avocado toast. Three of us could have split the pancake. We had a couple of hot chocolates that were lukewarm. No problem though. Just asked them to be heated up a bit more, and back out they came. I didn’t try the hot chocolate, but it looked good with cool whip and cherry on top. Our waitress Pat took good care of us. We would do it again. While some people don’t like the idea of waiting an hour to be seated, my advice is just go ahead and get in the queue. In general, if they tell you 1 hour 20 minutes, you’re looking at more like 1 hour. They text you a link to see your place in line and estimated wait time. We started at 68 parties ahead of us. When it got to 9 parties ahead, we got a text that our table was ready. There were still 70 total parties in the queue. Just get in line and enjoy the together time. 😊

Great atmosphere and service was amazing. If I am anything with my ratings, I am fair. We did not enjoy the food as much as it was hyped up to be. Dont get me wrong, it was good just not great. The large pancake was cool, but super thin almost crepe like, it was good as well just not what we were expecting. We were looking for a much denser, fluffier pancake. Still a great place to eat but there may be better options.

All is good !! The meals are very large, steak was ordered medium and was 1/2 rare and 1/2 well done. Not much of any seasoning on it, but not the worst steak I've ever had. The hash browns were delicious I'd definitely return.

We love this place! It is a must visit for anyone staying in Branson or passing through! They now have three locations & we have been to two now! They both have the same quality! Be ready to tackle the 14" Pancake with that appetite!

Stopped in at Billy Gail's and went straight for the glazed donut burger with hash browns, and let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it. The sweet donut + savory burger combo was a perfect balance, and somehow didn't feel too heavy. The hash browns were crispy with that golden crunchy edge that you hope for but rarely get. They had two sauces on the table that took everything up another level: one that reminded me of A1 but smoother, and a garlic hot sauce that added just the right amount of heat without overpowering the flavor. I ended up putting that garlic sauce on everything. The place was busy (which is expected), but the wait honestly wasn't bad, and the staff kept things moving. Atmosphere felt friendly, warm, and very "Branson breakfast landmark" in the best way. Definitely planning on coming back. The hype is real.

My wife and I went here for lunch today, right about at 12 o'clock noon. The place was pretty busy, but we were seated fairly quickly and we didn't have to wait too long for a waitress to show up. Both getting our drink order and then coming back for our food order she should have been a little quicker, but it wasn't that big a deal.. She was very good, friendly and she took very good care of my wife The food came out pretty quickly and it was good. I had eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and a biscuit. The only problem I noted was that the hashbrowns, while they were crispy, like I like them, They were rehydrated. They were not "real" potatoes. My wife had a salad and it was beautiful, tasteful and huge I love breakfast for any meal, so even with the hashbrowns like that I still loved the meal. The decor is very country on the cusp of being a little hokey. This is a huge restaurant, lots of people, and evidently run exceptionally well. Definitely this is a go to place for breakfast, and when we come back to Branson, I will eat here again

Our friend Andrew took us to Billy Gail's saying he goes here every year on his way home from Branson. He called it a must-do and warned us of the long wait times. We arrived around 8:40am on a Sunday in November and there was a 45 minute wait for our party of 6. We drank our complimentary coffee in styrofoam cups while we waited. The wait flew by, for me anyway. And once we were seat, our waitress was super fast, friendly, helpful and kind. We ordered more coffee and waters. Each couple had a pancake to share (and ultimately take home). Along with delicious eggs, various breakfast meats, and biscuits. A must-do in Branson!

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!

Plates were huge, fried chicken was moist and crispy. Service was very prompt with our tea always full

10/10 Experience! The portions are huge! It's more than amazing food, it's an experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. It will quickly become a family favorite or a vacation tradition.

I really didn't think there was anything special about Billy Gail's. It's kind of a glorified IHOP. I think if you're visiting from out of town, it could be one of your potential options to just be able to say you've been there. But if you're not dying to try it out, I think any other breakfast spot could fit the bill.

YOWZA! This place was cool! Awesome vibe. Amazing service. And food was delicious! Don't misjudge the pancakes, y'all. Seriously the size of a pizza. The portions are enough to share on everything!

This was our second time visiting this restaurant, however our first time at this specific location. It looks like the location we previously went to remodel, so we opted to visit one instead. The service was very good and they had so many workers so nothing went undone. I think that is amazing because there was something/someone being tended to at every moment. I also love how they all work together. The restaurant is very large on the inside almost resembles a well decorated warehouse. There was plenty of parking, so that definitely wasn't an issue, it was like in a plaza of sort. On the phone really good and fresh. The portions were huge as we experienced last time so I didn't expect anything less.

Please make sure you go hungry you will leave stuff Every time we visit Branson it's a must Wether breakfast lunch or dinner most items home made Never disappointed

I got the chicken and biscuits so good and so much food! My husband got the chicken fried chicken and it was also delicious. We got the billion dollar bacon and 14 inch pancake. Definitely must try those! Our food came out of the kitchen in maybe 5 minutes or less. Our waitress was amazing as well. I highly recommend Billy Gail's!

Huge portions no matter what you order! Decor is themed rustic with classic signs and quotes hanging everywhere. It was rainy and parking is a huge lot not paved, all rocks.. be prepared to wait especially on summer weekends! We got in and was seated at a side bar to the lobby... only 2 seats not very comfortable. We tried to get reseated but no luck because of how busy they were. Never agree to these seats! Food was good and hot. Locals somewhat friendly

We waited an hour and it was worth it! The food was great and service was excellent! The atmosphere was fun The food was amazing. The pancake was the highlight Be prepared to take food to go

We took a chance and tried this restaurant while in the Branson area. Great service! HUGE portions!!! Fun ambiance.

I have always gone to the original location. This location is bigger and can seat more people faster. The food is just as good. Angela was a great service! Portions are large so if you leave hungry it's your own fault

The food here was amazing. We had a variety of food from pancakes to fried chicken and everything was excellent. Seasoned to perfection. The service was great also. We were in town visiting for a cheer competition and it was the best food we'd had the whole time we were in the area. This place gives a very down home southern hospitality and we loved all the cool decorations.

If you a hungry this is the place. Huge servings (14" pancakes) of stick to your ribs comfort food. Roadhouse style decor, a little loud but fun. Great service from the whole staff. Chicken fried steak, corned beef, potato with gravy! Good stuff.

Oh, where do I start? Think privately owned Cracker Barrel but better. The waiting area has merchandise to purchase (I bought a lovely scarf). My grandson had pancakes and they were larger than the size of a dinner plate. Yummy food, friendly service & cozy atmosphere.

We went for breakfast and the food was delicious! The portions are otherworldly! We got there around 9am and had to wait about 40 minutes to be seated. Our server Pat was amazing - friendly, attentive and efficient. Know that the portions are so large you can share. The pancake was like the size of a hubcap. It's a bit pricey. Everything was great and it was a wonderful experience. Will be back!

I couldn't believe it when I came here on a Friday night at 7pm and there was no wait. Infact, there wasn't many people in the restaurant at all. The décor is so fun, quirky and no matter how many times you look around, you always spot something new. No matter what you order, the portions are huge so you most likely will be taking something to go. My husband and I shared the 'Billion Dollar Bacon' which was so flavorful. I wish it was a thicker cut, but still delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the 'Shrimp Basket' and instead of hush puppies, I got a side salad which was a meal in itself. Side note: they did initially forgot my side salad, which I forgot as well, but noticed it on the bill. They took it off the bill AND gave me the side salad to take home. I was surprised by that! My husband ordered the 'Chicken Fried Chicken' dinner. All the food was good, we enjoyed it. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. I would come back if I was in the area and would recommend.

For one this is a pretty big eatery and its popular so if you go... just about at ANYtime its going to be busy unless it is way off tourist season. Myself, my wife and my brother stoped in around 11am on a friday 5 days before christmas. One thing that is weird is the kitchen is kinda split in the middle and the staff has to come out from there past alot of people in the front. Branson is not normally so cold so everyone was rather crowding inside instead of the many outdoor waiting tables which actually had huge seat cushions on them. We waited i think about 30 minutes to get seated in a booth. The booths are actually kinda tight especially when just about all food is served on probably 14" to 16" plates haha! If you like to dable in re-heating food later you will love this place because portions are massive. My Camp Breakfast i made 3 other meals out of. One thing tho is it has a metric ton of onions and mushrooms. Which i do love but wow it felt like half a good sized onion and a full carton of sliced mushrooms! My wife had the Country Fried Steak which was really good. It had a very light crispy breading instead of some tooth breaker over fried batter. The only thng wrong with hers was the miniscule amount of gravy for that giant meal. We had to pay extra for more which was good to take with and use later. Our waitress was friendly but obviously in a hurry since there were so many people. They use those at table Toast point of sales so paying up is real easy to get done and you get a nice reciept of what u had ( if you email it to yourself ) I will certinally come back again hopefully when its not crazy busy!

The food and service was great. We received our meal in 15 minutes, and the waitress checked on use to see if we needed anything a few times.

just left Billy Gail's in Branson, and we give it five stars for Sophia, and five stars for the food. Great atmosphere, fun was had by all. Highly recommend.

Yum! Everyone enjoyed their meal. Portions were huge! Prices were reasonable and our waitress was very nice. One thing that could be improved was the hour long wait. It was worth it though. We will return at a not so busy time. We ordered a steak/eggs, breakfast burrito, pancake and omelette.

Food and service were amazing! The place was clean and the decor was interesting to check out while we waited for our orders. I would highly recommend!!

Very popular spot. Sunday morning breakfast really was busy. Food was typical breakfast cafe except for the BIG pancake! Wife really enjoyed her choice. Food arrived quickly and hot. Rustic decor. Service was excellent ad we paid at the table.

Love this place! Breakfast was delicious! I had French toast with blueberries on top! My husband had the big breakfast that had 3 eggs, sausage and a side of biscuit & gravy, which was also great and too much!

It's your own fault if you come away hungry. Massive pancakes. Great sides. Omelets that cover a plate. Servers that smile and are always checking on you.

Always hits the spot here. Service is always good. Seems like it'll be a long wait but never really is when you compare the amount of people waiting outside. Everything is great on the menu. See for yourself:

The service was amazing!!! The food was fantastic!!! This well definitely be a stop from now on. The ambiance was so cool we couldn't stop looking around. I would say bring a BIG appetite. The Billon Dollar Bacon was awesome!!!

Food, service was amazing, highly recommend!! French toast was huge, only order 2 unless you're hungry!!

Be prepared for a long wait if you're here for brunch. The first time we tried was on a weekend, and the estimated wait time was "an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes." We didn't stay. Later we tried on a weekday and the wait was only half an hour. The food is very good, and they have some unique offerings, like the French pancakes--which really do taste like French toast! Their specialty seems to be the 14" pancake. It's fun, because it's huge, although a little unnecessary for it to be that big, especially if you're ordering it as an add-on to a meal. Ambience is friendly and casual. All in all, it's worth it if you go on a weekday when the wait isn't as long.

Billy Gail's is the ultimate Americana breakfast place. You can get pancakes bigger than a small child. I am not a huge sweet breakfast person, but my husband is and he was very happy with his giant chocolate chip pancakes. There was enough to share. You could probably feed a family of five with one order of pancakes. I got the biscuits and gravy with hashbrowns. It was delicious. Our server was very sweet and attentive. She kept our mugs filled with hot coffee. The food was out to us quickly. The restaurant is huge and the walls are covered with quirky decorations. It is kind of like a Cracker Barrel, but the decorations are more modern looking. This place was very fun and the food is delicious. Come hungry. I would definitely give Billy Gail's a try if you're in Branson, MO.

We split a 5-egg omelette and a 14" pancake and could barely finish. The pancake was light and fluffy.

Wow, what an amazing find in Branson! This place is known for their homemade special batter 14 inch pancake. All biscuits are made from scratch here as well. If you are vegan, you will need to modify salads, but they are portioned big enough you will leave filling full. You can add avocado, house made pickled green tomatoes, and you can add extra toppings as you desired. The servers have great recommendations for their favorites. The food was good, fresh, and there is enough variety for anyone. They have a cute general store in the front and the environment is absolutely enjoyable and decorated towards ozark themed.

Shorter wait time, but just as delicious as the original Billy Gail's. Generous servings, fair prices, and great service.

Everything was great! Carissa needs a raise! Food was great! The decor fits he restaurant!

Hey Yelpers! We have visited this location twice in the last three days. That should say something. First off, you are going to have to wait. I don't know if there is ever a time when they aren't busy. The service is great. The servers are down-home friendly and attentive. Also, even though there is a wait for a table, the food comes out relatively quickly. As for the food, the portions are HUGE! That is one thing this place is known for. Most of the meals could be shared by two people. The chicken fried steak takes up almost the entire plate. It tasted good, but the outer portions were more well done than the interior. As large as it was, it would be difficult to get an even cook on it. Their billion dollar bacon is delicious and worth the hype. The sloppy chicken and biscuits was amazing and, again, large enough for two people. The giant pancake is something to behold. At 14 inches across, I've never seen anything like it. It was perfectly cooked (somehow) and tasted great. If we were here longer, I could see us coming back. You should check it out. They do have multiple locations across the area.

Tbh is place is amazing. The way they decorated it is incredible. The service is always top notch and you just can't beat the food. My favorite!

Great food. Fast service. Little bit of a wait, but worth it. Really cool decoration.

Disappointed because our hotel doesn't do breakfast anymore so we decided to go out and get some breakfast instead and this place was so homey and perfect. Many old folk here but anyone should go if they want a tasty meal, there's a little something for everyone! Food was super yummy, we got the 14" pancake and the sloppy biscuits and gravy and one entree with the chicken biscuits. The pancake definitely lived up to its hype, perfectly sweet and so filling. Marquel, our waitress, was very nice and attentive, we got our food speedy fast and drinks refilled whenever they were 2/3 empty. She even asked if we wanted our drinks to go.

This place was popppping. We had an hour wait, but after us there was a 2 hour wait for breakfast. We got the billion dollar bacon for an appetizer and I don't think it was worth 8$. It was 4 pieces of thin bacon with syrup on top of it. For my meal, I got the sloppy biscuit ( I think was the name) the biscuit was good with the gravy & eggs sunny side up. The hash browns were nice and crispy. I also added the grits, they were good yet Smokey. Husband got the Billy's belly buster (name is scary lol) it came with 2 HUMONGOUS pancakes. Like the pictures won't even do the size justice. It also came with 2 eggs, hash browns, bacon, & bread. Overall it was really good!

Neat place to go for breakfast. Generous portions. Nostalgic atmosphere. seating areas are spread out. Service was good and staff was friendly. Not a fan of the $1 surcharge if your dish has eggs. The 14" pancake was good!

All the food we got for breakfast was great! Such huge servings, enough for two meals, maybe even three! The service was great, and the environment was fun. Luckily, we got in early enough to beat the rush of people.

We waited about 30 minutes for a table and that wasn't bad at all. Plenty seating for people waiting. The staff were so friendly especially our waitress, Miss Pat!! The amount of food on each plate was wild! The pancakes really are enormous and delicious! If you leave hungry it's your own fault! The taste and a quality of the food was amazing as well. Miss Pat was knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant and gladly shared with us. Over all we had an excellent experience and will gladly return.

After hearing and reading all of the hoopla about the Billy Gail's restaurant at the Branson Mill here in Branson, I hesitantly caved and went there with my wife for breakfast today. We ate at the Republic location almost 2 years ago and our experience was sub par there, with our entire party underwhelmed by the service, food, and all around experience. My experience this morning at Billy Gail's at Branson Mill was even worse, which astounds even me. When we entered the restaurant , it was hot and muggy, which I was hoping was just because we were near the door and it was hot outside. My hopes were dashed because we were seated at a tiny booth which was directly under some sort of fan which was blowing hot, humid air down directly onto our table. I could barely breathe. I had to get up and find somewhere that I could comfortably breathe. We were seated in the opposite end of the restaurant, where I quickly realized that if that establishment HAD air conditioning, it clearly wasn't working. We looked at the menu and prepared to order. I ordered Gail's Ranch Breakfast and my wife had their Monte Cristo. Both of our breakfasts arrived at our table just minutes after we ordered them, which seemed quite odd to me because the place was packed with a line out the door. Our server brought my wife's Coke and my "coffee" to the table. I stirred some cream and sweetener into it and took a drink. The "coffee" was room temperature and was the absolute worst excuse for coffee that I've ever tasted. I informed the server of my displeasure with the coffee when she came to the table with our meals. Her reply was immediate, blunt , and as cold as the coffee. She curtly replied , "That's the first time I've heard that in the four years I've been working here", which I assumed she meant the company because that particular restaurant hasn't been open for nearly that long. My reply to her was thatI my coffeewas cold and it tasted bad. Her solution was to offer me some coffee from a fresh pot. She HAD to be kidding me. I actually had to look up at her face to see if she WAS kidding me. She was dead serious. I politely declined , telling her that I doubted a fresh pot of the same coffee would change that flavor. It honestly tasted like dirt with year-old used coffee grounds were used in the coffeemaker. I am not exaggerating. The coffee was THAT bad. The server took my coffee cup and walked away. Now to the food. When I took my first bite of my hash browns, I immediately realized why our breakfasts arrived at our table so quickly: they must've been already prepared and sitting under heat lamps waiting for someone to order them, because my meal was room temperature cold - COLD hash browns, COLD eggs, COLD bacon, and I use that term loosely because whatever sort of meat that was, it was cut to resemble bacon, and was so heavily seasoned with barbecue and smoky flavoring that the "meat" wasn't visible, and it was colder than the eggs and hash browns. Part of it hadn't even thawed completely, giving me the impression that it came from a package of frozen processed smoky bacon flavored "meat". I pushed my plate to the edge of the table so the server would see that I was done. My wife had ordered a side of fried okra because she knows how much I enjoy it. I took one bite of the fried okra and was done with that as well. It was beyond disgusting. The okra was dreadfully undercooked and slimier than a slug on a rainy day. How the breading was crispy and the okra was so cold and slimy, I actually have no idea, but that one bite almost gagged me. The server took the okra off of our bill. She left the nasty coffee and my frigid breakfast on the bill. I said nothing . I just wanted to get out of that hothouse that served cold, nasty food and cold, terrible coffee. My wife couldn't finish her breakfast either. We both got sick to our stomachs when we got home. After that experience, we won't be going out to eat again unless the eatery is guaranteed farm to table fresh with NO bioengineered foods, no preservatives, no processed foods, no antibiotics, and always cooked to order. THAT was $52+ wasted.

Good food, fast friendly service. Place holds LOTS of people. High ratings very justified. Breckfast all day, lunch stuff after 11 am. Private large parking lot in a strip center. Will def be back.

10/10 recommend!! The French toast was amazing, the southwest boarder burrito is amazing and the B&G was really good too. It's hard to get good gravy at restaurants but this place definitely has it. Our waitress Pat was so sweet. Love the atmosphere. The wait was not bad, around 30-40 minutes on a Sunday morning. Would definitely eat here again!!
