Billy G's Kirkwood

What can I say but I love Billy G's. We ordered the French dip, the pork steak, a strawberry waffle, and a bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. The pork steak was perfectly cooked, the burger was delicious, the sweet potato fries are amazing, and the French dip had a great au jus with the crispy roll. They were doing brunch at lunch time on a Friday so we were able to order a mimosa that you make yourself at the fruit and juice bar. We put strawberry and peach juice in ours with boozy gummy bears which was incredible. The staff is friendly, quick, and accommodating. I know there a lot of choices near them, but I highly recommend trying them when you are in Kirkwood.

Jack t was an amazing server. He was very polite willing to explain.The menu. he took the time for us to feel like a valued customer, so I would say there's a wonderful place to eat. Food was promptly served. drinks was never empty.Atmosphere is great. great value for the money.Highly recommend with ten plus stars

Billy G's is pretty good. I would say, it's definitely a go to spot in Kirkwood. Huge area to eat inside or outside. I believe they have live music sometimes outside which is always a plus. We ordered the Chicken Parmesan which came with a Caesar salad. My fiancée ordered the Cajun Pasta Salad. The salad was by far my favorite item that I ordered. I really enjoyed it and was very good quality. The chicken parm was decent, but the red sauce seemed a bit basic and almost just like tomato sauce dumped on a plate. It wasn't bad, but did the job. Adequate food. If you're looking for a chill spot with decent food, this place is good. Chicken Parmesan - 6/10 Pasta - 5/10 Caesar Salad - 9/10 Cajun Pasta Salad - 7/10 Billy G-s - 7/10

My favorite brunch spot! I forgot to call and make a reservation earlier in the week for my birthday brunch so I ended up calling Thursday, knowing I might be SOL. However the host said they would have to speak to the manager and call me back because they were packed already with reservations. Well Victoria did her thing because they got us in! Amazing staff and delicious food!

Classic American bar with a nice patio and fire pit..many varieties of draft beer. Chili is the best in the neighborhood..! High seating, low seating plus bar seating..

This place is in a great location with plenty of parking, which definitely makes it convenient. The food was decent overall. The salad was okay, but it had more fruit than actual salad, which wasn’t quite what I expected. The wings weren’t bad, but I was a little disappointed that they don’t offer a variety of sauce options. The biggest downside was the service. I felt ignored by the server, my drink sat empty for about 20 minutes while they continued checking on the surrounding tables. That part was frustrating and took away from the overall experience. Overall, not terrible, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Very good neighborhood restaurant! Menu varied so it can meet many desires. Great patio and popular place for groups to meet at lunch! Family of companies is consistent with food and service.

Had the brisket here and it was surprisingly tender and had good flavor. Good outdoor area and service was good too

The highlight here is there is a huge menu with something to please anyone. Nothing is spectacular but all is decent, think elevated American bar food. Came on a Sunday morning with husband and two friends. It's pretty busy on Sunday mornings but we were sat at the bar area without waiting (patio and inside would be more). Annebell was our server, my biggest disappointment was the appetizer didn't arrive until the meal came. I asked about it after waiting and before any food came and she told me that she will see if the kitchen could swing it (it didn't). If I order an appetizer Id appreciate a heads up if it won't come out before and seemed she knew the whole time it wouldn't. So maybe don't order apps on busy Sundays.

My husband and I came here Saturday evening at 9:15 pm. We got seated right away. Most dinning room was empty and outside was about half empty. We ordered our appetizer- spinach dip. This dip is delicious! But it took over 30 mins to come out. We ordered food that we did not get till almost an hour after ordering. Husband got trashed wings- he said those had not much going for them, just salty. I got the turkey club, I thought house made turkey would be delish, it was not. It was tasteless and sad. Bacon was very soft. Fries were ok. Ranch dressing was the highlight of the meal. Our server Bella was lovely. We are really going to try to remember our experience and avoid coming back here.

Review If this were a stage show for middle-aged white county folks from Kirkwood and Ladue, the set would absolutely be Billy G's Kirkwood. On a Friday night, it's standing-room-only -- and there's enough David Yurman jewelry in one room to inspire a spin-off movie about a daring Kirkwood jewelry heist. The people-watching here is chef's kiss. You've got young guys and gals sipping the latest TikTok-inspired cocktails, rocking their Lululemon leggings and Titleist hats. Then, over by the bar, you'll spot the older divorced crowd -- men and women both -- already auditioning for their next divorce. The food? Solid. The wait on a Friday? Brutal. But the staff is a show of their own -- quick with a joke, a side-eye, or a laugh that makes the time pass faster. In short: Wake up, St. Louis. Quit being creatures of habit and venture into the big, bad city every once in a while. Yes, that means leaving "the bubble." Don't worry -- Billy G's will still welcome you back with open arms, a cold beer, and a patio seat whenever you're ready to return. As for me? My next adventure will be Billy G's in Chesterfield -- and I can promise you that's going to be an even bigger, better show. Stay tuned.

Had a wonderful brunch experience at Billy G's with some friends! We were seated right away and our waitress was friendly and accommodating. They had a Bloody Mary, mimosa, and coffee bar that was fantastic. I got the Bloody Mary and they had several different mixes to choose from along with cheese cubes, pickles, banana peppers, stuffed olives, crispy bacon, and so much more. For mimosas they had different fruit juices along with fruits. We orders the BIG cinnamon roll for the table and it's H U G E and yummy! Highly recommend ordering one to share. The breakfast burrito was delicious and stuffed with eggs, sausage, bacon, and topped with cheese. Also, recommend as well. Can't wait to go back for the Bloody Mary bar again.

Our waiter was the best, so personable and helpful, he had us shift to a larger table to better accommodate our group. The vibe there is always casual and chill, perfect for a fun birthday brunch!! The food is also always great. I have never found something I don't like there! It's amazing. Oh and their mimosa bar is also super fun!! We didn't sit on their patio, but it's also perfect to sit on on a nice day!

The service is good and the food is tasty and fresh. I love the patio area in warm temps especially when there is live music. You have a choice of using the indoor or outdoor bar.

I do adore this restaurant and the Kirkwood one is just a vibe in itself! The patio was packed this afternoon when we arrived to celebrate a friend's bday but! We were still able to enjoy the bottomless mimosas! I love that they had a full spread of juices, fruits and candies to make your mimosa the very best you've ever had and catered to you!!!! We were seated and had the best waiter! He was very attentive and personable! I ordered the blueberry waffles which were delicious and not too sweet! I requested the bacon well done and IT WAS! Yummers! Perfect!!!! I will be back! Love, love this spot!

If you're looking to get your drink on, this place would be a good place for that. Has a good outside space and decent inside bar area. The food however - not that great unless you're getting a burger. - Chicken spiedini was very lackluster. Not much filling, dry and lacking much flavor. - Chili: Not very good and must be some pre-fab chili stuff they're using. - Alfredo: This wasn't too bad...especially compared to the other items I listed above. - Burger was decent enough. Hard to mess up a burger. Would I be back to eat? No. Like I said...get your drink on - that's what this place is good for.

Came for lunch with my sister, we had a short wait but nothing outrageous for a Friday afternoon. We split the spinach artichoke dip, my sister got the shrimp tacos, and I got the French dip. All were pretty good with generous portion sizes! The prices are a little steep, but it's pretty on par with the area. Our service was fairly slow, our server even made the comment that she felt like she had neglected us. The place is huge and has a beautiful patio, my sister and I both said we would love to return just to enjoy the space with friends!

Came here on a Saturday night at 10pm. Was able to get seated right away. Staff was very friendly and loved talking about the history of the restaurant and St. Louis. Food was very good. I had the Brisket plate, small pizza and gooey cheesecake. Brisket was very tender and flavorful. Pizza was St. Louis thin crust. It looks light but it was nice and heavy. Gooey cheesecake was definitely the right choice. Wish the slices were bigger though! Overall a great restaurant, vibes were relaxing and our server was checking in very often to make sure we were well taken care of.

Went here for brunch on a Sunday and it was super crowded. There is no ability to check-in online so you do have to do it at the restaurant. Plenty of free street parking. Menu is large and has a lot of options. They were able to accommodate my friend's dairy allergy

A friend and I did some boutique shopping in Kirkwood, while our dogs were at a local dog spa. After shopping, it was time for a martini and a light lunch. When you're in Kirkwood, you cannot go wrong when you dine at Billy G's. We both enjoyed an Extra Dry Vodka (Tito's) Martini, with olives as a garnish. They were so good, I had to have a second one. My friend remained strong and only had one, but she enjoyed hers as much as I did mine. They truly were a masterfully made cocktail. My friend is doing low-carb, so she ordered their Backyard chicken wings and chose Bleu Cheese for dipping. The wings were a BBQ dry-rub and must of been good, she cleaned those bones like a pro. I went with their, Gianino's Salad with Gianino's House dressing. I went with the starter size, but added Grilled Shrimp. The salad is a Romaine and Iceberg mix with, STL style cheese, (code for Provel) mushroom, green onion and pimento. Adding the shrimp was a smart decision, it truly made it a great lunch. I loved, it. The shrimp were good sized and delicious. Our server was attentive, friendly and did not rush us. He even helped us make some of our decisions.

Billy G's is a consistently good choice for great food at a great price. I got a small Margherita pizza and had plenty left for leftover lunches. Service was prompt and attentive. Our waiter kept the glasses full and checked on us frequently. The ambiance was mostly enjoyable. More attention could go to cleanliness of the area, but overall still enjoyable.

I went here for lunch with a groups of friends/coworkers. This was my first time going here. The place also had brunch at the time too. We all decided to order instead of brunch. I got the eggplant parmesan. It came with white pasta and a salad. I went with the Caesar salad. The salad was good, rich and flavorful. I also got their alcoholic drink, it was peach something but I forgot the name of it. It was a good drink. The service was great. The waitress was very attentive.

We visited Billy G's for our monthly book club. The location had easy to find parking and we didn't have to wait long for a table. The music and atmosphere were so loud that we couldn't hear each other from the opposite sides of the table and even had trouble hearing the server when he took our order. The reason for the 3 stars was the food itself. I am not a picky eater but was taken aback by how salty the burger was. A couple of us got a burger and we all had a hard time with the saltiness. I was also surprised the burger did not come with lettuce, tomato, or onion. I asked the server after we got our food and was told it would be an additional cost, and that I only had lettuce on mine because I asked for a lettuce wrapped burger instead of the bun. It was surprising to hear lettuce tomato or onion wasn't a standard offering for the burgers. I don't know if I'll return to Billy G's, the service was nice but the food and atmosphere were not something I would pay for again.

Came here on a double date - place was packed. They didn't take reservations but worked with us on getting a table of 4 set. Drew was our server and truly had top level service - pays attention to the details, is quick, and just overall quality guy. Highly recommend coming here even just to experience the service! Leaving happy! Also accommodated my wife who is vegan ! Thank you!

I came here for happy hour last night, it was a beautiful night on their patio. We arrived around 430 and there was already a wait- this place is always busy! They have some pretty great happy hour specials. $6ish dollars for house wine, beer, well cocktails, and cans. We ordered some white wine and ended up getting dinner, so no HH food options for us. I love their house salad, so I got that with chicken. My mom got the chicken spedini and always has great things to say about it. Our server was so busy but still attentive, definitely appreciated. Happy we got one last happy hour on the patio before it gets too cold!

Lovely patio with live music. Dog friendly. Long wait on a Sunday evening. Plenty of TVs to watch the game. The brisket platter was just ok. The meats were covered in sugar which was a surprise. The broccoli salad was better than the potato salad.

had two bloody Mary's and two appetizers and a bill came to $100 this place is priced themselves too high. That's why this place is not packed on a beautiful day like today I used to be been coming here for over a decade. Very disappointed. Food was subpar way overpriced server was fantastic Won't be back

I recently visited Billy G's on a Saturday night at 5 PM with a group of 9, and we had made reservations almost a week in advance. Almost immediately upon arrival, we were seated at a spacious table towards the back of the restaurant. They were packed! Unfortunately it was raining pretty hard all night, but I would have loved to sit out on their comfortable heated patio. The fire and string lights looked so cozy! My table ordered a variety of drinks, including their seasonal Harvest Margarita and Angry Orchard. Everything was great! The Harvest Margarita is made with Una Vida tequila, lime juice, simple, topped with apple cider, and it's served in the cutest mason jar with a cinnamon-sugar rim. I was impressed by their expansive menu! I debated between several different menu items before deciding on the Con Broccoli, which includes marinara + garlic parmesan cream sauce blend, broccoli, mushroom, and mini rigatoni. I ordered it without mushroom. The portion was HUGE! I easily could have split it with my friend who ordered the same thing as me. It's always nice to take home leftovers, though! Service was a bit slow, but totally understandable since we had such a large group and it was crowded. Our server also mixed up all of our checks when it was time to pay, but once again understandable because of our larger group. She resolved everything quickly.

Awesome menu with some great tasting food. I noticed they had a coffee menu and I was very surprised since I thought this was more of a diner place. They had tons of flavors and great mixes! Amazing food!

Sat at the bar and shared a couple appetizers. We had the sesame crusted tuna and the backyard chicken wings. The tuna was served like sushi with toasted sesame seeds, soy ginger sauce and honey wasabi. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. The backyard chicken wings were 1lb of BBQ dry rubbed & charred on the grill. I'd give this 4 out of 5 stars. Excellent service at the bar. Street parking in front of the restaurant.

When I tell you I was satisfied with this place!! From the moment I walked in, until we left, everyone was so pleasant, professional and detailed. All of our food (waffle, eggs, sausage, potatoes, and biscuits) were amazing! I literally could have ate a plate of just sausage and biscuits! Our waiter Mat was so kind and made sure we were taken care of. The restaurant is currently getting some renovations, but it didn't cause any confusion.

Repeat visit, a beautiful day to sit outside or dine in! I ordered my favorite beverage, their delicious red sangria, but they only carry it in the winter months. So I looked over their nice drink menu and decided on a Bahama Breeze. It was so delightful with tropical coconut rum, pineapple and cranberry juices. Almost thought I was in the Florida Keys for a moment!! Hubby chose Billy's house burger with fries with the "special sauce." Our waitress confirmed it was thousand island! I was graciously given a couple bites and it was superb! Fries were good and were fried fresh without being greasy. I selected the Gianino's deluxe flatbread pizza! Wow! So deliciously fresh and piping hot! Our server was just ok; she seemed friendly and she met our needs well. Can't go wrong here with ANY item on the menu!! I'm already looking forward to returning!

Everything was very large portions. We ordered 1 appetizer and 4 entrees. Definitely way too much food. We probably have 2 whole portions worth of food leftover. Service was fast. Easy parking. Very lively atmosphere.

Food was good, our waiter Parker was amazing. The manager however was extremely rude and condescending. I was there with a group of friends for a reunion. The manager came over to shush us in a very condescending way. Big mistake, HUGE, Billy G's just lost our business as well as anyone we tell.

Great happy hour well drink specials. Their peach cocktail is delicious and so worth the price tag. Food is pretty good, not mind blowing but their patio makes up for it. Very friendly waiters but one of the managers was unpleasant as we overheard him speaking rather harshly with his staff.

Four of us came in on a busy Sunday afternoon. We were able to be seated almost immediately, as there was a spot available at the bar (outside and inside was going to be a bit longer of a wait). Their patio looks like a cute space, so Id love to check that out some other time. It was our 1st time there (our friends had been before). My partner and I were very impressed at the size of the menu and all of the options. My only complaint was that our appetizer didn't come out until our food did- usually you want to munch on something before your entrees come out. When my friend asked about the appetizer, our waitress said our wings likely wouldn't come out before our entrees with how backed up the kitchen was at the time- I just thought a heads up would have been appreciated without us having to inquire. Overall, the food was decent, I think everyone enjoyed their meals. I would definitely consider coming back in the future.

About a week ago I took my parents here for a large variety dinner meal and they were not let down by the experience. Our server was delightful, very efficient and personable which we found to be true of all the staff. We love wings and have high expectations and were very pleased with the trashed wings. My dad couldn't stop talking about the quality of the blue cheese. The pizza was good as well but I could barely touch it because of how satisfied / full I was with the Cobb salad.

Billy Gs is a go to for nice weather patio dining in Kirkwood area. We went after a Kirkwood trick or treat event to take in some fall weather dishes. Our tradition has been the apple cider margaritas they put on their seasonal menu. So yummy! This year they added a couple new cocktails, but I stuck to tradition. I ordered their chili since it was a cool evening, and it did not disappoint. It was the most hearty bowl of chili I may have had at any restaurant. Lots of meat and great value! Wait staff is always super nice here. And the ambiance was perfect to get into the spirit of the Halloween festivities.

When my husband and I came to St. Louis for vacation, we stopped at Billy G's a couple of times because it was recommended to us. We ended up LOVING our experiences, sitting inside the restaurant for brunch and outside on the patio for dinner. When we came here for dinner, we came on a super busy night where they had live music outside on the patio. As a result, most were sitting outside, and we wanted to, as well. We ended up waiting an extra 15 minutes for a table outside despite being able to sit inside immediately, but it was worth it. Although we didn't end up sitting on the end of the patio where the musician was playing, we loved the atmosphere. When we came here for brunch later in our vacation, we sat at a hightop near the bar, and we loved that atmosphere, too. We were still decently secluded from the busyness of the main dining room, and we were sitting near other couples since the tables near the bar only had two-seated tables. During our dinner experience, I ended up ordering a delicious frozen mango margarita and a veggie power bowl with chicken ($17.99). This came with brown rice, broccoli, carrots, and low-sodium soy sauce. It was delicious, though admittedly, I think it had too much rice, which ended up drying out the dish. The chicken was grilled and seasoned PERFECTLY, though, and I think the chicken completed the dish. I can't imagine how plain the bowl would have been without any protein. During this visit, my husband ordered the brisket plate ($19.99) and raved about it our whole trip! The BBQ menu is only available Thursday-Sunday, and he was so happy with the way it was cooked. With this meal, you get cornbread and the choice of two other sides, and he ended up ordering the coleslaw and broccoli salad with bacon. He wasn't a fan of the broccoli salad too much, but that was just him not liking it, not that it was made wrong. During our brunch experience, I ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of fruit ($13.99). They have AMAZING gravy with the perfect texture and flavor. I would 100% order this again if I return to St. Louis. For my drink, I ordered the bloody mary, and it was delicious. It was a bit on the spicier side, which I enjoyed, and it had a perfect blend of vodka and tomato so that it didn't taste too strong either way. As for my husband, he ordered the steak & eggs plate ($19.99), and the steak was cooked perfectly to his liking. He also ordered a side of sausage links, which he enjoyed. Service-wise, we always had great personable waitresses, and everyone at the front desk was also nice and helpful. We had no problems with anyone or anything throughout both experiences. Overall, we had the best experiences here, and we will continue to recommend to all who visit St. Louis.

My first time here was for a friend's birthday celebration. The menu had many drink and food options to choose from. The patio area was large. There was live music playing throughout our dinner. Our service was standard. The food was decent. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance of this establishment the most.

We had great weather as we sat on their beautiful patio and had great food and conversation. The band was great, and not too loud so we could still hear ourselves. The server was very friendly and the cocktails were delicious! The portions of the nachos and the pizza were colossal and made it easy to share the tasty food.

Great service, food and drinks! A stop every time we're back in St Louis! They got us in really quickly on a busy night .

I think the hype was too big. It wasn't as easily allergy-proof as expected. I had an excellent Cobb salad -HUGE!- with a few items omitted. The place was packed. Our party was large. Not a fair assessment for Billy G's. I'll go back again and get you an update.

Billy G's is always a favorite place for their patio. Unfortunately it was too cold but don't let that keep you away. It's still a great place! I had the chicken spiedeni sandwich and oh my goodness....it's so good! Sweet potato fries are crispy and so yummy too. We ended with a chocolate martini and it didn't disappoint either. The only complaint I can ever have is it's so loud inside! Of course they can't help That everyone wants to eat there! I've never seen it not crowded so get there early! Always great service too!

We had a great time at Billy G's. We went with another couple. We started with The artichoke dip and the smokehouse nachos. 3 of us had the 3 blind mice amber on draft. It is so good nice and smooth with hints of carmel. My wife had the sunset spritz. She said it was very good. My friend and I had the large deluxe pizza. It was over loaded with toppings. There was a cheese hamburger pizza with pickle and onion and a chicken modiga ordered everything was delicious and hot. Our waitress Bella was fantastic. She was attentive and made sure we were never thirsty. We sat in side for dinner everything was cleaned and spotless. A very good evening with friends

We live in Kirkwood and Billy's used to be our go to place. Over the past couple of years, the food has become uneven. Sometimes good, sometimes not. Fries are usually cold and limp. The service has gotten really bad-they are understaffed and seem to not care. We just walked out after sitting at a dirty bar -with only one person we saw working behind the bar-, the restaurant and bar were extremely crowded. Management is going to have to do some work to win us back.

I've been back here many times since my first visit, and every time the food has been great! This most recent time we got the Buffalo chicken salad and the trashed wings. Both were great! The trashed wings were very crispy and had lots of flavor, one of our new favorites from this place that we will order again!

We went to Billy G's for carry out pizza and it did not disappoint! I walked in and was immediately served. There was live music and everyone seemed to be in a great mood! The pizza was pretty good and a good size for a larger group! I'd love to try again and dine in!

I've gone a few times and sadly haven't enjoyed as much as I would have liked. The most recent time, the drink I got was $12 and just tasted like sour lemonade and no alcohol. The sandwich was decent, but too buttery on the bread. Fries heavily salted. The time before that, I got a flatbread and it was too basic and not worth the price in my opinion. It's in such a great area and spot but always super busy with slower and less attentive service.

As a pizza aficionado I was concerned about St Louis cheese and the description that it has its own flavor but when in St Louis (or anywhere) do as the locals do. I visited here on a Friday night visiting a friend, good energetic atmosphere. Now the pizza. It was good and the taste while different wasn't off-putting to me. I wouldn't try it again as it's something I'd try once but I prefer mozzarella or something less robust. The service here was good. Not great, definitely not bad. It was very busy so all things considered it was good. Why 3-stars. It was your average bar/restaurant. It had that hometown local vibe which I like and at the same time even the friends I were with lived, worked, and one of them were born here. I didn't feel like we belonged.

I can understand the hype around this place! The food was yummy! The service was wonderful. They are decorated for the holiday season! Pros: great service, the trashed wings are incredible, and the BBQ sauce had good flavor. Cons: wait times were pretty long and they don't accept reservations or call aheads for small parties. The brisket could not have been worse, but judging from other reviews/pictures this might have been a one-off night for the brisket? We can hope. It was incredibly dry and sliced super thin.

Top place I enjoy to brunch! They have a huge menu with a ton of options for all eaters. For brunch they also have a bottomless brunch bar with a variety of juices, fruits, topping, and mixers. The bar is a little pricey so you have to drink a few to get your moneys worth. Food was delicious! But honestly the patio is the move. It seats so many people, the restaurant and the patio are huge. Service is good though does seem chaotic! Some of the pricing is on the higher end, so if coming I would expect a few extra $$ for things.

The food was good, I loved my sandwich, fries, and drink! The waitress we had (Abby) she was amazing! Very attentive and friendly. Loved her service and I would definitely come back because of that.

My wife, myself, and some friends came here on a Friday night. We wanted to sit on the patio. We did not have a reservation--the wait was about 1 hour on the dot. Once seated, our server was on it! We got drinks and apps placed promptly. We got the spinach artichoke dip which was fantastic. For an entree, my wife and I shared a custom pizza consisting of basically a meatlovers. The pizza was fresh, mouth watering cheese, and great meats on top! We really enjoyed our experience here.

Updated review from 4 years ago. The patio are was a nice spot to seat and the food was delicious. They offer a full bar and have a wide variety of food options to please just about everyone. The fettuccine was good and a nice change from burgers and fries. Salads are fresh and full of flavor.

Great food... We love ordering online! I don't think they've ever messed up on our order. Hard to get outdoor seating at times, but that's to be expected in a town like Kirkwood... Probably our top five fave restaurants in the area.

We are from California, but whenever we are in St. Louis (visiting college daughter), Billy G's Kirkwood is always top of the list for my husband!!! He loves the pork chops, I love the salads, we love the artichoke dip, and all the other items we and our friends and family members have tried!!!!
