Billy Hicks Georgetown

Cute spot for lunch with a great menu—so many good options it was hard to choose. The salads especially looked popular and delicious! But we were hangry. Sliders- came a little well done. Blackened Chicken sandwich- my husband was happy with his choice BLT- I should have said easy on the mayo or mayo on the side. But it was ok. It comes with fries, they were nice and crispy. They have nice menu options so we would definitely return. Service is friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed too.

The environment was really nice, and the hosts were friendly and amazing — they made us feel welcome right away. The food I ordered was overall good; however, the chicken ( Pan Roasted Chicken ) didn’t taste very fresh, and there was a bit of blood on the bone, which made me feel it wasn’t fully cooked. For the price, I expected better quality, so it did feel a bit overpriced for what I got. Other than that, everything else was fine, and I did enjoy the atmosphere and service.

We decided to spend our anniversary here and we were not disappointed. Our server Jay made our night so special. They bonded with our son, gave great recommendations and made sure we had the best experience. Our first time and won’t be our last. Get the London broil, crispy brussel sprouts and the chocolate cake!!!

The food was great and the vibes were modern! We got the Billy burger, artichoke dip, and fried mozzarella. Would recommend for a quick bite! It seems like they are a bit understaff; however, the staff was trying their best!

The little donuts instead of bread was a pleasant surprise. The Bang Bang Prawns were delicious 5/5. The Billy Burger was solid 4/5 but I didn't notice the different meats, tasted like a normal burger. The Crispy Brussels sprouts were interesting, my first time with these, I was pretty impressed 5/5. Chicken Tenders were 3/5, a bit boring and dry. Staff were friendly and attentive, nice decor and vibe inside.

I’ve had a lot of burgers in my life, but the Billy Burger is among the best I’ve had. The meat was juicy, cooked to perfection, and seasoned so well! The roll was soft and fresh. The only complaint I have is that it was too big, and I left over full! The service was a little slow, but I can chalk that up to it being so full of happy customers. Oh, and the donut bread? I would have paid for that as an appetizer! This was a gem and I’m so thankful for the word of mouth recommendation!

In the busy street of Georgetown , this is a really cool find , it was completely packed when we went there . After 5-10 mins we managed to find some space near the bar . It is a cute place , their burgers were good . Service was so attentive . The staff was all smiley and accommodating. If ur shopping in Georgetown and want a good drink for a break .Try it .Can improve more.

I made a reservation hours in advance for a patio table to celebrate a birthday, but when we arrived, the table had already been given to someone else. We decided to stay and ordered food, but when we asked about the birthday cake we had requested when making the reservation, our server said she hadn’t been told anything about it and started apologizing. Overall, the experience was extremely disappointing — poor communication and horrible service for what was supposed to be a special occasion.

Awesome customer service! Derrick always makes me feel welcomed and the food is delicious!

Stumbled across Billy Hicks after a day of exploring Georgetown. When I walked in, it was packed. There was a slight wait, but had the opportunity to hang out at the bar for no more than 20 minutes, before being seated on the patio. Shoutout to the server D'Shae! I asked about the sandwich selections and could not have been happier with his recommendations. I love when a server is attentive, but not bothersome. NOW... let's get into the food! All the items came out in a decent amount of time and made with care. The sandwich was delicious and filling (with a side), the balsamic glaze on the brussel sprouts was a perfect touch, and the french fries were fresh and covered in parmesan!

Excellent brunch, great service and nice outdoor seating. Andreas was awesome! Highly recommend!

I've been excited to try this place since I first spotted it sometime at the end of last year. The food was very disappointing. I cannot express it enough. I wouldn't go back and lowkey wish I went anywhere else instead. We ordered wings, nachos with chicken, a club stack, and the Billy burger. First, I don't know why they make their nachos the way they do. I mean I get what they were trying to do--they stack every ingredient on individual chips and bake it. I'm assuming so that each chip has all the ingredients. In theory, great idea. In practice, at least what they did, not so much. It was just alright. The wings were good. Can't go wrong with wings really and if they did, this would've been a one star. The club stack was a turkey club and it was just not good. The turkey seemed like Hillshire Farms oven roasted turkey but honestly even worse. It did not hold its own. The bacon wasn't good either. There was no condiments, no sauce, nothing. Just the ingredients put together with no love. The cheese was cold. All around, not good. Very disappointing. The burger looked bad. I didn't have it but my friend said it was just not good. Neither of us are picky eaters and don't believe in food waste, so we really just eat anything but this was hard to finish. They also didn't tell us the fries had parmesan cheese on them and my friend does not like parmesan. Speaking of the fries, they were okay. Very thin so they got cold easily. The food is just okay at best. We got the most basic items and they were not good. Other people have different opinions so it might be worth trying for yourself. I would not go back and I am not happy I went lol.

Billy hicks has potential but it's just ok. The service was ok, the outdoor seating was small and a bit awkward, and the food was ok? I can't even remember what I got, it was that forgettable. The best part was the donuty bread we got at the beginning. Would I go back? Sure but not my first choice for restaurants.

I've always walked past Billy Hicks, but decided to swing by for their drink options. I ordered a matcha latte with oatmilk and to be honest wasn't impressed. My beverage tasted primarily of milk and barely any matcha. Service was also quite slow. The only reason for the 4 stars was how good the menu looked and pastry options. I didn't grab any but I spoke to a few customers and they spoke highly of their food. When you walk in, you can smell how good some of the food is. I also really like the decor. Would definitely come back for a dine-in option.

I stopped by Billy Hicks in Georgetown to try their espresso martini, that my coworker has been raving about. It's called the Study Buddy. I asked the bartender if it was made with freshly brewed espresso and she said yes. I'm not a regular coffee drinker, but it didn't taste like brewed espresso. It did have a bold, rich, and smooth espresso like flavor. The bold aftertaste leaned more toward a coffee flavored liqueur. I also tried the Bang Bang Shrimp appetizer, which the bartender highly recommended. While I appreciated the suggestion, I didn't love the pairing with the drink. The flavors just didn't complement each other. The shrimp itself wasn't quite my style, but that's more personal taste than anything. Overall, the service was friendly, the atmosphere was nice, and I'd definitely return to try a full dining experience and explore more of their menu.

Service was amazing, awesome staff. It was incredibly packed so I would definitely go early if you're with a large group. bFast sammie was amazing love the croissant sandwich, amazing idea! The waffles sucked, with the syrup it was god tier somehow. Berry berry shortstack was light and tasty.

Pretty good but there are better brunch spots in the city. I've been intrigued by this restaurant for a while and finally went for brunch. It was very busy but we were able to easily make a reservation. Inside, it was packed. The service was good enough, but the food was average. I got the breakfast sandwich and was disappointed because it was a little dry. The potatoes that came along with it, however, were delicious! Very flavorful and a good serving of them. Overall, I'm glad I tried it out but would probably not return.

Okay so I've been here one other time with my friend for her birthday (we loved it). But we had gone for lunch so I wanted to check this place out for dinner. Plus we had gone when they opened two days prior. So now they've been around the block since October... I was so excited to eat here and genuinely, the pretzel is probably the best appetizer I've ever had in my entire life. This pretzel was delicious, but the sauce. THE SAUCE. That was the star. It had some spicy element and was so cheesy and gooey. Ugh I wanted to put that on my burger but it was cleared with the plate when we finished. Maybe next time (peak indulgence). I'd come back just to eat this pretzel. The burger was also so delicious and very rich and filling. The bacon was cooked great and the burger was so juicy and thick. Omg. The fries were good. Ugh I loved it. But why am I at 4 stars then? I think the food is a 5/5, but our service was so bad. I can't remember our server's name, but it's probably because he was so inattentive. He didn't check on us at all and I wish we could've just tipped the busser instead. I can understand being so busy. But that's the thing. It wasn't that busy! After we sat down (and waited ten minutes), he took our drink order and then didn't return for 30 minutes! We had to flag him down to order our food because he just didn't care enough to check on us and would rather watch March Madness or chat with the bartender. Even after we finished eating and wanted to get a box to go, he was just not there and we had to wave over someone from the front. A restaurant this good should have 5 stars. The vibes are great, the food is fantastic, and I hope the next time we come, the service is better.

Super cute place in a busy area of Georgetown. I loved that you could get brunch and lunch (if you were seated at the right time). Even though we got there way before brunch ended, it took quite awhile to get seated, so we had to order from the lunch menu. We were seated 15 minutes past their brunch time and they wouldn't even serve an açaí bowl, which didn't require cooking. But, moving on. I loved the fried-bread like donut that they provide at the beginning of the meal. Those were so good. We opted for the chop chop salad, the pretzel and the carne asada tacos. Food was really good. The pretzel was the favorite. Everything came out fairly quickly considering they were busy. I would say I wish our waiter would have been a bit more pleasant and present. It's definitely worth checking out if you are in the area, but not sure I would go back.

The environment was really nice, and the hosts were friendly and amazing -- they made us feel welcome right away. The food I ordered was overall good; however, the chicken ( Pan Roasted Chicken ) didn't taste very fresh, and there was a bit of blood on the bone, which made me feel it wasn't fully cooked. For the price, I expected better quality, so it did feel a bit overpriced for what I got. Other than that, everything else was fine, and I did enjoy the atmosphere and service.

Able to walk in and get a seat outside. You are above street level, which was nice. There weren't heaters but we were warm enough and they offered to move us inside when a table opened up. Service was attentive and well-paced. We ordered the chips and dip, grilled cheese, and fish tacos. It was fine. The fried green tomatoes on the grilled cheese were excellent. I'd return to try the brunch menu.

Decided to try somewhere new for my actual birthday and was so underwhelmed by my experience here!! The photos were misleading for sure :( Besides our server (isabelle/a?) disappearing for a good portion of the time we were seated, the food was not great. We tried the chips&dips which were mid at best, the "guac" was straight up mashed avocado with no seasoning or other veg added.. the fish tacos were just okay, and my steak was ordered medium and came very much well done and not seasoned?? I was annoyed at myself for trying this place instead of going somewhere familiar for my birthday. Best part of the entire meal were the Ozzy rolls I had to specifically ask for- and my server didn't seem to know what i meant until i described the circular bread...? Even though she gave it to another table no problem. Weird experience overall and maybe this place should stick to being a cafe + doing coffee related food. Look elsewhere if in the Georgetown area!

10/10! Great affordable brunch in the heart of Georgetown. We got our food super fast and everything was warm and tasted delicious!! Omelette with the ham steak and hashbrowns were incredible. Highly recommend the biscuit side! Really flakey and flavorful, perfect texture. Our waiter was helpful though not the most attentive, so just know you're going for good-priced food and tastiness, not the service experience. Restaurant was really cute and clean inside. I loved the vintage feel

Food is great but front hostesses are so incredibly rude it's wild that the business would even allow their behavior at the front they are giving girls nasty looks rolling their eyes when checking in it was foullll

Came here on a weekend afternoon for lunch. We were sat at a pretty small table. Usually tables for two are small, but this one felt particularly tiny. Perhaps it was just too closely situated near other tables, but I wish the table itself was a little bit more spacious and that we have more room in between tables. Otherwise, Billy Hicks has clean bathrooms that are spacious, and were some of the cuter bathrooms I've seen in DC (like their brass details). It also felt a smidge more casual, which I enjoyed because you can watch a game on the screen while dining.

saw how popular this place was and had to check it out. besides the interior i do have some criticisms about this place.. including the service and food. we got the billy burger and fried chicken platter. the burger was way too salty - we had to leave half of it behind. the chicken platter was seasoned perfectly though, went amazing with the cole slaw. i agree with all the other reviews, the parmesan fries are the best!! service was meh, besides taking orders and the check we never saw our server. check took about 10-15 minutes after finishing our meal to get to us. people at the front looked upset to even be there. music is deafening.. i had to raise my voice significantly to talk to my partner. though, i do think everyone should try this place out at least once. it is worth the vibe.

Went for a little retail therapy in Georgetown and stumbled upon this cute spot. The lovely green exterior drew me inside. I was welcomed upon entering. Cafe on the left and there is a center bar and then scattered seating arrangements as well as a cute balcony overlooking m street. Picked up coffee drinks and a delicious muffin but will definitely come back for lunch and drinks as a mid day break. Perfect corner spot so cute and fun. Check it out!

Billy hicks opened recently but overall it is a great addition to Georgetown. We had dinner and I will say I would come back but probably order something else. The brussel sprouts stole the show, the bacon with the glaze had an even balance and also a good crisp. The fried mozzarella was also really good; lots of cheese and super warm. Lastly the steak was undercooked on one and overcooked on the other, it was tough, and the bernais was extremely sweet but benefit of the doubt is this is not a steak place. Fries were good but ranch was terrible. DC has a lot of amazing places so the bar is pretty high but I will try again because I feel that getting steak here was my fault!

Great cozy corner restaurant in Georgetown! It has a great vibe inside with very friendly staff; I recommend it the most for lunch or brunch. The Parmesan Fries are killer and the Ceaser Salad is perfect. They have a large menu so it's a great spot to take anyone, there's something for every person. I will be back for brunch!

We enjoyed our meal tonight at Billy Hicks, one of the newer spots to open in Georgetown as of writing in October 2024. The atmosphere is wonderful with a cafe in the front serving coffee, teas and pastries. A bar along the window and a dining room with booth seating and wooden tables and chairs. We opted to sit outside since it was one of those rare DC nights where the temperature was perfect. The place still has a few kinks to work out. The menu has a number of items starred, which we initially thought were "top picks" or "chef recommendations." It wasn't explained on the menu and we prioritized our dinner selections based on them. But learned from our server it meant the items were starred since they weren't yet available. Our server was very friendly but we did find a major language barrier. We speak Spanish so we probably should have just asked our questions in Spanish rather than a lot of the confused back and forth in English. Like mentioned, the atmosphere is great. I'm not as much into the big TV sets all over the dining room, but you don't get that outside. It also seems kid friendly as there were kids inside and a menu for kids, which we always appreciate having kids. The food is where I dock off a star. My partner ordered the BLT sandwich with french fries. The fries were really tasty and the BLT was your standard BLT. I ordered the Chili Lime Chicken Tacos, which I found to be very underwhelming. It was 3 tacos, but it came out cold. Also, the chicken was very dry and there was hardly any flavor. I would definitely not order that again. I decided not to send it back since we were in a hurry and had a movie to catch. Plus, I was just really hungry since I didn't eat all day so would have eaten just about anything at that point. The cocktails and drink menu looks great. They had some of my favorite wines on the menu like the Justin cabernet out of Paso Robles and the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. Finally, the fried bread was tasty. It's a little dense and heavy for my taste but my partner ordered 2 complimentary rounds. The breads are fried and topped with sugar and served with a butter drizzled in honey. Think of it as more donut than bread, which is probably why my partner liked it so much!

"Friendly neighborhood spot" was just the right way to describe this new restaurant. Good service and casual atmosphere as I sat in the heart of the dining room. For a while, it honestly did not feel like I was eating in Georgetown. At dinner, I ordered the Billy Burger, a half pound of meat with bacon and your basic burger veggie ingredients. The combination of short rib, brisket, and prime steak made the patty flavorful. I loved that the whole burger held together very well! My dining companion enjoyed the blackened chicken sandwich. The cocktail menu is almost as big as the food menu! I had the Exorcist, but so many other drinks sounded good. The restaurants on M Street are not my first pick for places to eat in Georgetown, but Billy Hicks was worth going to.

Really great atmosphere for a nice sunny day - I love the patio and the open air indoor seating! The service was spotty - it wasn't very busy at all and we got our food before our drinks which was a bit odd. The food and drinks were delicious, however. Cool place but just not stoked on the service.

I really like the atmosphere and mood of Billy Hicks, it is a fun and causal environment with great service and a range of menu options for both food and drinks. It has always been busy when I've stopped in but been able to find seats at the bar with quick, friendly service. The restaurant is clean and so are the restrooms. My only complaint was how thin the lollichops were, there were 2 normal sized ones on top and the two underneath were tiny!

Probably worst service I have experience in a very long time. We sat at the bar with two other people and a bartender. He took 15 minutes to come help us then in 30 minutes to get our chicken fingers then he overcharged us. Then even to pay the bill, I had to go find him so I could pay the bill so I had to leave because I was gonna be there for an hour and I wound be in there for an hour and 45 closer to two hours because my parking was gonna run out. Never again.

Lively atmosphere in the heart of Georgetown. Hard working staff running around taking care of everyone. We had the Belgian waffle and the turkey club sandwich (I was hungry, so I forgot to take pictures). Both were tasty. I had a toasted marshmallow latte, which brought back childhood memories.

Such a cute spot, not to mention every menu item is phenomenal! From coffee, to cocktails, pastries, and entrees - they have it all and do it all flawlessly! The mandarin chicken salad had the perfect balance between sweet and spicy. It is well dressed. The Study Buddy was the perfect traditional espresso martini imo (I can be very picky!).

I've been here several times and there is consistently great service and food. My go to is the BLT sandwich. The drinks are amazing as well.

Billy Hicks is an adorable new spot in Georgetown that has a great blend of American classics and fusion dishes. Came in on Black Friday for dinner and enjoyed appetizers of Bang Bang Shrimp and fish tacos. The shrimp was crispy and flavorful - much like the classic PF Changs recipe. The tacos were lacking a bit of flavor and were just alright. The food is on the pricey side, which perhaps makes sense for the location. The service was speedy on such a busy night. Very kind wait staff. The ambiance is very lively, colorful, and classic. Will definitely be back to try their cafe items!

We arrived on Saturday around 1:00 for a late lunch. Brunch is served until 3 which we weren't expecting -- there was a few items on the Lunch menu that I was hoping for, but sadly not offered on the brunch menu. The three of us (two adults, 12 year old) were seated quickly which was a really nice surprised considering how small the restaurant really is. My partner ordered the Pear Rosemary Sangria on a whim which was really wall balanced, not as sweet as we were anticipating and really easy to drink. The complimentary bread basket was interesting as it was more of a fried bread. I ordered the granola açaí bowel which was fantastic! It had a drizzle of honey on top which probably wasn't necessary as the açaí was sweet enough along with all the fruit. My partner and child split the Berry Berry stack. The pancakes thick, with a crisp edge, but perfectly cooked inside. LOTS of blueberries throughout. We had to ask for syrup though as it didn't come with? (Maybe just a mishap). The standard Benedict was pretty standard, nothing unusual or that stood out. We did order a Billy's Bug Breakfast (not pictured) with a biscuit which was really good, buttery, and flaky! Would highly recommend them. Again, wasn't served with jam or butter? Overall, we had a great experience! they have plenty of TVs to watch games, a wrap around bar and even a small patio (2-3 tops only). Wish it was a little bit bigger of a space as it did feel like some people were sitting on top of each other and everyone heard all your convos. Not their fault, but wanted to make it known that you should come here and expect a private intimate conversation. The kitchen is also open to the dining space so you do get that noise as well. Would definitely come back as it is a welcoming environment and great addition to Georgetown

Very solid addition to M st. I think this will be a hit with visitors and parents of Georgetown and GW students. The redesign of the space is great. I had the crispy noodle shrimp salad. It was huge. definitely good to share. I also tried the "In Fashion" which added rosemary smoke to a classic old fashion cocktail. That was delicious. They have a large drink list and a decent food list. They also have a coffee bar. All the staff are lovely and food came quickly.

This place is beautiful, charming, and so needed in Georgetown. Cute little station to buy coffee to go when you walk in, full bar, and table service available. My husband and I ate on their adorable little patio today. The heavenly Ozzie rolls with honey butter were a welcome surprise. My burger was cooked perfectly, but I also helped myself to his French Dip, and the side Brussels were crisped to perfection. I can't wait to make my way through their whole menu and drinks in the evening. This would be the perfect location to stop for food/drinks between Christmas shopping!

Food great Service great Atmosphere great Three thumbs up!!! Billy Hicks is the perfect addition to Georgetown!!!

Just a good place. Not too large. Attentive and also laid back. Great food. Very enjoyable

Billy Hicks is described as a neighborhood gathering spot, offering breakfast/brunch, lunch, and dinner in the Gtown 'hood. We were in the area, and we decided to stop on by to check them out for an earlier lunch - we ordered: +the Spinach Dip - prepared with spinach, artichoke and Parm cheese; served with corn tortilla chips +Chips and 3 Dips - with poblano queso blanco, fire-roasted chile salsa, and guacamole, served with corn tortilla chips +Fried Green Tomatoes - with red pepper coulis and feta cheese +Short Rib Quesadillas - flour tortilla filled with short rib and jack cheese, with a consommé on the side +The Billy Burger - 1/2 lb of prime steak, short rib, and brisket in a brioche bun, topped with Tillamook cheddar, maple pepper bacon, beefsteak tomatoes, and shredded lettuce; note that these are in limited quantity +the Steak Frites - 14 oz of sliced strip loin steak, served with french fries, herb compound butter, and a bearnaise sauce +and, the Lollichops - Frenched lamb chops with lemon oil and mint chutney We didn't have room for dessert, but perhaps a slice of the Smith Island cake next time! Service was friendly, and the place is laid-back, casual, bright, and clean. +shareable options +friendly service

Food was eh. Could have been better. Service was not great either. Cute spot though and coffee was good.

I was impressed with the fun green and lively music in the restaurant. It was packed for a Saturday but still able to get a table or you could sit at the bar. It took a while for our drinks to come and they had a few items missed from our order that we didn't get, but we loved the food we did have especially the nachos and the BLT. I would go back especially for the prices in Georgetown and the quality of the food was great.

I kept passing this place so I decided to pop in. They have a full restaurant but you can go up to the front and order coffees and pastries to go. I tried the black roast and it was a solid cup for the price. I would go back for a caffeine fix if I was in Georgetown.

Incredible food and atmosphere! Suggest sitting at the bar. All of the food that was coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. Definitely a great brunch and lunch spot!

Great ambiance, great service. Drinks were decent but too sweet imo. Wings were pretty good and a good deal. But for a cutesy/"girl dinner" type spot this place has got to get a better Caesar salad

I ordered through Uber Eats several items based in reviews. I ordered wings, the mandarin chicken salad with extra chicken, the club stack and spinach dip. Because zi had so many specifications and issues with Uber Eats I opted to call and ask a few questions initially and the called to follow up on my order, The assistant manager who answered the going was very polite and agreed to check on my order. She even called dback to let me know they were out of the Napa cabbage lettuce for the salad ans asked which substitution I wanted. The food arrived and the wings were very good and crispy as specified. The salad was good although they may have shorted me on chicken since I opted to triple the amount. The salad and dressing was good. The brussel sprouts did not have the bacon as described but were tasty. The chips used for the spinach dip were not the best although the dip was good. I recommend they use a freshly fried chip or pita type bread or naan.The spinach dip lacked the parmesean crust top, in part due to the packaging which was too large.It shifted around and arrived a little messy. I recommend they package that in a small cup with a lid. They have good food and quality, but would recommend they work on consistency in ingredients as described on the menu. The service was definitely a plus. I still rated them well in the app and will give them a second try. They definitely may be the type of restaurant that shows up better for dine-in customers.

Hubby and I came here on the whim and had a fabulous time. Nyia made wonderful food suggestions and gave excellent service. Ivan made wonderful drinks and was very friendly. It was a great experience overall and we will definitely be back!

Bailed on this place - the staff at the bar couldn't care if you are there, they are much more interested in entertaining themselves. So many better options for a local to go.

Delicious food and great service Been to this restaurant for breakfast a few times and the food was delicious, especially the breakfast wrap. Way to go!!

My 7 friends and I went for my birthday dinner and Derek gave us our entire meal for free because he loves Georgetown students. We had a great meal and free cake. Recommend for bigger groups.

Everyone go see Derek! He makes the best blue matcha! So kind and welcoming! Will return to see him and get the blue matcha!!

This is a very cute diner in downtown Georgetown. I was very excited to go here, and the service is wonderful, but unfortunately the meal was lackluster. I ordered a vanilla latte with macadamia milk that unfortunately had a taste bordering on artificial, and my almond croissant was not very fresh. The staff, however, was incredibly attentive, and the decor is very, very cute and colorful.

Food was amazing. Might be the best fries in DC. On the other hand, service was ehh. It took us a while for everything to come out and our server seemed mad working there.
