A hidden gem with lots of history, nearly 50 years worth!
Described as a capsule with the rustic charm to match, tons of decor to highlight the 70s and 80s since Billy Reed's opened its doors in 1975. I wanted to enjoy some company, conversation and a lite start to the day with one of my favorite people in the world, my friend Art who's been a local resident for the last five years.
I'd heard the name Billy Reed's but didn't know much of it or what to expect. Parking easily, surrounded by trees, touches of shade and lots of spaces.
When we walked up to this huge place with a gorgeous Koi pond just before the foot of the entrance I knew what to expect even less lol. Coming in through the doors to the hall just before the doors to the main entrance you get a shift in weather before the magic of room temp cool.
On the right is beautiful casual seating, a huge lounge tea room meets a grand living room showroom. Lamps, fixtures, oil painted art, pictures, mirrors and a huge fireplace.
To the left and even around the corner of the wall is an endless space of various rooms and seating... It's like a restaurant, home and estate all rolled into one. You'll note some cool signs like a vintage cash register, capacity sign and detailed paneling.
Typically not a coffee drinker, but very much enjoyed theirs - very toasted bold blend. Art had a very eggy brek - and I opted for some classic home fries, toast (no butter) and a side of avocado. Billy Reeds has a huge assortment... plus "Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner served anytime."
Note:
Oatmeal is only served until 11AM, however:
Enjoy Sandwiches, Burgers, Plates, Entrees for the AM and PM (think Omelettes, Pancakes, Waffles, Grilled, Roasted or Broiled dinners)
Wraps (veggie for me - hold the cheese)
Appetizers (tons, including onions rings, chips and guac... don't mind if I do).
If I were hungrier and/or my next trip in I would definitely try more as they do have some choice veggie options - loads of vegetarian and some solid vegan friendly as well. Plus they're willing to accomodate, friendly, warm, easy going and attentive.
Drink options are abundant, from juices to soft drinks and loads of classic non-alcoholic beverages for all. For adult favs Billy Reeds has:
Beers including domestic, imported and draft though limited to a handful of each - same with wine (red and white)
Desserts are very cakes, pies, ice cream plus a few misc items like cinnamon rolls.
Loads of options for wear to dine from the bar to booths to all types of tables. Small or larger group ready. Billy R's is the place to be for any meal time of day as early as 8AM until 9PM any day of the week.
