Super sweet waitress. The kitchen was open and the bar was super clean.great cozy place to grab a bite to eat. The food came quick and was delicious. Prices were a bit high but not ridiculous. Really wanted the smoked ribs so was very dissapointed they were not available.

My husband and I decided to try their food last night. He ordered a chicken dish and I ordered the ribs. His dish was good, mine was not. My ribs were so tough, you couldnt pull the meat off with your teeth. I had to use a knife and fork to try to get the meat off. . I ended up not eating 80% of it. It was frustrating after they advertise how good the ribs are.

Had a Valentine’s Day dinner here the day after valentines the steak was delicious food is good. Homemade cookies were delicious place is really noisy so be ready for high decibel noise level.

As good as the food was and service and everything I would say the 9 o’clock shut down time is disappointing since it’s listed on the website as late night dining and we were just having the best conversation and we were told that we needed to leave because they were closing at 9 o’clock

UPDATE:
Went this weekend hubby had the BLT salad he enjoyed it, the homemade dressing was delicious. I had a skirt steak, it had a weird odor, wasn’t tender as advertised in the menu, it was juicy, I think seasoning was weird. The salad I had came right out of the bag. The sour cream and ranch come in little plastic tubs w lids, butter comes in the little pkgs. but thankfully the Heinz 57 comes in a bottle. Plastic bagged lettuce and condiments. Our waitress was very nice, but a bit too eager to clear our table every trip over, reaching over my food a drink. Finally a bit of education was well received.

The place closes around 8 PM, 9 PM so don’t be fooled by with the website says .
Our waiter was very nice. One of the ladies seem to be in charge, I wouldn’t say unfriendly, but not overly welcoming.

All the bathrooms are down in the basement so if you don’t do steps better, be willing to hold your bladder

We came to town from Minnesota for work projects. Shannon was our server. She did a great job. They were very very busy. Large table orders were coming in all at the same time. Shannon clearly communicated any delays and promptly and professionally provided us the best service. Hands down the best onion rings I've ever had! This town is small and there's not a lot of options. I would highly recommend to stop and see what they have to offer. They do get busy but consider being patient.

Went there on a random weekday for lunch. The food was great and the service was fast and friendly. What really drew us to the place was the menu. They have a kind of off the wall menu with very unique options. My coworker got the 4th of July burger which had a grilled hot dog, bake beans, and chips on top. He said it was phenomenal. I had the Dmitri sandwich and it was great as well. It was a little pricey, but worth it.

Fries and burger were great. They even cooked for us as the kitchen was closing.

My sister and I always try to find a local place that gets good reviews -- Billie Jo's was it...and we mean IT!! Our server (Tammy) was phenomenal; the food was exceptional - absolutely delicious. If you let the negative reviews sway your decision from giving them a try is rather unfortunate. We would LOVE to go back!!!

This place has been recommended so many times by so many of my friends that I decided to give it a try for lunch. I passed on the appetizer although I noticed they had fried mushrooms on the menu. The menu is pretty deep, this place is way more than a main street bar selling standard bar food.
My Billie Jo's Burger was pretty impressive. The beef patty was perfectly charbroiled and they were generous with the veggies. Seemed like the entire platter was piled with fries and burger. They got the good krinkle cut fries!
That guy cooking knocked it out of the park.
Service was perfect and the bar was kinda cool, I highly recommend it. Looking forward to eating here again.
They also sell artisian loaves of sourdough bread. So delicious! Both kinds.
