We ate at Billy's a couple months ago; driving past and thought what the heck... lunch at 1pm. She had a sandwich, me breakfast. As I recall food was OK - service a bit slow and the place was not crowded. I recall they are open till 2; serve only bfast and lunch. We mentioned to the waitress this was our first time here, and she said welcome - and that the staff was in 'a good mood'. I asked why and she said the Owner was not there that day and everyone was relaxed. Hmm, not good to tell a customer that I thought... She said he was a Middle-Eastern guy and very strict - name IS NOT Billy... Well as mentioned food was kinda OK, and the service deteriorated since the order.
Took a while to come, potatoes were cold, and took a while to get our waitresses attention - then took time to get a check. Wait staff seemed lax. We would not return - but if we knew the owner, I would have talked with him after our visit. My feeling = if HE'S the owner, he should demand good service from his people, period. But with the so-so food and poor service, we would not return considering all the other places in TV area...
