Default Billly's Cafe on 441

Has anyone heard if Billy's Cafe will be reopening? Great place for breakfast.

I only ever ate there once, but they were the best pancakes I ever had. I do hope they open back up.

Rumor has it, They won’t be opening until they are able to have a higher capacity for seating.

From the owners point of view probably cannot make money at 50% capacity, from their employees view not so great

Default 50%

50% is not as bad as it appears. As a lifelong restaurant manager I can tell you that most of the time a restaurant is open they operate at less than 50%. Only during prime lunch or dinner hours do they exceed it. Thus over the days operation 50% is probably close to 65% for the days operation

We have been to Billy 3-4 times for lunch or breakfast and we always had to wait for a table.

Do miss it.

That's better than being closed permanently! I've been concerned about them. I like their breakfast and the staff

Phone disconnection not a good sign, think they might well be history and that would be a shame.

The phone recording says, "We are sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service at this time".

Uh oh.

Went there last year because we were told we “had to try it”. Best breakfast, large portions, etc. the place was filthy, I had a hair in my food and that was that. Never went again.
