Default Billy's Cafe

Went there onces. enough. Walked in at 2:00, was told they were closed.
People were eating. They said they close at 2:00. No sign on any door and door was not locked. That was enough. Never again.

If your lunch time is after 2:00, then never again makes sense.

Billy's is a breakfast and lunch place. Never again? I could care less if you never go again, but in the scheme of things you never tried the food at the appropriate times....just a thought.

Billy's Cafe is a breakfast and lunch restaurant and their hours are posted.

It's unfortunate that you went there at 2 p.m. on the nose.
Yes, there were people inside still eating,
but they all had been there well before closing time.

In all fairness to any restaurant,
do you really think it's fair for anyone to expect service
at the exct time a place is ready to close when they are
getting ready to clean up for the next day?

Personally, I would be embarrassed to walk in a restaurant
at their closing time and expect to be served.

I have eaten there three times, always had to wait for a table, but found it worth the wait every time.

I've been there many times. Best breakfast in the area. Twice as good and half the price of Cracker Barrel.

I Agree.

Cracker Barrel advertises home made dumplings and then gives you egg noodles.

Billy's Cafe is a very good place for breakfast. There are a couple of other good places that serve b'fast and lunch and close at 2pm also. Another one is Lil Bits on CR101 and the other is Sonrise Cafe in Southern Trace shopping plaza. I've been to them all but my latest preference is Lil Bits. They really cook to your order, food is delish and service outstanding.

I thought it was a little odd when I first arrived in TV that some b'fast/lunch restaurants close at 2pm but I'm now used to it but would never say, I won't be back, because your missing a lot. All those places really make good b'fasts.

Cracker Barrel's bacon is something like I've never seen, tastes like cardboard. Sorry CB, I'm a bacon fanatic.

I don't mind waiting for a table - especially at Billy's...but...waiting for a parking pace there really cracks me up...but we do it!

What with the OP never returning there again - looks like there will be one less car waiting for a parking space and one less name on the sign-in sheet!
