Sounds like a place we will want to visit for breakfast when we come in May. I love the way people speak up.

I don't go there anymore because of some diet changes I made, but I used to go there often and loved it. I have always thought of Billy's as a place inhabited by people who really know what they're doing. If it's crowded you have to sign the sign up sheet, but I've always been seated within a couple of minutes. The wait staff are pros, serving food with one hand and doing a left handed reverse coffee pour with the other, and not spilling a drop. The food always come out quickly and it's always good and plentiful. Of all the restaurant "reviews" I've seen on TOTV, criticizing Billy's for walking in at closing time and being told they're closed is crazy.

Billy'sCafe is on 441 just north of The Villages Hospital, on the same side.

It is directly across 441 from the car wash, that is in front of Lowes/Beals

We had a similar experience our first time going to Billy's. Got there too late. We did go back on other occasions because we just hate to think we missed something good. Our second and third experiences went much better than the first. I honestly can't say that it was anything exceptional as far as quality of food or service. It wasn't a bad experience - just not good enough to go back.

We've always talked about going in sometime for lunch AFTER the population thins out in June or July. But I won't wait in line for a table anyplace. Sure, a few minutes, but never 15 minutes plus, which is why we avoid all the restaurants around here from late December-May. The only cooking I would wait in line for is my mother's. So maybe this summer we'll get a chance to try out Billy's.

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.
Based on the # of posts your comment created the management of Billies would like to thank you for your post

I would not go there either. They act like you are supposed to know. I'll go somewhere else.

I have a friend who has raved about Billy's for awhile now. Since we don't often do breakfast have not yet stopped there. Thank you for letting us know what time not to go.
