Billy's Café is the closest thing to a DINER that you will find in the area. Breakfast and lunch, closing at 2:00 Pm. Just get there early enough to be seated, however a short wait is worth the time. Good food, good prices, good people.

So maybe this summer we'll get a chance to try out Billy's.

Heard good things about Billy's Café. Whenever we passed by, the parking lot was pretty full - our indication that patronage was good. Decided to go there for breakfast. Had a Denver Omelet. In all truth, it was nothing to write home about. Think we will put the café on our "been there, done that" list.

Aww...I don't think so. Eating out around here is more convenience than anything else. Most of the things that we would eat out can be made just as easily at home, and taste just as good or better. If we can get in and get seated, fine. That's the convenience of it all. But if I've got to wait, 30, 45, 60 or 60+ minutes for a seat, I'd just as soon stay home and cook.

Overall, the eating establishments in TV are mediocre at best. Mostly chains. Not great fine dining. Guess you have to go to Orlando for that!!
