Default Billy's Cafe

I was in Lady Lake yesterday about 11:30. I'd never been to Billy's before and decided to give it a try. When I arrived I was seated in a small booth. I ordered a Denver Omelet and it was great! Along with home fries, toast, and several cups of coffee.

The young waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Billy's is a very well run place and worth a visit if you're in the area.

I’ve been to Billy’s Cafe several times and it is a good place to go.

I think you are correct. About 6 months ago, Viki Wellman became the new owner.

I believe Billy's predates musical Chicago

I found Billy's to be too crowded, too slow and just adequate. There are many better places...

Wow, it took 10 post before the first negative post. If you don’t care for a place, just move on without comment. We all need to support our local businesses.

Too crowded= popular. Have been going there for 4 years(25-30 times) and only time it was slow was due to fact that there was a large take out order that came in when we arrived. Another problem created by COVID.

I've lived here for 10 years and have always loved Billy's! If you had one bad experience, give it another try.

A lot of good comments and then there has to be a snarky one. Quit trying to impress with negative comments.
