We ate at Billy Gail's the morning before we left for home, my cousin ordered a pancake, and it was larger then her plate. My son and I had the Camp Breakfast, scrambled eggs, potatoes, onions, green pepper, smothered in cheese, with toast, delicious meal!!

The second time around I tried the pancake. They are huge. My pancake had chocolate chips and my Mom tried hers with pecan. The only thing I didn't like was no half and half for my coffee. Only 2% milk. The food is great and you have to try the pancakes.

Breakfast all day and it looked good. Tenderloin and patty melt were competent +. Ozark service. (I know how to define that, you probably don't. Forward, Direct. You want it...you got it! Y'all come back now!)

My husband and I went to this mom and pop restaurant for breakfast. He got a pancake, and the pancake was the size of a medium pizza. I just got a small breakfast since we were going on a cruise and having lunch not long after. It's cash only, and really good!

A shack tucked away in the sylvan forest that defies comparison. Certainly without the glitz and glitter of the restaurant cousins on the Branson Strip, this little place has charm and most of all good food. No, it has excellent food. And the prices are MOST reasonable. Too many items to mention but one must is the pancake like French... More

We were checking reviews for the "best breakfast" in Branson and Billy Gail's came up so after reading the reviews we decided to check it out ourselves. I'm thankful we did. The Pecan French Cakes were excellent. My daughter thought the French toast was delicious. The younger kids ordered chocolate chip pancakes and the pancake is huge. My husband ordered... More

Typical yet high quality breakfast food is served here. I had the ham and cheese omlet and enjoyed the big chunks of ham. It was prepared well and I loved the crispy shredded has browns. My girls both ordered the huge pancake and loved it. I tried it and it was good tasting but nothing extraordinary. I did love that... More

We enjoyed it! I suggest the pancakes! They are the size of a hubcap! This is a must-see for anyone in Branson! We had to wait, but for only around 8 minutes. Their goal is to get you in quick, feed you and get you out quicker!

After reading the reviews on tripadvisor, I knew this was a must stop on our to-do list in Branson. We were greeted with friendly faces, but the actual waitress we had was short and never came back to our table once we were served. The coffee was watered down and we never received a refill, even though I saw a... More

Great food and service. Ham was excellent. Pancakes are huge. Parking a little scarce. Very nice people and quick service. Be prepared for a wait and parking problems on weekends.
