Billy Rays

I've ate Billy Ray's for years. It's the best diner food in the area. Breakfast is top notch, especially the biscuits and gravy. Shrimp basket is probably my favorite. My wife ate a salad last visit and it was surprisingly impressive. Honestly can't go wrong here. Highly recommended.

Love Billy Ray's. Food good. Service good. Especially Eva. I always get the roast beef. But everything is delicious. Our little dog is a service dog. And they welcome her. Thanks Billy Ray's. And the Cole slaw is the best ever

This restaurant is a well-known local favorite and I have repeatedly made attempts to understand why. The food is not good; I have visited multiple times in an effort to "like" the restaurant, but after my last visit I am done. I do not recommend this place. I will never return; my meal was so bad that I don't even want to drive by this restaurant again!My meal: Sirloin tips that did not appear to be sirloin and had a sour taste--a first for me! The corn was bland (unsalted), tough, and so cool it didn't melt butter. The cornbread muffin was so hard that I only ate one bite; it was also cold and generally tasteless. The only edible items were the green beans (a bit stringy) and the green peppers. My son ordered a grilled cheese sandwich: it was okay, but I can make a better one and I'm a horrible chef! The Diet Coke was good and I liked the ice. Looking at the ceiling was a treat--love its design.The waitress came to our table once and smelled like an ashtray. That was unpleasant, but the biggest need for this establishment are chefs. The food is absolutely awful. It's entirely overpriced.If washing your hands in the bathroom, be careful: the faucet explodes water into the sink and will soak you.If I could go lower than a one-star, I would.

I loved the mismatch of the tables and the chairs. It adds some quaintness to the restaurant. The side salad and the open face hot roast beef sandwich were both good. You can't go wrong with a hot roast beef sandwich in the Appalachian area, I can never get one outside that area.

The only reason I gave this restaurant 3 stars is because of the customer service. Customer service was excellent. Otherwise it would have been a 2 star rating. I ordered sweet tea to drink, the fried mushroom appetizer, the seafood platter, and the tropical cake for dessert.Unfortunately, all of the fried food seemed like it was pre-breaded frozen fare. The fried mushrooms were decent. The only saving grace was that the food runner, not the server, went to the kitchen himself and made me some fresh-from-scratch creamy horseradish for the mushrooms. For me, this is a must for fried mushrooms!The seafood platter had 2 fish (unspecified) fillets, 5 fried shrimp, 2 fried scallops (yes, just 2), and 2 deviled crab. So, 4 fried proteins and 4 different frying styles. The fish fillets had a cornmeal crust, the shrimp were battered, the scallops had almost an overcooked panko-like breading, and the deviled crab was just plain fried.Most of it was bland. The only thing that really had any flavor was the deviled crab, which was flavorful but a bit on the salty side.The tropical cake was very dry and bland. So dry that I had to take sips of drink along the way. The icing was whipped and just felt like whipped grease in my mouth. The chunks of pineapple in the icing was the only thing that gave it any flavor. Not sweet at all.The restaurant had a decent atmosphere but you couldn't really hear the music that was playing except when entering or exiting. Overall a mediocre experience.

Enjoyed breakfast at Billy Ray's. Good biscuits and gravy with nice service and good pricing.

Well where donI start. Billy Rays is an iconic landmark sort of place! It used to be a pool room and arcade with restaurant but now it's just the restaurant. You can still get the very very best in Kentucky cuisine! Some of their recipes are probably over one hundred years old i bet maybe more. So give Billy rays a try this Sunday after dinner! Y'all tell 'em legendary sent ya! Have a good day y'all!

We arrived 30 min before closing and received excellent service. Our order was brought out with little wait. Very good food!The staff was friendly and checked on us several times. We will return if we're in the area again!

Food was Ice cold and honestly inedible the food took an hour and 30 minutes and the server was rude. The floors was sticker and hard to walk on and the table was trashy and so was the floors.Don't recommend.

I have never ate here and had anything I wouldn't recommend. Their home cooked food is good to the last bite. It's very inviting and comfortable while dining in.
