Stopped in on the recommendation of some locals after a meeting. Three meat sampler. Chopped brisket hot links and ribsSides of green beans, coleslaw, cheese fries. Their ranch is amazing. Hint of garlic. Hot links and brisket were awesome. Wow good grub.

A friend recommended this place and I am so glad she did! I went for lunch and ordered the chicken bite basket with fried okra and a salad. Their HOMEMADE ranch was absolutely incredible. Everyone was so kind but I wish I got the woman's name who was working the register because she was so helpful not to mention patient. She mentioned the restaurant was family owned and I am a sucker for local & family owned so that was really nice to know! The two I went with ordered the pulled pork plate & the brisket sandwich and they both had a lot of compliments!

Unfortunately it was not good. If you go into a bbq restaurant and it doesn't smell like bbq at all ... well that shoulda been a sign!! I ordered the 2 meat combo that's on their menu only to be told that's a typo they do not really have that meal. You can order a regular meal and add an additional meat which of course is more expensive than the 2 meat combo on their menu. I ordered a chopped brisket dinner and added an additional meat which was Turkey. Meal came with 3 sides so I went with tater tots, green beans & pinto beans. Chopped brisket was just ok... Turkey tasted like it came from the deli counter at Walmart with some bbq sauce squirted on it. Tater tots were good. Green beans tasted like straight out of a generic can. Pinto beans nothing spectacular. Texas toast was burnt & cold. My husband ordered pulled pork sandwich with side of baked beans. Said pulled pork was ok. Baked beans were pork in beans with some bbq sauce.

the only thing that i enjoyed about this place is the ranch. the bbq is mediocre and it all just feels very low quality. i guess that's what you get for the price? because it isn't that expensive but still, i wish it was better because it's a small family business. if you're wanting bbq in Shawnee, go to Vans and make sure you get the curly fries.

Billy Boys Bar-B-Que is like walking into Cheers from the vantage point that you will know someone in the restaurant even if you have been away from Shawnee for more than 10 years. The food at Billy Boys is predictable. My family relies on a few staples. The boneless chicken bites are moist, small, and tender. The meal cones with crinkle fries and a side of toast. These little chicken bites are great with honey. I have eaten Billy Boys beans since my college days. They are just good ole pinto beans. PREDICTABLY good. My spouse gets the sliced brisket. He must think it's edible because he has been ordering this sandwich for me than 20 years. I like Billy Boys tots better than fries. There are tv's on the wall and a large banquet room for events like 80th bdays or graduation parties. This may seem strange, but Billy Boys has some good water with some crunchy ice. If you are in Shawnee stop on by.

Excellent food and take out service!! Love this group of people and the quality of the food. I've tried every bbq place in Shawnee (and there are many) and Billy Boy stands out especially for ribs!

OK, so we have heard good things about this place and off we went, family of seven. This included a great grandmother and our four children, children ranging from less than one year to seven year old twins. We wanted the catfish dinner and ordered three adult portions and one kid catfish dinner. Interestingly enough, the kid's fish and fries were the exact same size as the adult dinners, just with a single side instead of three. I have eaten catfish all over the United States and consider myself something of a catfish connoisseur if there were such a thing. This catfish, ranked among the worst I have ever had. It was not cooked properly. It wasn't raw, but the outside was almost like a skin, tough, and there really wasn't any breading to speak of. It was horrible. Catfish should be well breaded and cooked a rich yellow-brown color---not the lifeless yellowish color of this entree. The catfish dinner was on the menu at a bit over 10 bucks. This came with ONE thin filet, no more. It came with three sides, all of which were acceptable, although the fries were quite skimpy. I feel sure the restaurant management is weakly attempting to compensate for one thin filet of fish with the three sides. That's the biggest part of my negative review---the absolute awfulness of that catfish dinner. L O L, but wait, there's more! The cashier who took our order was polite, but decidedly not friendly. None of the staff smiled or chatted with us. All marginally polite but nothing like the atmosphere I would expect in a family owned restaurant Our cashier/order taker failed to provide a dessert we ordered and also failed to provide us drink cups for our large family. We seated ourselves with three cups and had to go back up to the counter to get enough cups. No one checked on our table other than the overworked server who checked as she served. No one ever came back after the meal was served to verify all was well. No one said thanks for coming, or asked if it were an acceptable meal. No one asked us to hurry back. No management was in evidence. I just saw a bunch of tired people slogging through the motions of running a restaurant with absolutely no enthusiasm. Yet, the place was fairly packed. I have no idea why lol. As for me and mine, we will NEVER return and will openly and volubly shun this establishment. The desserts were good. I would guess they are store bought or a different cook made them. Based off my experience, I can't see this establishment lasting more than another year or two. Even the hard-core loyal local people will have to recognize eventually thiscatfish. dinner is absolute garbage and they deserve friendly smiling service for the price as well as some good food being served rather than this weak attempt

The food is marginally and overpriced. Compared to Austin BBQ it is a zero. BBQ needs cold beer!

Our family has been coming to this Shawnee family run restaurant for years. I was running errands in the area & decided I would order the grilled chicken sandwich with cheese. Although it was very tasty, it was very messy. The only downside to my meal was the server initially brought me only 1 napkin upon bringing me my meal. This problem was quickly remedied when I asked for more napkins. The tots are really good here & I prefer them to the fries but that was just my preference on this particular visit. I decided to try the strawberry cupcake while I was dining in. It was surprisingly very moist & I would order it again. I like that they serve the crunchy ice at this place which is always a bonus.
