Billy’s Tavern

I love this place because you can sit outside and eat. I only get the burgers and pizza everytime but both are great. Also have a great mango ipa on tap brewed in Hollywood fl. Staff is real nice too.

Would give this place zero stars if I could! The wings are not that great (legends down the street is a way nicer establishment and infinitely better)! The beer list says check out our seasonal beers but they have none! The buffalo shrimp was fried with the tails on and was freezer burnt! Nothing was good… we ended up cashing out quickly after a fight broke out on the outdoor patio that involved 5 grown men! Plenty of better places to go in plantation for the same type of food that is much better and you don’t have to worry about getting to your car after the meal!

Thanks to Rob G. who gave the information about the numerous health code violations that were obviously present to the staff/​management/​owner, but didn’t care enough to fix the issues without getting shut down. I will absolutely avoid this suck in an effort to remain out of the hospital.

The food at this establishment is excellent! They offer the absolute best sweet potato fries I have ever had. The service, however, is a totally different subject. Every time I’ve been, the staff is rude or takes way too long to return to the table. Normally service of this caliber would keep me away, but the food keeps bringing me back. Do yourself a favor and order the sweet potato fries!

First time here, sad especially since I’ve lived down the street for 15 years. Myong wings were delicious and I still want to try the other variety of sauces. It’s a sport’s themed bar and restaurant with traditional food. They have certain unique touches on dishes that show on the menu. I’ll be back here soon to explore some more.

We always enjoy the service and great food at Billy’s. We are there a couple of times a week.

Amazing food and great service! We had the curly cheese fries and chicken wings. Amazing food, friendly staff, and great service!

Great food, lovely staff! Even the kitchen guys, who usually tend to be gnarly malcontents at most restaurants, are friendly guys. Love this place. I gotta check it out on game day

Gotta shout this awesome place out.
Delicious pub food, really friendly environment, and a staff that treats you like you’re their personal neighbor. It’s local dives like these that truly make a neighborhood great. I frequent Billy’s at least 3x a month, and have tried everything from their pizza, buffalo chicken wrap, quesidilla, grouper fingers, etc… all are delicious.
No complaints.

The MYONG wings are a must! Great pizzas too! Lost of TVs so you won’t miss a thing. Nice big patio for outdoor seating. Different specials for everyday of the week just about!

This is a great dive, for meeting with the guys and watching a game.
Excellent wings
Excellent burgers
Onion rings are great.
More healthy side dish choices would be nice.
Very large menu, something on there for everyone.
The staff can be a hit or miss.
Prices are fair.

I keep thinking I will try something new but I always go back to the Grueben Sandwich. Never had a less than good experience at Billy’s and the other dishes do look really good. Being a creature of habit, I have not tried anything else. Yet.

I have passed Billy’s for many years, so on a whim and after reading reviews here on Unilocal,stopped in one night, had a really cold beer and the Myong wings. They were really good, the bar is low key which I appreciate as I deal with people all day and appreciate the chance to chill out after work, you can do that here.
Stopped in again and the bartender recommended the Carmalized onion & bacon pizza, holy you know what, it was friggin awesome!
Needless to say, Billy’s is great and easygoing, and has become a regular stop for me!

Pepsi products have been switched out for Coke.
Wings are still delicious. The celery and blue cheese is ridiculously good. It comes on a huge platter with a huge bowl and it’s like they put a whole block of blue cheese in it every time.
Had a carnivore pizza and it was one of the better pizzas I’ve had in town. The crust had a nice crunchy outside but was still fluffly and doughy on the inside without being tough or chewy. Toppings and cheese were also good.
Haven’t been disappointed with anything we’ve ordered here after visiting multiple times on a regular basis.

Average at best. The wings were dry and only the Myong sauce made them edible. There’s a garlic Parmesan sauce for the wings that had an odd fishy aftertaste (not really sure what that was about).
The saving grace was the sweet potato fries. Best I’ve had at a bar. I would go back just to order the fries.
They just started serving liquor, but don’t bother. The drinks are filled to the top with as much ice as you can pack in a glass and then probably watered down. Not worth the money.

Having lived here now for 5 years, we unfortunately, only just discovered Billy’s Tavern. I say unfortunately because had we known about Billy’s sooner it would have saved us 4.5 years of at least one of our four family members having to «settle for». It is one of the few local and economical dining choices that everyone can always agree upon.
The pizza is magnificent as it the Fish & Chips and wings! My wife likes the Grilled Chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. When the check arrives I often wonder if they left something off because it just usually seems as though we should be paying more for all we have just received.
The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because I wish they were open later than 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and I think they need to employ more wait staff. Perhaps it is just the times that we go (mostly after 9:00 p.m.) but we sometimes find ourselves wishing the server would make another appearance more frequently. The quality of the food and the price however, really do actually make up for that. If however, they could manage to ratchet up the quality of their their service a notch or so, my desire to give them the fifth star would come quite easily!

I’ve been to Billy’s a couple times. Not because I wanted to, just because I was meeting people. I’ll try to not be biased because I am from Cleveland and this is a Pittsburgh bar.
The beer selection here is not great, but it’s not really that kind of place. I wouldn’t order some imperial belgian IPA here even if they had it. I of course got Yuengling (when in Rome). The prices are good and they do a good job of keeping the draft lines nice and clean, which is a big deal to me! There’s no better way to ruin a draft beer and get me to never come back than running dirty draft lines. If you own a bar, take care of your equipment. So good job Billy’s.
The wings are pretty good and they have some unique flavors. Everyone raves about the miyong wings, but I don’t really get it. It’s way too much garlic for me. But I’m in the minority on this one as most people seem to love them. The wings that really stood out to me were the raspberry wings… you heard right, raspberry. My curiosity was peaked, and I just had to get them. The first two raspberry wings you eat are really really good, but they start to overwhelm after that, so I recommend splitting these and getting another flavor if you want to eat a lot of wings.
So, good beer, good food… then why 3 stars you ask? The service BLOWS! Every time I’ve been there they act like it’s a chore to have to serve me. Food comes out relatively fast, but the wait staff just seems generally annoyed about the whole thing. Like this would be the best job in the world if it wasn’t for all these pesky customers.
I went over the summer to watch the world cup with maybe 15 people (all in early 20’s) sitting between 2 tables. When it was time to go she brings out a single check… Really? You HAVE to know it is going to be separate checks. We didn’t even all come in at the same time. Well, she can just split it up, no big deal right? WRONG. She acted like it was the first time she ever split a check before… This is a sports bar. Insanity. So then to add insult to injury, we all had to go up to the bar one at a time, to tell her what we had, which she gave us each a lecture individually. Sorry for giving you business.
The food is good, but I’m not going back unless it is to meet up with people.

Some friends of mine dragged me here for Monday night wing night and although I’m generally not the biggest fan, I was having a crap day and needed to get out. So I went.
I have been to this place before but can’t remember eating their wings. Evidently their signature house sauce is «miyong». A garlicy asian style house sauce if you will. Personally I prefer BBQ and mild. On wing night, wings are .50 each but you have to buy 5 of each flavor (2.50 each: big deal) and normally they are around $ 8 for 8. So I ordered a big side of fries for the table and 10. We all kind of ate off each other’s and tried different flavors.
Our waitress was Shannon and did a pretty good job of taking care of 18 – 20 people on the patio and keeping all our checks straight. I even think she comped one or two beers since the checks were printed before they got poured or something, so she gets extra brownie points and tips from us. As a former waitress, I understand how much you work and when my check is $ 6 I’ll just round up to 10 because I know how good it feels to see an 80% tip: even when it’s $ 4. To me leaving $ 1.25 tip when we were there for over 2 hours and she was helping us the entire time just isn’t fair. So I know we will be back for more wings: I hope she’s there to help us.

Wings are always delicious here!

I came here with my friend after class two or three weeks ago. It was pretty empty. It is your typical wing restaurant with an accompanying bar, except they have a wine rack on one side of the restaurant. They have lots of fun, anecdotal signs hanging everywhere with tons of interesting decorative pieces. It is a quaint restaurant.
Our waitress let us choose our table. We sat towards the front because the rest of the restaurant was a bit too dark for my taste. I like to see what I am eating. Thanks.
I was undecided and settled on a burger. Plus, the waitress raved about how awesome the burgers tasted. My friend chose the Myong wings, which she claimed were fantastic. The food arrives and disappointment set in.
My burger was hard and flavorless. The fries were the best part of my meal. Although, they weren’t going to receive a medal either. My friend wanted me to try some of her wings. I am not a regular wing person. If I go to a wing place, I normally order the boneless wings. Yes, I am well aware that they aren’t really wings. I just don’t see the point in getting my hands extremely messy over a tiny piece of meat. Anywho, I tried some anyway. They were pretty good. They were a bit tangy, but I couldn’t put my finger on the exact flavors. I would have to taste them again.
On a positive note, they seem to be family friendly and the service is good. They are located off of SR 84, just east of Pine Island Road. If you aren’t careful, you will miss them. Good location in relation to the colleges/​universities. I am sure the students keep them quite busy. I will have to check them out again in the near future. Maybe I will have a craving for wings soon. Eh, probably not. Until next time…
