Billy Ray’s Restaurant

We got here at 5 minutes til closing time, they kept the kitchen open for us, the whole place was very clean. They never rushed us. The food and service was fantastic!!!

In town for the first time. Unilocaled Billy Ray’s. Exactly what we were looking for. Great home cooking. Had the country fried steak. Others in my party had spaghetti and open-​faced roast beef. All were excellent. Will be in town all weekend and expect to have most meals here. Service was very good, too.

The atmosphere is better than the food. The open seating layout allows for more customers. Pretty good value. I recommend you try the hot fudge sundae!

Pot roast to die for. Juicy tasty melt in your mouth meat. Add new potatoes, carrots, and green beans = best home cooked tasting meal in Prestonburg. I’ll be back

I have been to Billy Ray’s on many occasions and have enjoyed it every time. The place is set up like an older style restaurant with a newer feel.
The service is great. Sometimes a little slow but the place is always full. The prices are fair and the food is some of the best I have ever eat.
I would recommended this restaurant. The food is good so I the service and the place is very clean.

Greasy spoon kinda place that is oh so good! I usually eat breakfast here because there is just something about their bacon, the way it melts in your mouth… ummm hummm! Wait staff is almost always awesome!

Used another app to discover Billy Ray’s Playhouse Restaurant. Located in the heart of business section of Pburg this was a great discovery for me. Was informed that this restaurant was formerly a pool room and then an arcade thus the name Playhouse. Moderately upscale diner with a huge hometown ambiance. Restaurant was 2\3 full of patrons at 3:00 pm on this Friday afternoon. I ordered a Pool Room cheeseburger, soup beans with corn bread and onions, fries and slaw. Slaw was amongst the best I have ever ate. Fries was standard crinkle cut but marvelously fried to perfection. Pinto’s had a unique flavor that I really liked. The only fault I have with this meal was that the beans were just warm. Cornbread was muffin shaped and also had a unique flavor that was appealing. The waitresses wore shirts that featured «Pool Room Burger» on the back. The burger was to die for. It was like a melt in your mouth ground beef truffle. Fantastic! The flavor put me in mind of an Iowa «Maid Right» only the beef was in a solid patty. Restaurant serves dinner style comfort dinners as well. I viewed several dinners being served open faced roast beef with mashed potatoes meals. Meal cost $ 9.78 including tax. Service was solid. I will return when traveling through Prestonsburg in the future. This is truly a hometown treasure.

I can’t let this injustice fall on the people of Unilocal.Listen, this place absolutely sucks. I got a double cheeseburger and it tasted like the $ 4 it cost. Probably at best grade D meat. It was smeared with mayo and it was a mess. The place was crowded and slow. Staff was nice, but every time I go here I am left hungry, disgusted, and cheated. Never again will I go to Billy Rs. I am not one to enjoy eating institutionalized food. Don’t even get me started with the mash potato sundae– JTFC!

Imagine stepping back in time to that little olé country diner that you remembered? Well, you don’t have to look far to find it! The charm of Billy Ray’s will amaze you in this little town. The staff and food is good too. Although we only had breakfast my party could tell that this is home cooking at its best. Eggs with a plate size piece of ham along with a very large biscuit with gravy filled this empty stomach this morning. The coffee was fresh and watching the locals chow down on country cooking made the trip worth it. A nice taste of Kentucky!

This was a Unilocal!find while in Prestonsburg, and was glad to find it. My colleagues and I came here for lunch twice, as we were happy with our first visit. Their daily specials and sides are great and the service is friendly. It’s just home cooking, but it was a nice option while working in Prestonsburg.

Good diner with southern menu and friendly service

Lots of food for not a lot of money. This is the sort of old-​school, small-​town diner that you don’t find as often as you once did. Solid, varied menu and friendly service make this a great choice for casual dining. Also worth noting: the extensive dessert offerings, which include pies, cakes, and pastries.
