Great food at an unbelievable price. Service was slow, but they were very busy.

Great Bloody Marys, friendly staff, casual clean fun atmosphere, v good for sports w many large TVs. Pulled pork sandwich is awesome and my husband smokes and makes his own great pork so this is a high rating! Other good pub food and not all fried. Excellent "Up North" choice,.

Been coming up here for snowmobiling recently and this place was recommended to me so I thought I'd give it a try. Came in for wings on Monday night and while the food was good the older lady server that we had was not. She was rude, didn't check back with us for refills or anything and it just made out dining experience unpleasant.

Billy Bobs is probably my favorite place to watch the game and grab a bite to eat. The atmosphere is great, the service is always great and the food is hard to beat. They know how to treat people, I will send people as often as I am asked where to grab a bite to eat or a cold drink!

This is a good size sports bar with solid, if not spectacular, food. The food is actually fresher and tastier than most local restaurants - especially the aging supper clubs. The burgers appear to be hand made with fresh ground beef. The fries are a wife favorite and the pizza is delicious too. Lots of TVs to catch the Packers, Brewers and other sporting events. Service is usually good, but that does fluctuate. Appropriate for kids.

Have been here a couple times when I'm visiting my parent's cabin near Tomahawk. They have AMAZING pizza. There is something about the crust that is just perfect... not too thin and it has a bit of a garlic taste? Whatever they are doing tastes great. I've only had the pizza here, so I cannot speak for anything else on the menu. Nice patio, good service. Not sure what it's like after 10pm, but seems like it could be a good place for a few drinks. There seems to be a younger crowd there - but don't let that deter you from trying their pizza!

We have been to Billy Bobs several times for drinks and/or food. Normally We order a salad because they were huge and good or so we thought. the last time we were in there my mom and I ordered salads which we were looking forward to all day and what came out on the plate was disgusting. The lettuce (if you can even call it lettuce) was brown around the edges and it felt more like a peice of fabric than a nice peice of crunchy lettuce. The mushrooms were turning brown and tasted like they were dipped in a bath of chemicals along with some of the not so fresh vegetables! So when the bartender/waitress came to ask how things were we told her about the things listed above and her response was "well that's how our produce comes in and that's how the mushrooms taste when they come in." So we sent the salad back with maybe a few bites taken out and we were still charged full price!! We were so angry! If there produce comes in like that and they are willing to serve it then what else are they willing to serve that shouldn't be. We have not been back since and don't plan on it!!

One of the best options in Tomahawk and honestly better fare than I have experienced at any of the supper clubs. If you are looking for a break from the "frozen store bought then deep fried" normal offerings of this area- this is the place. The Sunday night fried chicken dinner was a huge hit with the family and my 5 year old son wanted another plate of chicken he liked it so much. Pizzas are made from scratch- a little heavy handed on the cheese but this is WI I guess. I also really enjoyed their southwestern cheese curds (? can't remember name), a little spicy dipping sauce made for nice change of pace. Not a lot of choices for a vegetarian but I've come to expect that in this area. Service is definitely typical WI sloooooooooooowww. HS/ College aged kids who aren't really educated on the menu or beer selection and need to be tackled if you want another round of anything. Absolutely nice people, just no sense of urgency. The bar is great, good selection of beers and plenty of TVs. They have been kind enough to change the station to whatever we wanted to watch both times we've been there. Ok- so honestly would I give this place 4 stars if it was anywhere else? Probably not, it's just average bar food. But given the choices in this area I would definitely recommend this place. Good crowd of people, decent food, good beer selection, and at reasonable prices.

A friend of ours suggested we stop here on the way out of Minocqua. It was a bit out of the way (even for the Northwoods) but worth the visit. Everything seemed to be homemade. The fries had the skins on. The Sunday fried-chicken special was outstanding. The chili was just like my mom's. We did get that "your not from around here" look when we walked in, but we really weren't from around there. We were the only people without Packer's attire on. This place is good...for the Northwoods its great! I will definitely stop back when I am up that direction again.

Pizza and nachos are pretty good. Great atmosphere for a game.

Drove up at noon on a Tuesday, parking lot was full! Good sign! Had the Pork Po Boy! Great sandwich! Friendly service, owner checked to see if everything was OK three different times! Even if he was busy! We Will be going back!

Been in before and food and bartenders were great! Stopped in this past Sunday 9/5/15 around 1 or 2 pm with a group of 5 and got a seat right up at the bar. We got drinks right away and then placed a food order shortly after. We sat for long periods of time for our drinks thereafter and the bartender was rude about it when we asked for our drinks to be refilled. She never smiled or acknowledged our "thank you's" when she did bring us something. In fact it seemed she really hated her job and even made the comment "I can't wait to get out of here". We enjoyed our food and will return just because we have had a good experience here before, we just might turn around and leave if that bartender is working and sit at a table.

For the area, Billy Bob's has some of the better food around - granted, the Northwoods is by no means known for fresh ingredients, innovative food, or even utilizing salt appropriately so that's worth a little but certainly doesn't make it great. Sysco rules most Northwoods restaurants, although Billy Bob's does appear to cook many dishes from scratch and even makes their own fries so at least they try. Unfortunately, the food is still hit or miss at Billy Bob's - the pulled pork "po-boy" is a stringy mush of pork which is eminently forgettable. The pizza always looks good and some of the sandwich specials such as beef with blue cheese & onions have been good but in general the food is average or maybe a little better - the place is always packed however so that is usually a good sign as long as they can handle the crowds. Service, unfortunately, is generally below par and it turns out they apparently can't handle the crowds so if you see a full parking lot I would recommend that you keep on driving if you're remotely hungry at that moment. On my first visit service in a fairly empty restaurant was quite slow but friendly enough and at the low end of the acceptable range. My second visit was sitting at the bar when the restaurant was virtually empty and the food was slower than I would have expected but fine because I know they're actually making food rather than just throwing stuff in a microwave. On my third visit during a somewhat busy lunch (about two thirds of the tables were full), our server was horrible and the wait times were ridiculous - we placed an order 10 minutes after sitting down, then waited 30 minutes for our cheese curd appetizer to come out and another 30 minutes after that for our sandwiches to be served (while we even saw some people who were seated just before or even after us being served, eating, paying, and leaving ). We also overheard the waitress complain to the bartender (who I believe is also an owner) after 45 minutes about the slowness at which point the bartender loudly berated the server and told her that "it's not fast food" and "let them wait". Honestly, the server let us sit there with empty glasses for 5-10 minutes at a time and studiously avoided eye contact for the first 45 minutes so she did an overall poor job and I suspect the food delay (due to a "mixup in the kitchen") was her fault but at least after we asked about our food she finally tried to do something about it. If the bartender/owner feels it is acceptable for an Italian Beef and a Chicken Sandwich to take 60 minutes to be served (and this number is not exaggerated, at all) then apparently there is a major issue at Billy Bob's that will never be fixed. There aren't a ton of options in the area, but I still don't have any expectation of returning to Billy Bob's after multiple visits with average to marginal experiences. And based on their attitude it appears they are fine with that - if they're making money and have a full parking lot much of the time then it's certainly their prerogative to turn away business. For their sake, I hope their business continues to be successful but I certainly won't recommend Billy Bob's to anyone based on my experiences.

Having driven by this eatery numerous times over the years, we stopped in today for lunch. Large, clean and welcoming place with many large flat screens for all the sporting events you might hope to watch. I ordered the Italian beef and hubby had a Reuben. Both were delicious, as were the homemade fries. Skip the cole slaw....not too good. I could see this being a fun place to watch a football or baseball playoff game....try it out!
